  1. It's pretty clear that this team is establishing an identity to run the ball and stop the run, then field position becomes part of the game plan. People are placing too much emphasis on Harvin the WR, but I have yet to see anyone dispel what he is capable of in the return game. Just look at what he did against the Broncos in the Super Bowl. He will be able to provide some wrinkles in the passing/running game, but he is more than just that, IMO, and worth the risk.
  2. I'd give him a 7 right now as well, but like others, I do believe he can be a future all-pro, maybe as soon as next year. I was pretty high on him after the Jets game, but then he completely disappeared for the entire month of November, to the detriment of this team's playoff chances. Much of this has to do with scheme, as Hackett hasn't done enough to get the ball in the hands of this team's play makers, especially with liabilities along the OLine, there were several missed opportunities to throw quick screens to Sammy, and let his YAC take over and keep D's honest.
  3. They probably did decide that it was 4 down territory, and they wanted to potentially preserve valuable game clock, thus, throwing the ball 4 straight times.
  4. Good to see the Ravens bailing out Goodell, the NFL.
  5. McFadden's is a great place to watch the game. In addition, Michelle who runs the Philly Bills Backers and is a producer for NFL Films, usually has raffles throughout the game because she comes into Bills gear so regularly because of her position.
  6. The teams with the highest odds last year, in the eyes of Vegas, came to fruition, as they correctly picked the NFL's Final Four, based on odds.
  7. Production is similar, but JJ's measurables, for a WR 2 inches taller carrying 15 more pounds of weight, are of someone from a different planet. Granted, measurables don't account for production or raw natural talent, but for a game of inches that the NFL has become, mean A LOT. Especially at the WR pos.
  8. I love Sammy and think he is going to be great for the Bills, but JJ is on a different planet than Sammy.
  9. I'm thinking this was a major reason why as well. It seemed they were better in the first half, but 2nd half there were some big holes for their backs to run through.
  10. The Bills just drafted a QB in the 1st Round...He is going to be starting on Opening Day. If he does great, awesome. If not, the front office still can play the "the QB class was a weak one this year", and hopefully, move on knowing they still picked up a couple of potential starters in this draft. If EJ shows no progress, bide your time until the Bills are drafting in the top 10 for a draft that has a lot of QB talent, and try it all over again.
  11. Brandon was quoted as saying that the UDFA process is like "Wall Street trading" yesterday. So I am sure there is a lot of negotiations and recruiting going on behind the scenes.
  12. Not sure if this has been posted yet, but it talks about how drafting or signing players with checkered pasts is worth it. Da'Rick is featured in the article along with Mathieu and Ogletree. http://www.nj.com/giants/index.ssf/2013/04/nfl_draft_study_says_its_worth.html
