It may be coincidence, it may not be. I'd certainly prefer that we still had Rusty Jones. But an injured hand was not the occasion to bring it up, especially considering how vocal many posters have been about how training camp is "too soft". And I think that in order to make a real evaluation, you need to look at the types of injuries sustained, who has been injured, and how long they have been under the care of our trainers (are they rookies, did they have lengthy hold-outs, etc....)

Yeah. Our strength and conditioning coaches don't pay enough attention to hands. Also, I've heard the practices are really grueling, so you could probably just blame the entire coaching staff.

If we draft a QB top ten (which I guess is what the last poster was implying) then we have to pay through the nose. If we like somebody later in the round, and trade down, or trade up from the 2nd, then not so much.

I don't know where to start. 1. You know he's under contract next year, right? You make it sound like we have to make a decision this year (although obviously if he's a lame duck next year, it doesn't bode well for his future.) 2. If he plays well enough to warrant a big new contract, we'll sign him to one. If not, he's not going to go somewhere else for big $. He'll most likely sign on somewhere else for backup money, maybe with some performance incentives. 3. As far as future options at QB, I'll let others speculate, to me it seems like a complete waste of time this far out.

Every team needs a Bannan.

I wonder how much of this is just based on the coaching staff really feeling the need to evaluate players who are competing for a roster spot in their system? I would think they could at least throw together some scrubs to run a scout defense, but I'm not sure what other excuse there might be....

I don't know, I heard some guys saying we should cut all of our players.

That idiot Wilson could have moved the team and made a lot more money years ago. If I were him, I would have done it, especially if I had to listen to folks like yourself.

Who the hell is Schoebel? Sounds dutch.

I think I've already seen this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCbPyQxfw74

Ellison had a nice stop to end the first GB series.

Actually, according to Dr. Trooth, we are the reason for the culture of losing. Interesting theory.

Not trying to be a jerk, but you do know that preseason games don't count, right?

Isn't Denny Green available?

And you're pretty manly behind that computer screen.

Yes, I clearly stated that last night's game was acceptable. Pull your head out of wherever it's stuck. Or keep it there if it means you might be less likely to fly off the handle spouting junk. Obviously, the game last night was terrible. I felt nauseous watching it. Everyone who watched the game realized their play was unacceptable. I'm looking for something to feel good about, because frankly, there wasn't much. Thanks for taking the thread out of context and making me feel like again.

Hmm, kind of a bummer for him, although I'd be glad to not have to face him in week 2.

Actually it sounds to me like he's saying two things. He needs to be more more careful with the ball = he does need to check down. He needs to pull the trigger = he needs to do it quicker.

hehe I think if you could get a horse to throw a football, Jaws would rave about him. Actually, that would be pretty cool. But he probably wouldn't be a very good quarterback, unless he at least learned how to take a snap under center.

So in the same post you manage to complain that he never picks "gritty hard working players", but instead picked two "high motor" offensive lineman, who so far have received pretty good reviews, although I'll admit they looked overmatched last night. Sounds like you're just pissed we didn't draft your guy Maualuga.

So you don't have the numbers?

Thanks so much! Would you happen to know Tuesday's Mega Millions #?

Thanks! This is a good one I had originally missed.

I would agree that no one, including Trent played well last night. As for holding onto the ball too long, I think that they've been emphasizing finding the man downfield, rather than going for the dump-off man as soon as he feels pressure. linked in a another post: http://myespn.go.com/blogs/afceast/0-9-199...-for-Bills.html
