Not True! Reggie Bush is a sophomore!

Thats what I thought
-
In 1990 I was only 8, my love for football had been growing for a couple years at that point. Being from Michigan all we got was Lions games on the NFC side and the Bills were on all the time on the AFC side.
I started watching them exclusively in 1990 because they were so exciting to watch and they were always on TV. After the glory days ended the Bills were so much a part of me that I continued being a die hard. Now, like many of you, I will always be a fan no matter what the circumstances.
The one thing that has always puzzled me over the years is that if they were to move I know I would no longer be a fan. Maybe in some past life I grew up in WNY, who knows what it is.

At least to offset your girlfriends/wifes Colin Farrel comments we get to look at Angelina Jolie's DSL's for a couple hours.
Probably won't see it anyway.

I think if Reggy Bush declares he could go #1, he's got a a nice combination of size, insane speed, and hands. USC doesn't use him as a every down back but I certainly think he could be capable of filling that role. Maybe #1 overall is a stretch but one could argue top 5 with the talent he has.

I wasn't trying to compare Buffalo to Detroit, IMO Detroit is the biggest stevestojan hole in the United States. As for comparing Detroit suburbs each city varies so much that I don't think you could compare one to the other. Some are extremely dirty, some very affluent, just like every other place it just depends on the city.
But the reasons you enjoy Buffalo were what I was looking for, keep them coming.

I have never been to Buffalo so the extent of my knowledge comes from the posts I read on here. Whether its people talking about the high taxes, crap politicians, or shot economy it seems like I rarely read anything positive about the city.
I grew up about 20 minutes outside Detroit in a very nice city called Livonia. I would often refer to Detroit as a peace of crap, and when compared to suburban Livonia the two really have nothing in common.
I'm wondering if that comparison is similar to many of the wallers on here. Do most you locals live in the suburbs and look at Buffalo like I would look at Detroit? Basically as a city so shot and different from your suburban town that its easy to say crappy thing about it. Or do most of you actually live in Buffalo and are dealing with the issues brought up on here on daily basis?
As an observer of the material on this board I guess I'm just curious as to why anyone would want to live in Buffalo. It really sounds like it is a dieing city with a world of problems. Maybe a few of you could help me better understand some of these issues in your responses.

The thing about that tgreg99, I actually liked Any Given Sunday. Was it a cinematic classic or even up to par with Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, or JFK? No. But, it was a good movie. I thought LT was surprisingly effective in it. I was expecting him to be just awful, but he did okay. They could've done without John McGinley's Jim Rome-esque character, a waste of a very talented actor. Other than that, I thought Pacino, Jamie Foxx, LL, Dennis Quaid, and even Cameron "Joker" Diaz did very well.
I wonder just how much criticism he'll take is based just on this movie or is it directed at him, like Spike Lee receives? Spike got screwed out of an Oscar (what a surprise!) for his brilliant documentary "Four Little Girls".
I second that, I thought Any Given Sunday was a very good film.

17-10 Buffalo

Not to familiar with Bass Pro but I did watch the special on it tonight on empire. Reminds me a place we have in Michigan called Cabelas. Cabelas is located in a very small town called Dundee here in Michigan. Previous to Cabellas arrival it was economically shot, since then it has flourished.
The place is busy 24/7 and people come from all over the United States to go their. It really is crazy just how much Cabelas sparked the Dundee economy, hopefully Bass Pro can do the same for Buffalo and WNY.

Whether he's a very good or great DE is probably just picking nits at this point. And to tell you the truth I think our opinion of him is a lot closer than either of us realizes. I just know that at this point I'm very happy with his continued development and if he doesn't get any better (which would be the first time in his career he failed to improve) I'd still consider him a good option at that RDE spot (as well as the LDE where he keeps popping up on occasion).

I agree with that Simon. Sometimes on hear its hard to tell if somebody is agreeing or disagreeing by the way they word things. To get right down to the point I think Schobel is a very good player and expect him to keep improving. Like you said our views of him are probably much closer then this thread would indicate.
Cue the sentimental wall music

I think that's been sort of a left-handed compliment for him up until this year. He didn't burst on the scene like some young DE's have but unlike most other DE's he's been getting better and better for 4 years straight now. In the last month we've seen him have very good games against John Ogden, Orlando Pace, Jason Fabini and Leonard Davis. Those are 4 highly regarded LT's and Schobel has given trouble to every one of them.

