Georgia Bill

Seems not a fair evaluation of QB's if EJ never gets to start w a halfway decent O-line. While I thought they might start him next game, I'm thinking that it's realy been decided that it's a Cassel or Taylor competition now for the starting job. I wouldn't be surprised to see Cassel start next week, and Tyrod again the week after.

Tyrod starts preseason game 2 (known), and I think it's EJ second in that game. Then EJ starts preseason game 3, with Cassel second, because this is still a wide open competition and they have to see how all of them play with our starting OL and receivers, against opposing starting defense.

From today's conference: Judge Berman was hammering NFL regarding where the direct evidence Brady had deflated the footballs was. Daniel Nash: "Maybe the most direct is (Brady) agreed neither McNally nor Jastremski would have deflated the malls (sic) without his direction." Judge Berman: "Is that it?" Nash, later: "Is there a text or email in which Mr. Brady directs" them to deflate the balls? "No." I don't see this going well for the NFL

I guess we're gonna find out

Cassel has a pro bowl year and leads us to the playoffs

Like a lot of you on the board, I am a true Bills fan. My name is not Bill, I call myself Georgia Bill because while I grew up in WNY, I ended up in Atlanta and consider myself a Bill (by virtue of being a fan). I started watching the Bills regularly when I was 11, in 1969, and have stayed a fan all these years. I love the Bills and have been known to jump up and down, yell, and act like a child over plays good and bad. I've expressed the opinion on this board that this whole thing is overblown, that the PSI was only marginally below desired after accounting for temp drop, and that I think the punishment was excessive. I'm not saying what they did was right, I'm just saying it was relatively minor in the grand scheme of things. One thing that is pretty disappointing is that I can't come to my Bills board and express such opinions without having my "fanliness" brought into question and being called out as a Patriots troll. Continuously disparaging everything the Patriots and/or Brady have accomplished does not make you a bigger Bills fan. The fact is the Patriots did not win the 4 Super Bowls because they cheated. They won because they had damn good teams and coaching. I can be a huge Bill fan and still respect (and envy) all that they have accomplished. I hope the Bills can get that good again and beat them down every game, and go (finally) win us our own championship. But I won't begrudge them their wins just so others can welcome me into their secret "real Bills fan" club.

Ravens, Giants, Charger, Colts, Patriots to wrap up their season. 4 of the 5 will probably be playing for playoff position - I say they choke out at the end...

Not neccesarily. You suggest if you get fired you're going to tell the press what they were asking you to do. Whistle-blowers are protected by law (in theory - in reality eventually they are blackballed, which is why there are so few).

And probably never will. Ahh well Maroon probably laughed all the way to the bank. Set himself up with a nice cushy retirement, and now has a job with way less pressure. I feel like he stole the money.

At most a superficial slap on the wrist type fine

I think you've got what his stance will be about right. It could take the sting out of anything else that would come out thereafter. At any rate, further back it showed that the report said that three of the balls measured as expected due to plain old temp drop, and that the rest had some unaccounted additional pressure drops. So what we're probably talking about is balls that were a tad under, after you account for temp drop. Not really a big deal, and I doubt that we see a Brady suspension. This is more of a slap on the wrist type situation. Although here in our little Bills world, in the offseason this should be good for about a 100 page thread

What he said

1 Bills Fan, When Cassel wins the starting job and takes us to the playoffs this year, this photo will be the last thing on your mind. Take a chill pill and enjoy the ride.

We have approached the vulva, but our position cannot yet be called deep.

yawn

I think Cassel's going to surprise all the naysayers. Here's hoping he's our Jim Plunkett!

Whether McCoy is used to a blocking fullback or not, the Felton signing should at least mean some holes get opened for him. Shades of Braxton?

You mean like the second half of the Colts playoff game when the balls were properly inflated, the weather sucked and they pancaked the Colts 28-0? Gosh I don't know how they'd manage in bad weather

What he has that you can't measure is heart, and he has it in abundance. Gotta see Freddie in the red white and blue this fall!

I was thinking the same thing. Course if you make that decision and lose you'd never hear the end of it.

I thought that was odd. It was almost like he was saying we don't have a prayer of getting a game tying FG so instead of calling timeouts, our whole game is going to be based on a stop here. A stop that quite frankly, was not going to be likely with Beast mode coming (and more than one crack at it).

They're a brash bunch, and I think it just blew their minds as they went from a "we just won this thing" to a holy crap we were just robbed of our win, in seconds. Still no excuse.

Especially when you've got Lynch. Holy crap their fans are probably losing their minds.

Best super bowl ever! Patriots basically lose (again) on a once in a million catch, then tragedy instead strikes Seattle w the pick. Wow!!!
