  1. I remember one play vividly with the exception of who we were playing. He was covering a punt as the gunner, he came down the field in a blaze of fury and laid a lick on the returner just as he caught the ball. It has to be one of the hardest hits I have seen in football to this day. What was so awesome was that he hit the guy so hard he never hung on to the ball. We recovered as scored a TD.

  2. I remember that well. I never felt the need to lambaste Overdorff simply because I'm obviously not privy to what's truly going on, so why even comment. I guess with me it's more that I trust Whaley's and the Pegula's trust in Overdorff more than I do. And that's only really because Overdorff is a behind the scenes guy, so one can't really get much of a read on him other than second hand commentary from others in the organization.

    Agreed. I always believed that the cash to cap philosophy that we followed for so many years was RJW's doing and not Overdorf and Littman. I'm a huge fan of RJW and I do not want to speak ill of the dead but, the last 10 years or so, he really had no business owning the team with the decisions he was making..or appeared to be making.

  3. You just have to be smart about who you give that cash to. As the Redskins and Dolphins have shown, just going after big names for the sake of it is not the best approach. I trust Whaley and his team and Overdorf to formulate an exact plan and do their best to execute it. Sometimes that includes a big name or two sometimes it doesn't.

     

    What I find interesting is before the Pegula's purchased the Bills, a lot of people wanted to crucify Overdorf along with a few others regarding Cap management, and now many of those same people are saying they trust Overdorf to get things right. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you were one of them, I just find it interesting that you mention Overdorf.

  4. Belichick never won before Brady. And save the Cassel point. Cassel inherited a 16-0 team and they missed the playoffs the next year.

     

    Brady made Belichick a HOF coach.

    I will mostly agree with you. His teams were not dominate before Brady, but they were productive and played well with Bledsoe, and he knew when to dump him at the end of his career.

  5. What gets me is after 1st and 2nd place, take away the coaches quarterback and most of them would flounder horribly. Carroll is winning with all be it a good quarterback, but he's not great. Bellycheat can win with anyone, he's proven that. But he still gets the asterisk because he cheats. McCarthy....forget about it! You take away Rogers and that guy couldn't win a hand of strip poker against a blind women with no arms let alone a football game. The same goes for a lot of them. Pagano, Chip Kelly, just to name a few are highly over rated. The point is that its a craps shoot when comes to finding a winning football coach.

  6. thats what I don't like - the stream sometimes freezes which is torture during a football game lol. YouTube should be ok on a tablet or phone but I am old school and want it on my tv.

    Yolo, on a website like youtube you should not see those kinds of issues as long as you have a decent broadband internet connection. The freezes in the stream usually happen when using the scetchy website when trying to view games from "illegal" streaming sites. Watching from your big sceen shouldn't be an issue.

  7. If someone jumps the gun on information that isn't yet finalized, I question both their motivation and their juice. Any "insider" wouldn't bolt to the internet with half-baked murmurs, IMO. :pirate:

    I whole hardheartedly agree with you Big Cat!! I never understood anyone wanting to come out and say they have insider info when they are posting. You could possibly loose your inside info, and on the flip side, if you end up being wrong, your going to get roasted by fellow posters. Personally, I would keep my mouth shut all together or post my info as a "I hope this happens" and lay it out.

     

    On a similar note, I sometime think that a few of our fellow posters are within the Bill Organization itself and are in place to push out disinformation. We all should be careful about what we believe when someone says "hey, i heard from a good inside source that....so and so is getting cut, or so and so is being fired, hired, or what ever".

     

    fwiw anyway, jmho

  8. I was assuming this was about Colt McCoy...

     

     

     

    Well.......Tuel, Kolb, Lewis, EJ, Orton, Cassell not withstanding, perhaps.

    Mr. WEO, I would have to respectfully disagree in regards to Kolb and Orton. Kolb was a good signing for us, he and the Bills just had bad luck with the concussion not to mention the side line slip that caused him to be out of practice and preseason for a few weeks. Other than how Orton left...which was a pretty S@!tty way to go, he had us a game away from the playoffs. Not sure how any of us could complain about that since we have not sniffed even a hint of getting to the playoffs in years.

     

    PS. Jury still out on Cassell. He may turn out to be an okay game manger for the short term.

  9. He seems very slow and lumbering. I didn't see him a ton but those are some of the first impressions I got from him.

    It's interesting that you use the words slow and lumbering. While Jim Kelly had the outstanding arm strength and good accuracy, he was considered slow and lumbering because he was such a big guy. Now I am not comparing him to Jimbo in any way, I have never seen the guy play, I'm just noting the similarities in how they have been described.

     

    They find Peyton attractive because of the size of his wallet and the fact that he is a QB. If he was a dishwasher at the local Denny's, they would not find him "attractive".

    I have never read anything more true than this!