I don't think its a left-handed compliment at all. He is a improving good DE, the problem is he just got a contract that demands that he is not just a good DE but that he is a top notch DE. Your saying that he played well against those OT's and I'm not going to refute that statement because at times he has. What he has also done since he became a Bill is disappear for long stretches at a time.
In his fourth season he still has not found a way to beat OT's to the inside and until he does that he won't warrant consistent double teams. Schobel is a very good to great edge pass rusher but until he can come inside and show some power he won't be a top notch player.
I don't know about you but when I don't hear Schobels name called for long periods at a time it does not come as a surprise. He has a couple of monster stat inflating games per year and then is a shadow the rest of the way. Do it with some consistency, do it threw double teams like the elite DE's in this league, he does that and I will jump on the wagon. Until then he is just a good DE.
-
Kidding aside I really like Kelsey's run support, and Schobel plays well against average OT's. For Schobel to become a complete player he needs to work on his power moves. To often Schobel takes himself out of plays by trying to loop around OT's. Even taking that into account he is still a very good DE against the pass and the run.

I think Tim Anderson was drafted by TD as part of his project to build the NFL's first 100% high motor defensive line. We are one more white guy away from having the most dominant group of down field tacklers the league has ever seen.

The contract is structured in a way that could make Willis a top paid RB if he performs at that level. He had a unique situation coming out of the draft and in order to protect the Bills TD gave Willis a incentive laden deal. I don't see him holding out, if he wants more money than he will have to earn it.
IMO most drafted players should receive this type of contract, it's not like any of them are guaranteed to do well anyway.

I was screaming when it happened to challenge the play. That said I was still convinced the refs would say the whistle was blown before he crossed the goaline. Considering It was obvious from watching it live that Henry crossed at the end of the play you would expect a replay from CBS. That replay never came which I thought was pretty weird at the time.
Oh well, whats done is done.

The schools now: It is all about self-esteem in the schools now.
Build the kids' self-esteem, make them feel good about themselves.
If everybody grows up with high self-esteem, who is going to dance in our strip clubs?
What's going to happen to our porno industry?
These women don't just grown on trees.
It takes lots of drunk dads missing dance recitals before you decide to f-ck a goat on the internet for fifty bucks.
And if that disappears, where does that leave me on a Friday night with my new high speed connection?
I thought this part was great

Actually, quite a time ago, a floozy (ofter spelled floozie) was more of what we now call a ditz. A floozie could be a slut, but back then a more common usage for such were the words, strumpet, tramp, and trollope. Very socially devasting.
Looks like I was being a floozie

Happy Thanksgiving.
I'm off to Detroit. But, before I go...
Today is my one year anniversary of joining the Wall and I'd like to say Thank ewe. Thank ewe for being some cool people to talk to when things are boring, things are dull or things are just the same as always.
One thing that this board is and has been since I joined is passionate. Though we may all have different beliefs, different loves and different ways of looking at the world we all pretty much can agree that we are passionate.
I am thankful that you guys are around.
Have a great holiday.
Ray
Happy Thanksgiving to everybody.
I'm also trying to get to the Detroit area but the West Michigan area is getting hit with some heavy snow and winds. I tried hitting the freeway earlier but it was a pointless effort, I had to turn around and will try again tomorrow morning. If your flying hopefully you won't get delayed, if your driving good luck and be safe.

I'm making a suggestion that we also reinstate these words.....
The clap- Even for a STD Gonorrhea sounds way to dirty
Floozy- Damn it (insert womens name) stop being such a floozy. Has a much better ring to it then slut.

I hope Mularkey can get Matthews to accept the switch, don't want to do anything to ruin team chemistry at this point.

no...there a dick fans everywhere...just like there are dick players everywhere...it was an ugly incident, everyone is guilty...I've moved on. A flagrant foul, Wallace got pissed, retaliated and it should have ended there. I chose not to look like an idiot by carrying on in this thread (although I reserve the right to be an idiot in the future)
Thats why I stayed away from the thread.
