Feel free to rip anything I post to shreds!
This Maybin thing is probably just the usual drama queen stuff that seems to waft around high picks not yet signed. WRs seem to get the Oscar for such...
I'm interested to see him play - I can't recall watching him at PSU last year. I read words like "one-trick pony" and can't play the run etc. And that he's greased lightening off the edge.
So...we have something to look forward to.
I read my post again and considering my poor writing skills I thought to myself why didn't I just say, "great point, cincy, I agree." but nnoooooo I had to get wordy!!!
Yeah, I want to see the goods, too. He needs to get in.

I'll start out by saying I predict an 8-8 season, which is unacceptable, but reality. I'll also say that my opinions are usually panglossian to a fault.
That said, the usual post-preseason game meltdown has been hilariously extreme this year. Every thread I read has turned into an everything Bills-related hatefest. I could start a thread that says, "the water boy is doing a great job of delivering water" and it would turn into a thread about how Edwards should deliver a ball even if someone had grabbed his balls and stretched them into his shoes, let alone have an offensive lineman pushed into his throw.
Anyway, some things to remember:
1. The owner of the Buffalo Bills was just inducted into the HOF!
2. Bruce Smith was inducted into the HOF!
3. We are 0-0 and anything could happen!
Not only that, two things can happen this year, either of which should make any real Bills fan happy:
1. The Bills make the playoffs.
2. Bills don't make the playoffs, and DJ gets fired.
Those are both excellent outcomes, so how can anyone be upset?
It is who we are, Todd. We are powerless to fight it.

1) there's a suggested 12 minute limit for the inductees speeches...
2) The Titans have a set of twins on their cheerleading squad...
Lets see here, Just Jack decided to post, OK, blah blah blah, Oh, there's pictures, OK, I'll just click and see...and I am still heterosexual, good to know very good to know.
Man, they have great skin.

I'm glad someone else see's the DE position as a huge problem. IMO, we should have picked up a veteran DE along with a rookie DE. I was hoping for Orakpo, but we drafted Maybin instead. I fear Maybin won't have that much of an impact this season, maybe 6-8 sacks at best. We're gonna have the same problems with our pass-rushing as last year. It doesn't matter how many and how good the DB's, CB's & Safety's we draft, if we don't have a decent pass-rush (I can't say good because our pass-rush is horrible), then we're gonna continue to get eaten up by the good QB's in the league. Hopefully somebody at OBD see's this and overhaul's our DE's next season.
Man, you guys, this is the 800 lbs gorilla in the room that people outside of this board don't talk about.
"Oh, the line has issues"
"Is T.O. going to cause problems."
"I don't know if Edwards is a true starter in this league."
???????????
Uh, no, talking heads, how about, "Is it my imagination or are the Bills' DEs getting eaten alive?"

I'd cry too, if there were millions within my grasp...and be happy to say that the reason for my sobbing was my love of the game and go on and wring my hands about these evil forces all around me. Those forces that can't find their way to give me more millions so I can dry my eyes and unburden my heavy heart.
It's tough being 21, and not being able to sign a contract for millions of dollars. I'm a victim of needing more money. It's not my fault! - that darn extra money is keeping me away from - my love of the game.
You and I are normally on the same page, stuckincincy, especially lately. So please don't mind if I feel the need to second your posts.
I couldn't agree more with you more, my friend, and very well said.
Maybin - either tack 5% onto last year's #11 pick salary, or do subtle derivations between the closest signed guys to you, top and bottom, come up with a number and get into to camp.
-
Thanks, Billistic, that was a mystery from watching the game last night. No one seemed to even acknowledge Rhodes not playing on the telecast, although i may have missed something.
-
I'm sorry, but aren't a lot of you guys leaving out that fact that before Vick even went to jail a couple of years ago that he really wasn't that good of a quarterback?
Do some of you think, and I am not knocking you if you do, that going away to jail and not playing any football for years gave him insight to be a better and smarter QB than the one we have now?
-
I would love to see almost every player from the SB era go in to the hall, but it wont happen
Tasker - Should be a no brainer, he redefined the role of special teams and was a pro bowler. But lack of overall time on the field may hurt him
Reed - Along with Jerry Rcie help define YAC. His numbers continue to fall on the list as the game transitions to a pass happy offense
Talley - Bruce said it best "he sacrificed his numbers for the better of the team". We the Bills fans know how he got screwed for pro bowls and he will get screwed for the Hall. BUT if Harry Carson can make it Daryl should too.
Hull - One of the best lineman over the years. But I dont see it
Richter, Ballard, Woolford, Brown, Fina, etc. - No chance
Hansen, Seals, Wright, Paup, Conlon, Bennett, Jones, Odoms, Williams, Smith, Kelso, Smith - No Chance
If TO finishes his career as a Bill...do we celebrate him in the hall as a Buffalo Bill?
I had this conversation with Bagel a couple of weeks ago.
No chance for Ruben Brown? 4 time all-pro and nine time pro bowler in 13 season. I'm not saying he's a lock and I am not even saying that he gets in, but I'd probably ease off that "no chance" tag.
-
So, he may be signed in time to play in 4 preseason games?
Um, yeah, I guess that kinda works for me.
No harm, no foul.

