I liked that one too, but I'm still uncertain about Bridgewater and I'd like to see AP run behind that average O-line for a couple of weeks before I start picking the Vikings. Also, I think the 49ers still have the best QB in that matchup. But yeh, they were up there too just b/c the 49ers should be putrid.

If you were going to drop some serious cash on one game in Week 1, which would it be? I'm looking at the Dolphins over the Redskins or the Packers over the Bears. I hate having to go with road teams but the Dolphins' D-line should destroy the Redskins pathetic O-line and Cousins is a turnover machine. Dolphins have the better D and the better QB. Should be a relatively easy win, despite being a home opener for the Redskins - especially due to the lack of excitement in DC for that team. The Packers are simply head and shoulders above the Bears, who are an absolute mess. The Bears switched to a 3-4 and I don't even think they have the players for that scheme yet. Their Defense sucked last year and it should be even worse this year. Packers own the Bears. Who else do you like?

Though I don't think they'll be bad, I think the Dolphins are probably the most overrated team: they have absolutely zero depth and their O-line is still not good. I just don't see them as a lock for the playoffs as many people appear to be predicting this year. I see them at 8-8 and Philbin goes bye-bye

Possibly..i guess it would also depend on where we are with our W/L record. If TT goes down and we're 4-2 or 5-3 I would fully expect MC to go in there. If TT goes down and we're 3-5 or 3-6 maybe EJ goes in there.

It appears that the EJ era is over if he's not even the backup QB so the only way I see him being the starter again is if both TT and Cassel go down with injuries or both are complete abominations.

I agree about the Giants. Coughlin should've gone out on top back in 2011. He's going to regret his decision as his legacy in NY will be tarnished between last season and this upcoming 6-10 season.

Possibly. Though it's also more likely he wanted to go where his friend Marshawn is, which also happens to be a phenomenal team, with phenomenal fans, and what appears to be a phenomenal team atmosphere. There is a lot of nonsense buzzing around the Pats and BB seems like he could be a pain to play for, despite his success.

49ers or Redskins

Under Rex I fully expect our Run D to be improved and be near top 5 but I expect our Pass D to possibly take a slight step back as a result of not producing as many sacks. Overall, they'll probably be around the same again - top 5 overall, but with a decline in sacks they may not appear as dominant.

What bothers me is that you act like 10-6 is somehow bad. When was the last time we were 10-6? How in Hades do you honestly expect any objective person who doesn't reside in Buffalo to predict that the Bills go 12-4 or 11-5 with a QB like Taylor? You know who goes 12-4/11-5 in the NFL? Teams with QBs named Brady Rodgers or Manning or Rapelessburger. It's going to be almost impossible for our defense to be much better than last season. We can't possibly expect Taylor to set the world on fire. And our schedule appears a bit tougher this season than last, though that will remain to be seen. 10-6 with a playoff birth? I'll sign up for that right now with a smile on my face. Only a handful of teams in nfl get more than 11 wins usually. No reason to get offended by 10-6.

I just can't see 12-4. "It's hard to win in the NFL" haha. All kidding aside, it is hard to win in the NFL and especially when you don't have a solid, consistent QB. The best record in the NFL last season was 12-4. IMO our schedule was slightly easier than it appears to be this year though it's sometimes hard to predict how some teams will do from year to year based on injuries. I think an upside of 10-6 and a downside of 6-10 is very fare.

1. YOLOINOHIO from TSW The end.

I wish Graham would name someone already and stop being so vague about everything.

maybe I'm just slow, but I still need clarity on what TG considers "football ops." Is Rex aware of this football ops?

1. I have no idea what Tim Graham means by "football ops" much the same way I had no idea what he meant by the word "rogue." Tim Graham needs to learn how to express himself clearly. 2. How can Whaley deviate from "football ops" when he HEADS "football ops" 3. How did Whaley make a unilateral decision when it's been noted he did in fact consult with ownership?

Exactly. Going rogue implies that pretty much nobody was consulted, which was impossible to believe for a player like Fred Jackson. Tim Graham is a joker.

At the end of the day, Tim Graham should've used another word besides "rogue".

I fully understand the notion that Whaley is the GM and obviously makes the personnel decisions but I just find it impossible to believe that Whaley would cut a player like Fred Jackson without someone else's blessing. For Christ's sake we had threads on here not that long ago talking about retiring Fred Jackson's number. Cutting Fred Jackson is more than just another personnel decision for Whaley and that's a fact. I have no idea what "rogue" means here b/c there is absolutely no scenario I can imagine where Whaley makes the call on Fred w/o substantial internal discussions with coaches and ownership. I honestly have no idea what to think of this situation so far and I guess I'll wait and see how this develops. In my personal pointless opinion: By "rogue" Im guessing that Rex wanted to keep Freddy and possibly was under the impression that he was going to be kept and then Whaley goes ahead and cuts Freddy as opposed to someone else that had been discussed - but even this scenario seems kinda crazy just b/c it's Fred Jackson we're talking about. It was only a couple of months ago that Rex was quoted as saying Bryce Brown better fix his fumbling problem or else he won't be touching the ball much, so I can't imagine for the life of me that Rex would rather have Bryce Brown than Fred Jackson. Man the Bills would've been awesome this year on Hard Knocks lol.

How can I possibly have 2 warning points still from years ago and this clown ^^^^ is still posting on here?

I may have urinated myself at this.

it's a shame he didn't tell everyone to just F off - he would've been justified imo.

Overreact much?

i personally love the hubbly bubbly. Sammy smoking it a handful of times a year or once a month isn't going effect his production no more than it did Jordan with his cigars. I'm actually kind of disturbed by the fact that people are bothered by this.
