  1. True dat. Paraphrasing ... We suck until we prove otherwise.
  2. On Twitter, a Key Flaw in N.F.L. Drug Tests If they want the players to be able to juice, they should just allow it and be done with it rather than pretending not to allow it.
  3. Unfortunately no. It was mostly my daughter taking the pictures so that isn't what she was looking for Lots of pics of Trent and CJ though
  4. Pictures from camp 2010
  5. Nice Spiller jersey lady
  6. Agreed! My kids generally don't have much of their voices left after the game. They cheer on the scrubs in the 4th quarter just as much as the starters! I just wish it was a afternoon game. But this way there is fireworks after the game!
  7. We already bought ours, but thanks for the generous offer
  8. Hmmm. Thought about it a bit more and I don't think so. The offense did look better for sure. But the points were on a very nice run by Spiller, on a home run due to a huge defensive blunder, and on a nice pick-6. But otherwise things didn't look bad, but not great to me either. Remember too that for a while in the 2nd quarter our first string was going against their backups. Hence the 80. Defense aside from the pick-6 looked better than last week, but not a whole lot. I stand by my earlier post. Of course I am not a recognized authority on the subject matter either
  9. Starters only: Offense 80% (2 breakout plays but the rest was just OK) Defense 70% (long way to go still) Average 75% Coaching was much improved as well.
  10. Bills feed for tonights game G17 (Galaxy 17 orbital position 91° W) Ku band Transponder 13 11960 Mhz Horizontal Symbol Rate 24740 Working and HD as well, nice
  11. Those cheating bastards! This would appear to be the the thread to keep an eye on for tonights game.
  12. I don't buy this really at all. The colt starters want to play well and shake the rust off. They aren't just out to survive. And for the backups, they are fighting for their lives. Lots of people are due to be demoted to the practice squad or outright cut. No bigger motivation than that. This is the same motivation our players had last Friday. It's just that our players didn't have the skills to impress anyone. Not buying it. No offense but it sounds like you are trying to talk yourself into optimism
  13. I guess that line makes some sense if the Bills starters will play the first half and Indy's starters only a series or two. But man, betting money on a preseason game is a crap shoot at best.
  14. I doubt Trent will pull that off against the Indy starters. He might have a shot in the 2nd quarter against Indy's backups though.
  15. You don't necessarily need a BUD (Big Ugly Dish) but the Senator is correct. And thank God for that ... my wife would never tolerate one of those in the yard! It is a feed intended only for ESPN to get clips from. You see whatever the cameraman is shooting at the time, plus generally a few interviews (raw, before they are edited so you may hear the occasional F bomb for example). You might see interesting footage or some guy scratching his ass, you never know There is a feed from most teams camps. That usually isn't known until at best a few hours before the broadcast when they activate the network feed for testing. Sometimes as little as one hour before the game. This is a good place to monitor starting a few hours before the game. Ricks Wildfeeds
  16. Not "dish" as in dish network. It is the feed that ESPN (in this case) uses to get clips from camp to use in their broadcasts. Meant really only for them, but anyone with the proper setup can tune it in. You would need a satellite dish along with the proper equipment to be able to tune non dish network or directv satellites. Basically if you have to ask that question, you don't have the right equipment
  17. Just noticed this. Haven't tried it so I do not know if it still works or not. ESPN at Bills camp G17 11972 H 6111 FYI G17 (Galaxy 17) is at orbital position 91° W
  18. Sales guys say it helps sales. I think they just like the company paying for them to party at a football game. If I was running a company and the economy turned south, that's the first thing I would dump. Probably even before the economy went bad.
  19. Based on the Bills practice notes from yesterday, they are preparing for Indy at least a little bit. Link
  20. That is understandable, and in fact most of camp is generally at 1/2 to 3/4 speed. But what stood out to them was basically NO contact at all yesterday.
  21. I agree with you (at least that's what I'm hoping for this season) except for the laughingstock part. No one but Bills fans will notice the (hopefully) steady improvement throughout the season. To the national media we will still suck and be the laughingstock at seasons end. And that is fine ... just as long as we can truthfully (not koolaid or blind faith) see Gailey improving this team week to week.
  22. My kids went yesterday for the 5th time this year (I think they are addicted) and the thing that stuck out to them yesterday compared to the other times was the lack of contact. For example, they would run a play to the point of there being a tackle, then stop. The previous times there was tackling as well as a lot of other contact. Chan must not want to risk other players going down this camp.
  23. I agree completely. They probably could not have put Gruden in particular on camera even if that had wanted too without getting a X rating.
  24. I actually wonder why there isn't a farm system in the NFL similar to what is in place for baseball and hockey. Football being as susceptible to injury as hockey, you would think it would be nice to be able to call up players already under contract and at least somewhat familiar with the system. That way you could truly build from the draft. I would think that small cities would love to have a minor league football team associated with a NFL team.
  25. I remember last year that the NFL considered the Toronto game sold out because Rogers Communications bought all the tickets from the Bills for resale. Hopefully the same situation still exists.
