  1. I heard a stat on the radio from Don Banks that said in their history Houston is 6-4 all time against the Jaguars & something like 15-44 against the rest of the league. With that being said I think this game is a tossup with the edge going to Houston because they are at home.
  2. I have been saying this for 2 years now, the patriots showing no loyalty & trying to get everybody on the cheap is eventually going to catch up to them. Maybe you would be overpaying guys like Milloy, Law, Ashworth, Branch, Mginest, Viniteri to be keeping them, but guess what??? Those guys helped you win super bowls. Where is the thanks. Dont think for a minute that goes unnoticed in the lockerroom. Look, as long as the pats have Brady & Belicheck they should always be playing meaningfull games late in the season, but it is quite obvious that they are not the juggernaut they used to be & teams do not fear them like they used to. I will go as far as saying Brady will not win another super bowl the remainder of his career.
  3. There were alot of things going on with the Polian firing besides just football. I think you had some egos colliding with Polian & Wilson. Also, I heard towards the end that Polian really started showing a lack of respect for Wilson towards the end, even calling him out in a season ending meeting the last year. Polian, at that time(still is) probably figured he could name his price as he was one of the hot shot gms of the league. It is too bad it didnt work out because the guy new knows how to run a team. Butler was good on draft day, but miscalculated greatly on giving out salaries & was loyal to a fault with players.
  4. Give me a break, they dont have so much talent on each side of the ball. What they have is very good coach, a qb that knows how to manage a game & decent special teams. What that will get you is 8-9 wins & probably just on the outside looking in for the last wild card. If you think your overtaking New England you are dillusional. The jets are no better then the bills expect for one thing, they have a qb that could manage a game.
  5. I never said he sucks because he is boring. Anybody with a brain could see the coaches are scared to death to let this guy run an offense. Why do you think that is the case???? Because they see him in practice everyday & know that he will loose them the game 9 out of 10 times if they give him a chance to. Look, I have been going to the games for 10 years, I know what I see, he has no pocket presence, he is not accurate, he cant read a defense & his teammates dont rally around him. So dont put words in my mouth.
  6. Actually if you really want to go find out where it started to go wrong was Butler's last draft here.
  7. & BTW, if you think getting negative 2 yards in the red zone is going to beat manning you are dillusional. See every once in awhile in the National Football League, especially in a hostile environment, you need your qb to step up & actually make a play. It is pretty evident, at this stage of his career, Losman is not capable of doing this. When he needed to make a play, he threw ot 10 yards out of bounds to evans.
  8. Maybe we could bring back bledsoe for a reunion tour. It worked wonders for the franchise the 1st time around.
  9. Why am I unbelievable. All I said was Im sick of seeing our qb throw for 80 yards.
  10. Because we are sick of seeing our Qb throw for 80 yards a game.
  11. Right about now I would love to have Gerrard as my qb.
  12. The reason why there is little pressure on guys like Manning & Brady are that teams no that if they come after them, they are going to get burned. There is no fear of that with Losman. Have you seen once this year Losman call an audible to a pass when teams put 9 guys in the box. Face it guys, Losman sucks. The only qb I would not take over him right now is Andrew walters, & that is even a toss up. He is a durable version of Rob Johnson.
  13. i just hope we have a chance to draft Quinn next year. I was willing to give Losman the benfit of the doubt this year, but it is pretty obvious to me this kid has no idea what he is doing. Some of his throws, you wonder how an NFL QB could make such a bad throw. Case in point yesterday the long pass to evans, evans had his guy beat by a step, it would of took a nice throw, but what does losman do, he throws it 10 yards out of bounce. I dont want to hear how our line sucks & the playcalling sucks. Look around the league, I really think we have maybe a tad below average line. A good qb will make an ave line look decent, the problem here is defenses know losman is not going to beat them with the pass, so on obvious pass downs they could come full bore. One last thing, it is so obvious that the coaches have lost all confidence in losman. When your only throwing 12-15 times per game, they are so scared of him costing them the game, they have no choice. Draft quinn, & let holcomb or any other journeyman qb you could find qb the team for the first 8 games until they are out of playoff contention again next year & then let quinn do his thing.
