Lt. Dan's Revenge

Consider the source...

Stop with the age stuff. The guy JUST turned 30 in January, and there have been a ton of WRs in this league, ie Harrison, Holt, Owens, etc. who have had some of their best years statistically at 30+ years of age. The contract may be the only problem I see with bringing Johnson in, not age or production.

I can't come up with anything. From almost all accounts CJ is actually a really good teammate. Sure he is a showboat and wants the ball, but how many wideouts in this day and age can you name that aren't like that to some degree? Only a handful.

93 catches for 1440 yards and 8 touchdowns, as well as tying a career high in 1st down receptions with 74 leads you to believe his best years are behind him? Really?

Those three games were my thoughts. I'm really glad we are going to be playing San Diego coming off our bye and right before they travel straight to London...I think that can't be anything but an advantage for us.

I love the plan to get Sheppard, but I don't see why we wouldn't take a guy like Sweed or Thomas at #19 instead of a corner since we would have just picked up an elite one IMO. If that deal ever happens, take Sweed or Thomas at 19, then a tight end like Davis or Keller in the 2nd round.

Exactly. The home/away schedules for every team are developed years in advance, it has nothing to do with anyone "picking" on the poor Patsies. Even though I would be all in favor of that.

Actually, the REAL truth is that Yahoo Sports is the biggest joke on the web. I'd rather read articles from some guy in his basement doing his 30th mock draft of the year than anything most of their writers put out there.

I see your point, but IMO an O-line pick would be a bit of a luxury pick as well....Or maybe I'm just too much of a Brad Butler fan...

And Keepthefaith, why continue to waste your time posting on boards like this if your true faith level is basically the polar opposite of what your name stands for? I never understood this, and I'm not singling you out as the only one who does it. There is at least a handful of people on this board that insist on being negative about the Bills, almost irregardless of the topic. What is the point of spewing that type of negativity? Just to be proved right more years than not at the end of the season? It seems pretty pointless to me. The off-season in any sport is always about NEW HOPE, and if you don't have any before this season, after our very good group of young players on both sides of the ball have had more time to develop, key guys are coming back from missed time last year, a couple big time defensive players should have an immediate impact, and we hold a ton of picks in the draft in a couple weeks, I don't know when you will ever have any hope.

I'm not going to call any game an "easy" win before any season. There do seem to be a good amount of games that if the Bills have a good draft should be able to win on paper. That being said, I still think 10-6 or even 11-5 is not out of the question. The last few years I would predict around a .500 record, give or take a game. IMO it is more likely that they finish 10-6 or 11-5 this year rather than an 8-8, 7-9, 6-10 type year. For me at least, its starting to feel like anything other than a playoff berth is a pretty major dissapointment this year.

The corners obviously aren't exactly the brightest crayons in the box this year....

What a joke. I'm still one of the few people around here (it feels like) who is only going to believe it when he sees it.

I agree wholeheartedly. I hear more than a few people around here talking up Miami this year because Parcells is in town. Gimme a break. He was in Dallas for how many years and "led" them to how many playoff victories???? NONE. Not one. With triple the talent Miami has on their roster. Stop it.

Wow. I'm never a big believer in the previous years records meaning a whole lot as far as season outlook goes, but those numbers are def. pretty striking.

Getting the season opener at home gets me more pumped than having a primetime game for some reason.

Very well said. I used to be able to stand Bulldog, but not so much anymore...Lets not even get into his partner and what a piece of work he is.

Did they not already say that we were playing the Seahawks in Toronto or am I mistaken? Well, anyways: Season Opener home against the Jets. Home Monday Night game against the Chargers. Thanksgiving Night game home against the Browns. At the Patriots the week after they have their bye.

Touche. I had to remind myself that I was actually watching a football game half the time Gumbel was on...As far as Task goes, I think he's average, but he's also pretty new to the business so I have to give him the benefit of the doubt. His partner Gus Johnson is by far one of my favorite play by play guys though, no matter what sport it is. Gotta love his call when Roscoe took that punt to the house against the Broncos last year. Roscoe...With the seam...BANG, LIGHTS OUT! Roscoe Parrish! NO FLAGS.

I would be very happy with that if u substitute a corner such as Cason, Flowers or Terrell Thomas for Sims...I think CB is a bigger need at this point than DT.

Just because it requires a simple answer in your mind doesn't mean that when some people want to expand on the topic to include the "other" quarterback it's ludicrous. Have more of an open mind, some people think Losman sucks and maybe they're right. Others may think Edwards sucks and maybe they're right. Neither guys has proved anything yet IMO so don't just discount people's views on either guy.

Even if you have a hard on for Edwards, threads about him or Losman will almost always be connected with the other guy not in the subject area. The fact is that a decent amount of Bills fans still favor Losman, so quit whining everytime his name comes up until Edwards leads us to the playoffs.

61%, 3100 Yards, 24 Tds, 14 Picks, 10 Wins, PLAYOFFS

Right on both accounts, Calvin had four, and Thomas was in Hawaii. Interesting stuff though.

I now look forward to years that we play the Broncos just so that ItalianMobster can tell us how good Jay Cutler is.
