  1. Maybe I just haven't noticed in past seasons, but this year seems to be taking a harder than normal toll on starting QBs in the NFL. Injuries have forced 11 teams to use 2 QBs to start games, while 5 of those have had to start 3 different QBs. And we are only about two thirds of the way through the regular season.

     

    BUF: Manuel, Lewis, Tuel

     

    CLE: Weeden, Hoyer, Campbell

     

    GBY: Rodgers, Wallace, Tolzien (named next weeks starter already)

     

    MIN: Ponder, Cassel, Freeman

     

    PHI: Vick, Foles, Barkley

     

    TEN: Locker, Fitzpatrick

     

    HOU: Schaub, Keenum

     

    JAC: Gabbert, Henne

     

    Oak: Pryor, Flynn

     

    CHI: Cutler, McCown

     

    STL: Bradford, Clemons

  2. For the people-- mostly dolphin players-- blaming Martin, what are they blaming him for? Sounded like he left pretty quietly. I am not sure how the texts were leaked, but if they were by Martina's camp, it was likely in response to Miami making a false statement that Martin was dealing with an illness, implying the guy was like Barrett robins.

     

    I am assuming this was a typo, but this may very well be what a lot of Dolphins players are calling him.

  3. This story gets deeper every day. Now, Ireland (the Dolphins GM) was possible aware of the situation and his alleged response was for Martin to physically confront Incognito.

    Can't wait for tomorrows episode when it gets revealed that Gloria Estefan visited Martin in the hospital and was screaming at him to "Man the #$%^ up!" while squeezing his nuts in a vise-grip.

  4. 1) I like Robey more and more every week. He made a great play on that 3rd and 3 to hold the Chiefs to a field goal in the 2nd quarter. This kid is a keeper, and they need to sign him for a few years.

     

    He is signed through 2015. http://www.overtheca...n=CB&Team=Bills

     

    Also, how in the world do you include pretentious lyrics, yet ignore TJ Graham's continued ineptitude today?

  5. Is this a serious question? EJ has won two meaningful NFL games. Thad has won one. Flynn won a meaningless end of season game, and Tuel hasn't done anything except soil himself on national TV.

     

    "Meaningful" and "big" are not the same thing. Almost every NFL game is "meaningful", even after a team is out of play off contention (coaches can evaluate talent, newer players get game experience, players who haven't gotten a chance before may be able to show they can play, etc).

     

    All 3 wins are against teams that are suspect themselves. The games were meaningful, but they were not big. Miami has lost 4 in a row now. Baltimore has only beaten the Browns, Texans, and Dolphins. Carolina has 4 wins, but against teams that have a combined 6 wins between all 4 of them. Miami was the biggest game so far (on the road and in their division), but Miami is not a good team. Big games are against good teams and the Bills haven't beaten a proven good team...until this Sunday.

  6. I imagine that this article title is a little misleading and is an example of yet more sloppy journalism/editting in this country. It was more than likely hacked to point to a porn site by a 3rd party, rather than hacked by the porn site itself.

     

    But then again, in this day and age, people brag about breaking the law on Twitter and Facebook and stupidity is becoming the norm.

  7. Who is taking Ross' spot on the roster? Streeter?

     

    I think I figured it out.

     

    Dixon is going to be brought up to fill the vacant roster spot. The Bills are going to employ a new version of the wishbone, with Tuel at QB, and Lewis, Flynn, and Dixon all in the backfield, spread out and lined up 5 yards behind Tuel. Tuel takes the snap and pitches to one of the other QBs to throw it down the field. KC is never going to know where to send the blitz. They keep tossing it to each other, behind the line of scrimmage until one of the 2 RBs/WRs get open.

     

    Bills 77 - KC 13. Hackett looks like a genius and is hired as Green Bays head coach next year.

  8.  

    2) Thad Lewis was exposed today.

     

    How exactly does a #4 QB get exposed? If anything, it's amazing that the Bills are getting the quality of play from him that they are. Here is a guy that 32 teams didn't even deem worthy to be a #2 QB in the league, which made him at the very most tied for being the 65th best NFL QB prospect (it's actually even lower, considering some teams had 3 QBs on their opening day roster).

