Dont play fantasy football at all. And i would probably have called a lot of you guys nerds back in the day. However we are all brothers now in our support for the Bills. Any you guys keeping an eye on Matt Ryan? Just got Gonzolaz, already has Roddy White, Jenkens, and Harry Douglass. Line should hold up pretty good.

That is your way of looking at it. If Scott is so good why did he not stick around on the Falcons? Last time i checked they needed some safety help too. Scott was the best other option before Byrd. Now it is Byrd and Whittner. Oh and Scott was drafted in the secnd round by the Falcons to play CB, he was to slow and never worked out. They cut him and Buffalo picked him up.

Could not agree more with you my friend. Lots of guys here know dates and salaries and stats. But have no clue about the actual game itself.

Never said he wasn't good. Just said he should not be a starter. The Bills must have thought the same thing or they would not have drafted Byrd.

Vick was just released by the Falcons today. His next step is getting Goddell to reinstate him. Then the media hype starts. And then he is back in the league. Jax anyone? Not like anyone goes to their games to protest him there.

Loved that too. McCarver has a great voice, only problem is he knows it.

Deion did have a few good years early on in baseball. I can remember him taking a helicopter from the football game he played in for the Falcons, to Fulton County Stadium to join the Braves for a playoff game. If memory serves me right he homered in the game that night. He was a decent leadoff man his first couple years. He was an incredible cover corner for the begining of his career as well. I think alot of people forget what he did those first 3-5 years out of FSU. Due to the fact that he continued to play football for so long.Bo was good dont get me wrong. But my money is on Deion. Part of being a great athlete is longevity. IMO

The article stated the Bills cut these five guys to get down to 75 players. You can only have 80 players on the team in the offseason. Hopefully this means the Bills will start signing some of their 8 draft picks. Joel Bills is an interesting story. Have a feeling the Bills are maybe trying to sneak him thru waivers and resign him to the practice squad. Bell is a mammoth guy that hasnt played the game long. He is learning and could develope. He will need a few years before any team knows what he has to offer. IMO.

Ok the fact that i have to explain this tells me what i am dealing with. The phrase 'tallest midget' refers to the fact that Scott is the most talented out of a very talentless bunch. KO has never panned out and Wedling is a special teamer. Scott is a back up at best. That is why Russ Brandon and the boys took Byrd. It has nothing to do with height. And i spoke with anoth scout whose exact words were that Byrd will make an 'impact this year'. This scout works for another team that drafted a safety later in that same round. Oh and calling people retard, just makes you look even more ignorant. Damn the arrogance of some people on this board is astonishing. Especially when it is coupled with the ignorance. ans4e64, you my friend, are hopeless.

You like Scott at SS? Or is it that he is the tallest midget at the position? Sorry but i dont like Scott as a every down safety. He is and has always been a back up. In Byrd the Bills got a player that will make an immediate impact this season. He will probably stand out more then any other player the Bills drafted this year. Not saying anything against Brown i hope he does a great job. But lets put the pads on and hit for real before we pass judgement. And he is probably taking first team reps because Peppers is a no show.

I have heard all this talk about Mcnally, and i even bought into it for awhile. Then i started thinking, did the Bills have a dominating offensive line and i missed it? No they did not. He might have been a good instructor, maybe good at teaching individuals the fundementals of the game, but as a unit the Oline was never dominating under him. Then news came out of Philly that they are haveing to coach up Peters. Now is that a product of poor Bills coaching, btw everyone credits McNally as the guy who turned Peters into the LT he is. So i dont think McNally is such a loss as everyone thinks. I would rather watch a young progressing Oline with a lot of potential, then an Oline with a bunch of underachieving vets. To me it seems like the Bills went across the Oline and said keep him and him(Walker and Butler) id like to keep him but cant (Peters) and he is a good swingman/backup guy so keep him(Chambers). Everone else goes pretty much. And to be honest i cant arguee with it one bit. One definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again, and expecting different results. The Bills FO (and most of us) saw the Oline was underachieving and made some bold and drastic moves. I for one give them credit. How long it takes them to come together is the key to this season. If they give Edwards time and open lanes for Lynch and the boys, then this will be a fun ride!!!! Oh and you guys that say it isnt going to happen are just as right as those of us who say it can happen!!!

Exactly. BB i have a feeling you started this thread for attention. You got it. As any guy here that ever played football at any level, pee wee, high school, college, or pro knows nothing is accomplished for real till the pads go on. Once you start putting the shoulder pads on, then the men go to the front and the boys to the back. Honestly do you know the difference between a football and a watermelon?

