  1. I'm no attitude "expert", but can you explain one of the best WRs in NFL history having a 500 yard/3 TD season with ANY team? And my attitude's fine, how about you?
  2. Moss is the more talented wideout. TO has had a better and more complete career. I get the sense that Moss isn't 100% committed to the game of football, as evidenced by the lax effort he gave while he was a Raider. I equate Moss to Vince Carter. Could've been the best of his generation, but just didn't have the correct attitude.
  3. He's not un-clutch...it's just that the instances when he misses a clutch kick resonate louder in your memory. I would hazard to guess that his FG % in "clutch" situations is just about equal to his career percentage of 80.
  4. Every defense has weak links. EVERY defense. Hell, Jim Leonhard was starting in the vaunted Baltimore secondary. Our problem is that we don't have the gamechangers to cover up for the weak links. If you've noticed, Lance Briggs, Haloti Ngata, and Bob Sanders don't all play on the same team. That's because there's a salary cap and teams (even the good defensive ones) can't afford to field a team chock 100% full of superstars. You act as if Keith Ellison being mediocre is indicative of our overall mediocrity...remember, the whole is always different than the sum of the parts. Keith Ellison is not the specific reason why we go 7-9 each year.
  5. Wanna get high?
  6. Prove it. Do Superbowl winning teams historically have kickers that are better than the ones on the mediocre teams? If you research and find that Superbowl winning kickers have statistically significantly better numbers than their non-championship couterparts, I will concede your point.
  7. Kicker stats are about the least significant in the game, due to small sample size. Many who are not enamored with Lindell feel that way because he missed 8 FGs last season. But what about the two seasons before last when he missed a combined 5 FGs? Everybody was probably pretty happy with him headed into last year. A kicker's success in one season does not indicate success in the following season, nor does failure indicate failure. If a running back in his prime has two consecutive seasons averaging 4.5 yards per carry, and then drops down to 3.5 the next year it is definitely cause for concern. If a kicker in his prime has two consecutive 90% seasons, and then drops to 80% it shouldn't raise any eyebrows. Why? Because a starting RB carries the ball 300 times a year and a starting kicker takes about 35 FG attempts. Sample size, friends, sample size.
  8. You said, in regards to Everett, "the rest is history". I took this to mean that you thought there was a direct causal relationship between Everett's relegation to special teams and his injury. If I was wrong, I apologize.
  9. Hardy: That's not a fiasco, that's a rookie with a learning curve who got injured in the middle of the season. I optimistically predicted 20 receptions for 300 yards and 4 touchdowns at the start of last season. Anybody asking for much more than that would've been foolish. Eddie Royal's success is NOT the norm. Everett: What are you, some kind of numbskull? Are you actually trying to argue that the Bills are responsible for his FREAK ACCIDENT because they didn't coach him up well enough to be our starting TE?
  10. I agree, the Bills are extremely important to Buffalo. The city just wouldn't be the same without them. You've gotta mention the Sabres too, though. Anybody who remembers the atmosphere of the city when the Blue and Gold were making their playoff runs knows how much the Sabres mean too.
  11. Wow, Jack White should be allowed to kick each of those guys in the teeth for that abortion of a cover. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to use vocals for the bass line?
  12. I'm with you, Tim does an awesome job and he legitimately knows what he's talking about. In an age where "sports analysis" essentially seems to boil down to talking points and overused cliches, Tim is as refreshing as a tall glass of lemonade in the Mojave.
  13. Do you know the definition of the word murder?
  14. Thanks for the vote of confidence!
  15. The game isnt lame, it's probably just you.
  16. This is Jessica White...TO is a traitor! http://i.cdn.turner.com/sivault/swimsuit/i...painting_02.jpg Potentially NSFW (she's got body paint on)
  17. He slaps opposing players on the ass, gives them creepy looks, and other suggestive things. Basically, he's there to make the other team uncomfortable enough to let their guard down.
  18. Kan Jam is getting pretty popular up at Cornell. I brought one from home when I first came here, and so did a few other Buffalo natives, and it's really spreading like wildfire. You almost always see a few Kan Jam games when you walk across campus on a sunny day.
  19. Yeah, he screams at his players and people around here have heard of him...don't you know that those are the two prerequisites?
  20. Time for my dramatic comeback...I win
  21. This just made my day...easily the best was Moorman's pass to Denney in week 1. That one had me cheering and on the floor laughing simultaneously.
  22. So let me break this down...The Czar thinks that we will have a "QB controversy" because... 1) The fans want Trent to win games for the Bills, but we've somehow "forgotten" about Jason Peters being gone (I wonder exactly how many Bills fans he's spoken to) 2) Fitzpatrick makes more money than Trent 3) We now have another big offensive weapon, which puts more pressure on him I don't really get this. I guess this proves that you can spin anything into a negative. I can't believe Czar actually thinks adding TO makes Trent less likely to succeed.
  23. Naked chick with a really nice pusssy
  24. Pro Bowl appearances aren't a good judge of greatness. He had about a combined 1,100 yards in those 3 seasons. By comparison, Tony Gonzalez totaled 1,058 yards just last season at the age of 32. He is great, Bubba Franks was good.
  25. I wouldn't say he was ever great. He was a nice producer in the red zone, but the highest he ever averaged was 27 yards per game. Good blocker, but never much of a receiving threat.
