Homey D. Clown

Well put... agreed.

Damon Wayans has always been one of my all time favorite comedians, and I always loved the character he portrayed as Homey. Then recently a statement was made in an interview to a reporter "That's a clown question bro" and it all just came together for me in a perfect storm...

Defensively I totally agree with Leodis McKelvin, and I'll toss in Kyle Williams. For the cornerback position the glaring need for someone to step up is painfully obvious, but for Williams, I think if everyone wants to claim him to be as good as he is, then he needs to be a factor in stopping the run. For a team that has given up as many yards as the Bills have, I think it's time Williams shows how good he is perceived.

I have been debating this with a few co-workers for a while now, and I went back and forth between Stevie Johnson, CJ Spiller, and Freddie, and ultimately I decided to go with Stevie as the key to the 2013 season on offense. The basis for my point of view is how well does he manage having a new QB throwing to him, whether it's a rookie, or Kolb. For a good 3rd of the season, he may very well be the only receiver on the field with game experience enough to be a factor for a new QB, plus, he will have to shoulder the load of helping the new rookie WR talent along as well. Now I'm not suggesting that if he doesn't catch 60-80 balls for 1000+ yards, and 7-12 TDs then he failed the team, I am merely suggesting that it's what he will provide as a leader on offense to a slew of new young talent and new faces that will really determine the flow of the offense, if only for a portion of the season. I'd love for this thread to be about who you think will be the key to the Bills success, offense or defense this season... Who's yours?

THIS.

The bottom line with these guys (Naaman and Donald) are that they were not consistent enough to be real producers. Getting open and creating a spot for the QB to throw to was not something they provided on a regular basis, so the team moved on. the fact that nobody really jumped on either player after they were released says something. Good luck to Naaman though, it would be nice to see him make a few plays for the Browns.

With all the talent this team has had in recent years, it's mind boggling how 7-9 is as good as it's been...

These overly inflated free agent signings will probably not occur as much as in recent years due to teams getting burned on a regular basis. Bell, Posluzny, and Whitner are recent departures that teams have received very little from, and that has to have an impact somehow.

I think I'd be less surprised if Trent Edwards in a Philly jersey was on that list... but ryan Tannehill.... just, wow.

I think it's good he trying something else other than his current job of hack sports writer, maybe the Buffalo News just might wise up and rid their sports department of that bum.

too bad you weren't born with 3 middle fingers, I'd send one each to Miami, one to Jerry Jones, and one to Bi-Tom Brad-ichick

lets face it, selfish players just aren't very likable, so it wouldn't bother me if he blew chunks, and I make no apologies for feeling that way.

We do have a great looking team on paper...

Meh....

This is a good thread, it's cool to see what people think across multiple decades... I'll go with my top 5 in order of what they meant to me: 5. Opening day game against the Jets 1986 - Jim Kelly's first game, and the expectations were so high the city was about to explode 4. 2000 revenge game against the Titans, I haven't been that amped up for a rematch in my life, I was at the Music City Mistake game 3. 1990 win over the Broncos... within 77 seconds that game changed completely, and I thought for sure it was a loss. 2. 51-3 dismantling of the Raiders 1. Bills - Oilers 1993 playoff game - self explanatory, greatest game I have ever watched. I'm sure not many will put a Bills loss on their lists, but that 1986 opener was electric, you couldn't calm your heart down just thinking about what Jim Kelly was going to do for that team.

it's pretty easy to see this really isn't a debate, he was good, but more than likely done, and the team has bigger issues to address in other areas to take a flyer on...

Scheduled on my DVR too, Thanks!!

You rang?

You should have posted that in your own Byrd thread...

I am very confident we will be only as good as our record will indicate...

Radical as it may seem, but when an NFL team finds out one of it's players has signed with this guy, I am suggesting they should bench said player if he is any good. You might as well get used to not having the guy on your team, and why not sooner than later? It would allow the next guy up some valuable playing experience, because he'll need it. as hard as it is to type this, I am quite confident Jairus Byrd's days as a Bill are in the past. He is now asking to be the highest paid safety in the league.... and that just seems a little extreme. I love the guy, but I never thought he was the best in the game, and I attribute that lofty view of his talents a direct result of his agent.

the Music city Mistake - hands down. I was there and had to walk to my car with all those Titans douchebags in my face. And yes, it was a forward lateral....

Byrd's agent is an extortion artist, and I think everyone needs to get used to the idea that you'll probably not see him play another down for Buffalo.

You're new here it seems, but I like your thinking.... as a matter of fact, I have said that very thing on several occassions... 'Lil donte always seems late to the play, out of position, and generally looking lost. To the OP: Antoine Winfield Pat Williams all time top 2 And Poz... also should not be included in this... an average, to below average linebacker. this should be based on actual high caliber free agent departures, not big name departures.
