  1. Cheap bastard. Didn't you see the free Tim Hortons coffee coupon that you actually can use on Monday for a change? :w00t:

     

    Everybody's alsways looking for a free lunch lol

    oh ... the free lunch is at the Adams Mark Hotel ... because we scored 3 TDs. I got my free lunch ... I just wanted a burrito, too.

  2. Yes...I'm not a huge Fitzpatrick fan...but the guy has more experience and got the most crucial snaps in the backup position over Brohm.

     

    Fitzpatrick sealed his roster spot tonight as well as David Nelson, Reggie Corner, and Ellis Lankster.

     

    That leaves Brohm out of the equation.

    Reggie Corner got lucky on a play where he was 5 yards behind his cover ... he didn't do much to help his position. He was beat badly off the line.

  3. I have to admit.... I'm not a huge Trent fan but I thought he looked pretty decent in the first half.(that is all I watched) Spiller was staring to scare me a bit but he figured it out. I am optimistic of this season. I think our Bills may show some promise...

    "pretty decent", huh? I know you're not a Trent fan, but really? The only reason he didn't have another bomb to Evans this week is that LE didn't go hard off of the ball right from the start. If he didn't dog the first part of his pattern, it was another 70 yard TD. Even that "overthrow" was a beautiful pass ... and that was his worst pass of the night. Two of the other three incompletes were throwaways escaping a sack. Tonight was a very good night for Mr. Edwards.

  4. Con

    The only reason Reggie Corner got a pick 6 is because he was 5 yards behind the receiver and Palmer Pt. Deux missed the receiver by that much ... Corner was beaten badly on that play and got lucky. And that made it so the Bills stopped passing the ball, thus eliminating the Free Burrito coupon from Moe's in the GameDay program.

  5. Most popular guy in town on a bad football team is usually the back-up. Sorry Fitz.

    It doesn't take a bad football team for the backup QB to be the most popular ... there were times during the glory years that people were calling for Reich to start ... even in the playoffs ... "Kelly's been hurt, Reich has lead us to 3 straight wins, we should keep starting him even though Kelly is healthy again ..."

  6. Eliminate the mistakes ... cut Corner and relegate Moats to special teams ... those two cost us about 21 points(Corner allowed at least 2 scores on bad plays & missed the pick 6), 250 yards & lots of momentum all by themselves. Out of position and lunging at air all over the place ...

  7. So, as a Christian, CJ would temper his feelings and comments to match the context in which he finds himself? Gee, that must make for interesting shifting points of view. God forbid [no pun intended] one should simply be a Christian and speak one's mind in every situation. I hope your comment isn't representative of Christian beliefs.

    Speaking as a pastor ... Let's say ... I do not want to move to 'Nebraska' (for example), and I am free to say that I don't want to go there. If my denomination moved me there (as an assignment, out of my control) ... it would be rude to tell the parishioners there that I really didn't want to be there, so I would be quiet and be a good servant.

     

    That being said ... expectations for a pastor & a football player are slightly different.

  8. Buffalo hasn't developed a QB since 1986 (Jim Kelly). Todd Collins was quickly shown the door, Losman & Edwards have both been badly mismanaged, so let's see what Gailey can do with Edwards. If Edwards gets the nod as starter and can't get it done this year, then he'll be out of here at the end of the season.

    I don't think the Bills really developed Kelly ... he arrived quite polished already. Did he improve in Buffalo? Yes ... but we didn't get him from being a college QB to a pro QB.

  9. no one trades a reigning league MVP unless there's a problem ... that happened to Flutie ... TWICE ... once was midseason IIRC in a MVP season. He was a problem everywhere he went ... except in NE (the second time) because he was a novelty with his dropkick.

  10. Man i just watched a Bills classic video on Rumblings & i don't care who you are or what you say Flutie was not only a winner with more heart than most but he was a Stud when it came to Q.B. :P

    you forgot to put the "PI" in the middle of your description

  11. I have no doubt he'll make some highlight video plays in his career. And I'll love every one of them.

     

    But you can't convince me that he was the right pick at 9.

