Spiderweb

Antowain played OK, but did have the clincher at the end....

.....and so might my son......in about 6 years. Tory Smith - no better, and likely worse that what we already have. Change for change sake isn't progress, it's just plain dumb.

How many times do you need it pointed out that the Bills (and a number of other teams as well) did not see Tebow, Clausen, or McCoy as top draft choices. The Bills were not alone in this evaluation of their talent. Anyone one of these guys may prove the pundits wrong, but again the Bills were not alone in passing on these wonders of yours. I guess you just can't let it go that outside of Bradford, none of the others were seen as warranting a high draft pick.

We have looked "outside the box" and Troy Smith is not a savior. Heck, at OU, he wasn't even a decent passer for crying out loud. Time to move on.

Again, you over-simplify your position. With multiple speedy weapons, it's just not that easy.

It would be great if no one ever brought up "Madden" again with respect to the Bills, and the evaluation of their talent. But then again, old timers could begin to bring up Strat-o-matic Football ratings (for those who might have played the game when they were young). For crying out loud, they're games first and foremost!

He's currently under contract. He should be fined for the missed mandatory OTA, and any time he misses in camp. His retirement and posturing for a trade to a Texas based team (to be near his home) ruined any trade value he may have had, so let him rot. If he wants to come back and play, fine. If he stays away, fine.... I would have said we should accommodate a trade for him had he kept his big mouth shut, without retirement talk or his desire to no longer play in Buffalo. At least then the Bills may have been able to get something for him. I'm sorry, but he can go piss up a tree at this point since he played this the way he did.

That is a fairly accurate evaluation of Flutie's 1999 regular season performance. Had he achieved some of 1998 successes, he never would have been benched. What carried the Bills in 1999 was the defense, plain and simple. in 1999, Flutie had to have set a record for most passes batted down in a single season. Flutie was forced by the opposing defenses to be a pocket passer and he simply wasn't good at it.

Careful PTR, you'll draw the venom of the right any minute now. They surely don't wish to hear about other major economies functioning well that are much more "regulated" that ours. Canada, Germany, Japan, etc.......but hey, we're the USA, we're always right, even when we're wrong. They won't believe you anyway. Gordon Gekko (first version) is their God, and they are the workers for the airline he's about to destroy.

Well said Doc. As A PR, he had 4 very good years with only last year being sub-standard. While he was in Jauron's doghouse which cost him playing time and opportunities. A clean slate may be just what the "Doc" ordered for Roscoe. WR cuts may well be very interesting indeed, especially of one or more of the UDFA's end up showing real potential/talent. We currently have Roscoe who really hasn't shown he's a viable WR, Steve Johnson who despite his fan clubs hasn't shown much, Hardy who needs to show something now, and Felton Huggins who is perennial camp fodder.........

He reminds me of no one, yet! Give the guy a chance to play first for pete's sake. He hasn't even taken a snap yet. When 2010 ends, then at least there may be a body of work in which to evaluate his play and compare him a bit more knowledgeably.

.......and the broken record played on, and on, and on, and on, and.........

Well, that's fine for you. While its does not always apply (Terry Glenn 90 catches as a rookie, for example), in Eric Moulds case, it definitely applied. As is usually the case, the reality lies somewhere in between.

.....up his azzzzz? (Just kidding.......just couldn't resist the blatant setup)

Billy Kilmer? No arm, no real QB skills at all, but was tough as nails. The best thing about Kilmer when he played for the Redskins was that Sonny Jurgensen was his backup (late in Sonny's career). Sonny was an excellent QB.

Defenses merely had to keep Flutie in the pocket to render him far less effective, which all of our opposition did in 1999. That was their focus and Flutie's play suffered considerably. Yet, as poorly as Johnson played, one could still make the case that we may have been better off in a big game to have Flutie play rather than Johnson. However, any talk of our advancing had the Bills beaten the official/Titans is silly. As already pointed out, our offensive line was in pitiful shape. Fina was hurt, Hicks (RT) was hurt, as well as others. Our Offense didn't have a chance no matter who we would have played next.

Actually, Moorman had his share of miscues last year and wasn't the same guy form a few years back. He's good but he slipped a bit. I hope he can rebound, but even more so, I hope we need less of his services than we've needed for the past number of years. Kelsay effective against the run? Wow, where did that come from? When has he ever shown that he could be effective against the run? Yikes....

You might wish to try this then. TO showed he still had the ability to get deep, beating single coverage (as long as it wasn't Reavis providing the coverage that is) occasionally. However, the rest of his game is gone gents. He has no heart to go over the middle and on the rare occasions he di, he had serious alligator arms and hands. He dropped numerous balls, which he has always done, but with the bulk of his game diminishing, that is now a big problem. He also had numerous times where he could have fought for the ball, but never did. Some were intercepted, more fell incomplete. Sorry, but the TO you saw last year must be a different one than the one I saw. With no fight in him or the desire or ability to come back on the ball, I'm glad he's no longer a Bill. TO was signed for one year, and he did nothing to deserve another, either with Buffalo or with anyone else.

Nix may simply be waiting to see round 2 of FA (camp cuts), to obtain a qualified short term fix to LT, that is unless of course, he feels Bell can be that guy.....

.............and that, my friends, was his last good game.

"Not so hot senior year", yeah, that's the line. Yet, in living in the Lousiville area and watching most of the Cardinals games Brohm's senior year, I'd have to say he still played well. He was over shadowed by a defense that couldn't stop a team of 80 year olds. Of note (wikipedia source): Brohm had an injury-free season in 2007, completing 308 of 473 passes for 4,024 yards for 30 touchdowns with 12 interceptions, giving him a QB Rating of 152. However, Louisville struggled and finished 6-6, failing to make a bowl game for the first time in 10 years.

Yes he has.

Where does one find info on who is signed and who hasn't for all teams? Seems like a lack of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round info. My google attempts came up short. Shouldn't a batch of signings start soon? And if CJ Spiller holds out, it may be more due to those above him and below him not signing. Once the others begin to sign, the slotted nature of signings and for the size of the contract, is pretty much established. I hate hold outs. We need him in on time to get ready...

You are both very, very sick.

You clearly have underestimated Schobel as well as you're likely to have a rather low comprehension of the game. Schobel was not a dominate player, but he was a very good player.
