1- Peggy would always remember how her mother told her she was "born with a pom pom in her hand"
2- Like mother like daughter
3- The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
4- Touchdown sends woman into premature labor
-
We also lead in Points scored and TD's
+1, beat me to it!
-
With Parish out for probably a while. Why not try to grab T.O. He would grab more attention for Stevie to make more plays along with our up and coming WR core. I think he would come back to Buffalo. What do you all think? One season contract 2 Million? Ralph's got the coin.
NO

Chan is a freaking witch with the half time adjustments.
That's his new nickname as far as I'm concerned. Chan "Warlock" Gailey
-
I guess Aaron Williams in the 2nd wasn't as bad as a lot of us thought it was! Makes me think Buddy knows what he's doing.
Another thing I love about the FO is they aren't afraid to start UDFAs and late round picks over higher drafted players. Normally I'd be pessimistic and say "yeah, but that's cause our team is so bad, we start guys off the street", but players like Jones are actually being effective against other teams. This team has a lot of upside.

Great HS player, top rated OL coming out, but never lived up to the recruiting hype. Saw every one of his college games at ND. He was a good, but far from great player. If I were to choose one word to describe him it would be SOFT.
Really? I don't know I'd go that far. I'd say was simply decidedly average. No terrible flaws, but no real areas of great strength.
-
Ah.. Skepticism.. What a shock. Look he's not an everydown linebacker, apparently people can't read?
Anyway, try and stop a 400 pound man with a motor if he has 3 - 4 steps to get going? I don't see how you stop him? It's not like he will drop back into coverage.. Sheesh..
Tim-
Not skepticism, incredulity. Don't be snarky cause you had a dumb idea and people shoot it down.
-
Ugly, should have been sacked 3x
-
Wooohoooo! I'm on my Stevie Johnson!
-
Hey what was our starting OL alignment? I missed the first drive and just wasn't paying attention last one.
Is it: Bell, Levitre, Wood, Urbik, Pears?
-
You left one off...
People will roll their eyes and mock anyone concerned with our offense which has been bad in all preseason games and not exactly stellar in camp either and just boast about how its preseason and it means nothing.
Yeah. But I count myself in that group, so I thought I'd be a hypocrite and not insult MYself.

FYI, posting things like this in an open forum are more likely to lead to those sites getting shut down. Especially if the person making the request has a total of 3 posts since 2006.

The biggest reason, though, has been the play of the first-team offense in the preseason. Everything you mentioned would have been forgiven had they looked even close to competent.
I understand that. I truly do. Offense, especially the offensive line, is the one group that benefits most from time together. Missing OTAs and mini-camps adversely affected more than just UDFAs as most journalists would have you believe. The fact is, in getting larger up front, we essentially assured that only 2 players on the O-line would be returning to their old positions-Bell and Levitre. Urbik and Rhinehart haven't had a full offseason with the team, as they were mid-season acquisitions. The O-line is BOUND to look terrible this early in the year for that fact alone. Bell's play has been poor and that has created even more instability. You think this is the same old bad team? Look at the depth chart from 09. The year before Nix as GM and Chan as HC. I put stars next to the players currently starting for us at the same position.
QB- Trent Edwards, Fitz, Hamdan
RB- Marshawn Lynch, Fred Jackson, Dominick Rhodes
WR- Evans, TO, Josh Reed, Parrish
LT- *Bell, Chambers
LG- *Rookie Levitre
C- Geoff Hangartner
RG- Rookie Wood (went on IR)
RT- Langston Walker, Butler
TE- Derek Fine, Nelson, Schouman
DE- Denney, Kelsay,
DE- Schobel,
DT- Stroud, Johnson
DT- *Williams, McCargo
ILB- Pos, Thomas, Buggs
OLB- Ellison, Corto, Bowen
OLB- Mitchell, Palmer, Nic Harris
CB- *McGee, Harris,
CB- *McKelvin, Youboty
CB- *Florence, Langster
SS- Whitner, Wilson
FS- Ko Simpson, Bryan Scott
We have exactly 2 player on offense returning at their position as opposed to TWO years ago and that may become ZERO if Levitre replaces Bell at LT.
On D we have 4 people returning at their positions. Those 4 are playing, solid football.
All I'm saying is. PLEASE, give the FO the benefit of the doubt. There have been a LOT of changes and I think they're almost all for the best.
-
Prediction:
The Bills look sloppy and everyone freaks out.
Chan chuckles to himself that things never really change.
By week one half of the people on this board can't even remember that this game took place.
Continued...
1- Every time Pos makes a tackle, half the people on this board will whine that someone else paid him 7M a year to leave us. The other half will laugh about how it happened "10-15 yards down the field."
2- The offense will struggle and people will blame it all on the o-line, not impatient running or bad timing in route running.
3- People will talk about who will be starting at QB by X week after Fitz throws a single bad pass.
4- People will complain we didn't sign so and so, who we may have offered a boatload of money and just didn't want to play here anyway.

ive yet to see clear, hardcore evidence this franchise is trying to build a winning team. every few years its the same crap, team sucks, cant win, soo....hey lets get new uniforms, hey team sucks again, lets get new throwbacks to get the fans attention again, hey team sucks again big time, lets go out and sign T.O. to sell tickets and lets get white throwbacks and wear them twice, hey what do you know team sucks again....lets not draft for need lets draft the sexy player of the draft in spiller, ignoring the glaring needs of the team.....oh no, spiller sucks and team still sucks, hmmm...lets install a new field change the colors a little and get new uniforms cause sales took a huge hit....well teams gonna suck in 2011, so lets see what next year brings....thats TBD.
Did you watch the draft. Please spare me your ignorance. When he took over Buddy laid out his plan and he hasn't deviated from it.
1- He said we would build through the draft. That we wouldn't be a team likely to trade around our draft picks, but would always look to acquire more.
2- He said he's not looking to make big free-agent splashes and prefers to re-sign productive players.
3- He said the process would most likely take about 3 years and he understood that would frustrate people.
Last year they drafted for offense and those guys have yet to step up, but there's nothing that we can do about that. This year's draft was clearly predicated no fixing the defense and they have done that. The worst thing a franchise can do is hang on to and overpay players who has passed the prime of their careers, or never produced. We got rid of Whitner, Maybin and Evans this year because they were unlikely to surprise anyone with a productive year. I don't understand how 2 months ago people were saying we should get what we could for Lee, then turned around and acted like the sky was falling when we did.

Straight from the article:
"Regardless of anything else, I’m sorry to Merriman for causing him unnecessary grief, forcing major media outlets to investigate him further and causing anyone to question his character due to an inaccurate report. He’s worked hard to get ready for this season and deserves the unwavering support of all Bills fans....
For what it’s worth, I also apologize to the Buffalo fans....
Lastly and most importantly to me, I want to apologize to media members and some Bills players themselves that I know were let down."
They were near the bottom of the article and I count 3 apologies in there.
Anything he writes after this qualifier is not an apology:
"However, before going any further if for no other reason than my sanity—– what I published was NOT completely untrue. Though my erroneous coining of the word “steroids” is emphatically wrong, this was more than just the “routine” border incident most of us have experienced ourselves."
He's saying, yeah I lied and said steroids, but I wasn't really lying. He is apologizing so people will stop berating him on twitter (which they have not) and to try and salvage his "reputation" (which is non=existent). After all the swagger and bravado he was exhibiting on twitter after the article ran I'm not buying this. He obviously didn't realize he was going to catch so much hatred over writing this garbage, got flustered by it all and is hastily trying to get out of the doghouse. If you go to Chan's video interview on the official website, the one where he talks about Torbor to IR, Moran asks him a question and Gailey responds "we don't get to talk about that." Moran, immediately self-conscious for no reason asks "I don't get to talk about it?" and Gailey looks at him like he's growing a second head cause the response was so out of left field.
Eh, or maybe you're right. I don't know the guy, so I don't really feel the need to forgive him because I don't care about him as a person. I think he's slimy and disgusting and I'm not feeling bad for the crap he's taken or forgiving him just cause he asks for forgiveness after writing an article that had the potential to mess up someone's career and really screw the team.
-
Some people might bash him.....I commend him for writing this when a lot of hack journalists would just wait and hope the thing would blow over.....
This actually GIVES him some credibility in my eyes.....I am a big fan of character
Nowhere in that rambling, incoherent schlock, did I actually see an apology. All I read was a person standing on a soapbox and pretending to be magnanimous to all his haters by giving a half-assed justification for writing what he wrote. Hack writer, scumbag person (read his twitter post stating "if I'm lying may my eight-year-old daughter get hit by a car") and all-around loser.
-
I would like to see the numbers on which you based those calculations.
-
if we were bottom thre for 10 years we wouldnt have been picking in the mid range.
+1. We've been picking in the 8-12 range for years.
-
Moran is a scumbag; if for nothing else, for the tweet about his daughter. I'm never ready that crap publication of his again. For someone who is supposed to be an editor, he displays terrible writing skills and even worse scruples as a person.
-
Maybin is a joke. WE would love to line up against him. We could have Roscoe pancake block him from the slot and clear a running lane. He may be the weakest player in the NFL.

Well Adam Shefter is reporting something now...
http://twitter.com/#!/AdamSchefter
just saw this on twitter...
I got got by this for the 2nd time in 2 weeks
-
I posted the link merely because it substantiates (albeit weakly) what I am saying, and the "starting to break," was intended to be taken as the beginning of sites reporting it, not as sufficient proof by itself.
Dude we get it, you think you're a very special person. "I am very important, but I have so much integrity I can't really reveal everything that I know. However, I will still let you know that I know something so you can all see how important I am."
How about this: either state your little bit of info or shut up. I'm tired o everyone tooting their own horns around here
-
It's not just poor recovery, he supposedly has another injury altogether
If you think Bills fans are delusional...

Maybin was released weeks ago
