The Dean Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 The receivers were fine last year. Aside from Royal, nobody dropped the ball. The play calling went with short dumps and they couldn't unleash Lee Evans. Talk like that makes me suspect you actually watched the games.

Thurman#1 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 What I find odd is why did our receiving corp blow last year, yet this year all these quality guys are "buried" on the depth chart. Evans and Reed were good last year. And guys often make huge steps up between their first and second years (listen up, Hardy). Also, bringing in T.O. this year, well, it might well bury a guy or two.

billsrcursed Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Here's an indicator of how the nation's economy got so out of whack. When I moved to Florida, I was preapproved for a mortgage that would have allowed me to buy 1 Deer Run. That was a red flag because there's no possible way I could have afforded that -- then or now. Two years later, I'm at ESPN and making roughly 40 percent more than I did at the Palm Beach Post and have a credit score over 800. But I can't get qualified for a modest home in Tonawanda. That, good sir, is a crime... and I own a house in Fl. and used to live in Tonawanda. I got a little sick in my throat reading this.... Good luck to you, and nice credit score!!

You got that right. Lenders were tripping over themselves to 'give away' money! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not surprising, Tonawanda is a much nicer and better place to live than Palm Beach, Florida. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 That's not surprising, Tonawanda is a much nicer and better place to live than Palm Beach, Florida. IMO, it has more to do with the fact the lenders who finance homes in Tonawanda actually want/expect to be paid back... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 Tim, when the Bills are offering free agent contracts, do they ever offer 1 year deals? We know the T.O. deal was for one year, but it came up in another thread that they may refuse to offer other free agents 1 year deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Tim, do you have any info on the situation wrt Vince Wilfork? Today, he called his missing the OTAs a "family decision." Do you think that this is a Jason Peters type situation? To add a little TSW history, our friend R.Rich was screaming to draft this guy in 04. I know that he is hated here and with good reason, but imo he is top 5 in the NFL at his position. Putting him next to Stroud would instantly make ours a feared defense. It might even be hard for Jauron to screw things up. I can dream, can't I? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsObserver Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Tim, I loved your 'Observations from minicamp' notes on your ESPN page. Is that something we can expect pretty often? For those unaware, the link is here. Good to see them running the no-huddle and Trent looking good doing so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Tim, I loved your article about Trent Edwards and completely agree. People want the glamor of the QB position, but then don't want the scrutiny. In my personal opinion, the Bills are top 5 in total offensive weapons. I know their O-Line is suspect, but I believe that the Mannings, Brady, Brees, Warner, and even Farve would have a field day with these guys and put up huge numbers. For me, Trent has to prove he can take advantage of these weapons and prove he can stay healthy. If he misses even 2 games, I think he will have proven himself too much of a risk to put all our chips in. In your opinion, or from what you hear, what does Trent have to do this year to prove himself "the guy" and get that contract extention? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBill Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hey Tim - Maybe Marshawn was standing on the sidelines because he was practicing for his suspension. Seriously though enjoyed your minicamp notes an I hope Marshawn learns to take the high road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another reporter, I'd hate to name him because I don't want people to think they're always "on the record" when they're around me, said the same thing. He wondered aloud if the Bills were going for opening-day conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