Nice J666.
I only have one gripe with your final 53 and it is the same as others have mentioned here.
Youbouty WILL make this team.
-
You were overlooking the obvious, Grasshopper.
If you have Directv, you can alawys use your remote and search function. Just put in keyword "NFL" and you'd see all the upcoming events.
I also have mine set to Buffalo Bills so it records automatically. Works great, except that I have to keep deleting the old movie "Annie Oakley", starring Barbara Stanwyk.
Man, do I feel stupid. I did not even know we could do that with DirecTV, and I've had it for 8 years, and the HD box for 2.

He's played against the Bills twice now and has pretty much had his way. In the Raiders' 2005 blowout victory over the Bills, he had five tackles and two sacks. In the Raiders' choke job against the Bills last year, he had four tackles and an impressive half-sack (at least on screen). I presume he knows Langston Walker's game quite well too. I think opening night is going to be pretty ugly.
Gotta agree with Peter King -- the Bills have become the Baltimore Orioles. Wilson would have been better off to move the team to the AFC Central when realignment occurred rather than stick with the east because of "rivalries."
Don't, Dave, seriously, don't. Don't go there, because I was one of those whinny little b******* all those years ago that would have loved for us to be in the Central division - wherein the furthest city away from us, driving wise, is still closer than our closest opponent in the East - wherein Baltimore would have been a natural fit in the East, as we would in the central - wherein all the teams are at the pretty much same pay scale - WHEREIN BILL PARCELS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN LINKED TO EVERY OTHER AFC EAST FRANCHISE EXCEPT FOR US!!!
SO DON'T GO THERE OR I...WILL...LOSE IT!!!!!!!!!
Peace, Bills brethren and sisteren.

Gesundheit.
best response ever.
Nice, M & M.

Yes, because after the great success of the Peerless Price deal Atlanta can't wait to get their hands on another Buffalo receiver.
-
The one panelist (who says he's from Buffalo) claimed that if Owens acts up, we Buffalonians will be all over him, not because he's acting up or not performing, but because he's black. Rome and the other panelist both seemed to be rolling their eyes on that stupidity
I happened to catch this last night, as well. Considering Vincent Smith (i believe that's who it was) is a Buffalo native, I am not going to jump all over him for his opinion of Buffalo or Buffalonians.
BUT, it was a little insulting, not as much his comments directly about racial issues in this city, but how it is better in other cities, as he mentioned Atlanta...? (yes)...and from his comments you can assume he also includes TOs other cities: Dallas, San Fran, and Philly due to Smith's comments that the racial component would be WORSE in Buffalo than in TOs prior stops.
Come on, Vincent. Come on.

You must be wrong because in January and February we will be playing in the playoffs and Superbowl.
YEAH BABBBBBYYYYYY!!!!
Ah, that felt good.

