Mister Defense

I have no idea and cannot find any information on this. Also, is there any one place to go online, every week, to determine if the Bills are on tv? Maybe not as relevant during the regular season, but even then it is difficult to determine sometimes. I am in Syracuse. Thanks.

Great; I was listening in minutes. Thanks!

I thought I'd be able to find it easily, but all the links I hit on the Westwood One site have different shows on. Any radio streaming it live will do. Thanks.

Getting rid of Collins was the worst mistake the Bills have made since I have been a fan in the late 70's. It set in motion over a decade of poor quarterback play and lots of wasted picks and money, such as the impetus for the move, the Rob Johnson signing. Then, the Redkins made the same mistake, letting Campbell start for years when the superior talent was on the bench. (The only real success they had recently was when Collins replaced Campell.) Maybe this year he gets a chance again. Cutler needs to develop the skills that Collins has--accuracy, playing within himself, solid preparation, and calmness under pressure.

Thanks for news. Collins is the kind of mentor Jay Cutler needs, and it looks like he is there for the year with a guaranteed contract. Go Todd!

I didn't look very hard, but see no indication of this for Friday's game. I do see that the Bills/Skins game is on 13 in Rochester, but can't find it in Syracuse. On regular tv in Syracuse too??? Also, let me know if there is one place to go to find this info consistently. Thanks!

Thanks. This is one of the better reports about camp that I have read this year. Trent is the man, will have a good year.

This yahoo's got to be kidding, right!? Ridiculous--the thread asked who we wanted to see cut, not because of who we just didn't like, but who we thought was not good for the football team. A joke, right? Sounds like a walking cliche, throwing out every worn out phrase out there to show how compassionate he is. BS if it is real, and he has really run "acropper"! It also "saddens me about the human condition". And make no mistake--there is definitely "vitriol behind the sentiment expressed" in my post. Yuk!

QUOTE (Hplarrm @ Aug 7 2010, 02:16 AM) The approach is a bit odd to me in that while I think there are players who I believe will get cut it is the rare player that I actually wish he gets cut. However, some fans get enjoyment out of seeing others suffer so I guess whatever floats one's boat. Some of the most msiguided crticism of a post I have ever read on this board. He and the others are not rooting against the Bills by naming the players they think are weakest on the Bills, hence, the ones he wants cut. What self-rightheous nonsense by the two posters criticizing this as rooting against Bills players. (See the bold above for the most outrageous example of this.)

Thanks. This great 2007 Sports Illustrated article states clearly that Walsh wanted Plummer and also has excellent analysis of Jamrcus Russel that, if accepted by the Raiders, could have saved them millions of dollars and avery high draft pick: "Beware of the big arm Russell's cannon doesn't guarantee he'll be great QB" It was written April 7. It makes you realize how ridiculous some aspects of those pro days are, that the feats quarterbacks are asked to perform are almost comical, such as "'the butt throw' -- a pass delivered while sitting at the opponent's 40-yard-line...through the uprights of the goalpost." Silver pulls no punches in the article, which is pretty rare today. He compares Russel to Druckenmeyer, someone who wowed them at the pro day with a huge arm. He makes this comparison to scouts and they discount it. Funny how this writer was able to see something that most of the NFL scouts could not.

Jeff George?? This is a joke, just to get a reaction, right? He will be 43 this season, never looked very good when he was younger, hasn't thrown a pass in the NFL in almost a decade, and was one of the worst leaders I have ever seen in this league. Pretty funny, actually, as no one can be this ignorant.

10-6, but I agree that with a few breaks.... If Trent Edwards plays well this is a playoff team.

No way--very inaccurate about your assessment of Collins. None of the quarterbacks we have had since they ran Collins out of town has been as good as he was, did what he would have done if given a reasonable opportunity. I don't think the Bills should sign him now, though he could still play at a high level and does not have a lot of mileage on his arm and body. But getting rid of Todd Collins (giving up those picks for Rob Johnson and every bad quarterback move that followed) was the worst decision that this franchise has made since I became a fan in the late 70's.

kind of funny! They do! Well, we want them to. But I do think that they are being overhyped are over confident. The Bills will be better this year, flying way under the radar until the season gets going. Whichever team's quarterback --Bills or Jets-- has the better year will have the better record. I'll have my money on Trent and the Bills, as I think the Jets are in for a letdown this year, need another year for Sanchez to grow and for the team (and coach) to mature. The Bills will be better this year.

