As a police officer and someone who comes into personal contact with people like Vick I have come to be able to spot a sociopath when I see one. Vick is a sociopath and I guarantee you he will commit crimes again, be prosecuted again and go to prison again. If you honestly believe that he has turned over a new leaf (he's been out for what 6 months?) I dare question whether you are a prosecutor or not. Please don't let the law enforcement community down by being duped by this scumbag.

Didn't you hear from everyone on this board though? Preseason means nothing, come opening day I bet the Bills offense is perfect and the Pats will suck, Jauron will beat them this time, not really though. I love what some people will tell themselves to avoid facing the truth (complete failure again). Pats will kill Buffalo on opening day, makes me sick because for the 8 months out of the year that I have no Bills I'm usually depressed and opening day is better than Christmas. Looks like another dysfunctional holiday for us suckers.

Absolutely true. I'm sick of the previous posts in which we (TSW) are all put down because we aren't football experts or aren't paid commentators. I have two eyes and a brain and Peters sucked last year.

Hey you never know when a guard is going to check in as an eligible receiver.

I for one will admit that I've regularly bitcched about the 10 yard cushion that is given by our CB's to opposing WR's. I always thought it was part of the scheme of the poontang-2 defense though. I'm stunned to find out that the cushion is actually a choice by the corner. I guess I still blame Fewell (a former DB coach IIRC) for not addressing this problem three years ago when his db's were regularly getting beat underneath via the slant. Just another example of horrible coaching and the complete failure of this staff to instill a tough approach by the players.

You're just like that teacher we all had in high school who on the first day said "everyone here is getting a 100 right now" I poop on your optimism.

Reminds me of a great Brian Regan bit in which he talks about how great sports doctors are and how they diagnose an injury by just naming the body part.

This is a huge bummer, his .5 sacks every three or four games will be missed.

Don't forget that it's damn delicious.

They stay in the game until they score 14+ The starting OL stays in for the entire contest. Starting D stays in for the half.

Anyone who honestly believes that Vick's "change" is for real is just falling victim to the charm and proper word selection of a sociopath. Vick has not changed one bit, he got caught doing something horrific and is very good of putting up the facade of caring now, Vick did not choose to stop dog fighting on his own. He was caught, if he hadn't of been caught he would probably be killing a dog with his bare hands as we speak.

They have been using it in practice? Has this been stated by anyone? It seems that the starting QB and head coach think otherwise. Trent admitted not seeing any scout team defense in training camp as did Jauron according to a Tim Graham blog. As for the whole conept of using TC just to re-order depth charts I'd have to 100% disagree when talking about a team with thrice consecutive 7-9 seasons and a complete inability to deal with the 3-4 defense. If this team is using TC to just have a good look at the 2nd and 3rd stringers then there is an implied acceptance of the garbage heap which is the current first team. Maybe the Colts, Pats and Eagles are afforded this luxury that you speak of but not Jauron's frequently mediocre Bills. Bills went 1-8 last year against the 3-4, Bills go all of training camp without even facing so much of a look of the 3-4 defense. Bills face the 3-4 in preseason against the Packers and look horrible, even worse than last year. The problem has not even been freaking examined by the Dicktard. While I do appreciate a well placed suicide reference I think most people here rightly see strong reason to have concern with appears to be yet another sub .500 season.

While I normally would agree with not calling out a coach for any reason I'll make an exception here. This is a glaring example of why Dick Jauron is nowhere near head coach material in the NFL. To fail to practice against the type of defense/offense that your upcoming opponent uses is absolutely unforgiveable. If I was Ralph Wilson and I came to know this information I would fire Jauron on the spot, in front of all the players. Edwards exposed Jauron and the situation and also offered a perfectly plausible reason why the Bills suck against the 3-4. Now I can only hope that Jauron will make an adjustment here and start using the 3-4 in practice but I think it'll go something more like this: Anyone with an IQ above 23: "Hey Coach Jauron, now that everyone knows the reason that we suck against the 3-4 is because we don't practice against it do you think that we should try it now? Maybe it'll help us progress and actually beat a division opponent" Coach Jauron: "No, I think we need to keep doing what we've always done. If teams know that we are now practicing against the 3-4 I bet they won't use it against us" Anyone with an IQ above 23: "Are you fukking retarded?"

If there is no other reason for Dick Jauron to be fired immediately it is right there. I suspected that in practice they weren't seeing much 3-4 but to have the starting QB not only confirm it and also in a way question the logic behind not facing it is downright disgraceful. I'm going to go punch myself repeatedly now.

Cowher, hands down.

At the same time those 56,000 season ticket holders are part of the reason that this ongoing debacle has not changed. As long as folks continue to pony up the money and Ralph's bottom line looks solid why would he wish to change anything?

I think as soon as Dick convinces Russ and company that there is nothing wrong with starting 11 corner backs on a defense.

Haha great response!! you guys should duke it out!!!

Don't you think that Dick Jauron has a say in personel matters? This is Dick's team, Dick's system, you bet your bottom dollar that Dick Jauron has a very large say in who comes to and departs from this team. Maybe Dick Jauron and Russ Brandon have never actually met? I guess that's possible, highly unlikely and incredibly stupid but still possible. Seriously, Dick Jauron has a large involvement with the talent level (or lack thereof) on this team which IMO gives him even more culpability when it comes to the perpetual suckiness of this franchise. Not to mention that this is his 4th year of drafting/FA acquisitions/potential coaching changes etc etc.

I don't think it can hurt given the fact that the Edwards led offense has orchestrated exactly 0 TD's in the preseason. Cue the "it's the preseason and doesn't matter" statements. Apparently our coaching is so genius that we don't want to show other teams that we can get into the end zone. Maybe Jauron feels if the first teamers don't score at all then our opponents will only play defense with 7 players, then you just wait and see what happens. Put 11 Bills against 7 Patriots and it gets ugly real quick, I'm talking 3 yards per carry ugly.

Which is amazing given that one of Hangartner's supposed great qualities was his ability to take on the tough NT's in the NFL. I'm not sure if I saw it right but it looked as if Geoffy boy may have been sexually violated on a few plays.

Even if Maybin steps up and is lights out the best DE on this team by week 1 I guarantee you that he will not get the starters role. Dick Jauron shows much preference towards veterans, hence his absolute love affair with Anthony Thomas whom I'm pretty sure I saw rifling through my neighbors recycle bin this morning. Time for a purge at One Bills Drive. Empty house, pay Bill Cowher 30 million to come in and truly rebuild.

Good point, he probably would have been super motivated and able to make all the plays since very little has changed since his departure. I always liked him as a player and would love to know the inner workings of last year's situation with his sudden departure.

Might I remind you of when he intercepted Brady in his first game ever? That was a great play in 2006.

Cutting Kelsay and Schobel will not hurt this team in any way. It will save buko bucks and possibly send a message although I can see Dick sugar coating it for the younger guys on the team.
