I'm going to say Schobel. The guy doesn't get the credit I think he deserves. Next...

LOL. I always try and wait to actually see a guy play before I bash him. I have never seen Gandy play, so I will reserve judgement, and trust Satan and the Mouse to know what they are doing. I mean, they ARE the professionals....

thanks for the post. I liked the part about not expecting a drop off on defense. I was not overly thrilled with Fat Pat's play last year. He seemed to be getting a little slower. We will see how he does in Minny, and how we do without him...

I have also found that WKBW has decent streaming video, almost daily, from Bills camp. Since Empire is defunct, I will take what I can get...

Did you guys hear about the video of debris from today's launch? It doesn't appera to be anything serious, but experts will review the video frame by frame...

Easy, The Government will....

That IS the kiss of DOOM!

OK Mike. We are officially counting on you for daily reports.

Will do...

1. 51-3. Nuff said 2. Kelly's run to the win against the fish. 3. JJ saying on national tv after we spanked them (late 90's, not sure the year or the score) " they just kicked our Butts today." 4. The Comeback. I will never forget the image of my Uncle, a life long bills fan, Pacing back and forth in my backyard for the entire second half. He wasn't watching the game as the comback started, and he didn't want to jinx it, so he never did "see" the comeback. He would jump up and down as I would scream after each score, but he wouldn't come in and watch the game. Very surreal...

I think that over the next 10-12 years we will come to love JP Losman as we did Kelly. I predict we will return to the same glory type of Franchise we had before, because of him. I predict we will win a SB in the next 4 years. I predict alot of things, ALL good for JP. He will be the Cocky, self confident gunslinger we need. He will demand greatness from his teammates. He will go to Pro-bowls. I know he has thrown a total of 5 passes in his career as of right now. But I have a funny feeling this guy will be something special. There have been little hints and glimpses of what he has to offer. This has been said before by some, But I will say it here again. He reminds me of Brett Favre. I remember when Don Majkowski was injured, and Favre came in and stunk it up. You could see the ability and future oozing out of him for all to see. Majkowski was supposed to be the MAN in GB. But he never took the field again. The way JP has conducted himself here in the first year of his career makes me hope and dream of greatness for him. Sure, I could predict doom and gloom for him and the Bills. Lots of people will and have done that. I wanted to give another opinion about the Bills Future. Only time will tell. GO JP! Go Bills! GOD, I LOVE this time of year!!!!!

hehe that would be a no.... he said he didn't even want to ask for it.

Oh yeah, thanks LA. The Camp was listed as an INDOOR all day thing. Instead, we were in the Gym for 5 mins, then outside for the rest of the day. Its only 109* today, so its not TOO hot for back to back to back football games. Is it? Christ. 21 poeple died this week here in Phx from the heat, and we were outside playing Football....

Yeah, I didnt want to bring up the Giant Turd of a game the team layed out against Pittsburgh. That was a meltdown by more players than just Drew. Our Team couldn't stop the second and Third team steelers all day....

Update---- We just got back from the camp, and it was a HUGE disappointment. I believed it to be a camp where the kids would do some drills run by NFL players, giving them some pointers. Maybe some Passing drills, Route running drills, Blocking drills, RB drills. Instead, they did 10 mins of drills, then broke up into 6 teams and played flag football for the day in a round robin Tournament. Now, Flag Football is ok, if they had said thats what it would be. They didnt. My kid is a LINEMAN in every meaning of the word. Big, Slow, and kinda Clumsy. Flag Football is not good for him. So he played very few plays, and never touched the ball. Typical stuff, and not unexpected. I am not the typical parent, complaining "my kid didnt play. It's not fair to little Johnny" crap. I had hoped he would get some techniques and pointers on fundamentals and basic O-line play today. Not stand around and watch a Flag football game. Oh and for the record. Anquan Boldin, Bryant Johnson, and Tony Macklin were there today from the Cards. And all they did was referee the games. No instruction. No tips. No teaching. Just big kids watching the little kids. Oh well. He has a 5 day camp in 2 weeks run by a local high school coach. Maybe he will get the help he wants there.

which "one play" are you referring to? The Travis Henry non Touchdown in Oakland? the 4th down hail mary against Jax? The 4th down TD pass against Jax? or maybe the Drew fumble TD against the Pats? If the Bills had made any of those, we most likely make the playoffs last year...

My son is going to a 1 day football camp today run by Anquan Boldin of the Cardinals here in Phoenix. Is it appropriate to ask for autographs either before or after the camp?

Are there still posters out there that wished we signed TO? I am sure there are. But this entire thread is the reason why I didnt want that POS on the Bills. I want to win a SB as bad as anybody here, but I dont want to root for a team of guys like TO to do it. That is one thing I am most proud of the bills for. We generally dont sign A-holes like TO. Fug TO! Go Bills!

My main concern with Gandy, is that he hasn't played for a while, and he is injury prone. kinda like a lesser version of Jonas. Wasn't Gandy out of football last year? I dont want to rely on a guy who was injured in '03, sat out '04 because NO ONE wanted him, and along come the Bills to say "he is our Starting LT and we expect to make the Playoffs"... It makes me Nervous Guy 2.

I predict that by the 9/11 opener against Houston, Duke Preston will be the starter at Center, and Teague will be the LT. Preston should be better at center than Gandy at LT. I think Gandy will be a disappointment, thus forcing the Bills to move Teague. That means The Duke will hold court on 9/11. Of course, I could be wrong. You know what the say about opinions, dont you?

hehe. LA, I have 2 speeds when I golf. Fast and good, or fast and Bad.

Hey, AD. Any tips on surviving the 117* days here in Zona? Just kidding. I shot an 81 the other day at around 3:30 pm the other day. That was the day 3 homeless guys died due to exposure. Temps are no higher really than any other year. We are just in a moderately long heat wave. That should break this weekend. The remains of hurricane Emily might bring some needed rain to the Valley this weekend.

This is usually the time of year when guys sign their first contracts. Any news from WNY on Roscoe and the rest reaching agreements? I predict a few straglers this year. Mostly Roscoe, and maybe Everett due to his injury.

I not only think he will make this team, I think he will see some playing time later in the year. He will turn some heads at camp, and slowly work his way into the lineup.

Well, our house in Phoenix appraises at around 300k, but we owe 260. The RE market in Buffalo is VERY affordable compared to the skyrocketing RE here in Phoenix or Southern Cal. Phx is getting as crowded as LA, and as rude. I would trade the heat for the cold if I could. My biggest problem is finding jobs comparable to what we make at Costco. Together we make around 80-85k a year. Cant start fresh with a company and make anywhere near that much in Buffalo. Not doing the type of work we do. Now I know we wouldn't need to make that much if the overall cost of living is lower. You know, the gallon of milk or gas. The Electric bill. the Heating bill in WNY. How do they compare? When we come back for the Dolphin game, we are going to seriously check it out. I have begun checking some want ads already. Who knows? Like FFS said. All of our families are here in Phx. As are our friends. Why move? Is the traffic and congestion and overcrowding worth the hassle of starting over? I ask myself that everday when I am sitting in traffic in 110* heat.
