  1. What about her driver's licence and medical insurance cards, etc? A lot of those have a SS # printed on them. She might as well slacks exclusively and carry money in her front pockets. She'll need to live w/o makeup too.
  2. No surprise there. NC has the largest contingent of Bills fans outside of Buffalo.
  3. Can you please tell us what page it's on w/o having to provice a direct link to BZ?
  4. Bunch of girly men. What's so bad about beer all of a sudden?
  5. The recording industry is already screwing the artists over. They only give them a pittance for their album sales and have always done so. But you don't hear them complaining about it! Greedy corporations just want to keep it coming and further kick the artist in the face. Gigabit Ethernet is here to stay folks and it's something we all need. These companies would be better served to find better ways to protect copyrighted content and disseminate their product much more quicker to keep piracy at bay.
  6. He would be a candidate for the HOF if he hadn't been drafted by Cincinnati. What a waste of five years.
  7. Buffalo 24-20
  8. So no males on this board loves PUSSYcats?
  9. Vermeil has shown the NFL who the real genius was.
  10. Again I bring you this (I forgot to include the date, my bad): Rookie blocks punt, scores TD By Len Pasquarelli, ESPN.com CINCINNATI -- He is about the most unlikely-looking special teams player in the NFL, a 6-feet-4 and 328-pound behemoth who caught the attention of league scouts at the annual combine workouts, clocking an eye-opening 40-yard time of under five seconds. Fact is, Buffalo Bills rookie Jason Peters doesn't even have a real position yet, and no one seems to know when he will. Listed as a tight end, his long-term future might well be at offensive tackle, given his size and quick feet. For now, though, Peters, activated from the practice squad last month, is basically a special teams player. And for now, acknowledged Peters, who had one of the game-altering plays in Sunday's 33-17 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, that is plenty. "As long as I'm helping out in some way, as long as people feel like I belong, that's good enough for me," said Peters, who blocked a first-quarter Cincinnati punt, then chased the ball into the end zone, where he fell on it for his first NFL touchdown. "I'm just here to do what they tell me to do and to try to find my place." Finding a place on any NFL team's kickoff coverage and punt return units would be difficult for a player of Peters' physical dimensions. Getting playing time for Buffalo special teams coach Bobby April, one of the league's premier kicking games mentors, is doubly daunting. But in the four games in which Peters has been active, he has been able to make things happen. The Bills special teams have already tied a league record for most kick returns (five) for touchdowns in a season. Kickoff return specialist Terrence McGee, with three scores and a likely spot on the AFC Pro Bowl squad, is an emerging star. Punter Brian Moorman is superb as is coverage man Coy Wire. And now the special teams, and April, have uncovered another (albeit unlikely) threat. Until the Buffalo offensive staff finds a home for Peters, with a decision not likely until the mini-camp sessions next spring, April is more than happy to provide him work. The former University of Arkansas tight end, who went undrafted despite his mind-boggling combine performance and signed with Buffalo as a college free agent, is a physical freak. Guys his size aren't supposed to move so quickly, to have this kind of flexibility, to be running down under kickoffs as a wedge-buster. But after watching Peters in practice, April knew he could blend him into the special teams mix if coach Mike Mularkey ever decided to move the rookie to the active roster. "We would use him against our own people in practice and, I'll tell you what, he just wore them out," said April. "We put him in the middle and our deep snapper hated to work against him. He'd go down and collapse the 'wedge' on kickoffs, I mean taking on three or four guys. He's big, he's tough, he's kind of an aberration. But, hey, he's our aberration, and I love it." Peters is also, apparently, a quick study, as evidenced by Sunday's blocked punt. April didn't necessarily do anything special in preparing for Cincinnati punter Kyle Larson. It wasn't as if there was some tell-tale videotape tipoff that suggested Buffalo might be able to get to Larson who, April conceded, doesn't not have a particularly slow get-off time on his kicks. Instead, the blocked punt came primarily because Peters made an adjustment. Jason Peters, middle, is surrounded by teammates after scoring his first TD. On the first Cincinnati punt of the game, Peters attempted to get into the backfield with a bull-rush technique, and was stymied. On the second, he opted for a "swim" move, a technique more often associated with pass-rushers, and slipped inside the block. Once into the backfield, he laid out his body, extended his right hand, and made contact, with the ball careening back into the Cincinnati end zone. Peters out-raced several teammates to pounce on the ball for the score. "What I liked," said April, "was that he was textbook in everything he did. A lot of guys will break through and won't lay out or extend their body. You've got to lay out and try to pick a spot where you'll intersect with the ball and that's what Jason did. It was a great play, really, and it demonstrated just how athletic the guy is." Then again, special teams are characteristically filled with excellent athletes, all over the league. What sets Peters apart is his enormous size and the physical torque he generates when he gets all 328 pounds moving with such velocity. At least twice on Sunday, it was obvious that Cincinnati blockers on kickoffs wanted nothing to do with him. "The first time guys see me running down under a kick, I'm sure they're thinking that it's some kind of mistake," said Peters, who has five special teams tackles in five games. "You can kind of see their eyes get big. I don't think they really want a piece of me when I'm rolling at full speed." http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/columns/stor..._len&id=1949716
  11. Looking at those columns, we put up better numbers than Wash and are ranked #2?!
  12. That's ok. We still got him for at least one more year. After this one.
  13. I don't agree. You're being paid millions NOT to make mistakes. This guy just keeps doing this repeatedly.
  14. Who gives a sh--. He doesn't play here anymore. I guess his performance was tantamount to saying our line really sucked. Which it did. When he's protected and gets time to throw, things happen for him.
  15. No, I think the Texans made the adjustment to put an extra guy in the secondary because JP was in a roll in the first half. His completion percentage was in the high 80's if I'm not mistaken. Willis isn't going to torch you for 40 yards gains repeatedly but JP can.
  16. We just need to double cover Crumpler in 3rd down passing situations all nite and we'll be fine.
  17. Sorry but our line deserves alot more blame than people here are willing to give. Dallas knows how to pickup the blitz and block 1 on 1 exceptionally well.
  18. I didn't get to see the game other than highlights. So how did these two guys look to those of you who attended or watch live? Are they back all the way? JP is going to need them against Tampa.
  19. Send Fez a PM. Or someone else who doesn't have a full plate to TiVo it.
  20. We have to run the ball better in the 1st half. Willis must have holes to run thru and ease the pressure off of JP.
  21. Doesn't matter about the particulars. You can bet that Josh messed it up regardless. I just hope the coaching staff doesn't coddle him and make further excuses for him. He needs to play like a pro or get cut!
  22. I did on other threads. We'll need to convert these opportunties with 6 points against the Bucs, etc.
  23. Is NBC desperate?
