  1. My first thoughts when I heard about his injury were "I wonder if he regrets taking way less money for a shot to win Super Bowls now that his career may be cut short." The way I look at it these guys have to get everything they can while they're still able because they never know when their careers will be done. Of course, I realize my view isn't the prevailing fan view.
  2. I can pretty much guarantee you'll be the only one with one of those!
  3. I'll agree Clements was one of the best last season, but let's see if he can do it again. The year before last Clements was toasted so often that even my wife, who only half way watches the games, was commmenting, "who is that number 22 that gets beat all the time." Clements has all the talent in the world, but he needs to put it together every week and be consistant. He was last year, let's see if he can continue with that trend.
  4. By increasing his productivity I suppose you mean moving from the 3rd WR in the AFC in receptions to 2nd or 1st? The guy had 88 receptions last year, if people think that Evans can put up those types of numbers they're kidding themselves. Evens is more explosive but he'll never be the "go to" guy that puts up those types of receptions, he simply doesn't have the body type, and frankly, its a waste of his skills. A Team needs an explosive guy and a productive guy, we have that now. If Moulds leaves we'll have to replace him with a WR capable of putting up 80+ receptions every year and leave Evans to keep doing what he did last year. The only problem I see with Moulds' game from last year is his ypc could be about a yard more, which would put him right there with Marvin Harrison, Chad Johnson and Hines Ward.
  5. A new DT in the middle will probably contribute to Fletcher getting fewer tackles as more OL will make their way through and get their hands on the LBs on running plays.
  6. Why would an agent care what the fans think or care about his public perception? I'd wager that these guys think they're doing a great job if they're hated by the fans...
  7. J.P Losman: under 15 TD's under 15 int's Willis Mcgahee: under 1,500 yards over 12 touchdowns Nate Clements: under 6 interceptions Aaron Schobel: over 10 sacks Buffalo Bills: 8 wins exactly
  8. You have to run the scout team, which means lots of film study and preperation. There is work involved other than on Sundays.
  9. Agreed, Possey does a fine job. He's not a stand out player, but he plugs away and doesn't make many mistakes. In fact, I'd say Fletcher makes more mistakes than Posey, granted, he makes of hell of a lot more plays too.
  10. For the life of me I can't fathom why there's so much hatred/dislike for Henry on this board. The guy put everything he had on the field for the Bills, and that's all you can ever ask of a player. Did he has deficiencies? Sure he did, all players do. Henry was absolutely right: It was a slap in the face to draft WM (though this doesn't mean that TD shouldn't have drafted WM, to the contrary). Henry was just coming off a pro-bowl season. To those who argue he should have "stayed and fought" for a starting spot, a guy who's last full season as a pro-bowl player doesn't have to prove he's a quality back, he's already done so. No player in the league would want to come to camp to "compete" against someone that he knows is going to beat him out no matter what he does. WM is the better back, we all know this. But because there's a better back on this team doesn't mean the guy has to sit on the bench an entire year in the prime of his career. Henry knew he'd get way more money in a trade than he would sitting out a year in addition to the quality playing time all players desire. Anyway, I'll do the opposite of what the other posters in this thread have done. I'll genuinely thank Henry for his time here and the effort he put out while on the field and wish him luck in Tennessee. The funny thing is, I was never a huge TH fan, I just don’t get the automatic hatred fans have for players once they no longer play (or want to play) for their team.
  11. The playoffs, in any sport, are only an "awesome thing to behold" because you're watching the very best pair off for weeks in a row. Allow everybody into the dance and the quality of the game isn't any better than the regular season.
  12. Except not at all. My wife got a call late last year and ended up moving to a new company with a 40% raise in base pay and 60% more cash from the bonus. There are many many companies out there that use headhunters to bring in employs. Blowing them all off is a bad move. Do a little research on the company the headhunter works for and make sure they're legit. Most likely the way they got your name is from a former client that worked with you that thought you might be interested in a move.
  13. No, that would be LEAN POCKETS!!
  14. Someone should tell him that Henry wasn't a 1st round draft pick...
  15. You know, normally I'd agree with you that "exciting" doesn't win games, but the Falcons record with Vick in the lineup is a whole lot better than the Falcons record without him in the lineup. He's one of the few guys that can win games with his feet....he'll just never win the big games unless he learns to be a more efficient passer (which I'm not sure he can do as inaccurate as he is).
  16. Pat knew that by choosing the Vikes that he'll have a great shot at going to the Super Bowl this year....all he's got to do is buy some tickets from Tice.
  17. I've been to many Bills/Jets games, a Bills/Falcons game and a Bills/Patriots game and have never had any problems whatsoever at any of the stadiums. I'm convinced that the people who do have problems at away games are either poor winners, poor losers or that they just got unlucky and sat next to some drunk idiot. The biggest problem I've ever had at a game was a RWS...opening day a few years back when the Bills crushed the Pats some drunk idiot that could barely stand up started saying random rude stuff to the people in the section...for no reason whatsoever. His friends tried to keep him in check, but the more they asked him to STFU the more belligerent he became. In fact, I've been to 5 games at Rich Stadium/RWS and I've never seen so much fighting, drunken or rude behavior at any of the away venues. I have a 1 year old boy and, sadly enough, once he's old enough to go to some games I'll feel safer taking him to an away Jets/Bills game than I would taking him to Buffalo.
  18. Yeah, though I'm not sure they nailed his evaluation rating. A guy that can't block, drops lots of passes and can't stay healthy isn't a "red chip plus" in my book.
  19. You know, most players entering the final year of their contract generally try to get an extension before the current contract expires...I wouldn't tag this one on Rosenhaus.
  20. And what's the purpose of telling the public that the threat levels have changed? The levels changing certainly doesn't effect how people react to their environment in their every day lives, its not like the American public has been trained on what they should do depending on the threat level. So again I ask, what's the point? The point is two fold. First, it is simply a pass the buck system so if something does happen they can say, "well, we warned you!" Secondly, it’s a marketing campaign that sells fear and safety to the public all at the same time. Fear that there are outside forces constantly trying to harm Bob Smith in Idaho and safety that we're lucky that these swell individuals in Washington are on top of it enough to know when an imminent danger is on the horizon. You sell fear to the public and they'll okay any changes to government that get passed. There's no accountability for the system, the public has no real way of knowing if a threat actually exists or if our government really did anything to prevent it. If that's the case, tell me again the point of announcing to the public that the "threat level" has changed? You say its easy to tear down and not to give suggestions, its just as easy to simply agree with anything the government gives us. My suggestion is to get rid of this dumb @ss system. Bottom line, this system is all about marketing and protecting the behinds of those in Washington. Telling the public of a color change doesn't add to the safety of said public in any way, shape or form.
  21. Its interesting that 10 of his overrated players play the safety position....and 6 of his underrated. That's 1/4 of the players listed. Someone appears to be hung up on Safties.
  22. He could end up staying if he has a solid year and Parrish looks to be a flop. I don't think its possible for him to have a "great" year being, at best, #3 on the depth chart in a run oriented offense.
  23. There is no such thing as a "healthy" Charles Rogers.
  24. Actually, I didn't realize you PMd me until you just mentioned it. My bad.
  25. Yes, creating a fictitious 15-year old sister is a terrible thing to do. I should be ashamed of myself. Only people looking to take offense at something would take offense at that.
