  1. Better choice of words, I agree. Scrappy.... Resilient almost infers a winner, which we haven't gotten to that point yet. The Bills of 92 & 93, with declining talent, FA loses, injuries, and aging, were "resilient".
  2. Does clearly seem to smack of that, doesn't it? His signing surely had nothing to do with his talent (none).
  3. Kelsay played almost decently for a seasoned vet, but was still a far cry from having played well. That is unless the bar is now so low for everyone, that even a slug like Kelsay can be praised for simply not being an embarrassment. I will only say that he clearly isn't an OLB and if he has any value at all, it's at DE. Personally, his best value? He holds a roster spot (that could be held by someone who can contribute).
  4. As much as I wish it wasn't so, "Wang's" line, "This guy reminds me of rookie cop at the firing range that shoots out the water cooler" pretty well nails Fitz's accuracy issues. As for Brohm, let him earn the right to play through practice, etc. Once the baloney competition winner (Edwards) was finally called out for being what is is, and then cut, the Bills immediately went to Fitz. I suspect that was based on far more information than any of us have and is very likely the correct move. Yet, if only Fitz didn't shoot so many water coolers.
  5. Watching it again right now, in fact......NFL Game Rewind
  6. Neither team was known for their stellar running attacks. We'll just accept that the Lions didn't run all over us and leave it at that. Thankful, but no real evidence of any "fix".
  7. There was rain all game. It has a nasty habit of getting the ball wet. Cautious, run first became the Gailey plan, especially with a 14-3 lead. I thought we got a bit too conservative, yet....a win is a win...
  8. Maybin, what a waste......
  9. Having only one pick at this point (the halfway mark) is pitiful, isn't it?
  10. The Casey Matthews needs to move up the board fast. Great Bloodlines for this thoroughbred.
  11. Our Wang has risen!
  12. ....and considering how bad Bell was last year, middle of the road is a big step forward. He has the athleticism to continue to improve as well. Hangartner, is what he is. Mediocre to date, particularly in the run game., however his pass protection seems to have improved this year a bit and the pocket has been collapsing a lot less, at least in the middle. W have gotten a lot of heat coming around Green and Howard at RT. Maybe Wrotto will be an improvement as it's tough to be much worse. The more I watched Howard in replays of games from the past couple weeks, the less I liked his performance.
  13. Now that's a true old timer..... I go back to the 1966 season and the loss to KC in the Championship game as a wee lad.....
  14. Bills Daily doesn't list Evans as inactive. It does list Merriman and Howard as injured inactives along with healthy scratches being Ashton Youboty, Aaron Maybin, John McCargo, Mike Balogun, and Alex Carrington. Youboty has had a myriad on injuries and seemed to always be nicked up one way or the other, but when he did play, he seemed quite capable. He too must have seriously fallen out of favor with Gailey and coaches. Would have liked to see Carrington get some PT, but again, he's out.
  15. As my son and our family have all received support from the Make A Wish Foundation (and understand some of the wonderful things they do for ill children and their families), that was a very nice thing to do. Thanks.
  16. Maybe he'll get a few snaps (we do need help on extra points it seems....)
  17. I don't recall Felser making this suggestion, but I do recall the infamous genius John Rauch suggesting this and wanting to use OJ at WR and as a decoy. Number 1 draft pick overall, and he wanted to use OJ as a decoy?
  18. Murray may turn out to be a talent, but what does this have to do with an attack on Mallett, unless of course you have an anti-Mallett agenda and you're reaching for confirmation of it. I suppose watching Luck, means Mallett sucks too? Make no mistake, I'm not defending Mallett, but critique him on his own merit or lack thereof. Oh, I get it, you're in training as a political spinner.
  19. Wang was down for quite a while, but he has risen and is finally ready to take a pounding.
  20. Since he played the second half against the Bears, and seemed to do a bit better than Howard, it doesn't appear to be a loss at this point for Howard not being able to start (or play).
  21. In all fairness to Brohm, he was given a very stripped down play book from the Jauron era offense. Pretty hard to evaluate a QB from that. I would like to see him play a bit as well. Yet while Fitz's scatter shot arm and mechanics drive me crazy, he does appear to have pretty good command of the offense and has shown a strong ability to be able to prepare for and read a defense. The only real exception to this was against the Jets, in which he looked like Edwards throughout the game. In his other 5 starts, only his somewhat frequent errant throws cost him and the Bills. Sadly, some of those were huge.
  22. Trust you? Why? Just asking............
  23. I somewhat agree. Corey may well be an effective old school FB. You remember, the ones that actually carried the ball...... I like watching him run.....what few times he gets the chance.
  24. Edwards - 0 - 2 Fitz - 0 - 6 (but much more exciting in 4 of the 6 games) Sad day when a few numbers outweigh WINS......sad day indeed.
  25. Duane Edwards has been very disappointing. Wasn't expecting a sack master, but some pressures and an occasional sack would have been nice. Stroud? Stick a fork in him, he's done. Just wasting snaps. It's well past time to get Carrington on the field, coach him up (no more standing straight up). Hell, the way Stroud has played, maybe even give McCargo a few snaps. Stroud gets no pressure on a QB and it boogles the mind that anyone reallt thought Stroud (washed up at Tackle) would be able to play DE successfully.
