  1. Kiko made Simon allow microscopes back in
  2. You did a 'lot of research' in 18 minutes ? ?
  3. Whifner ! ha ha. That was good. Can't wait for Bill in NYC and 4merper4mer to chime in on this Jokes apart, I don't get the desire for celebrities to change their names.
  4. I am not sure we have evidence to support his frame of mind and his strong intent to play as you have portrayed above. I am not being saracastic - I truly havent heard anything to support (or refute) this point of view
  5. Franchising him again and running the risk of proverbial 'boo boo foot' can hurt both sides: - Jairus sits and lets his body get out of shape/skill - Jairus loses potentially (more) money if he signed - FO gets distracted from other personnel decisions and negotiations - Bills spend money with no return - Potential bad blood in the locker room While I understand your reasoning behind taking a hard line, I am hoping Parker and Byrd realize they have much to lose and little to gain in the long run.
  6. Notice also how EJ is portrayed as a nice and polite guy. I kinda like that.
  7. I was scared to not vote for Kiko
  8. New one is up: http://profootballmock.com/facebookchat/nfl-qbs-facebook-intervention/ Not too great today
  9. Not denying Gailey is a good OC. But its way too early to judge Hackett. He has a rookie QB, one rookie WR, down at least 2 players on the OL and trying to figure out how it all is going to come together. We saw progress today with slower tempo. I expect to keep seeing better things. IMHO, it is not fair to compare a rookie OC with a seasoned veteran.
  10. Geno Smith takes the cake for the most wtf play of this week. Backed up deep in his Jets territory, with pressure in his face, Geno decides to switch ballfrom his right hand to left, behind his back. Gets hit, loses the ball and Titans recover n EZ for TD. Flub of the week.
  11. What do you mean ? QB gives himself up, defender smacks him. And its a terrible call ?

  13. Didn't think I was serious did you ? Not speaking for Simon here (well actually I am taking that liberty), I doubt you will get a warning for simply being clueless. It is how you express your opinion, the level of dialog, courtesy and acceptance of opposing points of view that really matter. I wouldn't let a warning stifle your need to state your point of view if you stay within the board's terms of behavior.
  14. Can I report the OP for intimidation ? (I kid, I kid. O Dear Sweet Lord, what have I done ?)
  15. Looks like resume builder for the Bills job in 2015
  16. What was wrong with this thread? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/162067-winfield-may-return-to-nfl-in-right-situation/#entry2923087
  17. Much as I would love to see the Pats* beaten, I am not sure the Bucs are the team to beat them at this time. Pats* will go 3-0. As for the Jets, I have a recurring feeling that this will be a blowout in favor of the Bills. Final margin will be at least 17 points and that too because of a garbage time TD by the Jets. Other out-on-a-limb predictions: - They will double team Mario but he will get one sack. - Lawson and Alonso will have spend their time holding Billel for losses - Bills will come out throwing (I have stated earlier that the early part of the game will be key to the overall success of the O. If Manuel hits a couple of deep ones early, expect the Jets to never recover) - Geno will throw 2 INTs, one of them being a pick-6 Doesn't get any more homerish than this, does it ?
  18. She was a supporter of media personnel in general. There was a thread where posters were particularly harsh with one of them who posted here. While she felt it was going on for a while, that thread was the proverbial straw that broke the camel's back. She stated her displeasure, commented on the viciousness of some posters and vowed to never return. Big loss, I miss her pre-game posts the most.
  19. Aw come on now. I like the spirit and the enthusiasm. Then again, I like anything playing up the Bills
  20. The key is sustaining drives on offense not necessarily the pace itself. If the O works at a fast clip and continues getting first downs, the opposing D is going to be really gassed allowing more scoring opportunities at the end of those drives. There may be some situations where slowing down may be valid but in general, I am not against the quick pace per se
  21. Very good. Looks like players on both sides of the ball are playing well and smart footboall. Credit the coaching.
  22. The base QBR and this rating both have EJ at about the same ranking which is good. He is in elite company on that list and ahead of several recent 1 rounders. Encouraging signs for sure. Is there room to improve for EJ ? Absolutely. But I would like to think it is due to a by-design conservative game plan to limit mistakes and allow him to get his feet wet. So far so good.
  23. Bills on Offense: - Jets have a good D allowing only 241 yds/game. Their pass and run D both appear to be good. - They will take out the short to med routes and challenge EJ to go deep. Early part of the game will be critical - EJ has to take deep shots. If EJ wants to be respected for the deep ball, this would be a great game to start. This will ease the pressure and allow more runs and checkdowns - Cromartie is good and Milliner looks slow out of the gate. Stevie should be able to get the better of Cromartie. - IN additiion to deep ball, sideline routes should be ripe pickings also. This is a good gut check time for EJ with both these routes - I think Hackett and EJ are picking Pettine's brain about how Ryan is likely to think on defense Bills on D: - Jets have given up 9 sacks and I don't expect that rate to change much. We should be able to get to Geno due to his reported happy feet. As with most raw QBs, hitting him early will pay dividends - You can bet Pettine is fired up and will dial up exotic pressure packages - Their run O seems non existent and almost RB by committee All in all, we need to dominate in the first quarter and if EJ plays mistake-free football, we should coast in this game with a score that looks like 30-17