     

    Put it another way. If, before the draft, you were told that we could have Chris Johnson (who everyone wants to compair spiller to) for our first round pick, knowing that Marshawn and Jackson would not be moved for picks during the draft, how many people would have been on board with that?

     

    Not many. And he's proven what he can do on the field already.

     

    I'll go on record saying that if Tennessee called and offered us Chris Johnson for our #1 ... I would take it in a heartbeat. Move Lynch now or later or never ... doesn't matter. If I was guaranteed to receive a young, highly productive player for a #1, I do it every time.

     

    If we were hoping for a 2nd - 3rd for Lynch ... Johnson is worth at least a #1.

  12. Why don't you just watch the video, that way you will know what you are talking about?

    I don't need to watch the video to remember that play ... TT didn't throw Flutie under the bus, but let's ask who more likely botched the play:

     

    1. the longtime Bill, running a play he'd been running for nearly a decade?

    2. the shortime Bill, who showed everywhere he has ever been that it has to be all about him? There was a reason he was the CFL MVP 5 times, on THREE different teams. Twice his last season with a team was an MVP year. Hmmm ...

  13. One aspect of this game that still sticks out his the heart Thurman Thomas STILL played with in this game. I went with my cousin Joe and we had a blast! Good times. Jags game

    Without watching the video ... I assume this is the game where Flutie runs in the winner at the end of the game? TT was still awesome at this point ... and Flutie botched the simple handoff at the end so that HE could be the hero. While a fun game, and was great to watch ... it started me down the road to not liking Flutie. It was always about HIM ... not the Bills.

  14. I always thought it came down to Coaching.

     

    Losman was over coached by way too many people. Edwards could still develop depending on how he is coached this season.

     

    I'm not a big fan of either but I still think Edwards has some upside given a good Offensive Line and some quality Coaching.

    Losman's career was over the moment that Meathead inserted him in the game against a ferocious Pats* defense even though he was the 3rd string/emergency QB and he wasn't given any time to warm up. Talk about being thrown to the sharks ... what was it? 6 plays, 3 turnovers? Game, set & match ... I think he may have developed, but we will never know ... it's all over now.

     

    EDIT: sorry, I just looked it up ... 6 dropbacks, 1 INT, 1 sack, 1 fumble ... welcome to the NFL, Rookie

  15. Seriously there has to be a reason they are doing this.

    from the article ...

     

    Arlington will play host to the Super Bowl on Feb. 6, 2011, but Dallas, Fort Worth and other surrounding communities will play host to events throughout the week leading up to the big game.

  16. Lets recap covers;

     

    off the top of my head...

     

    2001- Eddie George (fell of teh face ot the earth after, concussion problems)

    2002- Daunte Cullpepper ( Also fell of the earth revived in Oakland and Detroit

    2003-Mike Vick(i think he my have been 04)(well we all know this story)

    2004 ???

    2005- ???

    2006- Donovan McNabb( THE ONLY EXCEPTION)

    2007- Shaun Alexander ( Was out of teh league the next year)

    2008 - Vince Young ( went crazy after injury)

    2009 - Troy Hairamalou & Larry Fitzgerald( Troy out for season, Larry decent season)

    whichever year Vick was on the cover was the year he broke his ankle in preseason ... the 2nd game IIRC ... the ultimate jinx

  17. It's not 15, but it all depends on how you do the count. You can count as few as 16 counting Gailey, 17 if you add Pitts when Marv was out with prostate cancer, 19 if you count the two terms each of Saban & Johnson separately.

    Different men as Bills coaches:

    1) Ramsey

    2) Saban (twice)

    3) Collier

    4) Johnson (twice)

    5) Rauch

    6) Ringo

    7) Knox

    8) Stephenson

    8) Bullough

    10) Levy

    11)Pitts

    12) Phillips

    13) Williams

    14) Mularkey

    15) Jauron

    16) Fewell

    17) Gailey

     

    By the way, the Steelers have had 6, not 4 since 1960: Parker, Nixon, Austin, Noll, Cowher, Tomlin.

    I don't have the time right now to read through 6 pages ... but there is no reason to include "interim" head coaches in this list. What Buddy was talking about was Head Coaches, not Interim Head Coaches. We have had 15 of those.
