One minor action that had a big impact was Fletcher's dumb move of kicking the ball after the Jimmy Smith catch, which resulted in a penalty which stopped the clock. If he didn't do that, at least 10 seconds would have come off the clock as the players lined up, and the Jags would have had at least 2 less plays at the end. A dumb move by a veteran.
I wonder if he made that move because it didn't appear the defense was set, so he tried to buy some time. If there were 10 less seconds, likely Jax would have used their last time out after I believe it was whe nthe ygot there last first down.

Hadn't heard anything about that play. Was it drawn up to be a backward pass, or was Moulds supposed to have two steps forward, thus if play doesn't work, it would just be an imcomplete? My guess is it was supposed to have been a forward pass, same play as they ran later in game??

And who is that kicker they should have got that was available as a free agent? I'm not a big Lindell fan, but when you look around the league at how many teams constantly switch kickers, I'm not sure there were many better options available. Re-signing Hollis certainly wasn't the answer as he was out for year. So who's the better choice?
Kickers are like QB's. There are 32 teams in the league and about a dozen really great ones. Unfortunately the rest of the teams deal with the best they can find.

I thought I heard the announcers state Shelton was covered. I was watching the game on TV, but I think at that point, I was listening to audio on radio. Believe it was stated he wwas covered, but I thought same thing too watching on TV.

Let me know when you get the refund. Will be waiting for that to happen! While I agree it would have been nice for them to have made the game available, they didn't and I'm sure because of contract issues. I'll guarentee you that the contract with the NFL is air tight and you're not going to get a refund becaue the games tape delayed. There are different number of games on each week on Sunday Ticket. For example this week there will be one less game becaue of Thursday game. If you don't wan to watch a tape delayed game, very simply watch a diferent one.

I can understand that they 're not able to show it live, but I'd think the sponsers in any cities showing in Sunday, As someopne mentioend, Greensboro, would want a big refund. Who's gonna watch thta. Everyone will be watching the Fox game instead.

They have to be active for I believe it's 10 games to not be eligible for practice squad.

Quote from Jay Glazer's column
The thing I didn't know about Bills camp
Believe it or not, just five miles from where they train lurks one of the country's top barbecue stops. The renowned biker bar and blues stop Dinosaur Bar-B-Q is a must hit for anyone in or near Rochester, N.Y. They have live blues nightly and a horde of Harleys protects the front of the place. The giant, cheesy dinosaur that towers over the roof and the bikers may make some hesitant, but trust me folks, the food is definitely worth the bar fight.
This place is permanently on my list of spots to hit every year. Actually, the sauce is so awesome it's worth getting some flown to the Big Apple for me to smother everything I eat with.
One of my favorite local places to go for rigs too!!

Plus Christie 3 years ago was terrible on kick offs too. Lindell seems to have improved in that area this year so far.
Personally I'd like to see them use Mormon a few times on kick offs just to save Lindells leg for end of season. Not too much to tire Mormans leg out, but maybe 20% of time just ot keep Lindell's leg fresh. Then again, if we don't score much, his leg will stay nice and fresh for one kick off per game!

Maybe for the past two years Teague had to play with one eye on the guy in front of him and one eye on the guy Purcillo was trying to block!

The problem with the offensive line theory is in the spring of 2003, we had a number of young who appeared to be up and coming lineman. Sullivan looked good the year before and improving. Brown wasn't expected to be gone in a year. And you had two apparent bookend tackles. So if you used that pick on a guy like Steinbach, it might have been used on a guy was going to sit the bench. (Or another talented player was going to sit)
At the time the Bills line had guys who could all be all pros in a couple years or out of football. You just didn't know. At the time, the only position that you definelty had a need to plug a new guy in at starter was def end. And they basically got the same guy with a second rounder.
I looked at the WM pick as "found money" since they got the pick from Atlanta on a guy who they were likely going to lose anyway. So it was worth taking a bit of a risk on it . IF and I realize it's still a big IF, WM can go back to his pre-injury talent, that pick will be come the best steal for the Bills since another injured running back was taken by the name of Thurman Thomas.

