I think up until the '08 season when he played for the Jests, Favre had never won a game in Buffalo. Not like he played there very often, but I think it meant that he had a victory in every NFL City

Carrington Baby!

I don't have insider. Anyone care to summarize? Is it just worthless speculation?

Awesome site. Along with TBD, I'll be checking your blog daily. Nice work compiling all of the stats!
-
Well, let's keep this in perspective.
The Bills also spent a 2nd round pick on James Hardy, and we know how that turned out.
True, but that was the old regime

Awesome. I actually love that color scheme. I wish we would go will all black uniforms- helmet and all, but the charging buffalo. It would look good.
Ha, that's pretty awesome. Wish we could get him!
Regarding that logo, I actually love color scheme. Reminds me of an idea I had not too long ago about new uniforms. I'd like to see all black uniforms, with a thin red white blue stripe down the sides of the legs. Helmet would be all black, but still with the charging bufflao.

I love what Fitz has done this year. He is a gritty, tough quarterback. Perfect for a Buffalo blue collar team. Unfortunately, I think we definitely need to draft a blue chip quarterback once and for all. If you look at the super bowl for the last dozen years, the winning quarterbacks are below. Do you think this is a coincidence that these guys are all future hall of famers. We need that stud QB once and for all. QB isn't everything, but it sure is A LOT. With the exception of Brad and Trent those guys are all probably top 20 QB's to ever play when their careers are over. Johnson and Dilfer had two of the best defenses EVER so they are the exception. That is a huge rarity though, and definitely not how the Bills will ever operate.

1. If Fitz continues to improve as the rest of the O improves, there is no reason why he couldn't be considered a blue chip QB.
2. I don't think that Eli will ever be considered a top 20 QB when his career is over. A very good QB, yes but not top 20.
3. I think Fitz's ceiling could be very Eli-esque..... and that's a very good thing for us
If Chan and Buddy really feel that he could be a winning QB for us, then by all means, draft D. The rest of the season will really show us what we have in Fitz. He played a strong Jets team with only a week of practice, and tore up a sleeping Ravens defense. He's looked pretty good so far, but now that there is plenty of film available on Fitz and Co., let's just see how things go against Pittsburgh the Jests and Miami. If he looks good in those games, I'll be more than satisfied with him as our #1 going forth.

In his last 16 games as a starter, with half of them being in Jauron's offense and not Chan's, Ryan Fitzpatrick is:
6-10
3,261 yds
26 tds
17 ints
Those 26 TDs would be tied for the second most in Bills history.
Never thought of it that way. This is awesome. Just imagine if we had a defense.... even a middle ranked one!
ALTHOUGH, I remember back during the Rob Johnson days, Bob Matthews wrote a piece that basically said if RJ's stats were extrapolated over a 16 game season, he'd be a sure vote for the pro bowl. Still though, I say that Fitz has much more of that IT factor that RJ ever did. I'm happy with Fitz as our starter.

Physically, I think Fitz is an above average QB (think B- C+). His guts and leadership are what make him sparkle though and those two qualities make him a B+ QB. The reason why he's called a journeyman is that he's played on crappy teams and never looked very good. Along comes Chan, who knows how to build an offense and suddenly Fitz looks pretty OK! Chan is kinda like Bob Vila. He's knows what he's doing and provides the offense all the tools that they need to do the job. That's why we are seeing such an improvement this year. To continue my analogy, Dick Jauron and Trent Edwards were like an illiterate trying to learn how to build a deck by reading ask.com. The illiterate dosen't know how to read/use the tools, and the tools/ask.com suck.
Next year, as we bring more talent into B'lo, I expect that Fitz will only improve (assuming that he's still the starting QB). His biggest problem is accuracy and this should improve with a more sustained run game and better protection (assuming we draft a RT).

