  1. Dude, you do realize that his 1st 2 years he was IR'd, last year on the practice squad? You make it sound as though he's seen the playing field during the regular season, which AFAIK he has not until this year - and this year only on ST so far.

     

    Graham, on the other hand, has had a shot at the playing field.. I think he is getting a break because he's been open at times and EJ has missed him short but I don't like his hands, I don't like his blocking, and I don't see his ability to avoid the jam on the line. I would like to see Easley get a shot.

     

    I could be mistaken. I thought he had seen the field during the regular season before this year. Don't get me wrong, I am still pulling for him, and do hope he gets his chance to see some quality playing time, but at some point you have to cut your losses. It just always seemed like it was something with him...

  2. I have been rooting and pulling for Easley since he has been on the team. At some point, the injuries, all of the things that have gone wrong for the kid, they become a moot point. True, this year he has been solid on special teams, but every year in pre-season, he lights it up, has a highlight reel play, and then during the regular season, he's pretty much invisible (when healthy). I really think he needs to contribute as a WR this year, and in a noticeable way to earn a roster spot. Honestly I'm sure you can find a street free agent or late round draft pick at receiver to contribute on special teams. Just my humble opinion.

  3. The full list is pretty imposing! There are a lot of deserving players back-logged now. I'm not sure Reed will ever make it at this point - can you really argue that if it comes down to Reed or Marvin Harrison, you would snub Harrison?

     

    The homer in me would have to give it to Reed. Plus, at least Andre never "allegedly" shot and killed someone. Sorry, had to go there. :rolleyes:

     

    Tasker, Polian, Bennett, Hull, all deserving as well in my opinion. Hell, I'd vote for pratically every Bill on the list.

  4. THIS will be our finest season in over a decade.

    Deal with it.

     

    I wish I could share that level of optimism with you. Unfortunately, I've grown a bit numb to the Bills and their losing ways, last year I think being the first time ever that I just wasn't bothered a single bit by the outcome of the games. Even as far back as 2002, I can remember after a Bills loss I didn't want to talk to anybody the rest of the day, I wouldn't go online, or watch highlights, or anything. I even remember the year the Titans beat the Bills back in 99, on the bs kickoff return, my roommate in college was laughing during the kickoff screaming "oh my God!". He wasn't even a football fan. I didn't speak to him for two weeks.

     

    I do believe this season will be an exciting one. I think we will see some awesome plays, and I think we will see our fair share of growing pains as well. I don't see playoffs on the horizon for this years Bills team, but you never know. As Chris Berman always says....

     

    "THAT'S WHY THEY PLAY THE GAME!"

     

    Go Buffalo in 2013! In EJ we trust!!!!

  5. Ugh, not having Gilmore is SUCH a difference maker. I really think we could have defended Brady in this game with him in there. He is so good in coverage. Oh well, he played last year and they still lost. So GO McLovin!!!!

     

    Man I wish I could share your enthusiasm with the whole McLovin idea, but unfortunately, when I think of him as a starting corner, all I have are visions of him having his defender covered, and never, or rarely turning his head around to even look for the ball, and then....

     

    another 15-20-30 yard completion.

     

    I sure hope he's learned a few things....

  6. Luckily he has inexperienced WR's. We need to play an aggressive style all over. Blitz, keep one safety back, bump and run. As Tyson said, everyone has a plan till they get punched in the face. We need to "punch" the Pat's new WR's in the face the first series of the drive.

     

    Agreed. I would love to see our corners play a little bit more bump and run.

  7. I am sure the pats receivers are feeling pretty good against leodis mckelvin and co.

     

    This, this, and this over again. Stevie is just being Stevie, and I don't really think anything he said was out of line. I'm more concerned with what Tom Brady and HIS receiving core are going to do Sunday. He has to have a full-on woody at the thought of facing our secondary. He's carved up a whole heckuva lot better secondaries that we will put on the field Sunday. I just pray our front four can get some consistent pressure or it's gonna get ugly, real, real quick.

  8. Thank you for recognizing the sarcasm -- I still find the Moorman lovefest/outrage that went with his release a little hard to understand. Yes he was a good punter but 1) he was a punter and 2) he's clearly on the decline.

     

    As for Powell, I understand having a certain lack of patience with missed punts, but I'm willing to cut him some slack for a less-than-stellar 2012 since he was a rookie (and I'm not all that concerned with pre-season). From what I saw last year there's enough talent and performance to feel confident in his abilities and prospects for improvement. If you look at his stats, he was in the bottom half of the league, but so were Mesko, Kluwe and Moorman (they were all pretty comparable). So for people to seriously suggest cutting a young player for an older one who is no better (especially a week before the season) is crazytalk IMO.

     

    Let's at least let the guy get a full year under his belt before we bring out the torches and pitchforks.

     

    Very hard to disagree there. Let's hope he develops a little better this year.
