Time To Kill had some of THE BEST quotes out of any game I've ever played in it. "Suck my boom stick." "Rubba dub dub, get outta the tub." etc.

Good signing. Looking forward to see what he can do with these guys. Maybe he will be coaching up Edwards for awhile. Maybe he will take over for him if we give up 8 more 200yd rushing games.

Doooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed

Hey youngsters, you may want to consult with your older brother or a cousin or something before making a bold statement like that...
My brother still has that one. He's got some pretty good ones with the Bills on the cover.

Our Big Board has these as our Top 10 right now, before the Underwear Olympics:
Rnk Player College Ht Wt Position1 Position2 P2Difference RecentChange
1 Nick Fairley Auburn 6'4" 298 DE34 DT43 0 +1
2 Prince Amukamara Nebraska 6'1" 205 CB +1
3 Da'Quan Bowers Clemson 6'4" 278 DE43 DE34 -8 +2
4 Patrick Peterson LSU 6'1" 211 FS CB 0 +2
5 A.J. Green Georgia 6'4" 205 WRF +5
6 Cameron Jordan California 6'4" 285 DE43 DE34 -5 +2
7 Robert Quinn North Carolina 6'5" 268 OLB34 DE43 -7 +2
8 Marcell Dareus Alabama 6'3" 306 DT43 DE34 -52 -4
9 Mark Ingram Alabama 5'10" 215 RBF -2
10 J.J. Watt Wisconsin 6'6" 285 DE34 DE43 -4 +6
Dareus is rated #8 overall. Notice that Bowers drops 8 slots when he's considered as a DE in a 3-4 as opposed to a 4-3. Dareus drops 52 slots (which is too much) when he's considered as a DE34. This is why I'm beginning to change my mind about who the Bills might take. I was in the Dareus camp right away, but I'm willing to say I need to be more open-minded.
I'm not really for or against trading down but a guy like Cam Heyward (6'5" 292) has got close to the same size as Dareus (6"3" 306). What is the difference in the caliber of these guys? I've seen Heyward get handled a few times but I've also seen him do the same thing to other. I cant say I've seen to much of Dareus other than the picksix in last years BCS game.

Exactly. The Broncos became a cluster fu*k. Cutler/Marshall/Scheffler/alphonso smith. They cut off their nose to spite their face. This wasn't the Chargers who had a franchise qb to replace a franchise qb. The broncos screwed the pooch. Cutler benfited going to a better organization, and has had his first winning season since highschool. So good for him. Sure wish the Bills would've been the team who originaly drafted/traded for him though.
P.s- With the Broncos hiring of John Fox, and a possible switch to the 4-3, maybe they'll look to trade Dumervil, and continue their cycle of getting rid of elite level players.
The Broncos didnt want Peyton Hillis either. Good call on that one.

Why complain about the cold? Its not like its a winter wonderland in Buffalo from September through November. Not to mention that one of the Bills home games is played in a dome in TO and not to mention the 8 road games the Bills play. So even if he is drafted by a team in a warm climate, he will end up playing in the cold on road games. There is no escaping it
I'll never understand athletes feeling like this. I have to go out in the cold for 3 hours!!! And sit on heated benches!!! Oh no I have to go to Miami every year!!! Playing the game I grew up loving.... And get paid millions of dollars for it!!!
Can we get a Kleenex emoticon?

One word: motivation! The Carolina Peppers was a dud when he left. You can sign talent but you can't make someone use their talent. It's up to that player.
I just made the same point in another thread about Bruce Smith. Someone refereed to him as sure-thing when he was drafted but they totally forgot how fat and lazy Bruce was his rookie season.
The player had to decide to play.
PTR
Spot on. He was turning into a Haynesworth type guy (lack of effort) on the Panthers. I imagine if Delhomme stayed healthy and productive and they kept winning it would've been different for him. Much like LT though, I hope the guy gets a ring.
And, was it that Bruce was fat and lazy or was he just hitting the bottle a little too much?
-
Living in NC, I've watched the guy play a few times and when he left I had no doubt the Bears were making a good signing. On another note, I wont say that Steve Smith would put the next team he plays for in the playoffs, but I hope he gets out of there and gets onto a contender because when he's healthy he's dynamite.

Trash talk backed up. I do like seeing the Pats lose, and this interview was pretty classic. But not as classic and this....
-
Bring back the Marlboro ad and the old endzones.
I got to walk through the suites, locker room, practice field, on the field, and the front office area a few years back. I was more than impressed with everything in there. Maybe i'm biased, but looking up at the seats from the field was probably one of the top five greatest sights I've witnessed.
-
I'm all for these guys talking a little trash. The bulletin board deal, lame duck theory if you ask me. If you let some smack talking get in the way of your game then you should work on being a "professional" athlete. First off, you know these guys are jaw jacking on the field the entire game, its just not publicized so we don't get whats probably some good cracks and cut downs from these guys. Secondly, its the playoffs against a rival, have some emotion and put it on the line. Third and final, I hate the Jets less than the Pats so I for one hope they kick the piss out of Mr. Bundchen & Co and then lose after that. Oh yeah, I don't know about you but I will be rooting for the Seahawks, I'd like to see the Superbowl winners do that with a losing regular season record. There would be seismic activity at TBD.

