That's what you assume... Getting a first down would have served two purposes: 1) Getting Lindell in closer range. 2) Running the clock down to :03. There were still over 30 secs left when Lindell missed that kick. All Cleveland wouldve had to do is get into field goal range. Being a Bills fan, if you know anything you know that the seemingly impossible, is possible...

Also, when was the last time that Kelsay made a play? Who is this "Kelsay" that you speak of?? Does he play for the Bills? Seriously though, if his contract is not reworked at the end of this season, then he just needs to be cut. The contract that he signed in the first place should've been largely performance based. This team needs big, bad, mean, DEs in the worst way! Not $6-$7,000,000/year DEs who are light weight and generate little to no pressure.

Bruce Smith is the last DE that we've had who required 2 blockers. I cant recall the last time I saw Kelsay or Schobel double teamed. They both only have one pass rush move also - loop outside. When they try spinning back in ala Dwight Freeney, they are neutralized due to their lack of quickness. Also, neither are strong enough for the opposing LT/RT to take a bull rush seriously - leaving our high motor DEs with only one move: loop wide outside. We need a beast at DE, case closed...

What I dont understand is New York City's refusal to show a Bills game. Buffalo is more New York than the Jints/Jests yet they havent shown a Buffalo game the entire year Anyone know why they'd rather show games from across the nation, staying away from the regional Bills?

Or head over to the Bills bar in Manhattan - McFadden's and Calico Jacks. 42nd st and 2nd ave - It'll be my first time showing up on Sunday and they say that a couple hundred Bills fans come out to support the team.

Sigh... Was just dealt with one of my life's biggest blows - car just got stolen with pratically ALL of my clothes in it. In retrospect, it was incredibly stupid to load my car with my clothes (moving off of Staten Island) prior to leaving. If anyone is in the NYC area - maybe Staten Island specifically, look out for a dark green 1995 Toyota Camry - license plate T65 VBP. If you come across it, please call the police ASAP!! I am one of the last people that can afford this kind of setback at the moment

What 115 idiots rated the offense's performance as a D?! Have they been watching Bills football anytime within the last 14 years?!?!?!

Meh, looks like he's only running at 1/4 speed.

I agree, that first picture is ridiculously smooth. Post it on city-data.com, I think they give away stuff to the top pictures (I think).

Was Stroud and Schobel playing earlier?

Which defensive starters didnt start the game?

Hope to see a lot of that this year. Our achilles heal last year for sure.

To evaluate his worth to the team. No better time to find out than against other teams in the preseason...

People chill out!! It's only the first plays of the first drive of the first preseason game!

Anyone in Bills land have any experience with getting individuals to sign petitions? The one I'm involved with is asking to decrease the politicians salary in Lansing, MI by 25% and also drop their health care and benefits down to a level that is more consistent with the average MI resident. I have found that the Secretary of State Office can't order you to leave, so that is where I make my post on most days. Does anyone else have any great suggestions for locations to petition? I tried outside of the United States Post Office, but they claimed that the property was private and not public (I believe they're lying, I just dont know where to go to find the law). Are college universities fair game? Any help would be appreciated...

It wasnt really "surprisingly". JP had something to prove going into the game and I fully expected him to play well against the Bungles pass defense.

When does the over/under on victories come out in Vegas? If its anything like last year (over/under 6 wins), then Im putting a nice sum of cash on the fellas... Also, is it a 2-1 payout (Put down $1000 get back $2000)?

1st team all SEC and 2nd team All American G Robert Felton will supplant him. No worry, Puke Preston is on his way out...

I sure hope so. C and TE remain our biggest weaknesses.

I guess I dont share the same love for Donte Whitner as everyone else does... 1) Lynch 2) Evans 3) Parrish 4) Poz 5) Peters

30 sacks from the DE position?!?! From our current group of DEs?? 40 sacks from the DLine alone?? DreamOnDan...

The 2000 NFL Draft was by far the worst in recent memory: Rd. #1 - DE Erik Flowers Rd. #2 - FS Travares Tillman Rd. #3 - OLB Corey Moore Rd. #4 - WR Avion Black Rd. #5 - RB Sammy Morris Rd. #6 - DT Leif Larsen Rd. #7 - WR Drew Haddad Rd. #7 - OLB Dashon Polk

In that video, his separation from the DBs looked a lot like Lee Evans when Evans was in Wisconsin.

Haha, I remember that show. I was around 6 or 7 when it was on the air - 1986/1987 somewhere around there; isnt that correct? Everybody sing along - "Memories..."

Plucked this off of the buffalobills.com messageboard. I hope this story is false, and who is Pauline?!?! 2 new teams interested in Briggs - The Bidding wars begin -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- According to Scout.com Angelo wants more from the Skins and two new teams have made offers Here's the latest according to Pauline's sources: Angelo trying to get more out of the Redskins The trade offer on the table would send Briggs and the Bears' first-round draft pick – No. 31 overall – to Washington in exchange for the Redskins first-rounder at No. 6. Briggs' representative, Drew Rosenhaus, has been running his mouth to anyone who will listen that this is a good move for both teams, but Angelo is not about to let an agent and a disgruntled player force his hand. According to Pauline, Angelo is also asking for linebacker Rocky McIntosh, Washington's second-round selection a year ago, to sweeten the pot. McIntosh would be an instant replacement for Briggs and the Redskins actually traded up last year to get him, but owner Daniel Snyder has been know to away draft picks like Kleenex. Bills need to replace Spikes and Fletcher-Baker Buffalo has been very active in the trade market this offseason, sending tailback Willis McGahee to Baltimore for a slew of draft picks before packaging linebacker Takeo Spikes and quarterback Kelly Holcomb to Philadelphia for defensive tackle Darwin Walker. Linebacker London Fletcher-Baker left for the aforementioned Redskins via free agency, so the Bills have major holes to fill at that position. Pauline has learned that Buffalo is offering their pick in the first round – No. 12 overall – to the Bears for Briggs, although Angelo would have to include another selection in return for that deal to happen. This potential trade could pick up some steam because Buffalo is coached by former Bears front man Dick Jauron, who Briggs played for as a rookie. Giants also in need of serious help at linebacker New York currently has openings at both outside linebacker positions, having cut both LaVar Arrington and Carlos Emmons in the offseason. Antonio Pierce is the only `backer the G-Men have with a legitimate NFL resume, plus their defense was absolutely ravaged by injuries last season. Pauline reports that the Giants have offered their spot in Round 1 – No. 20 overall – to the Bears for the durable Briggs, although this deal would technically have less appeal than the other two according to the draft value chart. Angelo would probably much rather pick 20th in the first round as opposed to 6th or 12th because of the money involved, but New York will have to offer more for this swap to happen. Apparently the Bears message board is buzzing over the news and is in favor of sending Briggs here for the #12 straight up... Im tired of hearing about the Bills rumored in all of these trade proposals... keep the draft picks and build from within - no huge money to another team's disgruntled player!!
