Sojourner

Cannot top Dez's one arm snare with a defender draped over him trying to get the ball loose. Remarkable play all around. I would argue more often than not with those two TD catches that the throw/ball placement is what makes the catch, the catch. Dez, Julio Sammy's catches are poor if not awful throws turned into big conversions. Especially given the Sammy and Dez catches set up game winners. And the catch I think you're referring to on the sideline was Julio as well. Could be argued on that one that Ryan dropped it in the bucket between coverage. Still remarkable body control.

So I just finished watching this and I am totally perplexed as to how Sammy's catch came in at #5 behind Travis Benjamin's TD winner for the Browns and Riley Cooper's catch over Janoris Jenkins (at #4 and #3 respectively). #1 and #2 are rightly ahead of that but if anything the two mentioned are run of the mill catches we see at least 10-15 times a season at a minimum... . -PS. Please don't come with the regular "Bills have to earn respect from national/mainstream media

Well next time you're between your psychology and social science classes, maybe you can keep me entertained?

Perfectly fine, you can dislike any post/s all you want. No need to low-ball over jovial sarcasm..

Speaking of Fusco, his hometown area (Butler) isn't far away from my wife's (Ellwood City). Maybe I can get the in-laws to put in a good word?

I have hopes for Richardson progressing but I am not sold on it completely. Either way we need two guards and our best option would be FA this off season. The following all have contracts ending after this season: Brandon Fusco (Who I think will resign in Minne'), Dan Connolly and Mike Iupati.

With a little tug downwards it's a gesture of "Get your breasts out" to any attractive female. Maybe EJ can be good reason for the Jills to return? Don't be so sure. Pure testosterone with this one. You know...

You're absolutely right. Morality is not even in the equation after this many years of ineptitude.

Irrelevant. It's our new QB we're talking about here...

There are no ethics in winning my friend. None whatsoever.

Like this? ...did I really just do that??? Maybe I should delete this post... Better yet...

"One last scream of happiness before the pain this Sunday."

Again, focusing on one part of the post and not the whole thing. It's cool...

I referred to him as a "second TE" twice. Was simply putting a comparison of a backup with 50+ catches - <600 yards and 5 TDs against our starting TE. Speaking of busts and Canton, doesn't he have a future HOF QB throwing him the ball?

Is that horrific game against the Bucs last season nonexistent? Not only did he snag a TD against us last season, he was (if I recall correctly) open on most plays.

Two thirds if the conditions of the SJ trade are met. Fourth if they're not. Either way we'll have four picks in the first four rounds.

If Marrone and the coaching staff get canned can we go all in for Darrell Bevell?

Hernandez wasn't exactly the most gifted blocker either and my point was simply that he is productive (whether he's an UDFA, 6th, 7th, 2nd or 1st round pick) as a second TE. His statistics were just as good last season, if not better than Chandler has had since he arrived in Buffalo. In fact, scratch that. They were better. Sure Hernandez was ahead in all facets of Wright but a "complete non-factor" is far fetched and quite the farce. I am not claiming him to be the best thing since sliced bread just that he's been productive and has the chance to be highly effective in the #2/3 role.

Firstly, he isn't far off Hernandez's ability (and we know first hand how successful he was with the Pats*). Secondly, did you watch many Bucs games at the tail end of last season? The guy is a threat and if you really believe he's a "complete non-factor" then we can only hope that you're correct and your analysis comes to complete fruition.

Pears is out the door next season and there's a few good options in FA - Fusco (Vikes), Iupati (9ers) and Connolly (Pats*). A lot of cap room to maneuver even with the resigning of two or three key players.

And that is my major concern. People have been trying to find fault with the Mankins trade but to be honest they got pretty great value for him; a 4th rounder and Tim Wright given how well their O-Line held Cinci's interior in check. Hopefully it doesn't come to it but I have a gut feeling Wright is going to be a frustration come Sunday.

Touché!

I am intrigued to hear from a Pack' fan on your thoughts of Tom Clements? Do you think he would have any success if he came back to Buffalo? Personally, if this regime fails or gets shown the door, Clements or Bevell would be my go to candidates.

So will it be 'magic' or 'miracles'?

He played well, well enough to win. But just from the broader view of perspective: With the play from our D, if he played with some "magic" it would have been a blow out. I was pleased statistically speaking with Orton but like every season our third down conversions are a serious problem. 5 of the failed 11 could have turned out differently especially the one after the two minute warning in the second, and the one with just under 4 minutes left in the fourth. But hey! A win is a win, right? Right.
