Wilson from Gamehendge

I have a buddy from High School who is a big Michigan fan. He loved Mallett when he played at UM. I thought this Mallett kid was going to be the next Peyton Manning, the way my friend talked about it. Ryan Mallett is the perfect QB for Buffalo...I would rather have him over Andrew Luck, and especially Locker.

Jahvid Best will end up being the better, more productive RB.

Whitner is a KEEPER... ...Scott and Wilson are straight trash!!!

So, you saying the Patriots will? Because there WILL BE 2 teams from the AFC East, if not 3...in the playoffs! Bottom line is...the Jets and the Dolphins, are BOTH better than the Bills right now.

Confidence in yourself is what breeds champions. What else do you want them to say? "Oh, we are alright...probably won't make the playoffs...but we will go play some football for the fans?" I WISH someone on our team had the cahonas to be CONFIDENT...its just that we have nothing to be confident about...yet! However, I guarentee that that Jets and Dolphins both make the playoffs.

Head Coach - M. Shanahan > C. Gailey Offensive Coordinator - K. Shanahan > C. Modkins Defensive Coordinator - J. Haslett > G. Edwards Quarterback - McNabb > Edwards + Fitz + Brohm + Brown Left Tackle - J. Brown > D. Bell + J. Meredith Right Tackle - T. Williams > C. Green Offensive Talent - Redskins > Bills Defensive Talent - Redskins > Bills

Yeah I would hate a guy who came in as an UDFA and BUSTED his ass to learn a whole new position...not to mention, all the while becoming the best at that position. He did everything he was asked to do from Day 1...he caught Losman's first TD pass, he blocked a kick/punt (for a TD? cant remember)...he switched from Right to Left... He made it to the Pro-Bowl as a Left Tackle...and he deserved to be paid as a Pro-Bowl LT...not an UDFA TE. Can't say **** about him being injury prone....our whole god damn organization has been injured for 10 years! The dude did what we asked him to do, to the best of his ability...which is Pro-Bowl caliber...and Bills fans hate him? He has been the best O-Lineman we have had in like 10 years, we still have NOT found a replacement for him and there is nobody even close to his athletic ability as an O-Lineman on this team. We do not have one single Lineman who is Pro-Bowl caliber...except Eric Wood, but there are TONS of good Guards in the AFC. Bottom Line: We would be better off with him...than we are without him! Why hate him? Cause he held out for money...well, in that case...I hate CJ Spiller!

I hate Dick Jauron and wish him nothing but the worst.

Who everybody has been trying to destroy...and now everybody loves him!!! I was even told that saying Whitner would make the Pro-Bowl is not much a prediction at all...as if MANY are expecting it to happen! Maybin WILL shine this season...he will prove everyone wrong! (and for once Dick Jauron might be right!)

Then I will just reserve all judgement until after the season ends...so I can come back and say, "I TOLD YOU SO!" And how is it not much a prediction to say that about Whitner? Reed, Sanders and Polomalu are coming back from injuries...if they do not make the pro-bowl, there are many other safeties who have been better than Whitner. What I am saying is that, Whitner will be THAT good to outplay those other safeties who would replace the top 3 mentioned above. But how funny it is, everyone HATES Donte Whitner around here and talks so much **** about him....but all of a sudden some people catch wind of him having a good training camp and they think he is all of a sudden All-Pro? So, YES it is one HUGE major prediction to say he will make it at all...given how you fans think so highly of him! And I would bet anything that Brandon Spikes becomes the LB we fear on the Patriots...NOT Mayo. Here's another bold statement I have made and will continue to stand by...MARSHAWN LYNCH IS THE BEST ALL-AROUND RUNNING BACK ON THE BUFFALO BILLS DEPTH CHART! Everybody likes the Fred Jackson feel good story, but truth be told, if we had a decent team last year, he wouldnt have had those stats. He was ALL we had for the first 4 games...and even then, Lynch was going through a lot. I dont want a guy on my team because its a "good story"...I want my football players to have been good enough in high school to earn a D1 college scholarship and START for that team. Set records for that school. Get recognition...and get DRAFTED! Lynch and Whitner are 2 players I have NEVER bashed and I have ALWAYS supported them...I will continue to do so, and they will prove me right...while they prove most of you wrong about them. And, yes...PSU fan...so I will stand by Maybin...and I will watch him get his...he WILL open eyes this year. Bet on it!

oh and by the way !@#$...the compliment was coming from Bill Belichick...not a training camp reporter! must be you cannot read?