     

    Thad was the fourth sting QB and considering that he is playing amazing. He has definitely showed enough to be a #2 somewhere after EJ comes back.

  9.  

    The words, "Over Coaching" come to mind here, just kick it through the end zone make them have to earn every inch.

     

     

    I'm not arguing with getting rid of Crossman, but Carpenter has proven he does not have the leg to do this consistently. Buffalo is in the lower portion of the league for kickoff touchbacks. Don't you think he would be asked to do this every time if he could manage it?

  10. Rewind to 2011 when Clabo used an offer by the Bills to leverage an even better deal from Atlanta (can't fault him for this!). Clabo later gets cut by Atlanta in the 2013 off season. He signs a 1 year deal with Miami this year. He gets abused by Mario Williams in the 4th quarter today, giving up 2 sacks, 1 of which was the key turnover to put the Bills ahead.

     

    Would he have been a good addition to the Bills in 2011? Perhaps. Today, however, I am glad he wasn't signed because the Bills don't win this game without him.

  11. Right, he doesn't bother me at all.... I like his insight on the team when he is on WGR on Mondays and his contributions to the website. He releases the official info from the team, without providing opinion,but people just need to know who signs his checks so you aren't going to get much criticism of the team or rumors.

     

    I never mentioned a thing about opinions or rumors, nor said that he bothered me (to address Buftex comment). And of course his paycheck comes from the Bills. I am talking about confirmation of simple facts. In case you need a further example, it was a Philly beat writer who broke the Colin Brown release. The Bills need to throw Brown (the reporter) a bone once in awhile.

  12. What's the purpose of this guy? His title claims he is the "Lead Journalist" of the official Buffalo Bills website, yet I don't think he has ever once broken a story. It seems like he just searches the web to find what info has been found out by other sources, then writes a piece around it. He seems to be much more damage control than journalist.

     

    Here's a recent example:

    http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2013/10/13/report-fa-qb-matt-flynn-in-buffalo/

     

    He sites a tweet from someone else who was at the airport when Matt Flynn landed. Brown doesn't add a single thing in his article to even suggest that Flynn is there for a workout with the Bills. Per Brown, "Reports of free agent QB Matt Flynn’s presence in Buffalo is fueling speculation that the Bills are looking for more alternatives at the position."

     

    Of course, they aren't going to include a journalist in any personnel discussions, but to keep a leash on him even after info is out there seems to lessen any credibility an official team reporter has. To not let him even affirm that Flynn was in for a workout?

     

    I guess you do have to hand it to the front office, as it appears they are pretty good at keeping their intentions secret.

  13. Ouch Thomas Welch is the swing tackle right now.....scary times folks......Anyone have any info on Chris Hairston's status? I'm guessing the hip could be career threatening if it is still giving him trouble..... :(

     

    Hairston was placed on the Reserve/Non-Football Illness list before the season and was done for the year at that time.

  14. so this was a good year...we made it until October 3rd! Only 21% of teams that start the year 2-3 make the playoffs. :-(

     

    Perception does not always equal reality. Out of the last 6 years, 2010 was the only year the season was over before October.

     

    2012: On 10/14/12 the Bills were 3-3.

    2011: On 10/30/11 the Bills were 5-2.

    2010: Bills started out 0-8.

    2009: On 10/25/09 the Bills were 3-4.

    2008: On 10/19/08 the Bills were 5-1.

    2007: On 11/11/07 the Bills were 5-4.

  15. It's kinda of hard to doubt this right now. They are in a division that isn't that great and they have a really good D. I'm happy for Fitz and hopes he plays well.

     

    It's hilarious that some folks called him a loser last year. That loser from Harvard is going to start for his 4th NFL team.

     

    How many winning NFL QBs start for 4 different NFL teams?

     

    I have nothing against Fitz and had high hopes when he got a contract extension with the Bills...then reality kicked in and there were a bunch of Sundays spent watching a QB who couldn't even pretend to throw over 15 yards. I truly feel bad for Titans fans, of a promising team, who now have to endure what we saw for much to long.
