We learned not to expect greatness from this team. If success comes at all, we will be happy to enjoy its fruits.

Don't you know that there's no such thing as a lateral in the NFL? It's called a "backward pass" and yes it was. hahahaha
Maybe it was supposed to be a Moulds option pass??????

Honestly, it is because BADOL always seems to have a clear perspective of what's going on. Of course, you can love or hate the "end of the world" posts, the "Insert Name Here sucks" posts or even the "Fire so-and-so" posts. But after an especially tough-to-stomach loss like this, BADOL put it in perspective and helped me explain what really is going on.
I don't really care if we have no heart today. I care instead to understand the problem and then watch to see if the staff is working toward finding a solution to the problem. That makes being a fan much more fun and entertaining.

My observation is that this team has no heart. The stars of the team are losers who come up small when it matters. I repeat what I said a month ago, the team is not fun to watch and I would be happy if they could just blow it up and start from scratch because there isn't a player on the team who I would be upset to see leave. Fans get attached to players who come up big when it matters, and guys like Moulds, Spikes, Clements and Henry repeatedly come up small in the clutch. Everyone keeps trying to project victories upon this team based on talent and matchups, etc., but the reality is that they are losers who don't know how to win. What's worse, they are established veteran losers, not young kids. Gonna' be another long year of bewildered fans wondering how a fairly talented team can be so bad.
You are a very wise sage, my man. Glad to have your analysis after these games. It makes me feel a heluva a lot better with a decent perspective. Your glasses are always very clear. Thanks BADOL.

My observation for the Colts loss to NE are:
Edgerrin James single-handedly lost the game for the Colts. Sure, Manning threw the pick and Vanderjagt missed the FG, but overall the Colts should've won that game dispite their slip-ups.
Marvin Harrison was a non-factor, even though Law was dinged, but the Colts should've won dispite Harrison's non-performance.
But, James putting the ball on the ground in two (count 'em - 2) critical situations is absolutely unforgivable. It cost them the ballgame.
This from a guy who doesn't like to play in preseason, wants to be traded, and has developed a piss-poor atitude IMO.
All I can say, for those Travis Henry critics around here, is that we are blessed to have TH, WM and all their banter. I'd bet my paycheck that neither one of them will single-handedly lose a game for the Bills this season.

I guess that I'm happy that we got the deal done before the season began. I still question whether a "high motor" guy is worth the big bucks. I like Aaron's progression over the years, and he is our best DE, but could we have used that money to get a bigger and stronger DE to compliment the other two "high motor" guys we have on the other side?
What is the opinion here?
Also, I guess that means Jennings is history, as we all figured.

Trying out for team dunce.

I'd bet that we'll not see Pucillo on the field much. He seems like a veteran presence that can help Lawrence Smith with his experience, especially at handling negative criticism. If one of the interior linemen goes down, I would guess the Bills would make a roster move, like bringing Sobieski back from the PS if he makes it there later today.
-
While I do not disagree with the opinion that Kelsay looks better against the run, I cannot understand one thing. Consistantly, the Bills have said that Denny is "solid against the run" and weaker against the pass. What is it that we do not see that make the Bills like Denny so much as a run stopper. His stock in this department has been going up each year.
Maybe TSW doesn't know more that NFL coaches? Or not.
-
Some of the truth that we likely will never know may be:
1. Sobieski's history of injuries are popping up again. He did hobble off the field in Detroit. He may still not have fully recovered.
2. When choosing who to release for the practice squad, the choices are often predicated by lack of interest by other teams. Since Sobieski is unknown he is an obvious candidate.
3. Pucillo may not be very good, but he is experienced and can be a bigger help to L Smith than a guy like Sobieski. If Sobieski goes unclaimed and makes the PS then you may see a mid-season move if we see an interior lineman go down.

I predict that Gildon will have 3 sacks, McKenzie will have at least 2 sacks, Stephenson will recover 2 ST fumbles. Ken Simonton will have 100+ yards rushing and Sullivan will emerge as a driven tackle, and Haddad will have a long TD reception.
Ooooops, they're all cut. Goes to show you how much I know. lol

Next time, use a larger font. That way we'll be able to read it the FIRST time.

