  1. Understand it more is probably a more accurate way of phrasing it as a Bills fan. Though I must say that after reading so many folks state a clear opinion that he and his agent were deranged, understanding it (I think at least) gives me a lot more respect for it that actually makes a word such as "like" a not inappropriate description of my feelings.

     

    Actually if this really does explain what and why they are doing what they are doing, I do like some of the side effects:

     

    A. This forces the Bills to plan a little bit for altering their OL line-up if an injury occurs. I think both Walker and Chambers will benefit from trying to make up for Peters.

     

    B. I found the explanations based on Peters not really being recovered from the injury which bounced him from the Pro Bowl a little bizarre but still troubling. As a Bills fan I like the explanation in this thread better.

     

    C. I like Wittle as a player but I think he is on the backend of his career and the Bills need another credible OL back-up. If the discomfort caused by the Peters situation makes the braintrust hit the waiver wire hard for another back-up OL player I will not be displeased.

     

    Thus like is probably not too strong a word for this Bills fan.

     

    Well, when you explain your logic this clearly there is not much more I can say. Way to kill an argument. :blink:

  2. Anyone who's been to practice and watched Langston Walker at LT today knows Peters' leverage grows with each day. Walker's athleticism is a shred of what Peters offers and will not neutralize edge rushers. It's understood this was Walker's first full day at LT, but his lateral movement isn't there for a OLT.

     

    There is an amazing domino effect which taking place, with Walker now changing positions and a career backup inserted at RT. I think the team's frustration is born out of the realization that they cannot yield to the new deal demands for principle (and pride) reasons, yet not doing so means their team (at least on offense) will not nearly be as successful.

     

    The team may need to relent sooner than they imagined, although maybe it'll take a few pre-season games to impress on fans what the coaching staff knows right now: that Walker's move to LT will be a rough transition for him, the QB, and the entire offense.

     

     

    I kinda feel as though the spread of this type of mindset ( if occurring in the minds of the players) WILL result in a domino effect, but if the will of the players is strong they should be able to absorb the change and work with it. With that said, for one player to be in a position to affect an entire team in this way speaks to the need for change in the way the NFL does it's contracts.

  3. I think it looks great! The video size is not a problem for me, making it smaller would cause me to find the video elsewhere or try to view video on a larger scale. I like the simplicity of the banner, simple style never goes out of style.

     

     

    Nice work, your making me even more excited about the upcoming season, I am sure I will be visiting compulsively once the ball gets rolling a little more.

  4. As far as I'm concerned- we only have one month until my thirst will be quenched. Pre-season games include primetime TV spots, (sometimes) my favorite announcers, and FINALLY something good enough on television to drag me away from PC games during my free time.

     

    Oh and the struggle to find the broadcast of the less "important" games is also appealing, much like a women playing hard to get.

     

     

    ONE MORE MONTH

  5. So you want to go back to the way things were? When every so many years there would be a panic. How do you think we would have handled things now? I linked in the other forum how the Fed was born out of panic... Namely the 1907 panic...

     

    The funny thing is that most of us are so many generations removed to actually relate to how things existed then... And that we flipantly want to go back... Be careful what you wish for.

     

    I cannot pretend to understand the situation as it was in 1907, and in my post I did not offer any avenue from which to find a solution.

     

    I suppose the reality of how few people command so much power can temporarily paralyze my initiative to address more specific aspects of our financial and political systems. Its like cleaning the undercarriage of the '85 camry that you have already sold, as it sits in your driveway awaiting it's new owner.

  6. Ahhhhhhhh- you smell that?

     

    It's spring training- once again confirming that the place a man loves to be the most is standing around bunch of people working hard- so that he may comment and gives his opinion on the work that is being done.

     

     

     

    I love it. Boring speculation gives way to action and reaction- decision and consequence come to bear on the minds of fans across the country. If people suffer injuries now, it almost certainly changes the outlook of the upcoming season.

     

    May the die fall in our favor before and during the season- May the optimistic projections of a stimulated fan base ring true with the onset of the future-

     

    Most of all- the feeling I had when the cowboys special teams recovered the onside kick, and ultimately stole one of the most exciting games in recent Bills history- May I never have that feeling ever again..

     

     

    High attendance is definitely a good sign.

  7. I share your curiosity on the matter. However, this board is probably biased to a degree that ruins any "collective" opinion that you may be after.

     

     

    That being said, An * next to any reference to this team in permanent records would satisfy me. So long as the fans who have been so arrogant (not completely their fault, I mean wouldn't you be?) have to wait for a new winning patsie team to be arrogant again, I am fine.

  8. Thanks - Seems strange though since that's what this whole forum is? - Our Opinions

     

    Well, the term has been used ( along with about a million others) for things like video game chat logs, chatrooms, web boards like this one for some time. I find that the term "lol" is used in online chat the same way "hmmm" might be used "In Real Life" ( in case you were wondering yes, IRL is another one of these terms). It has become second nature for people.

     

    As for this board and its use, many times people won't include opinions on something -say like contract numbers- they will simply post numbers that imply opinions should follow.

     

     

    Maybe, just maybe, it could be used to mark the following opinion as one that the person actually came up with themselves, as opposed to having some outside source feed them the opinion. We all know how many opinions are parrot-like repititions.

  9. Right. And what percentage of NFL players suffer an injury during the season? How many players play all 16 games without an injury?

     

     

    Yah this is a good point but... they downplay how much the production from each player dropped the year they were on the cover in this article.. look up the stats its not turf toe 2 games... its normally alot more than that.
