doesnt want to press charges and just wants items returned

[Where the announcers right in tampa game?]

may have somethin to do with mechanics of trent's throws.

 

the bombs to owens were from the right side(natural throwing side), while evans were from throwing to the left.

[If you were not at the TBD tailgate]

Anybody who leaves $400,000 in easily transported goods laying around the house for anybody to take deserves it. They sell safes delivered and installed.

 

did he deserve it. no.

 

if there was no safe, did he increase his chances of this happening?, yes.

[If you were not at the TBD tailgate]

Also, likely his insurer will disgree on the $400,000 figure.

 

wont matter much if he didnt have the jewerly insured on a scheduled(stated value) basis.

 

i dont know of any homeowner's policies in nys that include coverage without limits for jewerly.

[If you were not at the TBD tailgate]

this is confirmed. working up story now.

9-7 and probably no playoffs.

 

the good thing is that late in the year indy and the dirty birds should have playoffs locked up, so those may very well be winnable games.

i also think we split with the jets

 

if we get to the bye at 5-3 or better, we have a chance

[Lynch may find himself on the bench when he returns...]

Speaking of Lynch, did I read right that while his suspension is for 3 games, the Bills won't play him until the 5th game?

 

1st i've heard of that.

 

i think he'll play some in game 4, but they will most likely work him back into where ever he's going to be put in the offense.

[Sean Kugler and AVP]

I have to say these guys are doing one HELL of a job. Maybe two of the up and coming coaching stars at their positions. To be able to plug in Jonathan Scott and Demetrius Bell(who only played 4 years of football) and the tackle positions and play admirably is a testiment to Kuglar.

 

i had a feeling from the start that avp would do a good to great job. now he just has to keep it up.

 

as for kuglar, he may be the bigger suprise, as he's done more with less than has any other bills line coach in recent memory. again all this line has to do is keep it up for the most part. the line is very young and likely will have setbacks, but as long as they can be overcome, i'll be a billiever

[How about Lindell]

he's really been drilling them. looks like he took off some height of the kicks, but added 10-15 yrds of distance

[Lynch may find himself on the bench when he returns...]

I think that is fair, though as you note, RBs and QBs are hard to compare. That being said, we (of all teams) know that the examples you give are the exception, not the rule.

 

I love Fred Jackson. I am happy he will be on our team for the next 4 years. That being said, as the top teams in the NFL have shown, it is imperative to any solid team that there are two running backs on the squad who can compete. We all want Fred and Marshawn to each get a shot at 27 carries a game, but that isn't going to be the case. Despite that, to have the option to use both of them in a game plan makes our team SO much better. When Fred and Lynch are in the backfield, and TO and Evans are on the outside, teams are going to have to play the Bills very honestly. I like that.

 

agree 100%

[Lynch may find himself on the bench when he returns...]

Is this thread really still going on?

 

I love Bills fans, but you can't drink the Kool aid so easily. One of our players has two great games and you are ready to take carries away from the best RB in our division?

 

Jackson is a great RB. I think he has proven that he is worthy of getting consideration for a starting job no doubt. He has wonderful field vision and great instincts. Plus, he is a work horse.

 

This is nothing against Fred. But Marshawn Lynch is a premier RB. He is also 23 years old. And has rushed for 2,151 yards in two seasons. At a clip of 4.1 yards a carry. Behind a line that was incapable of run blocking. Does he always take the best cuts? No. But Lynch is our starting running back. I expect Jackson to get far more carries after his recent performances, but you don't give him more carries than Lynch.

 

but this is how some superstars are born....

 

montana goes down, steve young starts hof career

don majkowski goes down, bret favre starts a hall of fame career.

bledsoe goes down, brady starts a hof career

trent green goes down, kurt warner starts a hof career (kurt warner is bolded because his story relates to jacksons the most out of this group)

 

now i know the guys above are all qb's, and by no means am i saying fred jackson can or will make the hall of fame, but one guy's misstep is another golden opportunity...........

