DieHardBillsFan Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I have friends who are fans of the Dolphins, Steelers, Falcons, and Jets. These guys know football just as well or better than many here. Every team has passionate fans who know the game well. As far as Dolphin fans I live in FL and not many have a clue what is going on in games or off season. What I am saying is in general most every Bills fan knows everything there is about the game and the team. I know all teams have passionate fans. That isn't really what I am talking about.

DieHardBillsFan Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 Hey Tim, since you were honest enough to say that we are probably going to be the bottom of our division, do you really think Trent Edwards is the guy for the Bills QB. In his 2 NFL seasons he started the Bills finished with loss after loss until it doesn't matter anymore after a great start to push the playoffs. Second question is why do you think this has happened. I personally don't want to believe it was his head injury since he came out in the San Diego game and played almost his best performance. Is it the cold, pressure, team injuries? 2007 Cleveland L 8-0 obviously it was a crazy snowy game. New York L 38-21 pass since they took this win to the super bowl Philly L 17-9 Not the best Eagles season either. 2008 Losses to division and 49ers at end of season. Then a pointless win in Denver which is why I said until it doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never a JP lover. I do not want to start over. I bought the jersey, I want TE to be the guy. I was just asking his opinion and looking at the second half losses. Pick and choose is not it. I am asking if he thinks there is anything to the second half collapses we keep seeing from TE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry about the 49ers game.. Very true. Pointless because they were out of the playoffs already. Win to Denver doesn't help the playoffs. The whole point for the Bills is making the playoffs... I really hope everyone knows that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieHardBillsFan Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 The win in Denver wasn't pointless to the Broncos or Chargers. I was saying the the Chargers win means he was fine after the injury in the Cardinals game. So I don't personally believe the Bills losses to finish the season was because of his concusion. Also trying to beat off people again, "not many have a clue" is also rash for Miami fans, again I am talking about the average fan of a team knowing as much as the average fan for the bills. Tim has been to more areas to see the fans from all over. Thank you for all the help but the questions are for Tim Graham. Really would rather know about your TE thoughts.

DieHardBillsFan Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 There is criticism and there is beating the proverbial dead horse. Welcome to the doldrums of the off-season. PTR Well guess what, I have read all of your comments already and I would like someone with real insight to take a stab at it. Last year I would say that the first half of the season was obviously weaker then the second and that we have a weak coaching staff, also lost Reed who was playing well in the first half. But I am not on this board for my thoughts. End of season losses happened for 2 years with playoffs on the line and just wanted to hear his take on it. My initial question was to get an honest, unbiased answer since he would actually go on a Bills board and tell us we will be the bottom of the AFC east. Love the honesty, hate to hear the truth but want to know. Throw the stones now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abqmarko Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Tim, Whats your thoughts on rookie interior lineman (Levitre and Wood) success level? There were certainly some decent rookie OT's that have started and done well-Ryan Clady, Jake Long, Joe Thomas, you dont see much with OG and C's though. Because the Bills success hinges to some degree on the above mentioned players i'd be curious on your thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimGraham Posted May 19, 2009 Share Posted May 19, 2009 Tim, I take it since there are no more Pisa updates that it means he is working out a contract with Buffalo and you don't want to reveal any info before he signs? Am I close? Ok, just answer this question, will I get to hear an announcer try to say Tinoisamoa and Posluszny combine to make the tackle? The reason I haven't been answering the questions is because I've been away from the board for a few days. I'm at ESPN headquarters for skull sessions. But I don't have any inside knowledge on how Tonoisamoa's visit went or if the Bills plan to sign him. Sorry I can't provide an update at the moment.

Then a pointless win in Denver which is why I said until it doesn't matter. He sure did look great the first third of last year. This came up at our blog summit at ESPN headquarters, that everybody thought he was a Pro Bowler. AFC South guy Paul Kuharsky was laughing that he thought he was looking at the next Manning or Brady with the Jaguars victory. Then the wheels fell off. I think his confidence was shattered by the game in Miami, where he stretched the ball for a first down like he was trying to break the plane of the end zone. It was a boneheaded play, and Joey Porter merely swiped the ball from him. That was the first of a long string of mental mistakes from a guy who had been pretty sharp up until then. Interceptions, fumbles, sacks because he was indecisive. The offense was tailored for short, quick passes. It'll be interesting to see if a few months away brings his swagger back. And he needs to stay healthy. A decent year in which he missed two or three games makes it very hard to trust him with your franchise moving forward.
