Sleeping in Seattle!

OK, not to jinx him or anything, but at this point, I am going to go out on a limb and say that Spiller is the closest
thing that I have seen to Barry Sanders in like forever, only bigger and stronger.
-
I don't have a problem with the booing, it is our God given right, and he did deserve it. With that being said, I believe
he stil leads the leauge for TD passes. That's what you get with Fitz, there really is not a lot of middle ground with him,
he is either terrible, or brilliant. If we can, like other posters mentioned, just have him manage the game, I think we will
start to see a little more evenness to his game
-
He threw off his back foot when there is no pressure. QBs can make an oline look worse than they are, see Rob Johnson. Cutler ever. And I'd love to have their receiving core over the Bills right now. They have monsters that you can just throw the ball up too.
I just think it's amazing that people try to make Cutler into some type of great QB. He comes across a stuck up d bag who thinks he's better than everyone. He's not a leader and for a guy who went to Vandy, he's not that bright.
Have to agree here, and they can make weak offensive lines look way better than they are, for example Ben Rothlisberger.
Granted he has had some pretty decent lines, but even when he doesn't, he just keeps chugging along and produces.
I would not want Cutler on my team. Not crowning Fitz by any stretch here, but he has played behind some pretty poor lines.
As a matter of fact, I think he was better with pressure coming quickly and that might be part of his problem now. He is
going to have to make the adjustment of having time now. Nice problem to have, he will, and the Bills will be fairly successful
with him at the helm this year. I am pretty confident of this.

I can understand the divisional games to close the season out so that teams do not rest their starters, but I whole heartedly
disagree with scheduling week one divisional opponents. The game is too big to have someone starting thier season with
it.This gives the home team a huge advantage in my mind, as teams sometimes early need time to get their feet under them,
so to speak. I would make all week 1 games cross-conference affairs. With that being said, we are still going to win this one,
23-20 Buffalo OT.

You missed the point, that's not clipping (personal foul). It was a borderline block in the back.
Clipping/Block in Back, my point was that the regular officials would have called it as well.
It's pretty much the same sing.
-
That phantom clipping call was not phantom, he did, however slightly, push him in the back, and I have no doubt that the real officials would have called that too.You can disagree. But they definitely missed a ton of holding calls, and called some penalties they shouldn't have. They looked better than most of the crews in the preseason, and didn't obviously affect the outcome of the game, I'll give you that.
They also called a phantom "clipping" (it was a borderline block in the back, not a personal foul) call on a kick return, which even had Michaels/Collinsworth scratching their heads. Kind of reminded me of the two "block in the backs" during the return called on KICKING teams in the preseason (something that in theory shouldn't be possible). Or the Bills first punt of the preseason, which was downed at the 6, but they somehow called a touchback...
As he said, this was the best crew. I'm sure we will see some pretty interesting officiating the rest of week one. Unlike the preseason, these games matter and mistakes won't be quite as "funny" any more.
I really think that they did ok, didn't notice much difference between them and "real" officials, although I will reserve ultimate judgement pending future collective bodies
of work. It was a little scary when the announcers kept mentioning that the crew head was a middle school teacher and ref.but still thought that he and his crew did a
credible job. If I was the NFL, I would tell the announcers to tone it down a bit cause we are most likely gonna have to live with them for a while. possibly all season,
and they tend to incite.

I thought that I had heard that we were going to be wearing blue road pants. Can anybody confirm this?
If yes, is it just like for one game or something? I got all excited when I heard this as I would definitley
like ro see this. The white and white is a bit overwelming. I guess it beats the hell pout of those awful
Allouettes style threads they used to wear.

And if he pee'd wine he would be a complete dinner!
Well done sir, way to complete the cycle. I know that water has been turned into wine before, not sure about pee though, he should give it a try.
-
Seems like the general sentiment here is that we are DOOMED, DOOMED I tell ya. I agree, I wondered how much money
the real ones actually made sometime last year, and was suprised to learn that it was much less than I was told and had
heard about. Now they may be trying to back the brinks truck up, but really in the grand scheme of things, and I know that
the NFL doesn't want to appear weak, it's probably reasonable. This is a train wreck about to happen.

what if elvis grbac driving a winnebago made of swiss cheese rolls out of my butt?
What if meat seaps out of your head? You will have meat rolling out of your head, and cheese seaping out of your butt!
You could make yourself a meat and cheese sandwhich.

