The Big Cat

He answered the question honestly. In the unlikely event the team does move to Toronto, are we expecting our players to refuse their paychecks and not move with them? If it was off-record, then the only dick in this scenario is the reporter, plain and simple.

I do, however, consider it among my finest efforts.

Um...since we haven't been to the playoffs during this millennium, isn't it fair to say the Bills haven't had a single meaningful win--road or otherwise--since the 90's? Seems like Schoop's trolling, per always.

I got a feeling that post (which, admittedly, was a bridge too far) didn't survive the great Beerball purge. Didn't look though.

2008, at home against SF, in the cold and rain. Trent benched halfway through the game from JP. Just awful.

Sorry, but less than 25 simply isn't realistic.

Big Ben averaged 21 attempts per game as a rookie and 22 per game his second year. Last year he averaged 36. EJ averaged 30 attempts per game. I'd like to see him between 25-30 next year.

Surely somebody has already raised the point that "ever" is entirely relative.

I would argue that the Bills have not had an offensive player since the playoff drought whose mere presence dictated the defense like either of those players. I'm willing to acknowledge exceptions to the rule I conveyed before, we just haven't had one on our roster. One could safely make the case that Calvin Johnson is the second greatest wide receiver of all time and Adrian Peterson has been--by far--the most consistently dominant player at his position for the latter part of the last decade. There simply are no equivalents on the Bills roster, that we've seen, at this time. You're inching dangerously close to the decoy argument.

Yeah, except I subscribe to the belief that every skill-position player 'opens up plays' for his teammates. When we cut Lee Evans, you would have thought this contribution was entirely indispensable and a reason to keep a player. I didn't buy that argument then, and I won't buy it for CJ, either.

Well, tangentially, I suppose. But I'll go back to the Lee Evans-turned-Stevie-turned-CJ (I guess) decoy-assertion that I roundly reject and always have.

Play four: EJ fails to execute. Play six: Offensive line fails to execute/Jets make the correct read Play nine: Urbrik whiffs. I don't ever recall making the argument that CJ failed when and only when he failed to execute. There were obviously major issues up front last year.

This argument takes a step back when those critical of CJ are painted with the 'hatred' brush. Just sayin

I'd like some more specificity too. I've cited several all-22 reviews which showed Spiller just blatantly missing holes, mis-reading blocks and doing the WRONG thing to create plays (bouncing it to the outside rather than cutting up the middle). Often times he does this because that's where defenses are funneling him. So, if he plays right into the D's strategy...isn't that on him.

Since I ended up inexplicably carrying the so-called "anti-Stevie" banner, allow me to swoop in and offer you a much-needed ally since you are not alone in questioning CJ's actual value to this team. I don't think anyone questions his potential value, but he left A LOT of yards on the field last year for the same reasons he has since his rookie season: poor vision and poor patience. So while he hits a 45 yard dinger from time to time (and yes, some of his runs are nothing short of spectacular--I'm thinking of his long TD run against Atlanta last year), he bounces for a loss or rear-ends the interior line FAR too often. I don't blame Bills fans for wanting to be blind to their players' weaknesses (Lee Evans and Stevie were both prime examples of fans resisting criticism of highly flawed players). But, it Spiller's case, he has A LOT to prove to the front office that didn't draft him. And a bunch of ****ty runs with a long run every four games (hate to break it to Bills fans, but some of those runs, like his TD in Cleveland last year are kinda fluky) aint gonna do it. It's clear that the coaching staff wants someone who will charge up the middle, punish LB's and open up the outside for Sammy. Gailey is gone. CJ aint the focal point anymore. And that's not necessarily a bad thing.

At this point, I'd accept a bag of farts for Buffalo Barbarian.

Mario for Skelton. Now CJ for Osweiller. Bro. Come. On.

That was a result of botched Botox.

Pennington is the ceiling and hopeful-trajectory for Tuel. Smart, decisive, noodle arm. You could do a hell of a lot worse as your backup, particularly when you're a run-heavy team.

Same location as the party. There's a second Bills bar up the street too.

To the game? I think it's sold out. Otherwise, I'd imagine you'd be hard pressed to come out of a transaction under $200

hope, restored

Shoot an email to billsbackersofchicago@gmail.com send names and numbers, por favor just remind via email of names, etc. nevermind, i got you the bulkier the list we can give the bar, the better position we'll be in to get more stuff!

TANGENT The term jumping the shark starting catching on in like 2006. And what you've described above is not jumping the shark. You've defined trite. We could always just go back to calling things trite.
