  1. Modrak and friends should start making plans to attend college games of the top quarterbacks.
  2. Does Ralph drive the bus or lead it in his Taurus??
  3. I wonder if the Bills lack of explosion vs Washington, as pointed out by Mr Theismann, contributed to the dialing back in Today's practice??
  4. Based on the Bart Starr quote in your sig, Bills fans are some of the most courages football fans around.
  5. Not surprising, they get no respect from national media. Rivals.com has their preseason ranking as 115 out of 120 BCS schools.
  6. Doug Flutie was born in Manchester, Maryland, a lesser known location for witches in US History. I'm just saying.
  7. Larry Ellison seemed to make a shrewd move when he partnered with the minority owners of the Golden State Warriors in bidding for that team. However, Larry's "craftiness" backfired when he was too late submitting his final bid. What he should have done was buy out the minority owners, which is what's being suggested here.
  8. As AI said: "Practice. We're talking about practice. Not a game!! Practice!!"
  9. The "name" coaches we all wanted probably did the same thing: "Hi, this is Buddy Nix." "Who?? In San Diego??" "No, I'm now the GM up in Buffalo" "Oh, well good luck with that." Click.
  10. Right on!!! With the obvious holes on office, I was surprised when they announced the switch to the 3-4. The defense wasn't as bad as the stats last year because the offense was so bad. I didn't understand why they didn't focus on fixing the offense first. If the defense faltered, then consider a scheme switch next year. Rex Grossman was available as a free agent, too!! But, was he really that good or was our defense that bad??
  11. Every time it's discussed, I still just can not believe that they "address" the OT position by signing an unimpressive Green and thru the use of 5th (Wang) and 7th rnd picks. Again, Spiller could turn into Chris Johnson & we'll all love the pick but with the OT need, even if u believe in Bell and/or Meredith, at least get somebody like Stafford or Charles Brown in the 2nd round. Worst case is you have great depth. They could've found a very good scatback (versus a great one in Spiller) in the later rounds.
  12. Is it that much different from the "burying" of Rob Johnson, Whitner, McCargo, Losman, Hardy, Edwards, etc.??
  13. The bottom line I get from all of the camp reports is: 1. Pass defense looks great- QBs still suck?? 2. Pass rush impressive- O-Line still horrible?? 3. Running game looking good- Run defense still poor??
  14. For the most part Bill Walsh knew what he was talking about but nobody can predict 100%. Walsh was an adviser to the Niners and told them to pick Jake Plummer but they took Drunkonmiller. Plummer was a good QB but was no Montana , who Walsh compared him to. Walsh was right to trade up to draft Rice (remember that Al Toon & Eddie Brown were taken before him??) but a few years later he traded up for JJ Stokes but he didn't pan out. Walsh's track record was still better than most and definitely better than what we've seen post-Polion. Since Edwards has become Captain Checkdown, perhaps Walsh saw him as a fit for his West Coast offense.
  15. Since I don't live in Buffalo, what other sports networks do you have there? Out west, and in most of the country, there's an ESPN radio channel and many cities have The Ticket Channel. Recently the SF market has added The Xtra which is a Sporting News Network.
  16. Producer is Jerry Bruckheimer of CSI fame.
  17. Watched the season premier of Dark Blue. The Dylan McDermott character (Carter) went undercover with the name Jimbo Kelly. I wonder if there's some connection there??
  18. Hey, where did you get a picture of my greatgramma??
  19. Last 2 1st draft picks are specialists. Can't do that with a team that hasn't made the playoffs since 1999.
  20. What does giving a player what he wants gain you?? Nothing.
  21. I was not a fan of pick either but in reality the back who ended up the starter is 29 and has not shown the ability to score TDs. The other RB had a league suspension and was another dumb move away from perhaps a year-long suspension. His productivity also tailed off. They likely didn't feel comfortable with what they had. Still, why not then draft a Mathews who could be an every down back?? Or, get their scatback in a later round?
  22. "On defense with both Spencer Johnson and Marcus Stroud sidelined, John McCargo got first team reps at left defensive end alongside Kyle Williams and Dwan Edwards." Someone had recently asked about McCargo. It appears the coaching staff may not be considering him for NT.
