yes yes
but he did make 17 of his last 18 -- Did Lindell?
kicking for the Giants
Maybe he finally got healthy again early last season.
maybe he just likes kicking for a cold weather team
I mean, he IS a Canadian!
-
He made 22 of 28 field goals last year
- including 17 of his last 18.
He was three of four from 50 yards or longer.
He has extensive experience kicking in bad weather
He has, during his career, kicked many game winning field goals (including OT of course)
He is not young (37) but he is not ancient either
***************************
He has extensive experience kicking in Ralph Wilson Stadium
Yes, it's Steve Christie
Is he better than Lindell?
In terms of kickoff depth? No. In the clutch...Yes. IMO

This is a bit deceptive for the Bills, Fish and Jets since these teams are the only teams to have to play the Patriots twice.
In my opinion, our schedule is fantastic for a newbie QB - lots of winnable games AT HOME to start with the tougher games coming after JP has gotten his feet wet.
Bring It On!!

I only know that I won't be taking on Big Daddy any time soon (or later)
I have this thing of liking my stomach.
Same thing with my back - I try to lift with my knees.
I think I will join Chancey Gardener by saying - "I like to watch"
See you at the Tailgate my man!

"Our guy" said that he couldn't pre-take our order, meaning I had to call this morning. I called at 9:00, which was when my son's little league game started. The game ended and they still hadn't answered. We headed to his soccer game and as I figured, they picked up when I was driving - 80 minutes later!!!
I was able to get our tickets, however. We will be in section 337, rows 25-29 I think he said. I officially received orders for 127 tickets, and I got 8 extras. The tickets will be sent out and I should get them in 2 to 3 weeks.
Hey Jay!
IF you get the ticktes before the 21st or so AND you can possibly get them in the mail to me, the CNJBBB meets on the 25th. It would be fantastic to get the tickets by that time.
Go Bills!

Actually Sid, it was pretty scary the last time Bob took on Big Daddy Hulse (BDH)
As I recall, Bob argued about "stem eating" and then, with Hulse agreeing to whatever "rules" Bob came up with with, proceeded as we have long known him, to gobble down the hot stuff without even tearing up. meanwhile, Bob turned a very dark shade of Red - mark and I thought he might explode. But then the tears came and Bob disappeared for a while.
Later, I saw bob gulping water in the shade.
Poor man
Took on BDH.
Bad things man....bad things...

what a revolving door of players and manager/coaches they have there in south Florida
makes one want to cry for the poor fishes.
now all they need to do is bring Ricky back to "cheer everybody up"

I was under the impression that LAST year was JJ's best in terms of injuries. I got the impression he played through more injuries than he typicaly did.
Couldn't be that it was ue to it being his contract year, could it? Nawww

O.K. Ladies and gentlemen....we need some HEAT here in NJ - the hotter it gets, the hotter the peppers.
Also, Mark and I ALWAYS debate when to fire up the cooker for the first batch of CNJBBB wings.
Big Daddy and Mark will be there no later than 8 am. me too (probably but the "Rev" is grumbling a weee bit
) - I am sure by Gameday she'll be ready for 12 hours + of tailgating heh heh)Celebrating a WIN this year will be SOOOO much nicer ay everyone??

I used to buy the Rags religiously but now with all the internet websites it just isn't worth it. I even stopped my subscription to SHOUT! (although that was mostly due to my perceived drop in objectiveness from the writers once the newspaper changed hands).
My "distant" observation of the Rags is that they never seem to predict anything other than a repeat of the previous year with only a slight change in the margins.
Anyone picking the Bills this year would be taking a risk - JP is an unknown and the Patriots are simply a powerhouse - in the same division.
BUT - the Bills will PROBABLY be a better team this year - Drew's play was so bad and the schedule this year is conducive to a good start. Therefore, 7-9 (a 2-game drop from last year's 9-7) is a poor prediction and has to assume that JP will play considerably worse than Drew did last year.
Might happen - but my money is on the SLIGHT opposite (I expect JP to play better than Drew did last year due to his legs). If JP actually starts to stop and throw then I predict he will play much beeter than Drew which would equate to at least a 2-game swing.
Also, this love-fest with the Jets will end this year. They will be under 500 in 2005. Bank it.

The comparisons to RJ (even as a joke) are premature and JP has already voiced his extreme displeasure at the comparison.
It sounds to me like a few of you are mssing the point Vic was making with the "rollout pocket helping the line" statement. Defensive coordinators plan their pass rush attack based on the type of QB they are facing. A slow QB means the defense can always know where a QB will be if a pass occurs - Drew was always 3-5 steps back, right behind center. All rushers could plan ahead on going to that spot. A mobile pocket does not mean scrambling QB. It means a planned shift of the pcoket to a position not right behind center. This is designed to throw off blitzers.
There are drawbacks to this approach obviously - it can reduce the field for the QB and confuse the linemen (hence why this requires a lot of practice!). It also requires a fast QB who can get to the new pcoket location quickly to allow for time for him to set and scan the field.
***************
The bigger question for JP is not can he move fast (we know he can). The question is how fast can he read the defense and pull the trigger on a pass. Big Ben impressed me from Day 1 in that, even when the opportunity for a scramble was there in front of him - he was looking downfield to throw the ball. When I see JP start to do that (think pass first and not panic and run too early) THAT wil be a good sign that he can make it in this league.
RJ panicked all the time - even when there was no pressure on him. His linemen never knew where he was or where he was going. he just plain out sucked.
JP - in the preseason - DID show some pocket sense (un RJ-like), coukld throw the screen (un Drew-like), and occasionally hung in the pocket to the last second.
That was preseason, let's see how he matures.
here's hopin'.......

I'm curious VA: If the Media always lies, then where did you get the information that confirmed this? Didn't that very same information come from a media source?
or do you have a source or several media sources you trust and other sources you do not?

I am working my way through his book now.
It is not long winded but I am still not up to the Bills part yet.
It's a good read.

Too many different schedules and we are a wider-spread group than you realize (Sid comes from 60 miles way as does Big dady Hulse (to "Bills Central" in Millstone NJ).
Anyway, SOME car pooling but that is all.
Mark will be bringing the hot peppers this year Mr Host.
Be prepared to sweat.
AS PER ALWAYS: BIG DADDY WILL TAKE ON ALL (alleged) CHALLENGERS! - to out hot him in hot pepper eating.
My advice? be afraid, be very afraid.
(His stomach is made of galvanized steel)

Hi Hammer
The CNJBBB has purchased 27 tickets so our contingent is even larger than last year.
We will be cooking wings as per usual and require 2 parking spaces. One for Mike "Big Daddy" Hulse and one for Mark Week's truck.
Lisa and I will be arriving with Mark in our car - we will simply park as close to the general area as we can but outside the Tent area is fine. The other members will have to do the same.

My lord some of you aren't even "half-empty" people!
You need to read the tale: chicken little
No F_ING way will McGee not return Kickoffs for the Bills
He is the best one they have had in DECADES
TD obviously thinks this new kid is a good athlete that offers depth to the team

Come Hungry.
The CNJBBB is already starting to plump up the birds
Hot wings

Where else would you rather be?
Go Bills!

I know I know , TH talk and huge disaggreements yada yada
but I still don't want to trade him for a LOW third rounder. (which is what an eagle pick next year will be)
I prefer keeping him as a backup
I realize I may be in minority but that is my opinion. If Philly is willing to make it conditional (+1000 yd = 2nd and +1500 = 1st)
O.k. then

Agents ALWAYS overstate how quickly their players can be back on the field.
The fact that only one ligament was involved IS good news but the rehab is still 6 months to be able to START light practicing and no one recovers fully for at least 9-12 months. Typically longer for speed but being a TE Everett might not be as affected by that.
My own prediction is that Everett will not suit up for a game at all this year and - if he does - it won't be until November.
(PS: I am HARDLY a pro but I do have experinece in ACL tears - having torn mine twice inthe same knee. I did jog 22 miles on my "bad" legs last week so I am not a complete gimp (I did say "not a complete, mind you)

Lower bowl will cost you unless you can find someone at this site selling them.
I think there are lots of great seats and that the upper bowl is fine but that's just me.
Jay Rosen will be buying a block of seats (upper deck typically around the 30 yard line, shady side)
Since I and the CNJBBB will be there enmass, and since I own seassn tix, I will (eventually) be selling my upper deck, 50 yard line seats for the Opener. I won't be sellign them, however, until summer at the earliest.
So, if you wait a bit, Wallers (such as myself) will be selling tickets (at cost) to Bills fans.
up to you...
Go Bills!!

FWIW: SI's Don Bank's in his latest article - part of which talks about TH but another talks about an LA football team, mentions the following:
"So if it is the Saints, Chargers, Colts, Vikings or even the Raiders who move to L.A. -- and that's thought to be the order of likelihood -- look for the league to orchestrate the sale of the team to the buyer of its choosing before the relocation takes place."

Another player with Rosenhaus as his agent?

FOXBORO, Mass. (AP) -- New England Patriots defensive lineman Richard Seymour was missing Thursday at the start of the Super Bowl champions' mandatory minicamp.
Patriots coach Bill Belichick said only that Seymour's absence was unexcused but he would not comment on whether it is the contract holdout the All-Pro defender had hinted at this offseason. Seymour's agent, Roosevelt Barnes, did not immediately return a call seeking comment.
Seymour signed a six-year deal as a rookie that was to pay him $14.3 million. It still has two years left.