For the love of Christ, could someone please explain to me why Jason Esposito is still on our roster???
-
Excellent story. Tell us about the Durrand Roundtree - gangland connection. I'm sure the "hit" on Travis brown is somehow tied into this conspiracy. And, did Milloy forget to pay back his debt? I figure it was either a broken arm or a broken kneecap. How much was he into his bookie for, anyhow?
-
Listen here. I was at the game. Lindell looked good. He had plenty of distance on the 49 yarder and didn't miss by much. He has look real good all preseason. He sure beats the heck out of Shafer. The out of bounds kickoff was called to the corner. So he missed by a few yards. Vanderjagt did the same thing a few minutes before. Would you cut him?
-
Wouldn't you agree, Zolman looked pretty darn good for his first NFL game? I sure thought so.

After the drive back to Fort Wayne, here are my comments from tonights game.
1. Mike Williams and Chris Villarial aren't clicking at all. When one zigs the other zags. Big trouble. Smith & Sullivan looked like Pro Bowlers in comparison. All this, primarily on running plays. Pass protection wasn't as bad as I honestly expected. Sully did get beat badly once. Smith lost his shoe and Tucker wasn't ready to come in, so they had to burn a timeout. Mularkey gave him an earful, bigtime.
2. In an effort to get a pass rush, the LBs are coming so frequently that if a back breaks containment or gets past the first line of defense, its a long gainer. Yes, the pressure was good all night, but the cost for that pressure is quite few long runs and short passes going for 20-30 yards. I don't know if I like this better than no pass rush at all.
3. Willis McGahee is not ready for prime time. He hits the holes and runs with power, but has no speed or burst. None at all. Not a bit. Plus, he put the ball on the carpet once. Kiss my a$$ Rosenhaus. Shaud Williams is a better runner right now.
4. Goodbye Travis Brown. That injury looked bad, real bad. I haven't seen a leg bend that way since Joe Theisman did it. I was in row 9. Ouch. (it hurt me, it looked so bad. Anyhow, Flutie could've gotten the ball further than Travis did on that long ball INT.
5. On that blocked punt, it wasn't anybody's fault on the field. Too bad the guy who was supposed to be in there was watching the implants on the cheerleaders. Of course, somebody should've noticed and called time out.
6. What happened to Coy Wire's tackling??? He can still hit, and he's around the ball, but he can't tackle to save his life. Two plays later he makes the pick. With Malloy out, maybe he makes the team. Otherwise, hit the road.
7. Both teams looked tired. I guess that's what you get on the last week of camp. Bledsoe looked as good or better than Manning all 3 quarters they played. If we would have had Henry in there we would've moved the chains more.
8. Few penalties... a great thing. Bledsoe's pick was clearly Shaw's fault. He cut the route off short as Bledsoe led him upfield. Bad read by the wideout.
Has anybody seen Lee Evans? Somebody out there wore his shirt, but whoever that was, he isn't ready for the NFL.
9. Once again I am reminded how great the Ralph is. Let me tell you, the RCA Dome sucks. So do the fans that sat near me. Those that had a brain didn't have any class and those without... please wipe up your drool. Anyhow, I had a heluva time fitting my ass between the cupholders on those god-awful theatre seats. $79 friggin dollars apiece for a piece of crap seat.
That is all for tonight.

FYI, I am sitting at Aisle 142, Row 9, with my wife and friends. If anybody wants to drop over and say hello, I'll be wearing my Bills clothes.

First, Wire did not make it past the first cutdown. That is next week. The Bills just got halfway there a few days ahead of schedule.
Second, Wire is not a great ST player, and arguably not even a really good one. He is a serviceable ST player and possibly may become a serviceable safety. Please do not compare Coy to any really good or great players.
The problem lies with deciding to continue the Coy Wire project, or begin to develop a hotter, younger prospect. The final decision will be based on guys like Rashad Baker's development as well as in commiting the starters to ST play.
No matter how you slice it, there is likely no way that both Prioleau and Wire stick. As much as I wish it weren't true, right now Prioleau is a more effective player.

Actually, I'd like to think all the doubters WOULD both hold their breath AND duct tape their mouths (and noses). Sure would be a lot more pleasant around here without all the doomsayers. lol

Fax him a photocopy of your ass!

Listen...
There was no injury to JP Losman. He is fine and his captors are treating him well. You might see his double standing on the sidelines with a cast on his leg. Not to worry. It is not really JP. The Tri-lateral Commission is holding JP until the proper time and place. You will see.

I bet he figured that their will to win was greater than it actually was. Anyhow, if Clements knocks down that ball, we're all saying it was a great plan. In the end it should've worked if the players had done their jobs.
