So you believe the reason that coaches game plan around not throwing at Revis is because the media makes him out to be more of a player than he really is?

The latest post game installment... http://philadehliaeagles.com/

The play of the entire offense has been shocking to say the least. There were tons of question marks about the potential of this offense in August. The questions have been answered...the OL, Fitz, Jackson, Chandler, and the unheralded WR's continue to amaze. Oh...and kudos to the mastermind of the offense...Gailey.

I'm nitpicking seeing how they are 5-2. I'd just rather see them do without the wildcat. I agree...here's hoping there is a game winning play in Smith's near future.

7 games, 19 carries, 7 first downs, for an average of a whopping ONE first down per game. I'll stick with my statement that I would rather have Fitz at QB, and Jackson running the ball.

The owners would vote this down. They are not cutting into their profit margin to keep a developmental league afloat. I think this is the same reason why they don't have full time officials.

Don't fool yourself. The bottom line is, the contract that was offered to Barnett by the Bills was probably the best offer he received. If some other team had a better offer, Barnett would not be a Bill no matter what Merriman said to him.

Fitz is the guy who should be taking the snap on EVERY play. Is there any other team even using the wildcat anymore? I can't say I remember seeing it in any game this year. I'd be shocked if the answer is more than a couple of teams besides the Bills, and my guess would be that their QB's are less than stellar.

You mean like Merriman?

David Nelson

No. He. Isn't. There have been numerous failed blitz attempts in terms of getting pressure on the QB, and without the blitz attempts, the pressures are even more non-existant.

Assuming the Bills have an internal cap number that is less than the actual cap(I think this is completely feasible), I wonder when the Bills are going to run up against it? They still have to pay Johnson and Jackson, and I would think that contract extensions for Wood and Levitre are going to happen in the next year or two. Contract extensions on the defensive side of the ball?? Not so sure? George Wilson, Barnett, someone else???

That is a nice event, but nothing compared to the free parties Russ Salvatore used to throw at Shooters.

I agree.

Not to mention journalism degrees. With newspapers dying everywhere, I can't believe the job market is rosy.

Based on what? His vast resume of coaching experience? Kelly's role with the Bills should never go beyond some sort of ambassador role with the Public Relations/Marketing department.

Let's go for Coleman who hasn't done SQUAT in the regular season and pass on Banta-Cain and Odom, who while they aren't dominating pass rushers, are heads and tails better than anyone else available.

...but are you going to be at the World Series game(s) having a Mike's or two or three?

It appears in your rendering, that you have suites replacing one upper deck or both upper decks. Who is your target audience? Next time you watch a Bills home game, notice all the empty red club level seats. Also notice in the one end zone where they now have advertising over several of the dugout suites which are clearly unoccupied. PS I love the idea of stadium tours and a Bills HoF(not sure how a bar/restaurant would do there other than 8 Sundays a year), but I have a feeling these ideas would not get a thumbs up from the 3 headed monster at OBD.

I'll have a few beers from time to time, but if I'm out, I normally drink 7-7's. If I am at home(especially in the summer), nothing like a few very strong margarita's or a few glasses of wine. On a sidenote...After the Bills game against New England a few weeks back, we were waiting for our bus to leave, and after eating and drinking all day(and sitting in 80+ degree heat), I grabbed a Mike's Lemonade from a cooler I brought with me. A girl who was in the same group came up to me and said "How is your girlie drink?". :lol:

I like the 2nd heat when Johnny Bench alternates between crawl stroke, back stroke, and running along the bottom of the pool. That was a GREAT show.

Yep!

Anybody have current QB contract numbers? When the contract was signed, how many years & how much $$$. 12 mil per year seems on the high side.

Are you speculating that the Bills will kick in $50+ mil towards these renovations? Keep dreaming. It will be taxpayer funded...all of it.
