  1. When I lived in northern Virginia there was a bar/restaurant that was a bills bar. The owner actually would bring in wreck buns. It's called grevey's. It's along route 50 in a Safeway lot just outside the beltway near a hospital.
  2. Where I live i get Comcast. NFL Network is not on standard cable...you need to sports package to get it along with Redzone, NHL network, NBA network, MLB network, and other sports stations.
  3. For Thursday night games they set the schedule up so every team is on once. 15 weeks of games with a total f 17 games....if you eliminate the years opener that is 16 games with each appearing once. The nfl is trying to market it's own network to get it on the lower tier of cable. The local markets aren't locked out of games but secondaries are which shouldn't be the case. As a result of their onstraints of having every team you get some duds for games. Many of these game on wouldn't have made it anywhere but the traditional packets. Why do you not get nfl network...ask your cable company?
  4. I wonder if they take the clip of it wrap it round a loop and show it to John Potter on why he is on this team.....
  5. I think Easley and Brooks are activated around the same time to the Bills roster after the bye week and become significant factors in road games at Houston and New England.
  6. The issue are....... 1. questionable evidence....couldnt you suspend many more players not on the saints for having some sort of pool/kitty for hitting the QB or a big hit?? Lynching the Saints over this 2. Legality of the evidence collected 3. The commissioner was not objective 4. They didnt reveal all of their evidence which a practice by a District Attorney could make them disbarred. 5. The intent to injure was not proven.
  7. The order f how games are decided.... 1. Local team in primary/secondary/traditional markets 2. If not your team then a division rival. Most casual bills fans know who buffalos division rivals are and that's it. 3. Local connection to the game. It's common for high round draft pick, rookie starters, and now starters at qb, rb, wr to be picked up by their local college markets or home markets. 4. Get a look at a high profile rookie player...look for many markets to get a game involving Andrew luck and RG3. On #3.... In the past Austin has aired Cleveland games because of colt McCoy. Knoxville would air Houston because Arian foster played for Tennessee...Boise would pick up jets games because the rookie starting cb played the prior year for Boise state. Lincoln NE taking Detroit games because of Suh, Birmingham airing Carolina because of cam newton. Can't recall what college it was but the high draft pick of KC Eric berry was picked up by his college town. The bay area is airing Indy games. Chico California when the can will air green bay games when it can because Aaron Rodgers was from Chico and went to cal. Look at the schedule...the same week buffalo is at San Fran and oakland is off is the week Aaron Rodgers visits Andrew luck at 1pm....thus allowing northern California to see it. Where I live in Seattle last year they aired quite a few titans ganes because Matt hasselback was the starting qb. They will do it gain this year because the titans qb now being jake locker was born and raised in the Seattle market and went to the univ of Washington. They have to be high profile positions or starting rookies.
  8. While the idea of generic v market is true that isnt entirely the case. In Wyoming, Nebraska, and Kansas local cable companies are opened on operated by Denver. It's cheaper or them and easier to just feed them Denver. Under the various laws governing the FCC...if you are in a local market DMA. Some f these DMAs have been hijacked because Denver cable was already established when the laws changed. Before these were not affiliated counties. Some of these counties like the ones in norther Nebraska should be with Cheyenne, Casper, or rapid city. The SE corner is a rural fit to Denver because Denver radio can easily be picked up there. The one in northern Wyoming should be rapid ity or billings...not Denver. The NE in Nevada hold be Reno or salt like. Same issue with thE corner county n Kansas that is green...cable brings in witchita/dodge city while satelite brings Amarillo. The creator of the site is using satellite coverage...not cable. Actually area 51 is to the south near Nellie AFB about 2 hrs from Vegas.....ssssshhhhhhhhh......
  9. It's is used by directtv and dish because f their signal for these remote location. Cable tv n towns provide different tv coverage of loser markets. That blip in Nevada is a county that is split. North gets Reno stations, south gets salt lake city. Then satelite brings in Denver. 1. Andrew luck..... 2. No Pittsburgh or Baltimore available 3. NFC market so this is a game with NFC team 4. The norfolk, Virginia beach area is a large retirement area where you get quite a few Midwestern transplants so they grew up bears lovers or haters. 5. Andrew luck...