The one that bugs me the most, usually used, I mean over-used in Hockey, is "Obviously", the Canucks love that one, I think that it is a substitute for how we
use "well" or "um" in our conversations
-
"most definitely"
Beat me to it, can you say Eric Dickerson? Most definitley!
"Ya gotta love...."
Ya gotta love a guy like that with mud on his pants
Ya gott alove how he sees the field
Ya gotta love how he sheds blocks
Ya gotta love...give it a rest
I see you have met Chuckie!

as a backup if hes healthy sure I still don't understand the love affair with the guy though. He was awful when he was here. Consistenly behind in coverage and slow to react, and the only reason he ever started with the ravens is cause Dawan Landry was hurt. He wasn't all that good with the Jets either. Not bad for a depth player. As a special teams player for the Bills he's kind of useless. He's not gonna be a punt returner here. He's a ok tackler in the run game when he keeps the play infront of him. In coverage a liability.
I don't recall him being as bad as you state, although I have no actual statistics to support my argument.
You seem to have a better grasp of what he did or did not accomplish with the Bills, but I cannnot agree
with you about the Jets at all. Man that guy was always around the ball for them, and made a ton of key
amd timely plays for them, and to me he seems like the perfect lead by example with a ton of heart guy who
can really make anybody's roster that much better.
Bring him back Chix!!

I think that I saw every play that Brad Smith ran from the QB position out of the wilcat formation, and I do not
remeber any of them that did not gain yards, many of them several yards, and if not mistaken, many of them for
critical 1rst downs. He had that succsess with the defense knowing exactly what was coming, and that to me is
value. I think a lot of people aren't giving him the credit that he deserves, but I think Chan recognizes his value.
What is blowhard Rex gonna say? That is just Rex saying something to say something, as we all know that if his blubber
lips aren't flapping, then he is not talking.
With a full training camp, more ways for Chan to experiment with different ways to use him, and Brad being as crafty and
elusive as he is,we will really see his value soar this year, if he gets enough touches.
-
As the Colts showed last season when you have one of the best QBs to ever play the game you can have loads of holes in your team and still be good. As long as Brady is there they will win despite these flaws. Put Brady on the Bills and they're suddenly Super Bowl favorites.
IMHO, and not taking anything away from Brady, but it's pretty obvious to me, that much, and could probably make the
claim that most of Brady's success had as much to do with not being able to lay a finger on him for most of his career,
then him being THAT good. The real test of his greatness will come when he doesn't have that strong of an offensive line
in front of him. We should find out soon enough. Everyone now understands pretty fullly that pressuring him is the way
to beat him.
-
I think that with Carder looking as solid in camp as he has so far, although very early into camp,
that we might just have our cake and eat it to. Maybe Carder or Bradham turn out to be as good as Kuchely,
just didn't have the same college pedigree, just sayin!

Can we please add Mike Emerick in the NHL to this list of way over the toppers,
he drives me nuts with his nasaly screaming and ranting.I much prefer subtle announcer/
color guys. I know that he wasn't much of a GM, but I really like Matt Millen on
color for NFL, and the guy is just as insightful as any of them.

From reading through the various posts, it is apparent that the common denominator is the people.
I went back up for a Sabres game this past fall, and when we get into the elevator at the Hotel,
some delivery guy gets in and immediatley asks where we are from at what brings us to Buffalo.
Pretty much the same everywhere we went, and my wife comments to me, that the people up here are
so open and freindly, I just smile and say "that's Buffalo".
I live in Pittsburgh, and have for the last 40+ years, and although it is a great place to live
and raise a family, it cannot hold a candle to the good natured people from Buffalo.

Very sorry for your loss, and the covers are excellent.
Sorry, but I have to ask, is your avatar Spags (Jimmy Spagnola), maybe a little younger picture, after he got what was coming to him?
