You herd it hear last

It was more rhetorical to demonstrate the difficulty of the decision (along with roster spot concerns) and its' possible consequences, that the coaches will have to make.

So who would you want to see in a replay of the SB 25 kick, Potter or Lindell? It just may come down to that.

Let me start out by saying that during the time used to bowl competitively, I was ALWAYS working on my mental game and knew it was the difference between winning and losing. My practices were a mix of: trying new things, pushing the envelope of discomfort and being pinpoint accurate. BUT a huge component was confidence. It was very beneficial in that regard to throw strike after strike on an 'easy' lane condition sometimes, just to know that you have that ability and firepower (thus adding to your confidence). O.K., now let's apply that to Bills Camp. Is it feasible that the Bills D is SO good that the offense won't get a chance to gain that all important confidence won through consistent success in practice, leading to more disappointments in the regular season? OR Are they SO good that, despite all the offenses' lack of success in camp, when the season starts all other defenses are pale in comparison, and it's like shooting fish in a barrel for our attack? Do coaches read these dynamics and adjust off of them? let 'er rip...

Damn, what a whiff.

I got what you were saying, I was just thinking that if there were any obvious guys still there at Troup's pick in '10, that guy would now be in year three of Chan's system. We were all so gung-ho over changing to 3-4 thinking we needed THAT guy in the middle. Ouch. I know it's wishful thinking but it'd be nice to have that seed blooming right about now, we could jettison both Thigpen (talent) and Young (smarts). Oh well. But on the other side of the coin, Troup's failure to live up to expectations has a portion to do with what has brought us to this point, so six in one...

what QB was still on the board when we drafted Troup?

Good to have his best year... how's that treble hook feel?

Is he threatening for a starting job on this D? ... uh, I don't think so... Seems like just another 2nd/3rd tier player now, fighting for a roster spot. I think people 'round here wanna see him do it so they can further praise the drafting of Nix and not admit he made a mistake. Not that injuries are within his control. But has he learned from that draft? Yes. I'd like to enter into evidence the 2011 and 2012 drafts, your Honor.

fun.

the decision could depend on the other DT's... doesn't Heard have some nagging offseason thing too?

A truly unique take on it. Great post. Let's hope SJ earns an equivalent nickname in the NFL as DH did in hockey...

I had to click on this post just to make sure we weren't being invaded by Trent Edwards clones... Turns out TE stands for tight end too... Note: this comment is in NO way an attempt to hijack the current topic and turn it into a VickPetersBellEdwards discussion.

Thanks for keeping football where it belongs, next to all the other kinds of ENTERTAINMENT.

It's probably good that you decoded it, in case there's any jets fans lurking. Get it? 'cuz they ain't real bright? get it?

Fixed it for ya... No need to thank me.

there's ANOTHER kind of ending?

Future Rep. Stevie Johnson? ... I think he's gonna have to adjust that moniker to be elected... ohhhh! run a ROUTE... I thought you said run a CAMPAIGN... SL and his compatriot Jim Zorn were two of my favorite (non-Bills) NFL players when I was growing up. seriously, with that comment, you receive THIS: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMmQkNT65Do

maybe they're 'half twits'...

jeesh, a simple, "yes, I AM drunk" would've sufficed...

What are the odds that Mario Williams' Twitter account will not make it through the season? LOL... welcome back, Cat.

Like to hear of our LT's progress against this D-line...

Naysayers be gone witcha! minimum 11-5... we are easily going to crush our first 4 opponents! I'm sick of this 5-11 crap and so is the team... no more backseat to Boston, NJ and the Dade Co. correctional facility team for at least 7 years. TOTAL DOMINATION.

I think what he meant was that he's 14 and dyslexic...
