BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land

Yeah, I was hoping he would fall to the Bills (when they had a 2nd rounder). I think he's going to be a stud. Pats also have Graham who is an amazing blocker, but inconsistent reciever, generally.

I don't think it's going to be that long....I heard Lenny Clarke (he plays Uncle Teddy) on Boston radio and he said they start filming shortly, and then he starts shooting a show for next fall on another networl.

Watson was off to a nice start, before his injury. Honestly though Campbell and Euhus are both damn good blockers, and acceptable TEs. There are other issues I would like to see addressed (addition offensive lineman, linebackers for the future, secondary depth, etc).

Bryan Cox getting into it with Carwell Gardner, and getting thrown out of a game. He took off his helmet near the stands and was almost immediately pelted with 2 beers and a half eaten hotdog. Gardner later tried to board the Miami bus to fight Cox.

Yes, you got it right. Who cares what the ESPN guys think or pick? Sean Salisbury, who is nearly retarded and needs to concentrate just to keep breathing, picks against the Patriots nearly every week and they set a god damned record!

Sniffing glue?? That defense, despite a few nice weeks against stevestojantty offenses, is still attrocious, and cannot play in non-dome, peak conditions. If they go to Pittsburgh or NE they will get anhilated by superior defenses and true ball-control offense.

Agreed. I think there is a 0% chance of them resigning Edge, and they probably don't have the cap room to give Harrison the kind of bonus he will command on the open market. That defense still sucks, too despite a few nice games in a row. Your D can play a lot looser and better when you're up 2+ TDs.

All 4 of those teams have proven, productive backs (some more than 1), but have injury issues. Houston has Davis and Wells, AZ has Emmitt and Shipp, Carolina has Davis and Foster, Chicago has ATrain and Jones. A more likely candidate would be Indy who may well lose Edge, due to the salary-cap ramifications of the Manning contract and his stated desire to play near his home in FLA.

I am not seeing that at all. Marvin Harrison is a guy who gets buy on speed, and hands NOT his ability to go up/out/down to get a ball. Evans is more like a younger Troy Brown: speed, great hands, nice routes and an utter willingness not to let a ball get away from him.

A victory is not impossible, if Drew is efficient, and if the D can step up. For a supposed offensive genius, Billick has put together a god awful offense, Jamal Lewis aside.

He may be right, but Ron Hobson is a buffoon. His radio appearances are pure unintentional comedy gold.

It's called Coke. I suspect you are familiar.

True, dat. Drew has not been as good as I hoped, but this line blows.

I believe that other than Damien Woody, no player from the those O-lines was on the 2 Super Bowl lines. Matt Light was a draft pick, Mike Compton & Andruzzi were FA.

McKinnie gave up 11 sacks with a supposed "mobile" QB too. Too much is being made about Williams himself. The problem seems to be, from a non O-line expert, that as a unit these guys don't seem to be working together. Some of the better O-lines recently have not been the most dominant players but good working units (Denver, New England, Etc.).

These guys have hands of stone.

Peter King has had a hair across his ass against TD & the Bills for a while now, ever since they let his great source Flutie go. I like King, he has great contacts in the NFL, but he is an exceedingly lazy guy (constant mentions of his daughters' sports & coffee to fill column inches) who often talks out of his butt. I agree that Williams hasn't worked out, but that's one of the risks you take with a high draft pick (the Browns know this now). We're 2 games into the season, it's a bit early to write off the O-line. They have underperformed, but that doesn't mean the season is lost. Look back at week 4 last year, and the end of the season results.

If you start listening to the fans, sooner or later you're one of them.

I agree with you on Crennel, it wasn't his fault. It was just clear that the Bills were looking to bring in an offensive guy. But, my take on Weis is that TD may have been uncomfortable with Charlie's "gambler" persona. I watch a lot of Pats games, and Weis makes some really fakakta calls from time to time. They often work, like David Patten throwing a TD a couple years ago, but often they put the Pats in a worse position.

My take on Henry (my favorite Bills player since Kelly) is that he is ineffective right now. Part of it is him, he hasn't seemed as explosive or bruising as in the past. Part is the offensive scheme. They keep trying to get cute with him, and bounce him outside. He needs to be between the tackles, or in the near off-tackle to be effective. My 2 cents.

This is a rock solid Bills win. Miami may be the worst team in football right now. They can't do anything right. I was picking them at 3-13 this year, and I may have been overly optimistic.
