QB Bills

I've been saying it for months. He's the best cornerback on the team right now and he'll prove it by season's end.

not a fan of bart scott or the jets, but..."because i want to"??? what a dip****

full moon tonight?? edit...canks, you rascal you dadonkadonk...the full moon comment applies just to you now

I disagree. I think both Wilson and Byrd are far better than Whitner, and he's starting for the best D in football. In the salary cap era, you're not going to have pro bowlers at every position no matter what you do. The Bills have 3 on the D-line and another one possibly with Byrd (might be a stretch, I know). Barnett is an above average linebacker. The CBs aren't horrible (other than McKelvin, and he's way down on the depth chart). I think that's more than enough talent. How they complement each other is up to the signal caller. You can't honestly tell me that if Wade Phillips was coaching this D, it wouldn't be way better. Again, its still way too early to make any conclusions about anything, and hopefully we see some improvements, but I've got my doubts. This team is missing two pieces from being really really dangerous. Above average defensive coaching and a good QB (not even elite..just good).

Totally agree. I've got a bad feeling about Wannstache. There's enough talent on this defense to be really good. It seems as though they are still in preseason mode with the playcalling though.

Love CJ's game, but Fred's still better

I love this. This is what want out of the team I cheer for. Win or lose, just show some passion. Too many times over the last decade, I've felt that I care more about the result than the players do.

Thanks for the tips. I'm actually staying at The Clevelander. Hopefully they will show the game there. Any other suggestions are greatly appreciated!

That is the logical thing to do, I agree, but being a fan of this team is inherently illogical as it is. I suffer from the same sickness that many do on this board so my priority is the game Sunday afternoon. Anyone?

Fellow fanatics, I'm going to South Beach this weekend and wanted to know if there's anywhere close by that will show the game this Sunday. I know there's a Bills bar in Fort Lauderdale, but that's not an option. Assuming there are no Bills bars close by, has anyone had any success in finding a bar that is amenable to playing the game with audio and everything?

he usually does have good coverage...he just has no football sense...he could have easily batted that down, or maybe even come down with it if he timed his jump properly

This team really is cursed. I just knew a key guy would blow an acl and be out for the year in the opener. Was just a matter of who, not if. God hates us.

I thought Gilmore played well. He got beat on a couple of perfectly executed plays, but at times he looked like the physical corner this team needs. It wasn't his fault he was told to play 10 yards off his man. For f's sake, his twitter handle is BumpNrunGilmore...let the guy play his game! McKelvin and Williams are useless. I really wanted them to put Rogers in. Was he even active? I didn't see him on the field at all.

Thanks for pointing this out. How is this douchebag's dirty plays not a bigger deal? He went low at FJ's knee, and he did the same to Spiller soon after. Not to mention the late hit out of bounds. When will this team grow a pair and stand up to these kinds of guys? Wilfork does the same thing.

Some great evidence put out by the posters here about Fred being near the end, but I'll put my money on the guy who continually overcomes the odds to do it once again.

You were right the second time.

Justin f'n Rogers! I think he's already better than Aaron Williams. Reminds me of Jabari Greer when he was here.

Brilliant!

Speaking only for myself, I haven't really thought about too much else this week other than the game Sunday...totally neglecting work/family/etc..you know, all the stuff that doesn't really matter. As for the lack of action here, I agree. It's been quiet. I think that's more just a combination of nervous paralysis and the fact we have hashed and rehashed every imaginable topic already.

Great work TKIG..looking forward to checking up on your site throughout the year.

These are great..they finally got around to the Bills today: http://deadspin.com/5937604/why-your-team-sucks-2012-buffalo-bills

This is an interesting debate. Its too bad simpletons like dc tom can't add anything to the discussion but some comic relief. Count me as one of those who are against it though. You wouldn't be able to regulate steroid use by making it legal anymore than you can regulate the thousands of other legalized drugs that people are addicted to (painkillers, anti-depressants, etc.). If athletes are doing them now while they are illegal, what makes you think they won't take that extra dosage behind closed doors to gain even more of an edge? The steroid issue is just a derivative of the bigger picture of having a level playing field, and that's what the real debate essentially is. More intensive testing and stiff penalties (criminal even) is the only answer. Athletes wouldn't cheat if they knew they were certain to get caught. Right now, the possibility of getting away with it is there and that needs to be eliminated.

just trade him for gronkowski and be done with it pencil, meet eraser

One guy that has flown under the radar and has kind of been forgotten is Justin Rogers. In my opinion, he looked really good last year in the limited role he had. He reminded me of Jabari Greer the first year or so when he had to fight for playing time. A lot of fans knew he was good, but because of his lack of pedigree, he had to wait longer than he should have to become a starter. This isn't to pile on to Aaron Williams, but I feel that people are pinning their hopes on him because he was a second round pick, not because of anything he's shown so far. I thought he was below average all year and I didn't see any progress later on like some people are saying. Obviously they're both really young, and maybe AW will end up being the better player, but as of right now, I'd say Rogers is hands down a smarter and better DB. Hopefully he gets a chance to show it this year. My ideal depth chart for CB would be: McGee Gilmore Rogers (who becomes a starter after the inevitable McGee injury) Brooks Williams (every other player, coach, trainer, office staff) McKelvin
