  1. I too would like to extend an atta boy to him. I wanted him to prove himself and at least on this occasion, he did.
  2. I am not sure about who but I see another RB being added. Not to challenge FJax and Spiller but as insurance/relief.
  3. IMHO, the cheap and short deal that he accepted pretty much tells me he was getting little to no interest from the rest of the league even for the #2 QB position. Even in Buffalo, he is stated by Nix as challenging for the #2 spot ergo he was hired as a #3QB. This is quite the fall from grace for a once Pro Bowl QB. The coaches and FO may really mean that they intend for him to firmly be in the #2 spot at best but will the fans believe it ? Will the media, always looking for some controversy, let the situation be as is if Fitz has a couple of poor games ? The risk to me is not in his ability, it is the likely drama that may happen in the media and among fans
  4. Can you imagine the probability of all these occuring - a Yugo owner + still running or kept a pile of metal with them + Bills Fan + member of TBD + reading your post + admitting to it
  5. The Bears should pick him up and complete their trifecta - Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffrey and BEdwards
  6. If the world is going to end, why bother getting to the playoffs ? j/k Better this way than the other way around
  7. Just to be clear - if we give you the benefit of doubt, you are saying that the VY to Buffalo deal will be announced by Friday morning May 11th. Right?
  8. My comment wasn't meant to take away the fact that it is a very good film (not that you implied I did). I just thought that while I would give it an enthusiatic 4 out of 5, a more innovate plot and development would have pushed it over into great territory. Again, IMHO the slight watering down was intentional.
  9. With an agent like that across the proverbial negotiating table, I would think Buddy would want to drag out the haggling. Back to OP, good news. Get them all signed quick so we can get down to playing.
  10. Went to UB till 1991 then worked in Warren, PA and now in Carol Stream, IL (a suburb of Chicago)
  11. He will be better served if he Googled 'baby sitter'
  12. You are one pessimistic individual. So you want to wait till after the success happens to be happy ? I likely speak for most of the fans here in that we enjoy the journey and hope for a rosy destination. Isn't it a given that every team is either better or worse on paper only at this point ?
  13. I enjoyed the movie but did not think it was great due to one main reason - weak script. I am willing to give Whedon the benefit of doubt and think he melllowed the story to accommodate the various individual plot lines running in parallel. That way it makes the movie more accessible to the average watcher. A strategy which has obviously worked considering the worldwide box office take. Jay has already told you about your question, but here are more details.
  14. First they said the good news is that <listed all the positives of FJax> and then they said the bad news part is .... that they cannot think of anything negative to say about FJax or the extension. Or how they cannot imagine any BIlls fan not liking this deal. Kinda lame ...
  15. Unfortunately, some of us have streaming blocked at this pesky little occupation called work
  16. Way too long, sir. Feels longer this off-season than most in the recent past.
  17. Jackson extension is confirmed via Bill text message. All, I can say is - the FO rocks this off-season. 2 year extension To answer a question regarding FJax's undrafted status and how he worked out for Buffalo after bouncing around the league. “ It is not an exact science, this thing that we do – scouting” - Buddy Nix
  18. But then he would be infringing on Alex Tanney territory.
  19. Let us hope he produces because we really badly need production from our WR corps. Easley and TJ are two big question marks around which the success of the O hinges. “I could run, jump, throw, catch, I could throw the ball like 70 yards when I was 13 years old." Flea flicker - here we come. One way to avoid Fitz attempting deep throws I suppose. Only problem is that TJ is also the most likely target of said deep throw.
  20. Which means a few of them will be kicked to the curb prior to opening day. Best thing this collection of cast-offs have is the guy throwing to them.
  21. Strange thing is that Rose has been out for a lot of games this season and the Bulls have done well in them. The bench was supposed to be a strength but something the Sixers were doing totally deflated the confidence and morale of the team in the second half. I do hope the Bulls bounce back and make this competitive but even if they do beat the Sixers (big IF), they will be skewered by the Heat. Peace.
  22. I don't think he was talking about the Avengers.
  23. Well, as a guy rooting for the Bulls, it was a very frustrating 15-20 minutes of basketball. The Sixers seemed to change their attack scheme and defense to which the Bulls had no answer (disclosure - I am not an expert on basketball). Once they went on something like a 12-0 run early in the second half, the Bulls just seemed to give up. Turnovers, missed shooting... The 3rd Q was a total disaster and the 4th was just a long wait to get on the bus. I officially hate you from here on out.
  24. I agree fully about the lack of proven WRs on the squad. Besides Fitz himself, WRs potentially will limit how far we go this year. Having said that, I don't think TO still has 'it'. He may have the desire and work ethic but I think age has caught up with him. Also, I cannot forget some critical drops he had in his last few games for the Bills. Hence, I am not in favor of hiring TO even if for an incentive laden contract. I don't like Edwards' selfish playing style and Gaffney's overall remaining talent (EDIT: Gaffney still produces so maybe he is not all that bad). Of all the choices, best may be Plax and JJ
  25. Not sure about the waking up part, but in general if our D is good enough to stop Brady and his accomplices, we should be fine against the majority of the league's offenses.
