  1. I posted the same highlight video a few weeks back, I believe Mark Anderson is grossly under rated but you have to remember Tom Brady scored a lot of points which forced teams into a passing mode and this is the main reason he was effective in NE. Hopefully Buffalo offense can do the same

  2. Easy schedule, VY won't even challenge for anything more than the #2 spot, the team does have some very talented receivers on the roster, There's no doubt the team has depth in many areas, more so than any time in the last 17 years by a wide margin, and lastly The patriots went to the Superbowl, haven't lost much in the offseason and have the right to be considered #1 until someone else proves otherwise.

     

    I voted for easy schedule.

     

    I disagree about depth, should Stevie go down the Bills WR corps would easily be ranked near the bottom of the NFL. Some people right here believe we don't even have a #2 let alone a replacement for Stevie Johnson.

    Not my idea of solid depth.....:flirt:

  3. I have to go with Vince Young, I am just not buying the story. This was more of a "Eliminate Controversy" move by Chan Gailey and Buddy Nix.

     

    I also don't buy that David Lee can somehow fix Ryan Fitzpatrick but NOT Vince Young. We never read anything about that.

     

    Like it or not Ryan Fitzpatrick is still ranked #23 in the NFL, hardly a case for untouchable.

  4. I've mentioned it here before that i made a bet last offseason that the bills would end the season with a better record than the Colts and that was before anyone knew manning wouldn't play. That bold bet earned $100.

     

    My bold bet this year - the bills will advance in the playoffs as far or farther than the champion giants.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

     

    The was a great but dangerous bet but nice job :worthy:

  5. I like to do Over/under for season wins. I have bet on Bills and other teams and won more than lost. I REALLY like the over this year. I mean I really like the over. I think Vegas has us at 7 wins. That's a steal!!!

     

    You really need to know your stuff the first 3 weeks, Vegas is clueless.

     

    There is no way the Jets should be favored in my opinion. BUT, don't listen to me. I suck

  6. Chris Brown, in his weekly Fan Friday column today said he thinks the Bills will only keep 5 WR. It's possible they will bring someone new in, they considered Josh Groban, but to me it's really unlikely unless it is a Nick Barnett quality player that has been released in final cuts who is big and fast and proven. To me, Stevie, Nelson, Graham and probably Donald Jones are locks, and Hagan and/or Easley are going to make the team. The new guy would have to be a clear starter to bring in at that point in the game.

     

    I just see some team dumping cap for a younger,cheaper player. Must be 10 teams in cap trouble.

  7. On one hand, that was a terrific article explaining the plays the Bills use and why they are successful with each back. Nice work. On the other hand, the article completely misses the real issue. The Bills will very likely be able to run those plays Brooks exhibited with each back in the game. The real key to an explosive offense, and one that defenses will not be able to handle well is how Gailey devises plays and packages where both Jackson and Spiller are in the game. There will surely be two back sets, and there will be a large number of plays when both backs are on the field, and then one or the other splits out, or one or the other goes in motion, and once in awhile when one splits out and the other goes in motion leaving an empty backfield but hopefully a huge mismatch in whomever may be covering one of them. That is where Gailey has the biggest challenge, and the success of Jackson and Spiller playing as a tandem is likely the real key to their individual and team success.

     

    Also, because Gailey will very likely employ the tandem on a large chunk of the team's plays, the need for a #6 WR really goes out the window. With Brad Smith going to play a few plays a game at WR, and with Spiller and/or Jackson going to be split out or in motion on a large number of plays, even when we go four or five wide, we may only have three WR in the game (along with Chandler, and maybe Dickerson if he makes the team). We could even go into the season with 5 WR although it's highly likely to be 6.

     

    The team has a ton of options and a ton of weapons. Gailey has a lot of toys but a huge challenge trying to make it the most difficult to defend, and the most difficult to prepare for. I'm really looking forward to seeing what he will do and how often he uses it. We may even see some wild variation of the Wildcat with Smith at QB and both Spiller and Jackson on the field.

     

    Good article by Brooks but he missed the boat IMO on the crucial element of the Spiller and Jackson predicament, potential and challenge.

     

    I still believe the Bills will sign another WR at the final 53. We Will See
