  1. The key was getting the 1st down. Not staying in bounds.
  2. My god what a bust. Hes getting to the point of being mentioned with the other top five non quarterback position player busts of all time. And to think, he cost the drafting team more than just using the 4th overall pick on him. Criminal!!
  3. There are many reasons hes held to a higher standard. But being black is a mixed bag, I think. I appreciate his input, but the quotes I read above are his excuses. And he doesnt have the talent to overcome said or unsaid excuses like that. Hes not doing himself, the Bills, or black quarterbacks any favors at all by putting it out there.
  4. He shouldve been siting next to me and my pops. I drag my dad all the way from LA County. Our seats are behind the endzone and a little to the right of the left upright, if youre looking at the field. Maybe 10 rows up. There was a big wall in the endzone at the Murph. Do you remember what happened at the end? I do...because the ball was kicked right at me. Chip shot. Wide left. Bills lose. That was my second ever Bills game. The first was during the Super Bowl years. They lost to the Raiders in the Coleseum, 24-3, think. Then I watched them lose to the Chargers a few more times...once when Rob had a decent game, but threw a pick late to seal it for the Bolts. Also traveled to the Big Toaster to see a 4-0 Bills squad with Trent Edwards at the helm get crushed by a Super Bowl Cardinals machine. Again, a perfect view, this time of Edwards getting knocked out cold. So yeah, Ive never scene the Bills win in person. My hopes are nonexistent.
  5. @ the Chargers, Nov.19. Do it then. Ill be there! Quick edit: I was at The Murph when Flutie took over too. Playoffs....guaranteed!
  6. Is it? Seem to remember Taylor having a decent run game, and still not playing like an NFL qb..
  7. The kicker is, Watsons a better runner than Taylor too haha. When Taylor has a game like Watson did last week, then ok, eell talk. But he WAS 2/8 for 32, so he sucks?!
  8. Watson is better than Tyrod Taylor, right now.
  9. Haha...RGIII comparisons...of course. As HC O'Brien is terrible with QBs in the NFL. Watson will overcome even him.
  10. Love White. LOVE. But it looks like they missed on Watson. And that could cost the Bills another 10-15 years....so there's that..
  11. If you haven't done so, check out his youtube channel. Best Bills stuff on the webs The Bills/Broncos game from week 3 is done with Primetime music as well
  12. Didnt notice it until today. The Bills players look ripped. Tyrod and Clay stand out to me, and so do the LBs. You can see it in their arms. And I like it! Ive been saying for years...the strength and conditioning staff has to supply the means for the players to get what they 1) want, and 2) need. Cutting edge drugs and illegal PEDs get you wins. Dont think for a second that they dont.
  13. Very impressed by White. Dude balls. Love how he carries himself too. Screams future team leader!
  14. Was that the 341 rushing yards game? Great line by Musberger! My uncle took my 14 year old brother to that game...not a sellout if I recall and tickets came easy. My brother didn't even follow the Bills back then!!
  15. Everyone is gonna have to accept that SEC, ACC, and Southwest kids will not want to play in Buffalo. This wouldn't be the case if they organization wasn't such a loser mess. This season will not change this. The tradition is fully functional until this prospect of stability results in wins. So whats the answer right now this minute: Have players that want to be here. Obviously Watkins and Darby did not. So they're out. I like that.
  16. It is not an enhancer for Athletes. Just goes to show how superior the top guys are...
  17. As a low level play caller, I've always said this. It was never a knock on the quarterback, as I've said it not even knowing my roster. It's just old school, and the most sure fire, powerful, punch you in the mouth type of physical domination in a game of mental and physical strength. I see nothing wrong with expressing one's dreams ;-) Now, carry on bashing the ex coach who actually said something bright this time.
  18. Just a little fun conversation on a Saturday night.. If you could pick a franchise quarterback for this current Bills team that never won a Super Bowl in his career (yet, counts), who would it be? Imaginarily, he would be coming in as a rookie and spending his best years with Buffalo. This would be a quarterback that you feel could have won the big one, but didn't for some reason...team around him, management, a missed field, etc. My pick: Dan Marino! Haha Reason: Greatest QB on my non SB list, bar none I got the easy choice out of the way so now you guys can do the better analysis!
  19. Size hasn't really changed over the past two or so decades. Barry and Emmit Smith are a little shorter, but weigh the same, and have tremendously solid body types. Thermal, at 210 lbs would be the floor for a carry/touch machine. Going back further, OJ, Jim Brown, Marcus Allen, Eric Dickerson have elite size for today's game. Maybe there are more 6' 230 lbs guys in today's game, but they can become useless very quickly. If anything, they might be, on average, an inch or three taller than yesteryear. BUT, skill has evolved a lot. Today, they are faster, more agile, and have considerably better hands and pass protection skills. They train year around, and need to compete against way better players on the other side of the ball. So throwing the all time greats in their primes like Simpson, Brown, and Dickerson on the field would be a tough one. Perhaps they would wear down quickly during today's fast paced, size and speed game.
  20. Agree! Elloit is top top tier. But don't over spend for his backup. It's essentially a wasted drafted pick because both McFadden and Morris are useless on a good fantasy team, and someone in your league will take the guy too early....don't be that person. Me too! And I won the thing It's all a crap shoot though. Luck (sometimes Andrew) is 50% of it.
  21. I have the original broadcast on DVD. I found it on eBay. One of the Best Buy's I ever made!!
  22. I don't know about Bennett being #23, but you got me hooked on these lists!! How is Dan Bailey not a top kicker?! Some of the old timers are like 55% FG kickers haha. They suck!!
  23. I can't wait to see him peak as a low level pro bowler in year three, then disappoint, then sign a big contract else where, and finally mail it in for the rest of his career. Once a Bill, always a Bill.
