  1. At this point the OL in a perfect world would have developed chemistry where because they have played together enough they not only make the same calls when they see how the opposing team is addressing the play they called, but they know how their teammates on the OL and entire O are likely to react. This is called chemistry.

     

    Not only would the addition of a possible (if not likely) starting talent would actually be a setback for this team for awhile (2 games, 6 games, 10 games, season) that it makes little sense in terms simply on field performance.

     

    AND then you add to this the off-field disruption as the entire team needs to decide how they are going to react and interact and simply find out the truth about what happened in Miami.

     

    AND then you add to this the uncertainty of what the impact of the year off (positive or negative or both) the year off has had on Incognito as a player.

     

    In general, a pick-up of Incognito now would essentially be an admission by Merrone et al. that he is pretty confident that their current players cannot cut it. Essentially this pretty much writes off the season before it starts and draws into serious question the first season of team building by Merrone/Whaley.

     

    Can someone describe to me how this is even supposed to make things better?

    Great post. You changed my mind on the topic :thumbsup:

  2. Hey guys im not sure where to put this so mods please feel free to move this if needed. My girlfriend and I are going to make the voyage down to Miami for the Thursday night game. Does anyone know of any Bills Backer Bars down there that we can go to, looking for something to do the night before the game? Also, if you have been to Sunlife Stadium and have any suggestions of other things to do down there that would be great! It will be my first away game and im really excited! Thanks everyone

  3. My advice....just because I had to watch an athlete struggle through this.......

     

    - The first biggest thing I saw when my son tore his ACL before his senior season........denial. Athletes by nature think they can will themselves through injuries.......first they dont want to beleive it...then when the MRI is confirmed....twice.....they want to believe that THEIR timeline of recovery will allow them to return to still be able to play while they are still relevent to the season. There were LITERALLY fights in my house because the first MRI was inconclusive and I wanted a second one before I would sign the authorization papers to play.....when the second one came in I refused to sign.........so the first thing is denial.

     

    - Then there is the sergury.....and let me tell u what this is no cakewalk........they come out of the surgury and they have to be wheelchaired around (athletes HATE this) and waited on.......they have to keep cold on it for several days......stay off their feet....elevate.....and keep careful watch for infection. They have to take modified showers......they cant do anything they are used to doing.....their food is brought to them.....its hard to sleep.......it requires patience on the part of the athlete

     

    - Bordom......then there is the long wait before rehab can begin.........and during this time this is when the depression usually sets in.....to go from having visits to the house from colleges to those same people walking away.....moving onto the next guy.......realizing that an opportunity has passed.......and you sit there and live it all with them.

     

    - Then the time finally comes for physical therapy.....and by this time they are all frustrated because they have lost all the strength and size they worked so hard to biuld.........and of course the knee is painful......swells because of the activity.......is weak as all heck.......and the PT people cant make the healing go any faster........

     

    - Then more time goes by.....now the knee is healed......but it is discovered that another scope is needed becuase of cartilage issues......which further delays things....rinse and repeat the steps above......

     

    - OK.....now the leg is ready to start rebiulding all that strength, flexibility, and speed that it once had....but guess what? A lot of time has passed and the going is slow.....very slow......but you keep at it.....every day....you have to be reminded not to do too much or you could set yourself back....you dont want to listen you want to be well now.....but the fact is that the body will only heal on its own time.....and that is THAT

     

    Jesus I could go on and on with this nightmare. I just hope Kiko is not rushed back.......make sure that knee has healed STRONGER then it was before and dont let him back until it is guaranteed 100 percent.

    Great post. Alot of things going on that you normally dont hear or think about. I got frustrated just reading this. Hope he can come back 100%

  4. That admittedly went a bit over my head... so, based on this do you think he was using it as PST or do you think his story is true?

     

    Kind of sad if this is indeed the case that he would use his mom's illness to try and cover up steroid use. Oy.

     

    There is zero doubt in my mind he was using this as PCT (post cycle therapy). Anybody who has ever taken steroids will tell you this!!!

  5. This fool (me of course) thought that Aaron Murray would be drafted in round 2. So, as per our bet, here goes...

     

    I know nothing about the NFL Draft. If you have any questions, do contact CBiscuit97.

     

    It's better than losing money :)

     

    PS: I wish that we would have drafted Murray or McCarron, but read the above. :)

    Huge props for manning up. Honestly, I forgot so well on you. Even though we disagree (a lot :) ), I always respected the discussion.

     

    I like Murray. I would have taken him in the 4th or later. But I just thought this entire Qb was completely overrated and got so sick about hearing about it all offseason. Apparently, most NFL GMs agreed with. The only one to go higher than EJ was a guy who essentially had the same stats and combine #s as EJ (EJ was than better Bortles in most categories).

     

    We have no idea how any of these QBs will turn out, but EJ has as good of a chance as any of them IMO. But much respect Bill. :beer:

     

     

     

    I think he's only been there once in his career so he's not even good enough to get you there.

     

     

     

    Mettenberger is whatever and he played with a very good supporting cast. Boyd is this year's Tory Smith. It's amazing how many of these QBs were 1st rounders and didn't go until the 4th or later.

    Been lurking here for years. I dont post alot, but this is why im always here. :thumbsup: Way to keep it classy guys..... and this was hilarious as well!

  6. Marijuana is better than using opiates and it is useful for a lot of other ailments. I usually don't like to speak about my drug use on here but since so many of you are ignorant I will. I have PTSD, I have life long physical ailments, and I do not want to take the drugs from the VA to treat them because of their personality changing and addictive attributes. I use marijuana based medicine and my life is 100% better than the alternatives.

    Great for you! I think most people were raised with a lot of misinformation out there. It blows my mind that people think opiates come from a doctor so it must be safer than burning one (or even better using edibles or a vaporizer).

  7. let's not rush to judgment and assume this is bad. it's entirely possible he was just arrested for something like...speeding. because he was late for a meeting with marrone. and he didn't want to get suspended for the first half of our first preseason game.

     

    when you think about it that way, it actually reveals a lot of maturity and personal growth on his part. i'm proud of the kid.

    lol no marrone is in buffalo at a WCW or fake wrestling event tonight.... i saw a picture of him up with a dude from a local radio station
