  1. Yeah its week 2 of the Pre-Season. Yes the Minnesota centers appeared to be trying out for long snapper on 1st down.

     

    But seriously this defense looks fearsome.

     

    They are shuffling the D-Line like back in the day when Bruce would jump around and attack the weakest link. They are fast, like my fast is faster than your fast, fast. Jerry Hughes was wide wide wide and got to the QB fast fast fast. The Safeties are bringing some major wood when someone gets the ball.

     

    It has been a long time since the Bills had a defense that sparked fear in the hearts of the opposition.

     

    I have been trying not to believe the Pettine hype until I see it with my own eyes on the field.

     

    I've seen it now. Yes its pre-season but it looks real.

     

    I'm calling it now.

     

    Bad things Man . ..

    You rang?

  2. Yeah I used to shoot out of a dart league in Blinco's. Now that shizz closed down?? I heard the owner just quit paying the mortgage. Anyhow, no more darts or delicious wings from there. The question is, where is everyone headed for the season opener??

  3. Ok, so I tend bar at a pretty decent restaurant here in Raleigh. I have served quite a few professional athletes. The Carolina hurricanes are pretty much regulars during the season. Dre Bly, Az Hakim, Tory Holt, even met and chatted with Johnny White (remember him?) for a while, while he ate his delicious bacon burger and fries. Mario Williams has been in dozens of times. Bought him a Mai Tai last time and had him autograph two Bills hats, that I just so happened to have in my truck. Even random whackos like Ludacris. Point is some tip great and some not at all. Some lady left me a 20, because my Cosmo "changed her life". But credit card information should be discretionary and that girl will most likely be fired. My friend posted his $700 from Peyton and Eli Manning to his facebook page and got fired for that! As far as the whole etiquette thing goes, the guys put together to go orders are running around like hamsters all night. And they don't expect, but really appreciate a tip from the guest ordering take out. I'm an over tipper. I tip everyone, from the guy that rolls my sushi at Kanki, to the kid that cleans out my golf cart. But that's just me. But my drinks are always strong and my sushi rolls always comes out before everyone else's... And yes, I have tipped at McDonald's before.

  4. This will be interesting to see. Fans always want this but coaches for some reason are very reluctant to do it. Coach Gailey said he was going to, but didn't. Tom Landry said he was going to put Tony Dorsett and Herschel Walker on the field at the same time but didn't. Giants never had 2 out of the 3 Jacobs, Ward, and Bradshaw in at once.

     

    Now Hackett is saying he is, will be interesting to see if they actually do.

     

    I hear that. I don't recall seeing too many Reggie Bush/Pierre Thomas packages when he was under Payton in New Orleans. And I feel like Jackson and Spiller are similar in skill set to them as well. It's weird, also if I had to compare Da'Rick Rogers to any pro, it would probably be Marques Colston, too.

  5. Can we PLEASE see a lot more CJ and Freddy on the field at the same time? They are both more than capable receivers. Freddy, IMO is a very underrated lead blocker and we all know he is a devastating pass protector. I remember when CJ got drafted a lot of draft nerds said he was talented enough to be an NFL receiver. There's just so much you could do with these two beasts in terms of mismatches and misdirection. I hate to be that guy that refers to Madden, but I'd always package them on the field together and really piss off my friends, even lost a few friends from the ass whoopins and trash talking that coincided with my abilities. Anyways, Gailey commented on the Spiller/Jackson package last year, his reasoning was that you don't want to hinge too much of your playbook with the two on field, because if one got hurt, you'd lose a lot your plays.... WTF? That was about the stupidest thing I've heard him say. Ok, so let's not play two of your best players at the same time and have this awesome, creative playbook, because if they get hurt, we wouldn't be able to run those plays. Gailey...smh. I'm pumped about Marrone.

  6. Whoa, nice. We have two of the best RB tandems in the league? Sweet! We need to a package to get them all on the field at the same time! I'm jk. I'm a fan of Syracuse football and when Marrone took over, they were absolutely horrific. Treacherous. Marrone has turned around programs in the past, amd this task seems quite daunting. Best case scenario - Pettite turns this defense into a top 10 type defense and they grind with Spiller and Jackson.

  7. I kept telling people before the game, that he is a liability against the pass and that the Ravens would probably attack him. He gave up the first two passing touchdowns and possibly the 3rd. It looked as though he was supposed to have deep help on that side of the field and bit on an underneath route, which is why Jones was so wide open.

  8. Music is a taste. You can sit here and say it's crap all you want. Fact is, there are millions of people who beg to differ. But you can't argue about her talent. Anyone that says she can't sing obviously has never heard her do so. "I can't understand her. Put on some clothes."?? Sounds like my grandfolks.

  9. I would rotate Mario, Kelsay, Moore and Anderson on the D line. With of course Dareus and K Williams. Spencer Johnson and Alex Carrington have brought absolutely nothing to the team this year on Defense. And both need to be replaced after this season. (I know a lot of posters seem to hold out hope that Carrington has some upside-I personally don't see it. He is slow, unathletic, and certainly not a difference maker) And I would put Merriman somewhere on the line or at outside LB. I would have him rush the passer from the outside LB position. He is probably a little stiff and slow at this point to drop into coverage. But coming in off of the edge w Mario Anderson/Kelsay Moore and a DT makes for a nice 5 man rush. (wouldn't it be nice if we actually blitzed more than 2-3 times per game?)

     

    I agree that Carrington has been almost invisible this year. But to be fair, he did make all the difference with his partially blocked field goal attempt at Arizona in week 6. And also agreed about the blitzing. You notice good things usually happen on the plays when we do blitz?
