  1. I was a bit dissappointed with Reggie Corner's play tonight. ---I felt he was an 'up and comer' with tons of potential. I still have faith in him.

     

    I bet he stews over his play and comes back with two picks next week ! :censored:

  2. Not sure how much this weighs into things, but......

     

    In fantasy football I was reviewing Strength of schedule, a tool that really helps predict fantasy football value (which is directly related to things like yards, TD's, catches etc) of players.

     

    This year the Bills S.O.S. for the QB position was 3rd easiest in the league. ----Meaning the teams the Bills play this year collectively, allowed the 3rd most (fantasy) points to QB's last year. The only downer was that we play the Jets twice and they allowed the least overall 'points' to QB's on a weekly basis. If we didn't play them twice, we would unquestionably have the easiest and lightest schedule for a QB this year.

     

    On the downside....

     

    Our RB S.O.S. is near the bottom of the pack. I believe (off of last nights drunken memory) was around 30 or 31st. Meaning our RB's will be facing some of the most stout Running defenses of last year. Granted, that is off of 'last years' defensive stats, but that is a concern, since our running game, in theory, should be our bread and butter this year.

     

    Now those S.O.S. stats don't always mean we face the top 10 defenses, just defenses that didn't allow fantasy points to RB's (again, fantasy pts are based on yards, TD's, catches etc) and does in fact correlate to a defenses capabilities. The Bills weren't an NFL 'ranked' top ten Defense, but they were ranked #2 against the pass in 'fantasy' standards.

     

    I hope the QB and the entire team do well this year and shut some nay sayers up, however I hope Trent doesnt look great against our easy S.O.S. for Qb's this year, garner a long term deal, only to be disappointed in 2011, 2012 and 2013 when we go back to facing mediocre or stout passing defenses. That would give us a 'false sense' of hope for the long haul.

     

    10-6

     

    Trent throws for 3300 yds, 23TD's and 11 ints.

     

    Just my thoughts. Go Bills!

  3. ONLINE sources...

     

    The magazines on the shelf are mostly ones that were put out right after the draft and because of that dont have much value other than to have some cheat sheets to look over while doing your draft...but again, you can get those online and for free.

     

     

    ABSOLUTELY CORRECT <_<

     

    I listen to Sirius/XM fantasy radio shows....very helpful.

     

    fantasyguru.com - pay $30 for outstanding tools, stats and up to minute reports.

     

    Grab the USA today paper that should be coing out shortly, about $6 or $7, up to date (it will be released in a week or so) and it is easy to read. If you grab the first 'Draft issue' that is about 40 pages, you will see that they will come out on a weekly basis (Wednesdays) and can help you throughout the year.

  4. The Bills are usually an 'afterthought' when the National media ranks or talks about them.

     

    I am a fantasy football junkie and even FF publications have the Bills Def ranked #25 or LOWER!

     

    The same rhetoric about the Bills having no #2 WR and Marshawn getting traded before the season starts seems to permiate every FF magazine. Its like nobody is at camp watching or reading weekly updates about players and/or their progression.

     

    Miami Doesn't have a #2 WR, and before the Marshall trade, they didn't even have a #1 WR. Their defense was suspect but their running game was sound and I've seen them ranked as high as #6 overall by Sports Illustrated. SI had Seattle ranked 11th???? Why?

     

    It chaps my a$$ but I have to take it in stride. Heck, some team has to ranked #1 and some poor team has to be the bottom feeded at #32. ---I guess when they rank the Bills as the bottom feeder we have nowhere to go but up.

     

    Just my thoughts. Go Bills!

    I have you on ignore but couldn't help to see your post when Green Lightning replied to it.

     

    Excellent post, for once.

     

    I'll always favor coldly rational analysis over your usual "op-ed" approach.

     

    :D

  6. I also read a story that when Spiller was to attend elementary school that his parents gave strong consideration to home schooling little CJ, before finally relenting to his wishes and allowing him to attend the neighborhood school, which was right across the street from their house.

     

    There's also a rumor going around that the holdup in contract negotiations revolves around a desire by the Spiller family to rent out a corner of the practice facility so they can always be closer to their son.

     

    :D

  7. SLEEPER ALERT: If you have room on your roster, dont be scared to snatch up the Bills D/ST in the last round as your second unit. Historically, a switch to the 3-4 usually finds early success. More importantly our unit has the potential to be a good fantasy unit as we are loaded with weapons on ST and our D has the potential to produce some turnovers with our secondary. If the offense can stay on the field longer and our D can stay moderately healthy, it has the potential to be a big sleeper. Dont waste anything other than the last pick or two on them though...

     

    I agree! :doh:

     

    I always grab a Def late, or just work the waiver wire until I find a gem like New Orleans last year-- Suprisingly, even with the Bills coming off of a 28 int /32 sack season and having some of the most dynamic KR/PR's, the Bills are NOT considered a sleeper Def. --- I don't get it??

     

    Sports Illustrated doesn't even have them rated in the top 25 Defenses??? I grabbed the Bills in 5 out of the 6 mock drafts that I already did online, I'm not only hoping, but expecting them to be a top 8 fantasy Defense.

  8. We all know that drafting a QB in the top 10 costs a team a ton of money, especially upfront money. We know that are owner isn't the most free-spending owner in the world. We also know that there will be a new CBA come hell or high water, that will adjust rookie salaries.

     

    Could it be that the Bills are waiting for the new rookie cap in order to go get their QB? Just a thought I had, knowing what we know.

     

    BTW 5-11 this year... oh well

     

    If you are trying to get to the coveted '100th post' ---just post these :blink: on a daily basis, No need to come up with a ridiculous conspiracy theory post like this one.

  9. so whats everybody think

    with our three headed monster and chan gailey what does everyone think about us using the wildcat this year.

    the past couple of years we used it rarely and last year i know everyone remebers the td pass jackson threw to evans. always thot we should have used the wildcat more often

     

    so will we be seeing it this year often

     

    and lee evans and roscoe could run it roscoe is a bit small maybe but i never understood why we dont run reverses with evans. last year we kept running the reverse with TO. evans has the speed y not try it with him

     

    we gotta get lee the ball more often through the air reverses somethin being a huge bills fan it is hurts to say but his talent just seems to be getting wasted here to me he is just as good as any receiver in the league

     

    everyone let me no your thoughts

     

    This was painful to read. :devil:

  10. We do?

     

    News to me... :rolleyes:

     

    ;):):wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash: :wallbash:

     

    After you replied 'news to me' you gave the 'thumbs up' --- curious why you would use such a relatvely positive gesture when you were trying to imply pun and sarcasm.

     

    Then you neatly placed eight 'wall-bash' icons in a row. Is there a reason why you chose eight? ---As a reader, I was getting a mixed message from your simple yet confusing reply. :devil:
