Bruce would be only a slight improvement over the guys we presently have.

Buffalo blow-out
Six and one sounds mighty nice
playoffs are in sight

You're right. They should have training camp style practices through their bye week.
These guys are men and professionals. No one is happy in that lockerroom. They are young and hungry. A loss is a loss whether you lose by 50 or a point. Get healthy, rest, and come back Mondayto prepare to take it out on the Steelers. Good move.
We're scrimmaging with the Steelers?

It makes it more fun for the rest of us. I've never read so much criticism of a 4-1 first place team in my life -- most of it from fans who haven't seen a Bills' team 3 games over .500 since they were in the crib.
Personally, and I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who shares this sentiment, but I don't think any of us on this board have written the Bills off after the debacle in the desert. I for one am absolutely thrilled that we are 4-1 heading into our bye week. I don't think too many of us predicted we would be.
But I do believe that criticism of this team is warranted! I mean, isn't that what this board is for? To sound off with our concerns, fears, issues? Even with the wins there were some glaring things that stood out, that I, and other people so eloquently(and some not so eloquently) have stated.
1)Our offensive line - With the return of Peters, this was supposed to be the biggest strength of our team. They haven't opened up holes big enough for Calista Flockhart to run through, let alone Marshawn Lynch or Fred Jackson. I personally feel that Lynch has top 5 back potential in this league. But way, way, way too many of his meager yards have come after the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd hits. Out of every 5 running plays of his, 4 times he is met at the line of scrimmage. That is unacceptable. When we have 3rd and 1, I have to hold my breath. I think we have the 2nd largest line in the NFL.
2)QB Pressure - we haven't been able to get consistent pressure on the QB since the Seattle game. Ask yourselves, other than Kavika Mitchell's hit on Warner, did we even sniff the QB? I counted at least 7 or 8 times where Warner held the ball WAAAYY too long, and we still didn't get to him.
I think once we get Mcgee and Roscoe back, they will help out our secondary and special teams immensely. But this team definitely has a few issues to work out. Like I said, I am a diehard Bills fan, have been since I was six. I am more excited about this season than I have been in a long time. But I don't think anyone has written the Bills off. If they have, they probably aren't Bills fans.
I confidently predict that we will play a solid game against the Chargers, and will get the victory accordingly. Because nobody, but nobody, circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills....

I think Shockey would be an excellent addition to the Saints. Off field issues aside, it's hard to argue against his talent. Heck I would love to see him in a Bills uni...
but that would be a good move for the saints....imo..

I think up until this point I've been enamoured with the idea of a guy like Sweed or Kelly because of their size. Both being 6'4" and 225+ makes them ideal in the redzone. James Hardy with his 6'7" 220 frame could translate into a fantastic weapon in the NFL. Is a guy like Thomas, at 6'2", big enough to be that true redzone 'go to' guy? I love what Lee Evans does for this team and to a lesser extent I can live with Roscoe and Josh Reed, but it's become evident they need a bigger physical presence. Is a guy like Thomas the ideal size? Forget the fact that he's only really produced one season and consider how his game translates to the NFL in terms of what the Bills need from the position.
My answer is no. I like him as a player but not enough to pass over the defensive players who'll be available at 11 that make you better immediately. There is too much talent available in the 2nd round at WR to take a guy like Thomas in the first.
What's your perspective?

I think you post a very valid point, I myself have thought about his size, especially with all of us being so desperate for size at the WR position, and seeing the likes of 6'4 and 6'7 type guys available, seeing Devin Thomas at 6'2 makes you give him a 2nd thought...
But the sad thing is this...He'd still be the tallest receiver on our roster...and there's no denying he's an electrifying talent with tremendous potential.
That said, I don't know if I'd take him over Sweed or Hardy.

Really annoying for those who need to compete for days off with others. It appears to be more and more the league is staging whole schedule release.
You could not have said that any better. I've been holding off on trying to schedule my vacation days waiting for this #$@%#^$ schedule to come out!
-
Sooner or later the answer will be yes. Just not for today's today.
ok i take that as today is not the day, lol. -
I was sitting in the endzone of that game when Darryl Talley (my favorite player of all time, Walter Payton is a very close second) made the interception and returned it for a TD. That was the greatest play I ever saw live.
I couldn't imagine having been at that game....i probably would've just spontaneously combusted....
simply awesome it must have been..
-
nope
would that be, nope, today isn't the day, or nope, you don't know?
-
Ahhhh yes those were the days.....
Remember in the 1990 AFC championship game against the Raiders, on the Bills first TD drive, when they had drove down to the raiders 15 yard line...Hull snapped Kelly the ball, he dropped it, had time to pick it up, dust it off, and still threw the touchdown pass?? Man that was insane...
*sigh* glory days....

I know it's been discussed before, please forgive if it has already been said, but i had heard that the NFL schedule was to be released today? Is that correct?
I'm dying here waiting for the schedule to come out in hopes of maybe one or two Monday night games at the Ralph...I'm trying to plan my vacation around the schedule...
Anyone know if today is the day?
GO BILLS!!

Dang that was a long video...
Definitely has the size we covet...i agree with you i think he'd be worth a late round flyer or invite to camp at the least...

Greer and McGee are the best CB tandem in the AFC east?
Are you serious? Is this the same Green that got smoked for about 6 TDS this year by Randy Moss?
I have to agree with you, I don't think Greer and McGee are the best CB tandem in the AFC East. They were definitely serviceable and played solid, but calling them the best tandem in the afc east might be a bit much. However, just about every corner Randy Moss faced got rolled up and smoked....
I think unless a player like Dorsey falls into our laps, or perhaps even taking Rivers, I think we should definitely go WR round one.

Hilarious!!!

God Bless you and stay safe fellow Bills fan!

Is it the conditioning program?

I think you raise an excellent question. I swear I was just thinking the exact same thing. It is quite amazing how many injuries we've had the past two years.