If this is true, -and I've routinely questioned both reporters- then LW doesn't have 'much' upstairs. If I'm not mistaken, LT is the second highest paid position in the NFL. Succeed, and he'll make more $$ then he could even imagine in his wildest dreams.
With this attitude, if accurate, he'd probably be broke 5 years after he retires anyway.
Suck it up, Lumpy!
P.S. who's out there for a tryout..
Right on, Chandler.
Look, I can imagine how tricky it will be for him and if he doesn't catch on it may slightly jeopardize his career.
HOWEVER, I believe he is in the 3rd year of a five year deal, and if he shows up this year and even improves greatly next year, this guy can walk into One Bills Drive after his 4th year and say, "Let's start talking long term; I'm thinking 6 years, 60 million dollars sounds about right."
...and considering this conversation is taking place in January/February 2011, he might just get it.

I know they adjusted the ratings this year, where most teams seem to be a little lower than they were in previous years, AND I know it is mostly based on the aggregate of ratings but DAAAAMMMNNNNNN I would be pissed if I were a Dolphin fan.
...Last year's AFC East Division champions with an overall rating of 77?!
The third place Jets at 78, and the last place Bills at 76?
Man I can hear the complaining from South Beach now.
EDIT: I like the Chargers team, in general, but...really?...they're 11 points better than us (88).
?...A team we beat who we finished one game behind?
-
Magox
We should beWhich means we won't.The thread officially ends due to Bills fan logic being spot on.
Yeah, it would be nice, but it is just not going to happen.

With this offensive line I think its a risky option,they must think they will be fine in their protection schemes,me I am not sold on that.
Pitta, this is not a knock on you, hell this isn't a knock on anybody, but, as long as you know the plays and you have a smart center (which we do), whether you have 35 seconds in between plays to digest it, or 15, it really doesn't make a difference to you as an offense lineman, and it DOES put even a good defense on its heels a little bit.
Holy crap was that a poorly punctuated sentence?!
I've never thought that there was great risk for any team to run the no huddle - line wise. All you really need for it are play makers and a smart QB/C combo.
Smart QB: Edwards - Stanford - check
Smart C: Hangartner - 47 on the wonderlic - check
Play makers: Evans, Owens, Lynch, Jackson, on third downs Reed - check

God bless you, Joe!!!

If this is the case, my wife thinks I can be a Pro Bowler.
Ok, this was brilliant and so I am giving it its "propers" because no one else did.

As another poster pointed out, he was the architect of the Carolina team which made the NFC Championship Game in their second season.
There's several rumors floating around as to why Polian was fired and perhaps Lori, or someone who knows better could shed light on this. I had heard two other rumors:
1) He insulted Ralph's late daughter, Linda Bogdan by hurling a sexist epithet at her.
2) He threatened to kick Jeff Littman's ass (The Bills' Treasurer).
From Wiki: "On February 4, 1993, after the Bills had appeared in their 3rd straight Super Bowl, Bill Polian was fired as general manager. Polian wasn't fired because he wasn't doing a good job, he was fired because he didn't get along with treasurer, Jeff Littmann, for reasons unknown to all except those close to owner Ralph Wilson, Littmann and Polian himself.
In his closing press conference, Bill Polian said of the team that he built, "They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."
San Jose, I have nothing more concrete here. I just always heard that he was generally unruly with the staff, creaming at them rudely, and such.
Edit: a better word might be abrasive.

How can we EVER talk about adding any other running back before Cookie Gilchrist?
First, love Bobby J.
Second, damn, you're right.
Third, I think Cookie wants to be paid to be involved.
Fourth, I think this, among other reasons, is why Ralph won't allow it.
However, I could (and hopefully) be wrong.
[closed]Rumor: Vick visited Buffalo

Two cats right now and I hope to get a dog some day. I couldn't agree with you more, Petrino.
I can forgive Michael Vick, but I don't think I can forget enough to cheer for the guy when he crosses the endzone in a Bills jersey.
...sorry, I just can't.
PS - sorry to make this more horrible, but during an episode of Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel last year I saw in a story they were doing on dog fighting that they will kidnap long since domesticated and gentle dogs out of people's yards, tape their mouths shut, and let them be tortured as training fodder for the fight dogs.
...so, you out there tell me that I should cheer for him?
