i guess i would watch it regardless since i'm so starving for bills football right now. overall though i'd say it was kind of a bland overview of the team and their opponent for the week. it's pretty much a host asking marv his opinions and marv in turn dishing out praise to the players on both sides, which i would expect from a class act like marv levy. they did have an interesting piece with lots of camp footage of whitner.
-
yes it does. i watched it this morning at 11:30 on sunday ticket.

win the first three?? let's shoot for 19! that would shut up the crtics. realisticly i would hope to see buffalo win just one of these three games. if they win two, i'll be elated.
-
that doesn't say a whole lot for their ability to scout/evaluate personnel. they are a franchise i complete disarray if you ask me.
-
AVP spends most of his time with the QBs. Shonert is(or will be) expendable.
the bills QBs were impressive this week so the Offensive QC coach gets praise and the QB coach gets blasted.
-
i can't imagine anything other than injury taking jp out of the starting lineup for week 1 at this point. i'm not sure why the coaches won't just come out and say it, but clearly jp is the guy.
-
if we're gonna allow kyle williams to be larry tripplet, can we perhaps see if jp losman would mind being peyton manning for a couple months???
-
our punter will again be amoung the league's best. beyond that i'd say there are 52 enormous question marks.

tomorrow 7-8 am

If its true it could make a lot of sense...Spikes is the bigger more phyisical of the 2 and after his injury may be a step slower than before....let the quicker/lighter LB Crowell play the weakside LB
that's exactly what i thought or maybe just hoped when i read this news. hopefully it will pay dividends. crowell showed us last year that he could get into the backfield on the weakside. hopefully he can produce even more this season. it will be interesting to see how takeo comes back and now i guess how he responds to a new position. also, i'd like to hear opinions from the board on posey. is he done as a bill or is it possible he could get time as DE/pass rushing specialist?
-
Yeah, he dropped weight alright. From his belly to his ass.
-
He's done nothing so far to think he has a chance to be anything but 3rd string. If the injury is anything significant, he's not only out of the starter's job, but has no chance at #2. That said, he'll be 3rd stringer this year, when healthy, & if he can't get to 2nd string by 2007 it's sayonara. He's not looking like a good signing right now.
Wow, i'm glad your not my boss. two days and nall is already a bust.
-
he plans on using their semen to create a youth serum.
-
Something isn't right. Two out of three of these NC State guys have bust written all over them. Maybe not, but cmon, you certainly could make an assumption.
So you think mccargo will be the only good one out of the three?

i'll eat every member of the jills.

The writing is on the wall. The new CBA WILL end the existence of the Buffalo Bills in Buffalo when Ralph passes away. Obviously, the powers that be knew what they were doing . . . they are going to get what they want eventually. . . The Bills out of Buffalo.
When that dreadful day comes, I will have watched my last down EVER of NFL football. The Bills are the only real reason I follow it now. The greed of owners and players, ridiculous over kill regarding advertising, obvious favoritism to the "Golden" teams like Dallas, the great diparity between the "Haves" and the "Have Nots", and all the overhype will all be too much for me once the Bills are out of the equation.
That dreadful day in the not so distant future, I'll swear off the NFL for life, in my own little personal protest. I'll make sure I never waste one minute on a "business" that ripped a lot of people's hearts out.
it won't be easy. i had a similar conviction when A-rod signed his $252 mil contract in texas. i hated the fact that baseball players could command so much cash that the game became unattainable for low to mid income families. i myself can very rarely afford a trip to a game with the family. i didn't watch mlb for about 2 years, but eventually i caved and came back. old habits die hard my friend. i hope we all can continue to enjoy bills football for many more years.

Good. I think this team should be angry. They haven't had a personality to them in awhile, as long as they get it in order and use their anger on game day instead of acting like mindless drones I for one am happy that at least someone is angry even if they're newbies.
AMEN TO THAT, at least some of these guys have a pulse. hopefully this new regime will motivate these guys better than mike m did. the team seemed so out of control last year with the qb issues,EM,Sam A, et al. maybe these newbies will bring some heart to this team, even if they can't win games.

