  1. Randell Johnson appears to be getting some good reviews this training camp as well.
  2. He's a troll. He thinks his sarcasm is so witty.
  3. How I see it: EJ no doubt is inconsistent. He still is the most talented qb on the roster. He may be failing, but I absolutely do not trust the local press corps. I think some of them have an agenda. Joe B. does. I've read reports from ordinary folk and from Astro that paint a different picture. So I am going to wait until actual games to draw significant conclusions. I certainly think if one is going to make a big deal out of a bad practice Monday for EJ, but not out of his being the best at the scrimmage, one is being selective. If one just goes by the most recent results, then I'll just wait a day or two for something to change. It usually does.
  4. Thanks. I used to like Carucci years ago. Now it seems to me he is just part of the group think thuggishness.
  5. I hope you are right. Over at BBMB, a vicious lot for the most part, the large tribe of EJ haters -- yes, they hate, they are not simply Buffalo Bills' fans -- have already concluded from EJ working mainly with the third team that he is virtually on his way out and that the battle is between Cassel and Tyrod. I'll wait for GG and VABills to tell me how I am deluded and the local media is telling it straight.
  6. Ah, thanks. My job gets in the way of my capacity to scrutinize the posts properly at times.
  7. Seriously, this is very confusing. I absolutely trust Astro and I am not inclined to trust the professional gossips, but the numbers here are completely different.
  8. EJ is playing better in camp this year. If you can't see the bias, I think you probably share it.
  9. When your bias makes Rodak appear relatively reasonable, you know you're in a bad place.
  10. I'm not going to quote long posts, but well stated Buffalo Bob and kokbills. At minimum, EJ has strung together a few good practices and had the best of the scrimmage. People ought to at least allow for the possibility he could legitimately win the job. Most of the naysayers are just stuck in negativity.
  11. Kokbills, I feel your pain. Exasperating . . .
  12. So true, but I was also young and naive. Now I'm "get off my lawn" guy.
  13. Still way too early to panic. The hyperscrutiny of the internet/twitter age has caused unrealistic expectations. It would be surprising if the qbs didn't struggle early against this defense. I sometimes long for the days when I still read newspapers and imagined most of the fans of my favorite teams were decent, rational folk.
  14. Yeah, he's not as focused as Astro. More interested in ambiance and the like, but I still believe his impressions are sound and worth throwing into the mix of opinions.
  15. I certainly don't know what the truth is about EJ or any of the other qbs. In addition to Astro's fine reports, I'd like to recommend folks here give a look to reports written by Badlandsmeanie over at BBMB. The writing by itself is humane and funny, while the observations contradict the groupthink among Buffalo media. The latest offering is pinned. Give it a read.
  16. Well, he definitely contributed to terrible o-line play and horrible offense last year; jokes and opinions aside.
  17. Well, I prefer the answer given by 1billsfan. I believe the situation EJ was thrown into was not typical and was particulary bad. People always think those they agree with are more intelligent. I thought, according to you, EJ would already be cut or traded. Must have been some white noise confusing the insider info. Doesn't matter. What happens on the field will mercifully end this seemingly endless back and forth.
  18. In theology, there's something Catholics call invincible ignorance. Apparently it applies (moreso perhaps) to football message boards. Thanks for trying, nonetheless.
  19. The guy just enjoys slanting everything negative. Wonder how long ESPN would tolerate an avid Bills' fan writing negative things about the precious Pats*.
  20. It's literally been pointed out dozens of times that if Collins was drafted on day 3, his agent said he would sit out the year and enter the 2016 draft. By not being drafted, that option disappears. Yet individuals like yourself keep making an irrelevant point. Either you and they lack patience to read, cannot comprehend basic English and thought, or disbelieve the threat.
  21. Sabres will make the playoffs in two years. Next year would require serendipity. Three years from Cup contention, probably. Little doubt they will be good. Too much young talent. Unlike the Oilers, the blue line was not neglected. Need a goalie to emerge or bring in a competent vet. Pegula and Whaley aren't part of the last fifteen years. Plenty of rational reasons to be optimistic. The gloom crowd lacks imagination. Invincible pessimism becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. Besides, what's the point of waiting till there is a championship to be full of hope? Isn't the joy of being a fan to endure the tough years and enjoy the times like these, where one begins to see a glimmer of future glory?
  22. Really well said, Kelly the Dog. Judgement requires more than stats. There is an element of artistry or a sense of the qualitative that mere numbers can't capture.
  23. I would take a late round flier on Chris Bonner. Early round picks should be o-line, te, dt, and db imo.