  14. I have the ticket so I watched most of the 4th quarter of that game. Here is my opinion of what you need from your qb. Most of the time in todays nfl you need your qb to simply manage the game. But there are going to come 1 or 2 times in most games especially on the road, where you need your qb to stepup & make a big play. That is the most discouraging thing about losman this year. It is not that his numbers are horrific or he is throwing bad ints, he has not stepped up & made a big play when his team needs it. Rivers was terrific yesterday. I know he has lt & gates & a good line but if you watched the game yesterday he was scrambling around moving around in the pocket & made plays when his team needed them.
  15. I would tell you good luck, but you dont need it. It is going to be a blood bath out there sunday. With that being said, get the f**k off our board.
  16. I wouldnt exactly call Travis a high character guy. Having sex with a 15yr old & getting suspended for substance abuse is not exactly the kind of character Marv wants in the lockerroom.
  17. I see it from both sides. I have a white collar job however my wife's family all worked at GM/A Axle. Believe me I have butted heads with her father many of times about Union greed & how they are a big problem with driving the manufacturing jobs out of this country. With that being said, this commercial is not only offensive preying on American pride, but it is hypocritical of GM also. Plus the song is annoying.
  18. I couldnt agree more. The song sucks & mellonhead should give it up. Old f**k. This our truck, this our country, tell that to my brother in law who just lost his job at American Axle because Chevy sold there contract for axles to a plant in Mexico.
  19. I guaranty, you are going to see next year the real benefits of this years draft class. The defense, with a little tweaking will be top 15 next year. Mark it down. Mcgargo & Williams will anchor the line & Whitner & Simpson(with possibly Youboty) will lock down the secondary. There wont be the rookie mistakes you are seeing this year. I still say, if we are picking somewhere between 8-12(which I expect) you take the best linebacker on the board. Let Spikes come back(Im confident he will be the old spikes next year) look at Julian Peterson, say goodby to fletcher(i think his time has come) & you have a prettyy good lbcking corp with Spikes, Crowell & hopefully your stud middle linebacker you picked up in the draft. Sign a CB to replace playmaker & throw whatever fa money you are going to spend on the offensive line. If your going to have to overpay for a guy like steinbach by all means do it.
  20. When the 03' draft was taking place, I was all over Steinbach. That is not hindsight either. I thought he would be a great nfl player.
  21. People may not agree with me, but I think our defensive tackle position has been taken care of in last years draft. Although, the results may not be what people wanted this year, people must realize that the bills on d are very green. Mcgargo & Williams I expect to get better next year(it usually takes Dts at least one year to fully reach potential for whatever reason) & although he has not had a great impact this year I still like Triplett as a rotation guy.
  22. When I was 14 or 15, I seen him in the mall. This was probably in 89 or 90. Me & my friends went up to him, I said nice game yesterday Mr Kelly. My friend had to kelly posters that he had purchased that day. He like "thanks alot guys, can I sign those pictures". He seemed pretty cool & hospitable.
  23. I dont know how any bills fan could forget this game. To be honest with you, besides Wide Right & Music City this is the one game that sticks in my craw most about being a bills fan. Absolute disgracefull display by the refs in this game. I still remmebr Pete Carrolls snide smile when Adam V ran it in for 2. Poetic justice came later that year as NE had to play without Bledsoe in the playoffs because I think of a broken finger & got hammered by Jacksonville in the first round. To this day, I despise P Carroll because of the tragedies in Foxboro that day.
  24. Good point, however remember this, alot of teams have money under the cap now. It is not like it was 3-5 years ago with only a handfull of teams having money under the cap to play around with. My opinion about clements is he is as good as gone. I would like to have him if we could sign him to 2nd tier fa cornerback contract. But when guys like Ken Lucas are getting 14 mill signing bonuses, you better believe the playmakers agent is going to be seeking a bonus somewhere north of that neighborhood. That is why it is vital to get Youboty into the lineup the last 9 games. See if this kid could handle the 2nd corner position. if he can great, then we could bump Mghee back to nickle & try to get a decent corner after the 1st wave of free agency ends.
