  1. I'm really surprised at how Eli has been crapping the bed lately.

    No kidding. Eli looked bad in the 4 Q of the Giants' loss today. His arm looked weak and his throws were off target even with little to no pressure. I am glad that we have a QB who, atleast in the past two weeks, has shown to be tougher in the 4Q than the rest of the game.

    As for the upcoming Chargers game, Rivers has a strong supporting cast with our run D matching up very badly against LT. I am hopeful, however, that the coaching staff devises a game plan to keep it close and put the team in a position to pull off yet another 4Q victory.

  2. I was saying this about Eli before he came out.  He's no Peyton.  I've seen him play here at Vanderbilt.  The Vandy D used to make him look downright pedestrian.  I thought the Bills should have done everything in their power to get Rivers.  Before the combine, everyone thought Rivers was a second round pick.  I was hoping the Bills would "reach" and take him in the first.

    I do think, however, that Rivers has a much stronger supporting cast than E Manning does. This is not in support of Eli, I thought he looked really bad last night with his (in)accuracy.

  3. Clements is playing angry with that swagger again.  When he was on his game you'd see him jawing with the other team....he's been quiet most of the year but his swagger is coming back, and his play shows it.

    Should have signed him two weeks back when his value would have been the least it could be.

  4. Manning was throwing like Stevie Wonder last night and if you looked at the Giants as a team it was pretty clear they are all unhappy about something. Not sure what, but they all looked pissed. I fully expected them to come out in the second half and do some damage, but they just kept falling apart.

    E Manning was awful last night. He was inaccurate even when there was no pressure on him. It looked like he lost his contact lenses.

  5. Yes, it was a stupid thing to say.  Losman had torched the Texans the last 2 years.  But honestly, what has he done during his NFL career?  He was coming off games where he struggled to get a 100 yards passing.  I have all the confidence in the world in JP but let's be realistic.  If Joey Harrington picked us apart, we'd be pissed too.

     

    You don't know anything about Robinson.  All you saw was a comment.

    You went a bit overboard with your criticism of GLee. The only thing wrong is his post is his reference to a racial slur.

    Apart from that, Robinson's response is the kind of actions that separate the classy guys from the others. You said that 'all we saw was a comment'. Well, part of being a player/celebrity/whatever is that you are doomed to be judged by most people based on the words you utter in public. His non-acceptance of his team's incompetence in holding on to the lead is what is pathetic. He chose his words very badly and I think fans of the Bills are totally justified in calling him out for that.

    Gotta love the internet ? Sure, no one has asked to be in a fist fight with Robinson and gone beyond accusing Robinson of being a sore loser. Nothing wrong with saying that esp on a fan board of the other team.

  6. I don't want the Bills getting any props.  It'll be that much sweeter to see the sports chatteratti heads spin around when the Bills run the table.

    At some point we need to be advertised on these national networks. Apart from all the statistical records that Evans set, those two 83 yarders were picture-perfect in their accuracy (throwing, catching and running) esp as one came just before JP got clobbered. The final TD is worth a highlight reel for the way it was delivered and more importantly, caught at the 9 second mark. No matter which team is playing which, these beauties deserve broadcasting to the wider audience who may appreciate good plays without being blindly loyal to their particular team. Heck, I would love seeing such plays even if it was Brady throwing (except if it was against us).

  7. Sorry, when you used the acronym I wasn't sure.  You get some really obviously bad questions around here and it kind of seeps into the attitude.  Apologies.

    Accepted, bro. No problems. I too was way to quick to ask the question without letting my lazy fingers do a wikipedia search.

  8. I'm no expert in quarterbacking, but some QBs are skillful engineers (Brady, Montana) and others are more shoot from the hip fly by the seat of their pants type (Favre, Elway, Kelly).  Now I'm not putting JP in their class in terms of capability, but to me he is clearly more the latter type.  Let the guy put his foot to the floor and steer like crazy!

    Couldn't agree more with you !

  9. I know there are at least a handful of people on here who are into home audio/video, so I thought I'd post this link. One of the more popular home theater forums is having a drawing for some speakers. I have not heard them, but a few people whose opinions I respect have reviewed them and given them the thumbs up. It only takes a minute to enter the drawing for anyone interested.

    Thanx - just entered.

  10. I would take a vow to not go out of my way to boost Clements if you would just SHUT UP about Losman. Its so disgusting. I dont know if you are having wet dreams about Holcomb and Nall or if your teacher makes you continually write "I hate JP Losman" on the board after class, but you seriously need to chill.

     

    Again. I offer you. I will not go out of my way to boost Clements AT ALL for the remainder of the regular season games if you just SHUT UP! about Losman.

    As you are negotiating a deal with LSI Cadets, I need to offer something to DeLuca1967. Any ideas ? My first born, a root canal without anesthesia, a week without drinking, a week not staring at some fine a$$ ... ?

  11. at least Moss is honest

     

    a lot of them give up on losing teams and smoke weed, just few of them have the b@lls to admit it. i think the guy is refreshingly honest

    837435[/snapback]

    That is a pretty sad way to think about the situation. These guys (TO, Moss) get paid many millions of dollars to do a job. I realize that there is a relatively rare skill and they are at the top of their skill set, but that is why they command the pay commensurate with those skills. They are paid to perform. Dropping balls when them catching could help the club, is unacceptable. For all I care, these over pampered a$$es can smoke weed or became basket cases. In any other corporate environment, an employee will be shown the door if he is hurting the cause of the corporation. I see no reason why even skilled players like Moss have to be treated any differently

  12. Really this guy was supposed to be the Great White Hope to Michael Vick.  His statuesque performance in the pocket these days makes Bledsoe look like Carl Lewis.  They never call QB sneaks when they need short yardage and they rarely roll the guy out. He also rarely makes a play with scrambling.  Is the guy hurting or is he being over-coached to stay in the pocket and not move no matter.

    There have been two opinions expressed on this board re:JP over the past 2 years - he needs to stay more in the pocket and we need to make use of his scrambling abilities. JP's experience in Tulane was the latter.

    Perhaps Fairchild wants a QB who can pass in the pocket and only take off when the protection breaks down. I believe that he (or the QB coach ?) is drilling the 'stay in the pocket' mentality into JP. Perhaps this season wils be spent in teaching and practicing items which will bear fruit once we get some talent on the OL.

  13. Gringo is putting his sig where his mouth is and is willing to give up his sig for the rest of the season.  I propose we take it to a vote.  So, lets post some ideas here.  In a few days, I'll pick what I think are the best ones and we'll make a final poll to pick the winner. 

     

    My first crack was....  "I have so much man-love for JP, I'm about to explode."

     

    As gringo pointed out, I'm sure we can do better that that.

    How about the ultimate insult - SOPRANO4695 ? (or whatever the next number was after SOPRANO)