It sounds as if a lot of people are laughing at the Bills. ESPN went out of their way to rip the Bills on the Lynch play. They said something to the point of the former Bills RB Marshawn Lynch scores a game winning TD for the Seahawks as the Bills watch from home etc. etc....It's like a welcoming party for everyone who wants to rip the Bills organization and put them in their place...?
Is it a fact that Lynch is the former Bills running back? Does he currently play for the Seashawks? Are the Bills watching from home. Yes, yes, and yes. Who the hell cares, he was here and he no longer is. I liked beastmode myself, but we went in a different direction, get over it. Do you really think that a multi-million dollar corporation (ESPN) is concerned about taking shots at the Bills... Probably not so much. Do/Did they talk like this with every other team in every other sport that sucks like we have, again the answer is yes. Can we get a emoticon that is pulling out a Kleenex and giving it to another emoticon?
-
Its nice of the insiders to talk about this after Lynch kills the Saints near the end of the wildcard game... womp womp wahhhhhhh. Sucks for you Saints, have fun golfing with the rest of the Bills that weren't traded.
-
What's the matter TBD people? Haven't you seen a troll before?
This guy is out to get attention. He's not the government. He's not a school district. He's just some dumb tool. Well, congrats that the media and others for feeding him.
Now, please debate the God Hates Fags people. Or Al Sharpton. Or Paris Hilton.
What about the Middle School Basketball Coach and School District being sue by a kids parents for not allowing him to play on the team because of his long hair?
-
The bottom line is that stats don't matter, winning does. Sure they look nice, but I would rather be 16-0 with the worst ranks in every category than be 0-16 and be close to the top. Not saying that winning year in/year out and breaking records wouldn't be nice too. I like Fitz as the short term answer at QB and I've thought that since last year. But eventually when "the franchise guy" is there, that will be the sign of The Beards last year in Buffalo.
On a side note, Sucks for the Jags... Win and you're in and you lose Garrard and MJD. Trent, they've got to love you in Florida.
-
Really he wins football games? Then why has he been benched for 80 Year old Kerry Collins in Tennessee?? If he's such a winner how come they don't keep him and fire Jeff Fisher??? Yeah Sounds like a winner...
Because according to Sports Illustrated when Collins was drafted, he was the next Troy Aikman

OK, not that there's anything wrong with that.
At my house, its a constant battle. I put it on over the top, she put its through the back. I tried to convert her but have failed.
I hate when my wife uses her coupons to get one ply. Nothing worse than breakthroughs with paperwork.
I prefer AngelSoft.
I don't care what kind gets bought really, just as long as there is no breakage. I know if I make a suggestion then I'm going to be the one doing the shopping. Is there a "Yes Dear" emoticon?
Scotts usually what in the can. But the Angel Soft isn't bad.

I think its really petty. I'm not to sure where "!@#$" and "Slave" are synonymous either. As for Injun and Halfbreed I personally think its a load. Maybe the foreword of the book should explain these three words, their origins and give some insight to readers. But wait a second... we don't need to learn from reading, we need to be more ignorant than the idea of changing one of the greatest books of all time. I am glad my book collection is one of a decent size because I don't want my son growing up reading the watered down version of things.

Would this lower or raise the value of the top 10 picks? The argument can go both way. Why would teams spend the cash to pickup a player this year when next year the contracts for the 2012 rookies is going to be way less? But, it might bring more talent into the draft this year raising the picks value. Is there even football next year?
Oh offseason.... -
3. Don't draft any players who haven't played at least 2 years of college ball.
I think that's big. Back in the day, the Bills would often draft small-school players who would be successful in the NFL, and the indicator of future success was 3 or 4 years of solid performance in college. I don't know why the Bills seem to get blinded by these guys who have one solid season, and next thing you know, they are being declared a future hall-of-famer without having played a down in the NFL. Give me a guy who has been solid all the way through college any day...
I don't care if they're big or small school guys, I'd just like to see us stay away from one year wonders. That and undersized one year wonders. And after watching this run d all year, I wouldn't mind seeing us pick up two stout DTs and just running a 3 DT line maybe then we can just form a collapsing blob around the pocket.

He sounded sincere and like a decent guy not like the jerkoff party animal we've heard of. He didnt seem to have any issues w/living in WNY part of the year and already bought a house.....
He isn't in Cali. anymore. Can't beat up porn/reality stars at D&B's or Applebees
-
I dont blame him. A "out there" owner and 6 coaches in 10 years will make a player feel like that. I can't say I blame him, but if its so bad for you, go punt somewhere else; I'm sure better teams would like you on the roster. Now if Davis brought coach back because of what the punter said...

The Redskins helmet would be pretty cool on the KC or WSH unis... Or any college program with an American Indian or Native American mascot.
I think terrorists are planning to poison our water supply
