As CG has said over and over again, we have to crawl before we walk, walk before we run. Right now with the full Oline on the field we're walking. Next week would like to us jog. BTW have you noticed a new trend.Driving the field on our first drives in both games and scoring.

No he wasn't cut, and Green Bay matched our offer in an effort to keep him. I know facts are a problem, but at least try to get them straight.

True enough. Just being cute. However, I don't believe we were sacked in the game. rushed yes, but at least the QB didn't become a basketball.

With injured players coming back this week, I can't wait to see the game.

Amen. Someone who saw what I saw. Amazing how the skins defense went from vanilla to a little more sophisticated against a vanilla Offense.

he couldn't have kept Orakpo off the stat sheet. He's a stud HOF'er don't you know

Then stop acting like a two year old.

Which starting O would that be? 2 OLine starters. No starting RB's after first drive? Just asking.

Watched the game on nfl.com preseason live. Nice Feed. hooked it up to my Bigscreen. Was Great. Able to pause/rewind at any time. Think I'll get Rewind for season as we won't be getting many Bills game in Florida this year being in the Jacksonville market. Been rewatching game today. Two defenders stood out LB Coleman - cut. Corner should have had two picks for TD's - took his eye off the first one. On second one looked away from their Qb at the goalline because he lost his receiver. just long enough for grossman to fire the ball past him.

it's amazing the trent bashing from last night. No one seems to even pay attention to the first drive. Had he come out then everyone would say he looked good. Sharp crisp throws, on target, playyers in stride. Instead all focus is on drive two. Defenders in his face on long ball to johnson, but overthrew him. Interception thrown in Evans direction while on the run trying to get the ball to the outside, whiles he was backing away. Evans was unaware of what was happening, because of his move to get free ( that's why he never came back) If the completion had been made accolades all over the place. Finally, spiller wouldn't have been there trying to make the block if jackson and lynch weren't injured. Just saying

just rewatched some replays of plays before interception, and interception. Throw to johnson down left side a shade to long. Trent let it fly while completely surrounded, had he been able to step into it possible connection and TD. Throw to Evans. TE kept head up and saw his receiver and let it fly as LE was moving to outside. At the point he released D. Hall had just recovered turning toward Evans in full stride. Had TE been able to step into throw instead of away, probably more zip. However, i don't think it would have mattered, Hall had full head of steam and would have made intercept. Evans was going wrong way and could not reverse in time. Finally, Spiller missing block caused the whole play to blow up. If he gets a body on the defender TE makes a clean throw and completion IMHO.

Go to the Miami Herald. The fins have their starting center and guard out injured. CB's injured. Every team has players that get injured early in TC. Some more serious than others. Huggins came down on his shoulder wrong. Easely landed awkwardly and messed up his Knee I believe. Hardy, well I don't know if he will ever get away from the injury bug.

Please define talent as you understand it. Hangartner had to work with rookies on either side of him, even after the OC was canned to start the season last year. The rookies are second year players now who's skill set should be a whole lot better. Do we have pro bowlers at the tackles? No. Do they have talent? Depends on your definition.

It's not just TC, Trent has been positive and comfortable with CG from the beginning. I hope we are seeing the maturation of an NFl QB. In the days before Elway and Marino, QB's usually weren't ready until year 3 or 4. let's hope this is the beginning of something really good.

That I know. it was just interesting that Chan actually mentioned it. Obviously they won't be breaking down film, but I get a better feeling that we have more purpose. It appeared in the past that other teams were doing as you described and we weren't K-9.

I remember when a new coach thought it was important for his team to learn how to win. That's why I liked CG's comment

Wish I could find that quote.

Unfortunately, can't find it now, but CG made a comment last week about how he was going to spend Sunday last. He mentioned that he and the staff were going to be doing a little gameplanning for this week. I thought you didn't gameplan in preseason, you just go out wing on plays you know without rhyme or reason. Of course, that is what we were used to under DJ. Game planning, who woulda thunk. How novel.

Wake up. He announced las season before it was over that he was considering retirement. The cards were already on the table. With that out there how many teams do you think were going to trade for him?

Since there is no practice today, and the coaches are evaluating film, I would say Jason at this point is guessing trying to be first with news. let's wait to see tomorrow.

+1

At times, given time, he has looked capable. However, I wonder if he has fully recovered from the concussions. I mean this as will he be so nervous of on rushing defenders that he will lose poise and confidence. One other item (I believe critical) he will have a comprehensive gameplan going into a game, and not drawing it up as we go.

What does keeping a non-playing player gain you?? Nothing. If you haven't noticed players and agents now run the game. Free Agency years ago insured that. No disrespect for Schobel, but he should have been a man about his true intentions before now.

Came visiting last year. I used to work for Erie County Savings on Main St. downtown before the lightrail to Amherst (late '70s). What a disappointing mess? The Main St. mall used to be full of good stores. There was AM&A's, Hengerers and other stores. Somewhere between the early '80s and now, it all died. The original plans for the light rail included a glass covered corridor on Main throughout a major portion of downtown to protect the users from rain and snow.( Temperature contolled - obviously that did not happen). The major steel and automotive related industries moved out, as well as others. Only most of it was because of government moves. ( environment, taxes, etc.) Not Unions this time. We once had a highly productive workforce that compensated for higher wages. ( More production kept price per item down while increasing wages ). Unfortunately the city never capitalized on being a distribution and service centered area to compensate. If Buffalo or NYS are ever going to recover you must dump all politicians wit 6 or more years of total govt service and drop your tax structure to bring back industries, otherwise economic prosperity will never return.

1-5 in the div is giving our opponents too much credit. The jets did not improve their run game imo, which means reliance a 2nd year QB who did not light up the league as a rook. look for so-so second year. Typically, the light does not go on until the third or fourth year if they last that long. Henne for Miami is also going to have to prove himself. I think their running game is about to run out of gas, too many miles on all four wheels. NE is entering the end of their run, just as Buffalo did 10 years ago. The difference is we had little to no offense, and they have little to no defense. 3-3 in div possibly 4-2
