  1. Someone needs to tell that to Roscoe. I love the fact that the guy fights for every inch out there but he is constantly getting hurt. Maybe it's time for him to realize that he weighs about half of everyone else out there and he should be avoiding some of those hits. I know the broken wrist was kind of a fluke but the fact is, he is worth more to this team playing every week as opposed to getting a handful of weeks a season out of him.
  2. Another poster in another post made an interesting observation regarding the Gailey/Edwards fiasco. He stated something to the point that it was Wilson that was so high on Edwards and Gailey was more or less covering-his-ass by annointing Edwards the starter. The poster mentioned that he thought both Nix and Gailey knew Edwards wasn't going to cut it and they put him out there knowing that he was going to fail miserably, more or less a sink or swim situation. WIlson's meddling with the QB situation started this season out on the wrong foot and it's taken several weeks for them to recover. I can see where the poster makes some sense here. Obviously Gailey isn't a moron and he had to see what us fans had seen for the last few years with Edwards. The guy had no heart, no will or desire to become a leader, much less a productive part of this team. I don't see any other explanation except that maybe Fitz just didn't pick up Gailey's system right away, which most likely is not the case considering that Fitz is probably smarter than most of the people in that locker room collectively.
  3. The one thing you can compare with Moore and Brees is that they both played for colleges that primarily threw the ball. Purdue, at the time, threw exclusively and obviously Boise likes to toss the ball. The more common factor with the two players is that they both were, and are, students of the game. Both come from coaching lineage and both QB's can pick apart a defense if given the opportunity. Don't underestimate Moore as a pro, though he doesn't have the ideal size, he has more between the ears than probably 75% of the current NFL QB's.
  4. That is probably the strongest part of the defense. Williams and Troup make a nice tandem and each has their own niche. Nothing against Stroud but he is a converted 4-3 under tackle trying to play a strong side, pass rushing end in a 3-4. It's not his gig and that is obvious. I believe that Stroud would be rotated to LDE next year and splitting time with Carrington and the Bills will draft a pass rushing RDE very high in the draft and compliment him with a pass rushing OLB to shore up the front 7either from the draft, free agency or Merriman if he is able to come back from his troubles and resigns with the Bills.
  5. If there is a stud DE or OLB that is head and shoulders above everyone else, that is the direction the Bills should be looking, regardless if Luck comes out or not. Defense wins championships and the Bills D is extremely weak all the way across the front 7. I wouldn't be surprised if they drafted the first 3 or 4 rounds in the trenches on both sides of the ball. The kid from the Tar Heels might be a consideration for DE. I am sure between now and after the combines, there will be a couple of players that jump out above the rest. QB would be a necessary pick if the Bills had stuck with Edwards but right now, its a need, just not an absolute necessity in the top 5. The Bills need a playmaker(s) on defense and that is about as glaring as it will get. Another Bruce Smith type of player would be nice.
  6. As Marv always said, when you start listening to the fans, you will soon be sitting with them.
  7. Whoever the moron is that thinks that CJ is a bust, here is the line from the Bears game: Rushing ATT YDS TD LG C.J. Spiller 7 20 0 15 Fred Jackson 8 16 1 6 I guess that shows how much of a bust Spiller is. Might as well call FJ a bust too and just cut them both with your moronic thinking.
  8. I didn't have any issues yesterday but I did have a problem with one of the earlier games in the year. The funny thing was, I wasn't getting HD for the Bills game but I did for all the other games. I called DirecTV about it and they had no clue. All I did was unplug my receiver and restarted it and everything was fine after that. Sometimes it's just your equipment and not the overall system.
  9. Funny thing is, if it wasn't the punt it would have been something else. No matter what, something would have gone wrong. Kicker is, if the game would have been reversed and the Bills were punting in that situation, the ball would have bounced 15-20 yards in the opposite direction and the Bears, or any other team would have had the ball around the 40 instead of the 1.
  10. I live in the Orlando area that has (1) Major sports team and there are two stations with sports talk and all three of the news talk stations carry one form or another of sports games.