Don't think you can cut a guy who's hurt without an injury settlement. So either way will cost money. I think they may keep Brown for now, but oif other injuries develop and they need the spot, he could be cut in a couple of weeks.
Agree. Matthews has started 20+ NFL games and had pretty good stats to boot.It's always tough to cut a guy because of an injury, but Brown looked mediocre at best this camp. If he had to come in for DB, the game would essentially be lost anyway. I think Matthews can probably run a scaled-down offense better than Brown can run the full playbook, if it comes down to that.
The most graceful way out would be to put Brown on IR and give him a year's salary. But in the cold, heartless world of the salary cap, this probably couldn't be justified.
If Matthews looks at all effective on Thursday, I think Brown might be a casualty.

We had one of the top coverage units in the league last year. So what has changed ot all of a sudden make it below average, besdies one bad game? Yes they were bad Saturday, but I don't see any other reason t obelieve it will continue. Lindell seems to be kicking better than last year including longer on kick offs.
There were many people last year who were claiming the Bills should have moved up in draft to get one of the "big three" QB's that would have been a top 10 pick. What's wrong with using a top 10 pick on Losman? And you get to bring him in a year early.
The special teams are well below average. You can bet that Lindell WILL cost them a close game or two. The defense is going to have a tremendous amount of pressure on it, and will be on the field a ton. I wouldn't be surprised to see them take a step back themselves. And just to put the cherry on top of this optimism, our top 10 first rounder next year belongs to Dallas!
I think Matthews allows more decending opinions than most call in shows. Not that I necessarily agree with him always, but he allows many varied opinions to be given.
-
As someone stated, you already have 8 players each wek on the inactive squard. So both Brown and Losman will be in active until ready.
If three weeks into the season we have 3 or 4 other people get injured and need to sign someone, for example a kicker or punter, one of these guys could still end up on IR for the year.
For now keping all four is OK!

If you cut him after June 1st, you're adding to the 05 cap, not reducing it. Right now his entire cap hit is/was taken in 04. After June 1st, half would be 04 and half 05. Considering you have three guys hitting free agency market in 05, it makes more sense to take the hit this year. You'd also need to look at the Bills total cap structure to make any determination of that, not base it one guy.
funny you should ask BB.......for starters, he shouldn't have released ruben before june 1st......i said it at the time and was shouted down with "we have lots of cap room, no worries" comments..........with that much dead money left on the contract, it made more sense to spread it out over two years OR keep ruben around for one more season to lower the dead cap hit in '05.........
Also if TD is cheap as posters have stated, then why are we only 1 mil under cap? Cheap teams like Cinncy for years were 10 to 15 mil under.
TD just isn't jumping to pay these guys right now. Considering hpw much Jennings has been nicked up it makes sense to wait on him. Williams is getting older, so unless he plays way above past years, his value may go down by waiting. The only one that may go up with another good year is Schobel.

Internet access has been fine, but seems like the mail server has been down alot lately.

There really are very few "bad ass's" in the Olympic's except for Allen Iverson and the female weight lifters.
That is the most discusting sport to watch!

If you note his sig, Unix geek, he's implying that Windows is just a "kids" program. If you need something powerfuul obvious according to him, yuo'd use Unix. Unix is a fery powerful program, that is rather on the complicated side, so is only used by geeks like him.
It's sort of in the same boat as Mac's. Everyone says how great they atre, but no one uses them anymore as they prefer popular priced, mainstream solutions!

With Free Agency today, you don't get three years just to make it as a special teams ace. Not saying he is or isn't gonna get cut, but doubt he'll be kept strickly on how he might develp as special teamer.
Coy Wire will be fine!Neither Tasker nor Pike we're Special teams Ace after 2 years...
In the NFL, the 3rd year is the magic one....
If Wire doesn't cut it this year, he'll be out next year...
But, as of right now, Imho, he'll make the team as our backup at SS, and might break out as a special teams ace...
Keep the faith, people!

Hell, I don't even think that would cover the installation. I'd guess add at least one zero, and maybe multiply by two!