 

and some players tend to grab it and run

[If you buy conventional thinking...]

For the first time in a while, I am confident on 4th and short that the defense will stuff the play. I am praying for wind and/or rain next Sunday in Orchard Park from 4-7pm.

 

why quit with rain and wind........ pray for snow!!!!

[Lynch may find himself on the bench when he returns...]

running backs take a pounding you need two.

 

nobody is debating that we dont need lynch.

 

i think the debate is more about who should be the primary back.

 

lynch had 250 attempts last year to jackson's 130.

 

my take has been that those numbers need to be reversed this year.

[Lynch may find himself on the bench when he returns...]

Why does everyone keep thinking he can't carry the load? He is 215 lbs (same as Lynch, though 2 inches taller).

 

that is what i said earlier. there are starting rb's that are smaller than jackson that handle the load of being the feature back

[Lynch may find himself on the bench when he returns...]

God these posts are laughable. yes Freddie Jackson is good but Marshawn Lynch will be starting Week 4.

 

heh.

funny thing is that pats* fans most likely said the same thing about bledsoe when he had his lung crushed. he'll get his job back when he can play again.

 

we all know how that turned out.

[Edwards' play this game]

IMO, he played his best game as a Buffalo Bill. Too bad TO dropped that gorgeous spiral that hit him perfectly in the hands in stride.

 

Hey, he's capable of throwing the ball further than 10 yards down the field!

From the parts of the game I was able to see (about 3/4ths of the game), I couldn't really notice him do anything bad.

 

grade for the game: A

 

 

grade b-.

 

the deep balls to evans all seemed under thrown except for maybe the td

[Lynch may find himself on the bench when he returns...]

the fact still remains that lynch's hands are suspect & always have been, furthermore, unless he changed his running style and dropped all the dance moves behind the line, jackson is still the better player as he was last year and the better option.

 

finally, to say jackson can not keep taking these hits all year....he is not a glass doll. he has never shown to be injury prone(unlike beastmode... ankle,shoulder). there are SMALLER starting backs in the league that are feature backs and make it through the whole season.

 

so lets talk hypothetic rather than facts as far as the conversation is concerned......

[2nd week in a row i'll say it.....]

Yep, behind this new offensive line, I can't believe Marshawn doesn't have one single rushing yard yet!

 

At least Marshawn's never tossed up the ball in the red zone and had it returned for a near touchdown.

yes he has

 

and the line should work better for jackson because he hits the hole quick and goes. lynch auditions for dancing with the stars every carry.

 

lynch has worn tap shoes ever since he got here

[2nd week in a row i'll say it.....]

neither do fumbles.

 

 

nice one

 

but hey, fj already has over 100 rushing at the half......fumble or not, he's better

[2nd week in a row i'll say it.....]

once again goes to show crime doesn't pay...

[Oh. . . What could have been. . . .]

every team has let downs.....

 

lets hope the jests have 2 and both of them are against us

[Predictions for Bucs Game..]

bumping to see who's right

[Madden 10 roster update]

shnooks, why are you not posting all this madden info in the pinned madden 10 thread?

[McGee signs contract extention]

So, no 1st RD DB next April, right?

 

i know.....shocking. this team may add a player through the draft as an upgrade rather than adding them as a replacement. could this be the tipping point for the bills? back on the right track?

[Jimmy Carter]

Apparently I am not making myself clear. I could care less what any given individual considers newsworthy. The issue is the organization called NBC news took Carters goofy, unfounded accusation that the vast majority of people opposed to Obama's agenda are racist and ran it as hard news.

I did not vote for Obama. I don't like his policy's. Simple as that. And Carters option of why that is so means nothing to me.

NBC was simply useing Carter as a mouthpiece to call me racist. And yes, I deeply resent that.

 

this is why most "news" providers should be completely renamed from news to the propoganda machine

real news on the national level died years ago
