McGahee only busted his butt in Buffalo when he was trying oust Travis Henry as the starting RB. Afterwards, his production went downhill,

I agree. It's nice seeing all the rookies signed this early in the process, vice the day before training or into training camp.

Hopefully NFL network will pick him up.

It's nice to be able to stay connected. After a couple of weeks, I thought RF365 kicked the bucket for good. Goose was having a problem with his email getting verified, that's why he was only able to post once. Hopefully he'll be back on here soon.

http://www.buffalonews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20130613/SPORTS/130619553/two-bills-drive-1004 Tim Graham & Mark Gaughan from the Buffalo News provide their analysis of the 4 weeks of OTA's. What I liked hearing from the commentary is that the new defense is most most aggressive it's been since Gregg Williams was the HC. Sounds like Kiko Alonzo is fast, so hopefully that will translate into him being able to cover TE's & RB's in space (something the Bills LB's have been absolutely horrible about for years). A training camp/preseason battle to watch out for is Alex Carrington & Alan Branch.

Thanks for the update!

Good morning! Didn't expect to see you on here so early. The QB competition will be between Kolb & Manuel, Tuel most likely will be the 3rd stringer (I have no clue if Marrone & co will try and keep Brad Smith as the 3rd string/emergency QB like Cooter did). I would love to say that both Kolb & Manuel are better than Capt. Checkdown & Fitzpathetic, but I need to see them in action with the Bills. Anymore updates from Hugo? If you haven't done it already, checkout your mail from your profile, you'll see messages from Jethro/anello, Joma & myself.

That's me! How have you been? I actually found RF365 from Twobillsdrive years ago as they used to post the Bills articles that were written when the site had authors (Connor Byrne & Anthony Bialy). In regards to the QB competition, I'm not sure who will be the starter come Week 1. I need to see Kolb & Manuel during training camp & preseason to get a better evaluation of these guys. I just hope that neither one of these guys are "training camp monsters" like Trent Edwards & Keith Ellison (guys that looked great in training camp & preseason, but were terrible in the regular season). I sent you a message so make sure you check your mailbox on your profile.

I'll one up that...Not acquiring the right GM's, coaches and players

That's been a problem with Bills coaches over the years, not properly using the talent on their roster.

http://www.buffalobi...50-23c1d895abe2 Nice to see the offense bounce back today in the last session of minicamp. 5 weeks to go until training camp. A lot of parks in WNY are looking runned down these days.

I'm hoping Hackett will know how to properly use his RB's vice how Cooter used CJ & Freddie. At the moment, it's tough to say who will start. I need to see what happens in training camp and some preseason games as well to get a better feel on who will be the starter come Week 1.

These talks about the peace bridge, as well as the waterfront development have been going on for over 30 years. I just hope that a new peace bridge will be in place before the old one falls apart.

We'll see how this translates to the regular season as Boss Hogg, Cooter & the Stache sold us on how the Defensive front 4 would create all the pressure in the world against the opposing offense.

RF365 is short for www.realfootball365.com. Years ago, Two Bills Drive used to post articles regularly from www.realfootball365.com, which is how a lot of us got on there. Live long and prosper!

I like Steve's P&O and would gladly take one here in VA. I love Schwabl's beef on weck, especially their german potato salad. There's way too much politics in Buffalo, which is why the waterfront and new peace bridge plans have gone nowhere. On RF365, we discuss a lot of different topics. When it's back online, you're more than welcome to check it out.

With 3,054 posts (and counting), I wouldn't call it being a "short timer" or the "real" website. Not everyone posts on the same websites, so we're just trying to stay in touch. Is there something wrong with what we're doing?

I know that we can have multiple threads discussing multiple topics, but you're completely missing the point here. Us RF365ers are trying to stay in a centralized location for the time being until our website comes back up. Others are more than welcome to join in on the conversation(s) as we discuss multiple topics. Haven't those talks, as well as the waterfront development been going on since the early 80's? You're making me hungry! I haven't had a beef on weck from Steve's in a long time. After going to Schwabl's, I haven't been back to Steve's since. In the words of the late Ronnie James Dio "LOOK OUT!!!"

Just wondering, but why did Joma's last 2 posts get deleted? I understand that every site has it's rules and regulations in regards to personal attacks etc..., but is it wrong to have a negative opinion on things? Aren't posters allowed to argue with each other? After 13 years of terrible football, I think it gives a lot of people the right to be negative about this team.

http://www.trendingbuffalo.com/sports/buffalo-sabres/sabres-talking-trade-with-avalanche-for-top-pick/ Sabres are talking trade with Colorado and Florida for their 1st round draft pick. If this happens, I wonder if we'll see Miller and/or Vanek involved in the trade, or will the Sabres send their 2 1st round picks to either Colorado or Florida?

At the moment, this link is the temporary home to us folks from realfootball365.com. We talk about numerous subjects relating to the Bills, WNY, food, and life in general, which is why this thread is listed in "Off the Wall."

Brad Smith, as well as CJ Spiller were both underutilized under Cooter (for those non-RF365'ers, Cooter is Chan Gailey, Boss Hogg is Buddy Nix, and Mary Owen is Daisy Dukes (okay, I just made that one up about Daisy)). Yes, Smith did well during the very few times he was in the game in the wildcat by picking up first downs, but his contributions were too few and far between (again, that was on Cooter). Question is, will Hackett be able to get more out of this offense, and guys like Spiller & Smith then his predecessor did?

After the past 13 miserable seasons, I don't want to see a Bills QB just take the team to the playoffs, but one that will actually win a superbowl. Maybe I'll have better luck with with the Megamillions or Powerball.

I'm interested in seeing if Hackett can get the most out of the players on offense. It's clear that Cooter underutilized Spiller, and had no clue what to do with Brad Smith. Still no luck on RF365. It's up, but shows the same message when you click on the latest article.

The T-Jax cut means more reps for Manuel. Next question is, does Bills management see enough to keep Tuel as a 3rd QB, or are they planning on using Brad Smith as their 3rd stringer to save on a roster spot?