Handing JP the job and letting PhatPat/Jonas walk makes me beleive that he was playing for 2006 and that he would have made more effort to bring higher caliber players into the OLine mix this year.
The discussion can never be more than speculation but I'm inclined to think that given that one more year he would have spent another Day1 pick (or possibly even 2) on the OLine as well as making a serious run at LBentley (who probably would ahve gone to Cleveburgh anyways); and would have had a nice looking OLine when the season started
although you may be right in saying that was tom D's plan, i think it is a pretty flawed plan. a successful offense begins with a good line. looking at the good teams in the league proves that. big name skill players often leave their successful teams for lucrative deals elsewhere, and their former teams continue winning games. the loss of premier linemen, although sometimes overlooked , leaves a much bigger void in my opinion. losing a productive lineman also frequently creates a domino effect and can cause other members of the unit to struggle playing alongside unfamiliar and often less talented replacements. i think part of that is that consistency is needed along the o-line as they play not as five players but a cohesive unit. building a team around a young qb and skill players is laughable and the results are what we see now with this team.
damn, i thought all my teflon tom angst was gone.

from your summary JoeF i can't help but think just how profound the differences are between marv and tom donahoe. marv clearly had to settle for a 5th in exchange for moulds and openly admits he had no other offers. i have to believe tom d would have been very stubborn in that situation which you could view as positive or negative i guess. also the fact marv discusses the logic or thought process behind hirings and signings is a big change at OBD. his frank manner in discussing jp(at least i get that impression from your summary) is also very different from anything tom d would ever say. i'm not sure how marv will work out and he's definitely giving us some reasons to doubt him, but it is refreshing to actually here comments from our gm that are actually insightful and not just a bunch of BS meant to mask all of the failures the team has had

i agree with the positive posters here. at least this schedule could give us a glimmer of hope for a somewhat competitive second half. the first two road games are tough, but the team i figure will struggle in those early games anyhow with all the new personnel, new offense and defense to learn, etc. hopefully the bills will get it together at some point this season(i know it's a bit of a stretch) and the winter home games should benefit them. i epecially like miami coming to Buffalo in Dec. the 1pm starts are a huge plus as well, mainly on the road. teams in general don't seem to perform well in late (4pm) road games and i have heard many former players speak about that. most say they find it hard to get really into a game after spending the better part of the day in a hotel room or meeings, etc. i don't really know how accurate that may be, but it's always seemed a logical theory to me.
-
those boards change more often than I change my underwear
that isn't saying much.
-
my hatred of miami and new england would keep me watching, but i don't think i would follow the team in its new form.nor do i see myself picking a new team. i'd still just hate the same teams i hate now.

(Im waiting for the gay jokes....)
ok, i'll take a shot at it. well, if you mean david carr will be on EM's back ,then Em will obviously be a legendary catcher in the city of houston. however, if you are referring to david carr being on his own back, then i believe EM would technically be called the pitcher. either way, one of those guys is gonna be catching plenty. just hope they don't catch anything that can't be cured by a few shots. how was that?
-
the existence of EM will forever be debated by members of two camps. there are kelly holcomb enthusiasts who argue that he most certainly exists. some even claim to hav e"game tapes" proving that he in fact is an nfl "Wide Receiver". most tapes however when investigated are proven to be fraudulent. then of course there are the JP losman supporters who deny any and all claims that there is such a creature named eric moulds on the roster of the buffalo bills or on any other football roster anywhere. "maybe you could find him in loch ness" one bills fan joked last december when reports were rampant that eric moulds had indeed been spotted in an endzone somewhere in WNY. the debate will never be settled until undeniable forensic evidence is found. paternity tests on children in the orchard park area are ongoing to see if this elusive creature has attemped mating with local human women.