  11. S W I - Swimming While Intoxicated I didn't know that was a crime but nowadays, it appears that any form of public intoxication is subject to arrest. The worst thing that's going to happen to this guy is that he is going to get a ton of crap from his teammates in the locker room.
  12. Just played my first round of the season on Friday. It's too hot here in Florida to play during the summer. I usually get out at least once a week, twice if I have time. I work nights so I tend to try to get out during the week when the courses aren't packed. I would say that during the Fall, Winter and Spring, I probably get out 30 or so times a season.
  13. Hey, at least you weren't watching the OSU/Wisconsin game and the announcers talking about the Bills and Pryor. I actually heard the same thing while watching the game though. My guess would be that the Bills scouts happened to be in town doing some scouting while the TV crew was there at the same time. Sherrod is a decent LT but I highly doubt he goes in the top 5-8, likely where the Bills will be picking. The way it looks, they will be picking in the top 3 and, unless they trade out, they will be taking a QB.
  14. Is it possible that both parties, Wilson and the Kelly group, are waiting to see what happens in Washington in the next few weeks? There is a possibility that the Bush tax cuts will be extended and in that bill, there is the "death tax", that was waved till the end of this year. There is also, if I remember correctly, something in that bill that lowers the amount of capital gains taxes levied on the sale of anything with a capital gain. They might be waiting to see what transpires with all of that, and considering that the Marxist wants to lower the boom on anyone making more than $250K/year, it is likely that both parties are waiting till the last minute to make the deal. I would bet that a deal is done before the end of the year if the tax cuts aren't extended completely for all involved. If congress and the Marxist decide to screw the "rich", Wilson has no other option than to sell the team this year. If the regime loses the house and senate in November, there might be a compromise to extend the tax cuts for at least one or two more years and the need to sell right away won't be as necessary. Either way, my guess would be that everyone can look to Washington and the White House as to what happens with the Bills in the next couple of months.
  15. Wow. Can't wait to see how this plays out with the allegations. With all the people confirming Luchs, it's hard to believe Kiper's denial. I am sure that Kiper and Wichard had (have) some deals going on, it's almost hard to believe that there isn't something a little shady going on there.
  16. One suggestion I have for your high maintenance tailgater would be to bring a package of foil, wrap an individual size amount of pork in the foil and use a hand held propane torch to heat the outside of the foil, thus warming it's contents. I've actually done it before and it works. It looks and sounds stupid but it's a lot less bulky than a grill and it only takes a few minutes of warming the small package to heat the contents. On a side note, pulled pork it probably my all time favorite tailgate dish. It's simple (meaning it can be prepared a day or two in advance) and it's damn tasty.
  17. I can't disagree with anything here. Unfortunately, the Bills are a bad team with a bad reputation right now. Until both of those things change, the media will have it's whipping boy.
  18. This right here says everything that needs to be said about Trent Edwards. There is nothing else to say.
  19. I loved those commercials with him as the compliance Linebacker. Actually thought he was a pretty good LB with some potential until he had the knee injury. Honestly, is he worse than Ellison?? I am guessing that there are at least a dozen LB's out there that could do a better job than Ellison but for whatever reason, he still has a roster spot. I personnally think he has compromising pictures of someone very high up in the organization and he is locked onto this team.
  20. I thought that he was on schedule to make it back for the Jets game this weekend. I think Poz had a tweak in his knee or something along those lines. I hope he is back soon because I am sick of seeing Ellison being pushed 15 yards downfield and just too weak overall to be a linebacker in the NFL.
  21. Nothing against Fitz but don't forget his high throw on the first drive that possibly cost a possible touchdown, leading only to a field goal.
  22. that Keith Ellison is by far the worst player on the field for the Bills. I wouldn't be surprised to see his sorry ass cut when Poz gets back and Nelson is activated from his suspension.
  23. Have you seen the 1st 2 games???
  24. There has got to be some f#$%%^n moron that will say that Edwards completed more than 50% of his passes!!
