I don't think Fitz ever copped to the rib injury did he? I respect him for not using it as an excuse. And thank God he is gonna keep that thing trimmed...I have an irrational dislike of it and have blamed his slump last season on the beard being so shaggy!

I would love it if they went to blue pants on the road. Too much white now.

It really annoys me that they can't get this done. It has the potential to be a huge embarrassment to the league.

I'm wondering what people are seeing from Carder and even Bradham that excites them. Carder seems to be lost out there, taking poor angles and getting pushed around. I wouldn't be shocked if he gets cut or put on PS. I think the secondary will be fine. An above average unit that will be aided by the pass rush. McKelvin looks better now that he is in the slot and the safeties are very good. Williams will be okay and I like the depth with Rogers and Brooks.

I know Chase Daniel was tongue in cheek (at least I think so), but another poster called for the Bills to find the next Matt Flynn. Remember the previous Matt Flynns: Kevin Kolb, Rob Johnson, Scott Michell, Matt Cassel. The only real success I can think of recently is Matt Schaub. Big money to an unproven back up is not the way to go. I think we'll see Chandler and Nelson a lot more involved once the season starts. With a bit of time they can stretch the d and work the middle, like the nice pass to Nelson in the Steelers game. I'm also in the minority of Donald Jones believers, I think he'll be a bigger playmaker than most do.

I don't see that happening. I see Dareus and Kyle picking up 6-8 sacks each when QB's step up from the outside rush. Put me down for 11 sacks for Mario.

If the Jets didn't make that move, their entire front office should be sacked. The Jags had a chance at Tebow and wouldn't offer a 3rd round pick for him, can't see them making this deal.

I believe all of the ESPN local pages are cites...Chicago, LA, and so on. It is not ESPN Illinois, California, etc. So it would stand to reason that NY is the city not the state.

so let me get this straight I'm the internet tough guy, but when you do the same thing, you are above all that somehow. My ego gains nothing by calling you anything. I could make a comment about the 'biker' in your name alluding to that tricycle you ride around the neighborhood, but I won't. And to your point, I get that you can learn about people you don't actually know by reading stories online and listening to the news. but you throw out things like HUGE gambling problem and alchoholism without any basis, like they are facts and that seems quite short minded to me. You say facts are facts, but don't have any. I get that you don't like Schopp and thats fine, he certainly isn't for everyone (or many according to this board). I just don't get the personal attack.

So basically...no, you don't know him and are just making crap up about him. Bravo tough guy.

What about McGee as a free safety? Other veteran CB's have made this transition near the end of careers. Chan has expressed a desire to add depth at safety...perhaps it's already here?

Yes they can, the 3rd quarterback is no longer the "emergency QB" that can only go in if the other QB's are out for the game. They are all interchangeable now.

I think guys like Dareus, K. Williams, Levitre and Wood fit the sandpaper type.

Plus he's a miserable tool.

Bingo...and it was quite effective picking up first downs last year.

] that made me laugh for real. Team of Fluties vs a team of Rob Johnsons, more epic than the ice bowl.

Exactly, they could put together a team of gun-toting, wife head-butting, dwi-getting, scumbags, and if they win the Bowl, they're the most likeable Bills team ever...but yes, this is a very easy team to root for.

When I first started reading this Lebron was my thought. If I'm sticking with football I think you guys have it covered with Cam, Gronk, Ware, etc... Maybe the dude that just won the decathalon, fast, strong, agile.

Then stay out of it...Opinions are pretty well split, so it appears to be an interesting discussion to most.

Thats a fun hypothetical. I don't think the Colts make the trade, so yeah I'd do it. A once-in-a-generation QB is worth it. It would set the clock back another couple years, but the ceiling is higher with Luck than without him.

Fans are so scarred by previous failures to sign our own that we panic now when a guy has a year left. I agree that it's important to sign those guys, especially Byrd and Levitre, but suggesting the Bills cut players that will play a major role on the d-line without any proven player taking their place is absurd. I am no cap/contract expert, but if we extend the deals beyond this season and don't alter the contract for 2012 do we need to make salary cuts? Or can we just worry about it next year?

I'm in Denver like Metz, I may go down to the Bills Backers bar he was talking about for a game or two, but for the most part, it's Sunday Ticket at my house. 2 other Buffalo transplants come over to watch and we cook up some WNY favorite like beef on weck, wings, chicken finger subs, etc...

I love it when the Jets games are coming. Nothing beats a good Jimmy Spags thread. Do you close your eyes when Rex is sucking on your toes or just take it all in?

Young still seems to have that inate ability to make plays when they are needed (although not much to show for it last night). His passes though...wow, they were as bad as I've seen, missing wide open guys by 10 feet. I think he is the #2 (there is probably a joke there) but if he is forced into action, they need to run a draw it up in the sand offense. As for Brad Smith, he look like he has zero interest in throwing the ball.

Anybody try to watch the game on Ipad after the fact. All I had/have available is the second half. Am I missing something or is it just screwed up?
