    Well as it looks to this point the team that started out by making all the wrong moves at QB & cutting all the old & big name & big money players are poised to do it once again this year .

     

    No not the Pats The J.E.T.S After acquiring ED from Houston & just doing what they have been doing through out tis season i see them taking it all the way .

     

    What started out as what many thought was to be a dumpster fire & once again thought that the Bills would be the one coming in out front have thought wrong !

     

    Rexy has once again made his team a contender & i think with what he is doing he will take the team to the play offs & save his gig & make all of the so called experts look really stupid .

     

    Man i hate it when it works out that way I just can't wait for the time that we can at least field a .500 team that will be a blessing .

     

    This week will be a proving ground for EJ to let every body know that we made the right choice in choosing him, if he looses this board will be in it's normal hate mode saying once again we made the wrong choice ...

     

    And if that is the way it goes our scouting department needs to be looked at long & hard because that has been the one place there hasn't been a lot of change in over the recent years .

    So sad, but I too share your sentiments. I can't believe that is what many of us on here have been reduced to.....hoping for at the very least just a 500 team...

    This stat might be skewed. For example, against the steelers, supposedly they didn't blitz at all, just dropping a ton of guys into coverage. this led to EJ checking down a lot. So maybe he had a higher completion percentage, but the plays were for like 3 yards.

     

    My sentiments exactly. My personal opinion is that his 70% completion percentage is probably bolstered a bit by his high number of checkdown throws. I'm no statistician but I'd be hard pressed to believe many of those completed passes are of the intermediate variety.

    Digging Deep - why do you remain a fan of this franchise?

    To be honest, I wouldn't know how to be a diehard fan of another team. I first started liking football when i was six years old. I was born in Buffalo, and aside from me and my mom, all my relatives stayed there. We moved to Virginia when I was one, but every summer I would get to spend two weeks up in Buffalo with my relatives, and those were the best summers of my life. We would play football with a soda can, and one day the trash man gave me and my cousins an old beat up nerf football, and it was the best thing ever. The Bills were the first team I followed. I picked them up when they had Joe Ferguson, Joe Cribbs, and Jerry Butler on offense, and the only player I remember on defense was Freddy Smerlas. But that is when I began following them. They were never any good back then, and growing up in Northern Virginia, I remember the Redskins being great year in an year out, and going to the Super Bowl.

     

    I think when I first realized I had become a true fan of the Bills is when I was 15 years old, and my dad and I were painting our old house. We had already moved into our new house, and had went back to the old house to paint it. My dad left the TV there, so we could watch the Bills vs Browns playoff game. I remember he had to tell me about 15 times to come upstairs and help paint, but I was glued to the tv. I watched the entire game, and on that final drive, my Bills "fandom" was officially born. I couldn't move watching the Bills march down the field at will. I jumped up in the air when Kelly threw the pass to Harmon because I knew he had caught it...but alas. Then when Kelly threw the interception, I just remember standing there, looking at the tv in disbelief. I couldn't believe it was over.

     

    I've lived and died through the Bills ever since. Granted, I'm nowhere near as emotionally invested in them as I used to be now that i have a family of my own, but I still and always will love my Buffalo Bills. I'm praying that I live long enough to see them win a super bowl. I refuse to believe with all the parity that goes on now in the NFL that they won't make the playoffs within the next few years.

    Bills bar in D.C.?

    I never made it to the Laughing Man, but I did make it out to Jimmy's. I was pleased. It is definitely a small town Bills bar feel, everyone treats you nice, the bartender was really sweet, and she gave me some great recommendations on drinks. After every Bills touchdown they assigned someone there the duty of running around the whole bar and high fiving as many people as they could, and they got a free Bills t-shirt. Good food, good drinks, reasonable prices. Definitely a great place to go to watch a Bills game!

    I was only able to watch the game until halftime, and it appeared he was MIA. At least to me. But I don't know if I'd go as far as to say he's cashing it in. I did expect him to get at least a sack or a half sack though against what appeared to be a weaker set of tackles...

    Is Stephon Gilmore an above average CB???

    I hope this thread is a joke. Stephon Gilmore was already a top 5 corner in the entire NFL by the end of last season. We would be having a very surprising season if he had been healthy all year rather than having Justin Rogers cover top WRs. If there is ANY PROBLEMS on this team Stephon Gilmore would NEVER be considered one of them. With that being said he is playing with one arm. That speaks to how good he is. He is better with one arm than anyone else we have with two arms. Obviously he isnt going to be flawless with one available arm to him. This guy is an absolute star.

    Not sure if I'd go as far as to call him a top 5 corner, but I think he was the best on our team, and certainly worthy of being considered an above average, could be great corner. I definitely believe once that club comes off, we will see a different Gilmore...

     

    I think it's also worth mentioning that in addition to that, The Club has got to be playing havoc with both his balance and quickness.

    Trying to play corner at a high level while carrying a pumpkin in your hand is damned near impossible.

    Well put sir!! :lol:
