Chris Berman says, "STOP MOVING AROUND!" And in case you missed it, the slip up from Jaws: MNF 9/12 NSFW

Did you see their attendance for the 4th preseason game? It was ridiculous! The stands were as crowded as a playoff game! I wonder if the support would be the same if they had 11 straight years of missing the playoffs...? It's always easier to root for and support a winner...

Biggest "trap" game on the schedule this week?
Brand J replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
His profile may read, "rookie" but his join date indicates he was around 5 years before you... -
Yep. There's a reason why Jason Peters remained a TE until the final cuts - he would've been too raw as an OL, but not raw enough where another team wouldn't have realized his potential. Peters wasn't ready to step in, even as a RT, but there's always a team out there in worst shape. A team that would be willing to invest the time if a project shows great potential. This is why I believe Jasper was hidden at the DT position. He showed next to nothing, yet made it to the final cuts AND the practice squad. I have to believe the coaching staff saw his potential as an OL much earlier than a few days ago...

This actually makes perfect sense. Jasper knew very little and produced even less at DT, yet made it to the final cuts. The FIRST practice after cut down day, the coaching staff immediately gets an epiphany and realizes, "Jasper's best position is probably on the offensive side of the ball." There was no epiphany ladies and gentlemen. Realizing he'd be raw, the Bills didn't work him at OL from day 1, because he would've taken a roster spot away from someone who was more NFL ready. Why would he have made the 53? Because he no doubt would have showed more promise and had better production, if he had played his college position (OG), rather than playing DT. In essence, the Bills didn't allow the rest of the league to see if he had any promise on the OL. This works directly in their favor.

Everyone seems to say the Brett Favre hit was Moats best play of the season. It wasn't, it's just the most noteworthy due to the other party involved. His best play was when he beat all pro LT Jake Long to strip Chad Henne of the football. Said Moats, "I watched some of the things he did on film and thought I could take advantage out there. It was a big play." Does Kelsay beat Jake Long on any given day? Ever?

It's politics in sports and it's disgusting.

Anthony Gray or Lionel Gates? They both set the world on fire.

Thanks for the tip Exiled, although I lack the $$$ to make this happen. Hopefully there won't be any more 8" rainy days!

Chris Johnson signs big deal per Schefter
Brand J replied to EasternOHBillsFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This obviously makes him the highest paid running back in the league and will affect the contracts of other top runners, but how does it compare to what he was asking? He originally wanted top 5 money, REGARDLESS of position! Did he achieve his wish? There's no way I would've gave him that much coin and furthermore, he will inevitably be hurt going against guys who are in football shape. It happens almost every time an athlete tries to push himself, before he is conditioned to return... -
Hurricane Katia is on her way to the states. Too early to tell which direction she will go, but hopefully it's not the East Coast again! Hurricane Katia - Accuweather.com

I was going to complain about my laborious 10 hour shift in rescuing my basement apartment from going under and then I saw these photos... Carrying a 5 gallon bucket of water up 7 stairs, 20 times per hour for 10 hours, is much better than what these people have had to endure! These pictures were from Saybrook St and Croft Pl in Staten Island, NY.

Edwards... At least Losman had a 3000+ yard season and 19 TDs. If I had to choose between two failures at QB, I'd pick the guy who chucks it down the field, rather than the one who pushes it 2 yards. Lee Evans knew JP was the better QB for his game and publicly advocated for him to start. None of this matters now, Fitz is the man!

Can a bust on one team be a star on another?
Brand J replied to cage's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Welker was an UDFA and was cut by the Chargers after the first game of the season I believe. -
It's interesting to see everyone's taste in women. I like the Italian look and although #13 isn't my favorite on this list, she still gets a special shout out from me since no one had mentioned her. Nice.

Haha. I'm one of the rare non-drinkers that inhabit this world. Thanks all for the love, I figured we could use a laugh.

A flash of blue and a hint of red, as a player in white streaks by, An oblong ball meets the tip of a shoe, welcome to One Bills Drive. Hopes and cheers emanate from a crowd, the opening game underway, A legion of men, clad in helmets and pads, determined to win on this day. A charging Buffalo froths at the mouth, as steam ejects from his nose, The opposing team? Done. Frightened with fear, hardly a worthy foe. An army of cleats stir a cloud of dust and three hours later it's over, Visibility improves, the scoreboard is proof: “Oh how did I watch this $#!t sober?!” One game in the books, the men fought hard, but the opposition was strong, “We'll get 'em next year” sing the die-hards, lyrics to their favorite song. A Bills fan requires patience and faith, but more importantly, two pills for the headache, A masochistic mentality, an aversion to reality, a fear of impending heartbreak. I Hate That I Love This Team GO BILLS! -Jai Brandon

McKelvin should be on his way to a team that could give us a young promising OL. Aaron Williams is ready to play and gain experience, he can't do that being the 5th corner on a team deep at that position. I'd be surprised if McKelvin isn't secretly on the trading block...

I'd offer Leodis McKelvin at the most. Nothing more.

Did Chris Brown change his blog? Levitre is taking reps with the 1st team at LT... http://blogs.buffalobills.com/2011/08/22/levitre-still-on-the-move/

Tonight was EASILY his worst half as a professional. Von Miller and Elvis Dumerville ran circles around him.

Jets offer Maybin one year deal.
Brand J replied to lets_go_bills's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
In all seriousness, if I were Maybin, I would take a year off from football and work solely on my body. I would get in the 250-260 range, hire a former NFL OLB coach, and go through OLB drill after drill in preparation for the next season. I'd also watch video of those I compare to (Jason Taylor), to see if there was anything I could pick up from them. -
Should be an interesting 1st quarter in Denver
Brand J replied to eball's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I also heard Elway mention how Derrick Thomas used to pose such a huge threat. He wanted someone in that mold who could get after the QB like DT. If the Broncos already had a DL that was able to stop the rush, Von Miller would make much more sense in that situation. Just run, run, run on the Broncos and Von Miller becomes an afterthought. Wrong call Elway. -

Haha, yeah... Dareus already has all of those qualities. -

Jasper is super athletic, strong, and powerful, unfortunately he's raw as an onion. He lacks technique, experience, and the instincts of playing DT. He may already possess the instincts to play the position, but his skill and technique in beating an OL will take some time. Hope he makes it.