I am not exactly bitter towards Crowell, but i really did not like how he handled himself last year. And maybe the Bills Doctors knew he really needed the surgery he got, therefore put him on IR. Wow the Bills are not as dumb as people think. But that article does clear up wether or not he should/could have played at all last year. And if he is tenative, that does not sound good. Hope he has a good year for the Bucs, except for when the Bills play them.

I think you are exactly right. And i think that is also why the Bills went out and drafted the best pure rushing DE in the draft. Everyone in the AFC east knows you got to beat NE to win the division. The only way to do that is put Brady on his butt a bunch of times during a game. You let him get comfortable back there, with those recievers, and you are done. Bills realize they have to get more pressure on opponents. Then we as fans will really see how good our DBs look. I think Buffalo has potentially the best defensive backfield in the game. Given they dont have to cover guys for 5-6 seconds, they could really start to make some big plays. You are usually not going to score a lot of points on the Pats. They may give up the occasional 30 points here or there. But the real way to beat the Pats is pressure Brady and run the Ball.

For what its worth he sounded pretty decent in my opinion. The guy just got finished working out. And he had 5 microphones shoved in his face. How many of us out of shape middle aged guys would be able to speak after a rigorous work out? He actually put sentences together, and sounded fairly inteligent. Got to say i was expecting a lot worse from some of the comments on here. Now if he would just stay out of trouble, he would not only sound inteligent but would be inteligent.

Maybin will not be a starter this year. He will play some with Schobel. If Schobel stays healthy and Maybin plays good then you have two good players at DE. Denney and Kelsay are around as run stopping DE. The Giants proved a few years ago you cant have enough good DE in this league. Maybin could also play opposite Schobel in obvious passing downs this year. Could create a miss match for opposing teams. If Maybin developes and Schobel is healthy, like he claims.

How many 'Stars' does Pitts have? I mean seriously? Not trying to stir the pot. But outside the QB position the Steelers have a good solid team. Not many superstars at all. Just guys who know what they are suppose to do, and they are well coached. Great coaching w good/hardworking players is better then average coaching with great players.

If Jansen starts over Butler then the Bills really would be screwed. Butler will probably be the best Olineman on the team THIS year. With Woods developing while starting.

I like what you said overall about the Bills players. But unless they get a pass rush going in front of them, no corner looks good after 4-5 seconds. I also think Byrd will be defensive rookie of the year.

If what you are saying is right(about being bumped). And i do not doubt it. Then you have to run him in motion. That is the best way to neutralize bump coverage. Haveing said that i just dont see how he gets in much as wide reciever. Atleast not with this current recieving group. If Reed gets hurt, then maybe he can see the field some. He would be a nice weapon if used maybe 5-6 snaps a game. And have 2-3 balls thrown his way.

I think Butler at Rt will be very good. He has the size and agility. The one thing that hurt him last year was banging up his shoulder. The good thing about tackles is you use less shoulders and more arms/hands while protecting. Should be a good move and help him stay healthy.

Ding ding ding ding....we have a winner. Byrd would definetly not have been there. And i will go out on a limb and say i think he will make the biggest impact the quickest. Starter by the end of preseason. I have a friend who is a scout for a team. He told me that Byrd will be a player. He scouted him and the team he works for took a safety later on in the same round. If you listened to a lot of scouts, this years O tackle class was overrated. A lot of teams reached on tackles this year. Oher has a lot of questions. His own coaches said he was a 50/50 bust to good player.

I am with ya. I have no idea who Pisa is going to sign with. But to tell me Chicago is going to have an awesome O all of a sudden is just foolish. Lovie is as conservative as they come. And the Bears have never ever been an passing team. D first, run second, and then pass.

You missed the point of his initial statement. he said what if the Oline comes together, Dline puts pressure and the team as a whole plays good. Evans 'sucked last year. He was solid just like every year. Buffalo has players that have potential and have shown flashes of being good to great players. Evans Lynch Stroud Schobel Edwards Whitner McKelvin Owens McGhee On the Oline i would say Butler, Hangartner, and Walker have proved they can play good. The change in positions is a question for sure. Woods and Levitre displayed the mindset and skill in college, that needs to transition to the pros. Byrd will have to most noticiable and immediate impact this year of any the rookies. Maybin is a 50/50 guy. He could turn into the next great pass rusher for the Bills or he could bust out in 3 years. Huge risk but huge possible reward. I dont see him giving more then a couple of sacks this year. If the Oline and Dline produce and perform well then this team can win 10 games. Probably second in East and host a wildcard game. Injuries will tell the true story, because besides Dbs Buffalo has a big drop off in talent in depth players.

And i wonder what Illinois state taxes are compared to NY? Steve you are still a D bag.
