that's our Buffalo Bills!
Drafting depth in the 1st three rounds for over a decade...
That's true!
-
Not going to happen. Reed is very valuable to this team.
Yeah I agree, and for some of the blatantly obvious reasons that we all know: he is really good on 3rd down, and seriously, the dude can block.
He's not a #1 or 2, fine, I can live with that with what he provides above.

I like him. I used to listen to him a lot starting in the mid 90s. Some of the callers were really funny and the annual "Smack Off" was always great. I became disillusioned a bit when he started to sell out. I remember when he almost daily made fun of Nascar or as he called it, "The Left Turn Circuit" Then, all of a sudden one day he loves it. Obviously trying to appeal to more listeners. He did the same with soccer. Anyway, that said, he still is more entertaining than 90% of sports radio and tv personalities. I listened a few weeks ago a couple days in a row when Rome was on holidays. He had Jay Mohr guest hosting and then another day he had these two brothers hosting. Both days were really funny.
Right there.
Oh, and it was the Sklar brothers and I love when Jay Mohr guest hosts.

And a couple Super Bowls wins.
Three to be exact, and 4 Conference Championship games if you throw in Rivers' (unless I'm missing one of Ben's); and how many playoff appearances?
Pulling it off the top of my head I'm thinking 9 or 10.
Not a bad total for those four guys...
Seriously, my board brothers and sisters...and we wonder why we haven't been in the playoffs for 10 years.
-
As an ardent supporter of the Bills, I think it would a great idea to bring in Bakay. We should extend an invitation to Jaworski, Conlan, Bergey and Hubbard... you know to add some actual football credibility to the group.
Crap, I didn't even think of that. Excellent call, my friend.

The Representative from Chautauqua County would like nominate Natalie Merchant and comedian Laura Kightlinger.
I guess former Backstreet no talent hack Nick Carter was born in Jimmytown, but we don't want him associated with the team.
Bullpen, your nominations are so noted, and as longs Ralph has enough B shares of stock to go around, they are welcome.
May we also bring in Nick Bakay?

Start lining up the celebrity minority owner's, Ralph:
Christine Baranski (She's been everywhere in entertainment - stage, screen, television)
Wendi Malick (from Just Shoot Me and Dream On)
David Boreanez (OK, I know, he considers himself a Philly guy, but he knows where he and his father got there start)
Jeffery Jones (Principle from Ferris Beuler's Day Off - yes he has gotten into some legal troubles, but beggars can't be choosers)
Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill - hell, he still comes back for Bills games)
-
That's true, I only saw him play a couple of games. I guess I just don't like what I'm seeing from Edwards lately. Thanks for the statistical analysis!
Whatever problems we have with Trent Edwards right now are not going to be cured by Tyler Thigpen or either of the ghosts of David Humm or Joe Dufek.
-
Are you an electrolyte?
OK, that's funny.
Thank you, SiC.
-
This really could help a lot of the out towners and those of us who can't get enough football.
-
I'm glad. There seems to be some tension in the air between Edwards and Jauron. Both of them this week have made uncharacteristic comments regarding some sort of discontent for one another after the Packers game. Edwards subtly hinted that the coaching staff hasn't been preparing properly against 3-4 defenses and Jauron basically said that Edwards has been a Puss.
I'd rather have this happen now than during the season, and it is time that they both make each other feel not so comfortable with where they are and that they hold each other and themselves accountable for their actions.
I take this as a positive.
As much as i wanted to get worried about it I couldn't agree more, Magox. Lets see the fires burn a little bit more from these players and coaches.
-
No, they don't appear to be in great shape. You'll see in my next post that I also miss Rusty. Just saying this injury isn't a result of poor conditioning.
Absolutely agree that it did not have anything to do with it.
Man, how F'd up was that, CC, when Rusty left? Then when you hear Reuben Brown talk about Rusty he mentions how much they loved him in Chicago.
Why'd ya do it, Coach Mike? Just so you could replace a highly rated veteran coach with a buddy of yours?
-
Yeah. Our strength and conditioning coaches don't pay enough attention to hands. Also, I've heard the practices are really grueling, so you could probably just blame the entire coaching staff.
Seriously, though, Cave, on a side note regardless of injuries, does this seem like one of the most well conditioned teams you've seen in the league the last few years?
After the Mularky debacle that sent Rusty away, how has their conditioning been?
-
What big name free agents did he ever chase in Pittsburgh? In fact during his era Pittsburgh was notorious for letting key players walk after their contracts expired (ie Rod Woodson).
BD, absolutely right, however:
1. The Pittsburgh football organization is a far cry from the Buffalo program.
2. Don't you think that if he gets back into coaching the second time around that he would want a little different situation...in other words, money to get players?
Do we really, honestly think a coach of his stature is saying to himself: "Man, if I get back into this I truly would like to go to another cash strapped organization in a dying Northeastern town, b/c, with my kids mostly grown, I would not want to dream of living in places like Tampa, Dallas, Chicago, Denver, San Diego, Washington or New York."
I live in Buffalo, I love Buffalo, I'm just sayin.
-
I hope Jauron & company proves everyone wrong and makes the playoffs. But if somehow he doesn't, I could sell a guy like Cowher on the Bills job in a hour.
I would just tell him how great of a blue collar family town this is, how much the Bills mean to this community, the young talent, control over personnel, have Jimbo & Thurman talked to him, show the Norwood rally, and say he could literally save the Bills from moving. He could be a hero here. He's probably pay to coach after that speech.
I would love it, Pitta, but lets just say he did, and honestly lets say he gives Cowher a 5 year, 35 million dollar deal...what happens when Cowher wants to chase after free agents and make his team better?
Are the Bills going to open up the pocket book? Does Cowher even believe that they are going to open up the pocket book?
The reality of today is that a coach like Cowher is going to go where the money is, and not just for himself.