Trent Edwards also had 4 TDs against the fins a few years back IIRC
-
We also need a kicker

listen here, I am trying to watch the game in Singapore... no 97 rock, I have gone to every place suggested and they want me to download so version. I try to download and I can't. can someone throw me a bone? por que saudade do bills! (for the brasilain!)
My Portuguese isn't that good yet! I've settled for watching/listening on ATDHE.net. Its not great because it cuts out every so often, but it something!
-
not working. Says content is restricted in my area (brazil). that sucks
-
What about just radio. My connection isn't fast enough to support video. Do any sites just stream the audio?
-
I root for whats best for this team. I think we need a star player and what better way to get one by getting the first pick in the draft.
Well said
-
Is it just me, or did anyone just lose ATDHE.net. cant get any of the games to work.

Not a good head coach, but certainly a great DC. Wish he left Buffalo on better terms! He could do wonders for our D!

By no means am I a godlike football know-it-all, but now that we've almost reached the half way point of the season, I was hoping to get a consensus feeling regarding the performance of our 1-3 round 2010 draft picks from some of the more football gifted minds on TSW. I've been pretty busy with work have to settle for watching most Bills games via internet stream. I also don't get a chance to read TBD like I should
What are your thoughts and opinions regarding Spiller, Troupe and Carrington. My thougts:
1. Spiller- Everyone says he has great talent I'm sure is the case, but why aren't we using him more? Yesterday was one game that I did happen to catch and I was happy to hear the announcers say that Spiller seems to be making progress, that he no longer looks to hit a home run every time and takes what the D gives him- Thats great, but c'mon. We need to see more out of this guy. Why else did we draft him at number #9? Wilson and Nix both said that we needed a home run player- so lets use him!
2. Troupe- Saw him involved on a number of positive plays yesterday, but generally speaking, he seems to be having a quiet season. On one hand that is understandable since DLine is a tough position to learn for young guys. On the other hand, you expect your 1st and 2nd round picks to have an immediate impact. Whats going on here?
3. Carrington- How many games has this guy actually dressed for? Why isn't he playing more?
I guess in general, I'm just worried about the lack of impact that our 1-3 rd picks are having? Makes me wonder what our scouting dept really does.
Please tell me that I'm being overly concerned for nothing... PLEASE.
GO BILLS!

What a great idea! It's not like we have talented young receivers that could use 9 more weeks of playing to develop, nor would it be at all inappropriate to add the biggest quitter in the NFL to a team who's only positive notoriety is in playing hard and not quitting despite being winless! We could certainly sell a few more shirts.

Not to mention, what kind of signal would signing Moss send to potential free agents- next year, should there be a season? To me, such an action smacks of whimsical cluelessness. If I was a potential FA signee, I would want to see some type of commitment from the Bills that they were serious about winning, and not just selling jerseys and tickets.

ESPN says that Aaron Rogers could play on Sunday, but he's coming off a concussion. Big Ben had a great year last year but might be rusty. Who would you start in your FF league.

any place that we can listen online?

Donald Trump will buy the team. His vision is to have a stadium on the US side of the falls. He will build a casino and hotel close by.
Kelly has gone on record several times saying that he has a group of buyers lined up. I believe that the Donald is part of that group. Hopefully Jimbo is not bluffing. He would be pretty stupid to give us that kind of hope if it were based on nothing, so I have a high degree of confidence in what he says. Besides, Trump and Kelly go back a ways, and Trump IS a fan of the Bills.

Any chance we can somehow get joque bell back? I like jackson, but he can't have more than 2 seasons left.

As much as I love what Fitz is doing for us, he's not KW. KW will be a first ballot HOF. He single-handedly is the reason ARI went to the playoffs and SB. And if it wasn't for their crappy defense letting Pittsburgh roll down the field, he would have gotten them a SB victory. KW was that team and without him, they are garbage. Fitz indeed does elevate our offense, but not like KW did for ARI
Slow down. UNBEATABLE, HA, forget offense, we need defense. We score plenty of points to win games, but we also surrender too many points, yards and minutes and THAT'S primarily why we are 2-8!
I partially agree with this. Fitz does have the ability to pick apart a defense- which he's been doing on an ongoing basis with Buffalo, but I think his true nature is more Favre-esque. That means we will see plenty of amazing play as our offense continues to improve. He'll make adjustments at the line and punish teams when they blitz us-- but will also see the errant INT from time to time.
