Very much this. And....if they can pressure QB,s it really makes the DB's jobs a whole lot easier. I for one am really looking forward to our defense with Pettine at the helm. Wont be surprised one bit if we are in the top 3rd defenses in the NFL......this year and beyond. I hope he spends a lot of time watching film of the Giants defense against the Patriots. The Giants seem to pressure Brady well. He becomes an entirely different QB when the pressure is on, even gets rattled...and frustrated at times.

Remember George well. Had his card back in the day. That Super bowl game when they beat Baltimore 16-7 solidified my passion for the game of football. RIP George.

You just couldn't ask for a better start to a story book season. Getting thrown right into the fire week 1 at home. Against the mighty Patriots. This is gonna be great. If...by some act of God we win this game,,,,oh my....where could it go from there. Huge game with potential playoff implications week one. I want to see New England play an outstanding game week one......in a losing cause.... and I dont want to see ANYONE from EITHER team get injured. I'd rather see us beat the best of the best when they are at full strength. Kul-aid is a great drug and I aint quitting any time soon !! jb

Thanks ! I have no choice but to be optimistic. Its going to be a fun ride with this bunch.

I am so done with this team !!!

Maybe true ? Lets not forget Bill Belichick, Don Shula, Dick Vermeil and probably several others that have done quite well. Its hard to find any real correlation between NFL success of retreads vs. fresh college hires. I'm sure its out there somewhere. I think I'm pretty satisfied with our HC hiring even though we haven't played a down yet. He seems to have put a pretty good staff around him and brought in what should be some pretty good flexible players. These guys might just surprise us this year. Man I sure hope so !

Week one, Brady is gonna flip out against a stout defense.

Thanks man. I never put those two together. Never knew thats where the "drink the Kul-aid" saying came from. I probably should know this but honestly I didnt. Again...many thanks. jb

LOL !! Video gave me a good chuckle. And.....yes..."negatron" ......thats the word ! I knew it didn't sound right when I typed it. Many thanks for that correction !!!! jb

Sounds like the conversations I have with my son, who's let himself be ruined by the performance of the last decade plus. His 1st game he remembers was the music city miracle. That play has turned him into a nega-ton. (new word). Totally with ya, Owen. Call it Kul-aid, call it what ya will I really dont care but I'm as upbeat as I've been in quite a while with the developments of the last 4 months. We may surprise the league as soon as this year. This years team...win or lose is gonna be a blast to watch. I cant damn wait ! jb

After watching the video I think we made a bad pick !! Stop...Stop...Stop...Stop... Just messin witcha, fellas. Hard not to like this kid....PERIOD. Go Bills !!

Thanks Chan. That was a great read. jb

Awe crap ! I'm having a bad day. LOL !!

I "think" the wildcat will end up being a short lived little used fad going forward. Personally I was never much of a fan of that play. Its 3rd and 1...Brad Smith lines up at QB. The whole world knows what the play is gonna be. Result: 1 yard and a cloud of dust. It has been used with some success admittedly. It doesn't make for very interesting watching...from a fans' perspective. In my opinion, of course.

Well, you did say earlier "He is better then most QBs!" Which kind of implies you think he's better than most QB's. Not that Its any big deal to me ...or anything like that. Might have been a good idea to say the TE ..wildcat stuff early on.

I'm hearing a lot of fans and analysts saying Buffalo should make EJ the day 1 starter. Is it not premature to make a statement like that? The kid needs to go thru training camp, learn the system, get reps. Same with Kolb and TJ It seems obvious to me that you just cant say throw him into the fire when he hasn't even been assigned his locker yet. Let the process play out. After week 4 of the preseason is when that assessment / opinion can be made. Some of these radio guys are killing me today. Needed to vent a little !!

True. They waited in hopes of getting "something" for him. Like, maybe a rd #7 pick. Thats why they waited. Tebow will probably end up somewhere. They were saying on the network that the Patriots were a team that has shown some interest. I reckon Belle-cheat could design a gadget or two with him on the roster. jb

Not sure what he was in trouble for. If I'm a betting man, I say it wasn't for splitting atoms in his spare time. He looks like helluva player though. Lets hope he's a good one for us.

Boloney ! We're looking to you to fill Aaron Corps' roster spot. Buddy: Git r done !! LOL ! jb

Agree. Similarly interesting was his comments regarding the two safeties selected. He commented on differences of their skill sets, and how they both fit in schematically. He also said it had nothing to do with Byrd, and they would have done the same thing even if Byrd was in min- camp.

Thanks. EDIT: That was interesting.

Its hard to say if EJ will be ready week one. He'll have to have a very strong training camp and a solid pre-season to be the starter right off the bat. I'd guess Kolb will start the season for Buffalo. Buffalo is going to have a very different roster this year. It'll take time for this bunch to gel...I think? The 2nd half of the season will be interesting. This is where I hope we begin seeing the fruits of our labor. The signs that we are on a good path. I am guessing our offense will be inconsistent....and I am guessing our defense will be much improved. Having Pettine as our DC bodes well for us since he has a lot of experience against the Patriots. That week one match-up against New England. A must watch game. We're getting thrown right into the fire week one. Looking forward to it ! NE wins division at 10-6 Miami / Buffalo duke it out for 2nd 9-7 or 8-8 I suppose Jets get basement duty at 6-10 My early thoughts / guess. jb

I really don't see where he'd fit in with us at this point in time. I agree with you though. I hope he gets a shot somewhere. He is a winner. No question about that whatsoever.

Sounds right. From what I understand he was due 8.2 mil from Miami had he remained on their roster. I'm guessing Buffalo would sign him for maybe...a two year 9 mil deal...maybe? Who knows, but it must have been less than Karlos is wanting to fetch. Good for Nix I suppose, not over-paying beyond the perceived value. jb

Very interesting. Thank you sir. You guys are all over this stuff. I really appreciate the info on my team you all provide. Many thanks! I havent felt this good about an off-season in quite a while. jb
