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.

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.

Good to see the Ravens bailing out Goodell, the NFL.

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.

I don't put much stock in Vegas lines. They aren't really projections of what they think will happen, but merely the points that they expect 50 percent of the public will bet on the over and 50 on the under. There's a reason lines move as people bet on one outcome significantly more than the other.
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.

Based on what? I would say Sammy has very comparable credentials to Jones' at this point in his career.
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.

Sooooo... Julio Jones?
I love Sammy and think he is going to be great for the Bills, but JJ is on a different planet than Sammy.

Smokin and Jokin

Both last year and this if the O can't stay on the field (and a hurry up O will make this worse), the D as a whole is going to look worse than it even is. We will see against Cam and his boys next week and it will be true or not. The run D did better as year progressed last year, I am sure some of this and other problems have to do with new players and schemes, these things take time. I just want to see improvement as the season progresses.
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.

You know I'll be there Pooj. Both days. Hit me up!

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.

How does the process for signing UDFAs work? Was there any indication that teams were fighting over signing Rogers? The Bills can't be the only team to recognize his talent and be willing to deal with his off-field issues. I'm just curious about the mechanics of how he ended up with us. Thanks.
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.

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.

This team reminds me of the early 90's Oilers.

Me: Babe, more people watch the NFL draft than the MLB Playoffs and the NBA Playoffs.
Her: That's what's wrong with America.

Don Banks latest Mock Draft: http://sportsillustr...ft-7/index.html
Has the Bills selecting Austin at 8 and trading back into the 1st round with Minnesota to select Barkley at 25.
I could live with that scenario.
If we get Austin and either Nassib or Barkley, we would be winners of the draft.
-
I would love this draft. The LB out of Southern Miss will be a stud.
-
No wonder why we suck.

Not drafting a QB is why we're in this mess right now. They had several opportunities in the past to draft QBs early, and passed for whatever reason.
Now, we are in a position where we are expected to draft a QB. Whose to say that the QBs are going to be better next year? What if we pass on one of these "Mediocre" QBs in this draft and they go on to become a perennial Pro-Bowler?
-
The Bills' 8th slot may be generating most pre-draft buzz: Tavon Austin or QB? Or trade back & pick between Nassib & Barkley?
-
I would be fine with Austin at #8, then taking a QB like Manuel or Dysert later in the draft. He provides a number of options and would work well with Spiller and SJ13.

Gaslight district in downtown San Diego is always a good time. I couldn't speak of specific bars there, but generally speaking, there are a lot of fun establishments in that area, including a dueling piano bar that is always a good time.
Another option would be to head to Mission Beach, which is about a 15-20 minute drive from downtown and features a number of beach themed bars, restaurants and lounges. Quality talent there as well. It is difficult to not have a good time.
WR Percy Harvin's first visit is with Bills
in The Stadium Wall Archives

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.
