  1. I am a fan of Josh Reed.  I like how he plays but unfortunately teams aren't afraid of him. 

     

    The two biggest plays of the game on offense came when Evans was in the game.  The first one was where he drew the safety's away by going deep.  This lead to a 36 yard pass to moulds.  The 2nd play was the 60 yard bomb at the end of the game.

     

    Evans can go over the middle, make the short passes and is a threat deep.  Every team we faced probably scouted this guy this past draft.  So they know what he can do.

     

    The offense is struggling it is time for a change.  Smash mouth football won't win you a championship.

    Didn't the Giants beat us in Super Bowl XXV playing smash mouth football?

     

    The truth is that Bledsoe has to find a reliable target outside of Moulds whether it be Reed or Evans or even Bobby Shaw.

  2. He was right next to us at Hammers tailgate, literally 30 feet away at the WGR tent . They set up at Hammers Lot for the games.

     

    He's from Boston and a closet Pats fan, like Mr. Bone. Drilling the Bills is just a paycheck for him.

    I was listening to the pregame show last weekend and Brad Riter mentioned something to Jerry just before the name the player game and the contestants being from Two Bills Drive and everyone here hating him. I had a good chuckle out of it but Sullivan seemed unphased as don't think he replyed.

  3. I don't think it's fair comparing Lindell to Vanderjagt or Andersen as both have played a majority of their careers in domes. (I think Lindell played in a dome as a rookie hence his great % but can't remember for sure when the Seahakws moved out of the dome). In terms of Vinitairi he's one of the best kickers in the league. While I am concerned with Lindell's accuracy, it's too easy to make him a scape goat for yesterday's loss. The offense and defense made quite a few mistakes yesterday that also lead to the defeat.

  4. I'm sick and tired of talking about the Jax game, it makes me sick to my stomach.  There is no one scapegoat no matter how you slice and dice it.  Clements error wouldn't have been a big deal had Moulds not fumbled or if the offense converted from the 3 yard line. 

     

    The real question is: Can this team regroup and beat Oakland? How do you think we match up against them???

     

    I'll be at the game.

    As said in the preseason, if the offense can manage to score 17 points a game there's no reason we can't win every game this season. Oakland has two good cover CBs in Woodson and Buchannon and with BIG TED in the middle might have a good rushing defense which could spell troubles for the offense. If we're going to win Bledsoe needs to gain some faith with throwing to guys other then Eric Moulds or else it could be a long season.

  5. Same thing happened in the Texans game last year, remember?  D held the Texans all game, one long pass to Andre Johnson in the 4th Quarter, Clemens goes for the pick, GAME OVER.

     

    I'll tell you something, folks - it's not about show-boating, or about me-firstness - I think it's even worse than that:

     

    INCENTIVES.

     

    Everyone in the entire stadium knew it was fourth-and-forever.  You don't forget that kind of thing.  Clemens saw an opportunity to get a pick, maybe a TD, and pad his stats and his contract.  It infuriates me.  I'M SICK OF IT.

    Let's not forget if Clements doesn't go after the ball earlier in the game and get the pick we most likley not had the lead at the point in the game either. oYu can't have it two ways, everyone I am sure applauds Nate for his INT in the first half that lead to the Moulds TD but will then dump on him for doing the same thing later in the game. Now there's no telling for sure what Winfield would have done if he were in that situation but I have a feeling that Winfield would have been behind Smith and then just try to wrap him up with a tackle.

     

    I know people will point to Winfield's two fumble recoveries yesterday but look at the play by play. The Vikings were up by 11 and 18 in the 4th Quarter which definately helps Winfield's situation where Clements was in a close game where any mistake will be greatly magnified (as seen by this posts and others).

     

    I stand by that Clements is far and away a better CB then Winfield because he is a playmaker.

  6. here's my roster (10 team league, performance):

     

    QB -- delhomme

    RB1 -- tomlinson

    RB2 -- faulk (marshall, not kevin)

    WR1 -- chad johnson

    WR2 -- darrell jackson

    WR3 -- michael clayton, lee evans, or darius watts?

     

     

    what do you guys/gals think about a week one 3rd WR?

     

    thx!

    I'd go with Watts, as I think he beat out Lelie as the Broncos #2 WR (you might want to check this to confirm though). Not to mention Plummer seemed to favor going to him against us in the preseason which could mean he could have a big year. Evans and Clayton seem to be stuck behind veterans and might get a catch or two at most per game unless someone goes down with an injury.

  7. I have not lived in Buffalo since 1988, but I do remember Susan Banks was quite the looker in her day.  Is she still on in Buffalo.  I think last time I was home, I saw her on the tele, and she looked as fetching as ever.  Classy, beautiful, and a good reporter.  Down here in Austin, the local news personalities are horrible.  Lots of hotties, but terrible anchors/reporters...

    Banks is still around. see her Channel 7 profile here.

  8. Most Rochesterians should know who I am talking about.  She does the weekend newscasts for NBC in Rochester.  I think she is one hell of a cute girl.  Depressing news stories are not as depressing when she is on.   

     

    My wife always knows when she is on.  I turn on the news and if it's her, I give a big Ohh yeahhhh!!!  Then I get the look, even though my wife agrees with me and says she is pretty.

     

    Just once, that's all.   :(

    Buffalo's got a cute female reporter or two. My personal favorite is Jodi Johnston, who ironically enough also works for the NBC affiliate. You'll need to scroll down to find her http://www.wgrz.com/bios/default.aspx

  9. So, who do we go with?

     

    I say we start Reed, and move him to the slot in 3 wide packages. Evans hasn't proved he's better than Reed yet, and since he's a rookie, I don't think he should be given the benefit of the doubt as far as that's concerned.

    19314[/snapback]

    Hell Evans didn't show to be better then Sam Aiken. I definately start Reed and put Evans in on 3 WR sets but give Bobby Shaw a nod too. As to me that first drive against Detroit showed what this offense should be. A slow methodical move the chains offense.Yes, it's nice to have someone like Evans who could take it to the house if gets in the open field but until he can prove to be a guy that get seperation and catch the ball consistantly I say meet the benc Lee. I was also mildly surprised we didn't see Evans used in the return game. I know he wasn't much of a returner at Wisconsin but this is the NFL, if you're not starting you should be on special teams IMHO.

  10.  

    And if he failed as a TE,  was he so bad he coudn't play tackle?

    19290[/snapback]

    I'd have to redig up his combine numbers but he might not have the strength to play tackle. Not to mention he has to learn the position. I'm sure another team might give him another look but I have a feeling Peters will never have much of an NFL career as he is a man without a position.

  11. In question...

    LG: Smith, Tucker, or Pucillo?

    WR: Reed or Evans?

    DE: Kelsay or Denney?

    FS & SS: Milloy is the starting SS, but he's hurt.  Who's the starting FS and who covers for LM?

    KR/PR: McGee, Smith, Clements, who?

    19291[/snapback]

    LG: Lawrence Smith should start.

    WR: Josh Reed or Bobby Shaw

    DE: Ryan Denney with Chris Kelsay in on passing downs.

    FS: Izell Reese

    SS: Coy Wire until Lawyer Milloy is healthy

    KR: Terrence McGee & Josh Reed

    PR: Terrence McGee, Nate Clements & Shaud Williams.