Schobel/Stroud/Ngata/Maybin
DBrooks/Posluzny/KMitchell
McGee/Scott/McKelvin/Greer
That sh1t might be fun to watch.
ohhhhhh!!!! Simon why did you do this? Now I'm thinking about it.
-
The Defense also took a step backwards this week. Again the CBs are getting beat consistently by underneath routes when they play 10 yards off the WRs. Am I the only one seeing this? The pass rush on 1st team was pretty much non-existent again this week. I don’t think Maybin’s presence is going to be enough to help here. More 5 and 6 man rushes might help.
Yeah, I really can't blame McKelvin (I think it was him) on a TD pass GB has the receiver at the 5 or 6 yard line, while our DB is at the goal line, before the snap.
For crying out loud, this is a play you set-up in Madden: DB off the receiver, you are in the shadow of the goal post, audible your receiver to an inside slant, TD celebration, kick the extra point.
-
Why are they not trying this guy with the first team offense? He has been a consistant target of both Fitz and the Chroise. He clearly knows how to get open and he his hands seems solid. He is definately a gamer. Considering Fine and Shouman have shown nothing this pre-season, they should give him a shot. They have 2 more preseason games, IMO he has already made the roster, let him play with the first team next game. At worst, he stinks and goes back to #3, at best you have found a diamond in the rough.
I agree, I'm stupefied on why they haven't done it already.
(oh, come on, you knew it was coming)

Look, if Dick Jauron feels that his team is prepared to face the regular season opponents, it should not matter what defense the other team is running - right? It is this simple: good coaches prepare their team to be in the best possible position to win and that is Jauron's responsibility. I mean, that is what good coaches are suppose to do - right?
There is only one problem: Dick Jauron has only had one winning season in his pathetic head coaching career when the Bears went 13-3 in 2001. He has 57 wins in 133 games or a .429 winning percentage and is not a good coach. He is a below average coach who should have been canned last year and will be fired this year after we all suffer through another year of below average everything. The fans deserve better than what we are getting...
Ralph is never going to pay the really big bucks for a coach, and although I would like him to, I get it b/c there are no guarantees and he HAS to pay out that money regardless of when he fires that coach.
That being said, I want to win now. I don't care about winning in the playoffs or winning a Super Bowl, I just want to start winning for the first time in 10 years.
In other words, I would take Marty Shotenheimer (sorry, spelling) as coach of this team TOMORROW, even at his age. If he were hired, I guarantee you, we would at least be in double digits victory wise by 2010.

Was listening to Sirius NFL and earlier today a reporter was implying that it looks like the end of Teddy Mircales is ending in New England.
Was listening to the same exact show...ya know, it really is just his time.
-
I like Chad Johnson as a football player, always have. He has fun and ejoys just playing the game. That's what it's about, atleast it should be. Flashy? Yeah, but who cares? I wish more people were like him on the field.
I 2d that.

Oh geez, this thread!
I love it!
-
If you hit L2 before snap it lets you tell your O-line how to block
Use up on the Left stick and that will set them to aggressive and help you run a little bit better. Or you can send them left and right if you're running a sweep
Overall, this is the best Madden EVER
I hated the previous PS3 versions but this is lightyears better
Sometimes I have to go back to the manual: I just checked the other day and realized that by hitting "X" (audible) and then Right trigger for the xobox 360 and I could flip the play at the line of scrimmage.
Deep, as always, and i love it.

OK, but really, we are not going to start making comparison's between McGee and Darrel Green, are we?
I agree with your numbers.