Look, no doubt that in his position he needs to keep it under wraps all of the time; the guy has done enough in the last few years to understand this. But, he was peeing on a golf course, something probably everyone who plays the game has done, and likely often. The problem with your response is that you are embellishing. He was not "brandishing" it, at least no indication of that, was not doing anything except urinating. Ridiculous that she called the police--just gets the guy sympathy that he doesn't deserve and makes the next accusation against him less credible as it is seen as piling on or taking advantage of his celebrity and reputaion. It diminishes the seriousness of what he has done in the past, in my book. bran·dish: to shake or wave, as a weapon; flourish: Brandishing his sword, he rode into battle.

That yahoo woman reporting this should have pressed charges. Would have showed her as the idiot in need of help, not Ben. We have all met people like that woman before, and they make the world a worse place than morons like Roethlisberger.

How is this in any way relevant to the Bills or the NFL?????? This board should not be like Entertainment Tonight is now, reporting every indiscretion, no matter the relevance. WHO CARES!?!! It is their busineess, means nothing to anyone on this board--or, rather, should not.

Wow, you just keep going... Trashing the entire slate of quarterbacks in a message and now Lynch... As stupid as your comments about the quarterbacks on this team, and just as fact-based. Any Bills players you actually like, any that you will actually say have a chance to be good this year? Now I will say it defiitively--the kind of fan who gets upset when 'his' team wins, the kind that makes excuses for why that happened, the kind of fan that wants his team to lose late in the year for a better draft pick, and the kind of fan that leaves the game at the end of the 3rd quarter just to beat the traffic. I have little doubt about any of these things. Get a new team, bozo.

Holy crap! One of the most negative posts ever. Seems like you would be unhappy if one of the quarterbacks turned out to play well this year. How can you be a Bills fan and be so closed mind and negative about our quarterbacks? Brohm is still an unknown, has never played in an NFL game, and Edwards has showed potential, albeit derailed by an unstable team. Fitzpartick has looked good at times as well, like a starting caliber quarterback. There is hope, is what I am saying, and it's not blind faith-- good new leadership on and off the field, talented players at several positions, and a new philosophy and attitude. BS that so many people are so pessissmistic about this team, the quarterbacks, and the future. This is going to be an excellent year for the Bills.

Great point--a team that lets a few misguided yahoos on message boards make decisions for them is a team that will always be losing. Too often lately the fans have seemed to have that power--but now that we have actual football people running the show, we have returned to the Polian/Levy philosophy, where the outcry of some fans was taken as seriously as a little kid saying he wanted candy for dinner. Now we know that the best players will start again. Great news--and GO Edwards, who will be the key to the Bills success this year.

Thanks for the insight!

"It's going to be a great thing to see on paper, fantasy, live, in practice, in video games," Lynch said. "However you can see us get down to action and regardless of who the No. 1 is, even if I'm No. 5, it's going to be beautiful to watch us play." That is the last comment of Lynch's is the article; isn't this more telling than anything else in the article--the guy likes football, think that liking the Jets is going to make him play less hard against them?? Those last 9 words are what you should be focused on.

I am sure there have many threads about aspects of this, but I just want a detailed summary of who looks the best and why. The article saying some positive things about the receivers makes me hopeful that the quarterbacks are also looking good--somebody is getting the ball to these guys, making them look 'dynamic' so far.

That's the spirit! One of those fans who root for the Bills to lose at the end of the year to get a better draft pick. To say none of these quarterbacks has the potential to be a solid starting quarterback is nonsense. And then Brohm, "completely written off" , compared to Bruce Mathison!

!!!!!!!! Brady is one of the worst looking quarterbacks I have ever seen play in the NFL. He cannot throw the ball down the field. Any time I have seen him try he has to give himself a full body wind up and looks more like a weak armed high school quarterback, or a man playing at a park with his family, than an NFL quarterback. He cannot even throw short passes well, has little zip or touch and seems to not be able to read defenses. Ridiculous idea, but probably will be supported by the 'throw the bum--TE--out' folks, the same ones who say Edwards cannot throw the ball down the field. But Edwards has a MUCH better arm than Quinn, in every respect.