If you went back and looked through my post history....you would see... A. I wanted Brandon Spikes LONG before the draft. B. I said that IF we changed to a 3-4, Whitner would become a Pro-Bowl caliber Safety...and NOW that he is getting rave reviews from training camp, EVERYBODY is jumping on the bandwagon. C. I spoke of Cameron Wake LONG before he was mentioned on here....now he is a player, and somebody in the last couple days around here, was stating how we didnt know anything about him...and should picked him up. * I am not one of your guys on this board who go for the "i told you so"....for ANYTHING. I am somebody who knows alot about football and I can tell when a player is going to be something special...most of the time. But, the type of person you are comparing me to and the type of person YOU are.....are the main reasons I very rarely even visit this site anymore, let alone post on it. So you want some "I told you so moments"??? Here ya go... 1. Brandon Spikes will be a pro-bowl player by year 2-3. 2. Donte Whitner will be a pro-bowler (if Reed and Sanders are hurt). 3. Marshawn Lynch will be the Bills leading rusher in 2010-2011. 4. Cameron Wake will rack up close to double-digit sacks this year. 5. Aaron Maybin WILL rack up double-digit sacks this year. There's FIVE for ya.....now go suck at life somewhere else!

I said back during the draft that I thought this guy was gonna be a very good player. I was hoping the Bills would pick him up at some point. Now, I read this report from Camp...and it sounds like this guy is going to terrorize us for the next 10 years, and he will become somebody we absolutely cannot stand. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp...&id=5443212 • In each of the past two years, the Patriots have had 12 draft picks. All of last year's picks are back in this camp, giving New England an infusion of youth few teams in the league have. A number of second-year players -- offensive tackle Sebastian Vollmer, safety Patrick Chung, middle linebacker Tyrone McKenzie and wide receivers Brandon Tate and Julian Edelman -- are ready to become the next generation of Patriots. This year's class is already making a mark as well. Belichick never would come out and say it, but the rookie making a big mark in camp is former Florida standout linebacker Brandon Spikes. When Belichick says someone is an interesting player to coach and that he sees things that other players don't, that's coachspeak for this guy has the chance to be the Real Deal. I think Tate and Edelman are going to become big weapons too. New England is not losing much ground folks...Buffalo might be gaining...but no other AFCE team is falling.

I have said it again and again...the 3-4 will make Donte Whitner a STUD Strong Safety in this league. If Ed Reed and Bob Sanders remain hurt, and Polamalu struggles...Whitner MIGHT find himself in the Pro-Bowl. I would also bet that Marshawn Lynch proves all his haters wrong too. Same as Maybin...and I have said this ALL before. This year will be a big year for those 3, who many of the fans love to hate...Watch out for those 3.

I think that Gailey keeps 3...Edwards, Brohm and Fitzpatrick...going in THAT order. The Dolphins went with Pennington and Henne, when Henne was a Rookie. Brian Brohm was rated higher than Chad Henne...and that worked out pretty well for them. Pennington is just as injury, if not more, than Edwards. I believe that our Offense with be innovative like the Wildcat was, and at some points, it wont matter who are QB is. I think Gailey would be fine going with just Edwards and Brohm, with Levi Brown on the P.S.

http://www.nfl.com/trainingcamp/story/0900...e-right-mindset » Third-round defensive end Alex Carrington is the perfect five-technique player with long arms. According to one Bills coach, he should find his way into the rotation before long. Not much...but the coaches think highly of him already.

I think Nelson and Coleman will become very solid players...Bell will lose in a numbers game, so will Roosevelt...and both lineman have the potential to be solid backups.

WHAT A BUM...and people here wanted us to draft him...even in the earlier rounds!!! Snead sucks...GO RUDY!!! (GO Sun-Devils!) (Seems to me like another Brian Brohm story.)

The last 2 years, I have found if you roll up with a car full of people, to one of the side streets across from Fisher...most redsidents will let you park one car in their driveway or in front of their house. Throw them $5 and walk the 1/4 mile to the field.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d80bc...into-contenders Edwards has turned longtime-counterfeit Bills into contenders By Vic Carucci NFL.com Bills fans have embraced quarterback Trent Edwards, who has first-place Buffalo out to a 5-1 record. ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. -- Trent Edwards' game isn't defined by a particularly great throwing arm or by particularly nimble feet. His game is defined by his intelligence -- by his thorough study and understanding of the opponent, by his field vision, and, most of all, by his decision-making. Edwards is all about quickly and accurately reading the coverage and quickly and accurately getting the ball out of his hands and into the hands of a receiver. So when he took that hard hit from Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson two weeks ago, when the back of his helmet slammed to the ground and he suffered a scary-looking concussion, the immediate concern inside the Bills' locker room and among Buffalo fans everywhere was that the young quarterback's greatest asset might somehow be compromised. With Edwards missing for most of the game and J.P. Losman making repeated mistakes in his place, the Bills were overwhelmed by the Cardinals, 41-17. Losman wasn't the sole reason for the debacle, but the outcome did provide a vivid picture of just how bad things could be for the Bills without the man who had helped guide them to a surprising 4-0 start. By comparison, Sunday's 23-14 victory over the Chargers -- a bizarre game delayed by nearly 15 minutes because of a power outage caused by party balloons becoming entangled in power lines just outside of Ralph Wilson Stadium -- was an indication of just how far the Bills can go with Edwards at the controls. Through six games, Edwards has completed 70 percent of his passes, including 83 percent on Sunday. Trent Edwards in 2008 Opp. Gm Com.-Att. Yards TD-INT Result SEA 1 19-30 215 1-0 W 34-10 at JAX 2 20-25 239 1-0 W 20-16 OAK 3 24-39 279 1-1 W 24-23 at STL 4 15-25 197 1-1 W 31-14 at ARI 5 3-3 18 0-0 L 41-17 S.D. 6 25-30 261 1-0 W 23-14 If the widely held view that the 3-4 Chargers are/were an elite team without an elite record was accurate, then the 5-1 Bills legitimately belong in that elite category as well. And the main reason is Edwards, who was the biggest difference-maker against San Diego by completing 25 of 30 passes for 261 yards and a touchdown and no interceptions. Break out the party balloons! It was a typical Edwards game -- smart, efficient, effective -- and it proved to be extraordinary as his completion percentage of 83.33 broke Jim Kelly's franchise record of 82.16. He didn't let anything bother him. Not the first concussion of his 24 years on the planet, which caused him to miss the first of the Bills' two weeks of practice during their bye. Not the stadium's intermittent loss of power, which directly resulted in his being flagged for a delay-of-game penalty because the play clock wasn't working (San Diego's Philip Rivers also got the same penalty). Not the fact his starting center, Melvin Fowler, was sidelined with an injury. "That was really impressive, wasn't it?" Bills coach Dick Jauron said of Edwards, sounding as if he was sharing an observation while watching the game with a bunch of friends. "The guy is just a good football player -- a very, very good football player." Chargers strong safety Clinton Hart was extremely impressed by his first close-up view of the second-year quarterback. Like other San Diego defenders, he felt a combination of frustration and helplessness as Edwards completed 14 of his first 15 throws and went 19-for-21 through the first half. "He's precise, he's on point," Hart said. "He managed the ball well. He did a good job of getting the ball to the receivers. My hat's off to him." "I thought Trent Edwards went out there and played a great game," Chargers defensive tackle Luis Castillo said. "He got rid of the ball fast at times and made it hard for us to get to him." That was the story of the game and could very well prove to be the story of what is looking more and more like a Bills run to the postseason. Generally speaking, Edwards is tough to sack. The Chargers, who entered the game with 14 sacks, never got him to the ground with the ball. He has only been dumped 11 times in six games, and for the most part doesn't take a lot of hits in the pocket. With Edwards upright, the Bills can take full advantage of one of the league's best receivers, Lee Evans, who finished Sunday's game with eight receptions and a touchdown. They also can utilize a pair of solid pass-catching running backs, Marshawn Lynch and Fred Jackson, and get maximum production from journeyman tight end Robert Royal. The Arizona blowout notwithstanding, Buffalo also looks to have a playoff-quality defense. The Bills intercepted Rivers once and forced him to fumble twice. When it comes to special teams, the Bills remain the league's gold standard. During the offseason, Buffalo safety Donte Whitner guaranteed the Bills would reach the postseason. It was a bold call given the team's eight-year postseason drought. On Sunday, Whitner was feeling even more confident about his prediction than he had been after the 4-0 start. "I'm not a foolish guy," he said. "I'm not going to guarantee something if I don't believe in it, and if the guys on this team don't believe in it. I made (the guarantee) because of the participation that we had in (offseason workouts) and the knowledge that guys have." Especially the guy playing quarterback. "He's got a bright future in this league," Hart said of Edwards. "Hopefully, we see him later on."

As I mentioned in another post... I have 4 things I think will happen and surprise people this year... 1. Aaron Maybin fits perfect in the 3-4...racks up double-digit sacks. 2. C.J. Spiller ends up being the leading receiver. 3. Marshawn Lynch ends up being the leading rusher. 4. Brian Brohm wins the starting job, holds it down for 2 years. My BOLD STATEMENT for THIS thread will be... 5. Donte Whitner lives up to his #8 draft status. Maybe even a pro-bowl bid, but I doubt it. However, I think we will finally see him shine and be a solid safety in this league and a leader of this team.

I could care less about the polls... Marshawn Lynch WILL BE the Bills' LEADING RUSHER this year! CJ Spiller will be our leading receiver. Maybin will have double-digit sacks. Brohm will be the starting quarterback for the next 2 years. (those are my calls)

Don't know how to search for a topic already being discussed either do ya? http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?showtopic=115662

I think those guys stay around this year...but I could see them, as well as Kelsay getting cut next year for sure...especially if some of the younger guys have good seasons. I think Maybin will have double-digit sacks, Eric Wood will come back fine and be a dominant Center in this league for years, and Alex Carrington is gonna be a stud. I agree. I think Whitner and Byrd will be one of the best tandems in the league. Our secondary will be just as good as the Jets because our Safety position is stronger than theirs. No way Hardy gets cut....and NO WAY Ed Wang goes on the practice squard. They will NOT risk that.