  10. Yes...the equally screwed each team out of non-calls.
  11. why work him out ???? Plax is still available
  12. After you sgn a contract now on I believe it's in not guarentted for the year...thus the player get a per game heck until they are released.
  13. AFC EAST: New England AFC NORTH: Baltimore AFC SOUTH: Houston AFC WEST: Denver WILCARD 1: Buffalo WILDCARD 2: San Diego NFC EAST: Philadelphia NFC NORTH: Green Bay NFC SOUTH: Atlanta NFC WEST: San Francsico WILCARD 1: Detroit WILDCARD 2: Chicago superbowl AFC: Houston NFC: Philadelphia WINNER: Houston :
  14. Actually...no....if they saw the kid as more of a project but with an upside you release him very early teams think he must suck so not contact him. Then you can get him to your PS.
  15. For the game of the 53...only 46 can dress (46th being a 3rd QB). That means 7 dont dress for the game.... Which 7 do you think? i guess: 1. QB Jackson 2. LB White 3. RB Choice 4. OT Young 5. CB Brooks (or his roster replacement if on IR) 6 .LB Morrison 7. FS Howell
  16. The other aspect of this....you can only dress 45 of the 53 for the game. (plus a 46th emergency QB).....Bradham will be dressed for his special teams play. Its possible they dont dress Morrison if he doesnt play special teams.
  17. I think just like with the D-line they want to set up a rotation system with the LBs.
  18. They will likely find a CB to sign ...Youbody is out there. When TJ is up to spead and they cut Thigpen they add another WR.....unless there is an issue with short term injuries at a position.
  19. Interesting conspiracy theory http://bleacherrepor...buffalos-roster The idea that Chan basically buried Easley in order to get him on the PS this season. Which is similar to what was done with Jasper last season....he was listed as a DT but then he flips to an OL on the PS. Going into last season he was slated as the #2 WR. Given his heart condition and the uncertainty Gailey wants to ease him back intot he game.
  20. Not necessarily true....If you had 4 very good running backs do you keep all 4---no. It has to do with depth at the position. The Bills OL had locked in 7 spots locked in on the team going into camp. That means only 1-2 roster spots for grabs going into camp. Had Asper been a 1st-4th round pick he makes the 53 man roster. For the linebackers...they would have at most 7 spots of which 5 were locked going into camp. 1-2 jobs were available. They basically set their roster up by saying for each position there is also a backup player there....11 positions on each...so 44 players....then you have the 3 ST players for 47....that means 6 roster spots left over....normal depth rules say 3 on offense and 3 on defense. You try and guess who you can get to the PS and who you cant.
  21. They didnt pass on Tank.....Tank and Asper had to clear league wide waivers to make make it on to the PS. They DID NOT..Minnesota and Cleveland claimed them. Had they cleared both would have been on the PS. Teams that claim the players off waivers means they are on their final 53---not their PS. If they were on their PS Buffalo can go out and claim them on their 53 man roster without compensation. Its likely when they cut Thigpen one of the WRs cut comes back. Teams know who was drafted by other teams and had their info on. You cut your picks teams are looking to get them. Minnesota saw Asper in the game Buffalo played at Minnesota. They probably liked what they saw in him on that day.
  22. Actually it's rare...very rare for a 5th or below draft pick to be something special that you can't replace with a simlar pick in the future. Most of the time they are serviceable players who can easily be replaced...all pros...no. When you are drafting 5th and below alot of it is based on need f the individual team...not best player available. When you get to the 5th or later there really isn't a significant difference on paper...it just depends on luck and them matching your system. So going into the draft ths past year....their glaring needs was OT, LB, and CB.......the rest was looked at more adding depth at other positions. That part of the reason the patriots have gotten picks. They isn't have glaring needs so instead of wasting picks n players not going to make the team due to depth...instead push the pick to the ollowng year in case you need depth then
  23. I said this was a possibility n another head...either the cut and then resign hm or the negotiate a pay cut for hm to stay.
  24. Gaughn is reporting asper will be n the PS.
  25. This is the kid not the dad...I think he is still in his late 20s.
