QB Bills

deadspin posted it also...the comments are awesome as usual http://deadspin.com/5864129/lebron-james-mimics-stevie-johnson-mimicking-plaxico-burress-in-flag-football-td-celebration?autoplay this one kind of stung though: This is news? It's hardly the first time that LeBron emulated the Bills.

does anyone else get annoyed when you read a comment like that and realize that you cheer for the same team as this d-bag? no offense to d-bags anywhere

Dareus is good, but the scary thing is, he's getting less effective by the week. And that's not him, that's on the coaching. I've said it many times, the biggest problem with the Bills right now is their lack of ability to develop talent.

From a Bills standpoint, perhaps the title and subtitle of this thread should be reversed. The guy buying the Jags is committed to keeping them in Jacksonville. Maybe I've just gotten too paranoid, but this is terrible news for the Bills' future, I would assume.

Merrill Hoge should take his f'd up finger and stick it up his a$$. How do these clowns get jobs on TV?

I'm with you. The outrage over this is so stupid and screams of a loser mentality among fans. The Jets trash and openly mock the team you supposed fans support every time they play them (since foot doctor has been coach) and the one guy who promotes the Bills more than anyone gets back at them and you are against him?? Give me a break. I like Stevie even more after yesterday's TD dance. If we had a guy who could squib a kick, it would have been worth the 15 yards. And not only that, the guy who he was making fun of was cool with it!! What a bunch of squares some of you are. The drop was bad, and that is what he should be faulted for, nothing more. But Fitzpatrick had him wide open on later in the end zone and missed him. That was an even bigger gaffe than the drop seeing as it was a TD (no telling if the Bills score if Stevie catches that ball). And then he had him again on the last play of the game and overthrew him. But ya, lets all rag on the one guy on the offense who came to play. Anyways, I'm far from a homer (honestly) but I totally support what he did and really enjoy having him and his personality on my team. If he can avoid the penalties, I hope he keeps it up.

as luck would have it, the freddie jersey i ordered online came in yesterday looks like i'll be wearing it more than he will for the foreseeable future

Hope you're right. It's the NFL..weird things happen. The Rams beat the Saints a couple of weeks ago. Could it happen? Sure. I wouldn't bet on it though. The Jets are a bad matchup for the Bills at the best of times. This is very far from one of those times.

and aaron rodgers is mean to cancer patients

want to score on the jets? run to the outside, not up the middle it's almost like our coaches didn't watch any tape on them before the game..they kept running fred up the gut and run it preferably towards cromartie's side...he doesn't try to hard to tackle big runners...noticed it before, and even tonight on tebow's final TD run...watch cromartie, he's not putting in any effort to get to him at all

nice observation as much as it pains me to say it, i can see the cowboys actually making the super bowl i know its the case with them all the time, but if they could ever just get their act together... green bay looks like the favourite obviously, but i could see the cowboys giving them trouble...they have talent all over the board

WTF?

Great find Big Cat. I've often wondered why they never used that Madden video game view. Just thought the NFL was being ignorant about what their fan base wanted. ESPN has used that QB view a few times on MNF and its really insightful. If it's really to save players/coaches from being further critiqued, that's pretty lame.

I think there's also a rule that a team cannot play more than 6 games outside of a 1pm or 4pm sunday start. Some games might seem like better matchups, but it also depends on how many night games certain teams have already played. I would love to see a night game..there's always a little more buzz. Take that how you may...

three plays (wilson INT, non-call on burress and the weak call on mckelvin) are directly related to the bills losing this game...the jets had one gripe also (the hold that negated greene's big run) but that was a legit penalty no, they didn't play their best game of the season and probably deserved to lose anyway, but that doesn't mean they would have...momentum is a huge factor, especially in a tight game at home...they had slow starts against the raiders and pats where the offense looked as bad as it did on sunday, but then got it turned around it's not sour grapes to say the refs may have cost you the game when it's logical that they probably did objective fans can admit that the comeback game may not have gone as it did if not for a blown call (beebe out of bounds) so it doesn't always mean you're a whiner when it goes the other way

I agree with this. The Jets are far from the best team in the league, but other than Pittsburgh, they might just be the toughest match-up for the Bills. I think David Nelson has to have a big game on offense and the D has to make sure they don't get fooled by any play-action plays. That's the only way Sanchez can hurt you. Otherwise, he's crap. I hope they don't even try to bring extra guys to pressure him. Let him throw into coverage and he will screw it up. I really hope we can pull it off, but I have to admit that I've got a bad feeling about this game.

Couldn't agree more. McGee is still the best CB on the team. I really wish they had kept Jabari Greer too. Those two could have made a great tandem for years.

I never really liked him and always thought he was kind of overrated. Ya, he had the stats but he never struck me as a team guy. Not only that but he never seemed to make a play when you needed one (the INT on Brady two years ago is an exception). He didn't command that respect from the opposing team that you'd think he'd get with his numbers.

I'm not sure what some of you Sanchez defenders have been watching, but I've seen most of the Jets games this year and he's atrocious. He looks like he's actually getting worse and he sucked to begin with. With that line and how much time he gets, combined with a good receiving corps, you'd be hard-pressed to come up with a worse starting qb in the league. It's not accurate to say he's anything other than crap because he's won a few playoff games as he was just asked to not get in the way. He's only slightly more responsible for those wins than you or I. He can't complete a pass unless a receiver is wide open or makes a great play. If the Bills don't fall for play action (probably the only part of his game he doesn't completely suck at), I can't see how this jobber of a qb does anything to help his team win other than get injured.

Considering they didn't test Asomugha against the Eagles a few weeks ago, I doubt they throw Revis' way often, if at all. Which is just fine by me. That defense is more bravado than anything else. Other than Revis, the rest of their D can be exploited. And for once, I feel as though the coach of the Bills is at least as smart as I am, so I'm guessing he will feel the same way.

Make Bart Scott wait.

Was debating on what jersey to buy. That video pretty much sealed it. Btw, if I remember correctly, that run they showed was the first play from scrimmage in that game against the Skins in 07 when dumbass gregg williams only had 10 guys on the field to "honour" sean taylor. He did it without informing joe gibbs, the head coach at the time. What a goof.

relax pal, even though it didn't work out, you're completely out to lunch here so stop trying to act like you're smarter than everyone else it's not like his two million dollar salary put them at the cap and they were unable to afford any other players...if the bills don't sign a guy, its because they don't feel he's worth what he's asking (whether fans agree or not)...it's not because they don't have the money or have their own internal salary cap...i'm really curious as to who you are referring to as a playmaker they could have had but skimped out because of merriman's salary it was a risk-free signing (other than the money ralph ponied up from his share of the tv revenue) that had no long-term effects...coleman is back and you can't really say merriman held anyone back from developing i'm not clear what was lost, but what was gained was some goodwill towards buffalo by a former star player who initially hated the idea of coming here, but then changed his tune and helped recruit a guy like nick barnett so good luck to merriman...wouldn't mind seeing him get healthy and give it another go with the bills next year

Lights out.

Will you just take it easy!?!?!
