The Cincinnati Kid

From Chris Brown's Blog... Maybin is not a stud player in this league. This is why, from a guy who is around the team every single day. You can think what you'd like but those of us with football sense realize that while Maybin does have three sacks and three forced fumbles, they are not because he did anything great to make it happen. 2 - Hi chris The Bills considered Aaron Maybin a bust after two years, however he has been a productive player for the Jets this season. How and why did the Bills staff so seriously misjudge this player?? Go Bills Richard, Boca Raton, FL CB: I think it’s difficult for you to say the Bills misjudged Maybin. You fault the Bills for cutting him loose after two years, but you’ve decided he’s a playmaker after a few games? What has happened is Maybin is a pass rush specialist. He comes in on passing downs only and usually pursues from the back side. With other more respect pass rushing talent on the field with him (Calvin Pace) along with a strong inside linebacking duo, less attention is paid to Maybin allowing him to run plays down from behind. Personally I don’t think he’ll ever be more than a specialty player because he lacks football instincts. If he’s asked to read run-pass he struggles. In coverage he’s a liability. He tries hard and he hustles, but I still don’t think he’ll amount to much.

I think its truly amazing that nearly all of our playmakers never had anything handed to them. In today's world where a 17 year old high school basketball player can be on the cover of SI and ESPN covers national signing day for recruits, this is amazing to me. This is why we are winning and will do so for a long time.

I too think stevie has too much time on his hands...professional athlete, father of two young children...to have an instant of free time to think of a funny and easily done halloween costume is just absurd...Gosh, Get Back to the Film and Condition Steven! For goodness sakes!

hilarious

Really interesting post. Unfortunately the past does not mean as much in football. The turnover on our roster from just last year is significant. This is a new team. I like our chances to finish 10-6.

I started a similar thread before the Giants game and the first poster said "There are 12 games left" and the thread died. SMH I think Fred should be the MVP or Peyton Manning. Go BILLS

My thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. We are all saddened by the passing of this obviously wonderful person and football player. I remember hearing Jim Kelly talk about Kent Hull as his best friend and saw several pictures of the two together at Jim's hunting lodge in Elicotville. Every is talking about his character as a person before his accomplishments as a football player, and I think that is probably the way he'd want to be remembered. RIP Mr. Hull.

You know, today's loss was tough, but I love the way this team plays. I am thinking we can win our home games as well. I think we can sweep both the Jets and the Fins because neither team is that good. I think the Jets are way overrated. We played the run well today and if we can do that going forward, especially against the Jets, we should be able to finish at least 10-6. GO BILLS

LOL SO FUNNY!

Both Fred Jackson and Adrian Peterson entered the league in 2007, obviously Fred is little bit older, but they both came in during the same season. Fred has nearly 600 fewer carries than Peterson. That to me is nuts. Obviously, AP came in with expectation that he was going to be a workhorse and Fred did not, but I think this bodes well for Fred and the remaining years that he has left in the NFL. Yes he is 30, but obviously, as we all know, he does not have the same kind of miles on his tires as some other folks playing in his position. Just an interesting thing that I thought I would share.

Aaron Curry to the Raiders.

I was an 8-8 guy all off season. That said, I am now thinking 10-6 is very realistic. I am nervous about the Jeckyl and Hyde Giants and Cowboys both on the road as well as the Jets in NJ to close out a 3 game road trip. At San diego and at NE are going to be tough road games too. So, if we lose those five games and win the others (2 against Miami, Tenn, Jets at home, Den at home, and Washington in Toronto) we are 10 and 6.

Yup. Here is the LINK. http://www.nfl.com/schedules/tv/flexible

PFT's is hilarious!

We do it when we need to. We played with the lead for the entire game on Sunday. That, plus the fact that Eagles can't stop the run, there was no reason to risk throwing a long ball that could get picked by a free safety or one of their corners. You need to do things that will win you the game. Stretching the field was not something we needed to do, so we didn't do it.

It was Jonathan Smith from Georgia Tech. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Smith_(American_football)

As of right now I think there are a limited number of MVP candidates in the NFL after 5 weeks of football. Aaron Rodgers Tom Brady Wes Welker Fred Jackson Mathew Stafford My opinion is it has to be either Jackson, Rodgers or Stafford. Brady and Welker wash each other out because they are on the same team. I dont think Jackson will get the publicity needed to win the award because the Lions are the darlings of the NFL, the Pats are the Pats and Rodgers is the biggest name in the sport right now, but Jackson is every bit as deserving of the MVP. Its our job as Bills fans to spread the word! FREDDIE FREDDIE FREDDIE MVP MVP MVP

HAHAHAHA

That doesnt bother me. He clearly doesn't understand that while he does have Freedom of Speech under the Constitution, he does not have Freedom from Consquence for what he says. Bye Hank. It was fun.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha I got that text!

I dont think we got lucky on that call in the EZ vs. NE. It was right in front of my seats and it was a classic "No Doubt" call. It was a great play by Fitz too. I can't speak for how it looked on TV but I had a great view and I hope Fitz throws that ball every time.

Pretty funny. Clearly innaccurate in some areas, but funny nonetheless.

I would love for them to sign Trent!

I met him once and he was a total ass. Whatever tho, sometimes when you are a high profile person, you have to be an ass. I like Steve and I'll always enjoy highlights of his play for the Bills. Much respect to a dude who got ejected in his final NFL game. Love that!

Great Post Hindsight! Now that I know what we should have done during today's game, I can get on with my week. GO BILLS!
