Yeah...running game strong so far, they just aren't doing it enough!!!!! TOO MANY PASSES SO FAR. On that long draw to Bell, I couldn't help but think that Spiller takes that one to the house......

That should have been a Pick 6 for Corner........

If Johnson was a little faster, that's a TD..... Followed up by a terrible throw by Trent........ Missed our starting lineman there......

SPILLER!!!!!!!!!

Good opening drive.........aside for the hold that killed it. Looked like an NFL offense for a while there! HA!

GO FOR IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

good rush by maybin on that last 3rd down.....

Ellis looks like he is a bit bigger than in the past.

No injuries please!!!!!!!!

LET'S GO BILLS!!!!!!!

Only way we will see Shout in the game any time soon is when Madden allows us to put in our own custom music like the NHL series does. Not sure why Madden has not put that feature in yet as a lot of other games have it, but i am hoping it happens sometime soon. But then again, I am still waiting for a lot of other features to be added as well. Gotta love the roster update that we continue to pay for year after year!

Back in both leagues this year! Ready to defend my title in the TBD2 league!!!!!!! I came away champion last year, but it wasn't easy. Got lucky down the stretch! I wasn't so fortunate in the R. Rich League, but I am coming back with retribution in mind!!!!! But the important thing here for these leagues here is that they are a lot of fun. Them opening also means football is right around the corner. So, if you are up to the challenge and want to try to take my crown, BRING IT!!!!!!!

Oh.....there has definitely been change over at One Bills Drive. No doubt about that. And, as I have been saying all along, I think many of the problems with the O-Line, WRs, QBs, etc. can be traced straight back to the offensive scheme and philosophy that this team has had the past 4 years. Jauron was an idiot. He knew nothing about how to run an NFL offense and that is why he has failed virtually every year he was a head coach. I honestly believe this team has more talent than we are given credit for. I also thik just installing a brand new, NFL-style offense, will make every position better. I believe that goes for O-Line, WRs, and yes........even the QBs. Look, I personally don't believe any of the QBs on our rosters are good enough. We will need help there as a long-term answer. BUT....I refuse to believe that they are all as TERRIBLE as what has been shown the last few seasons. I am going to go into this season with an open mind and hope that Gailey gets the best out of all of our offense players so we can for certain see who has talent and can play and who can't. I think there will be some who surprise!

And this is why I deserve to be in the Hall of Fame! I may not post much, but when I do, I always try to bring a great point! HA! Anyway, in all seriousness, the 15-20 yard throws are the key to success in the NFL. If you don't have a QB that can hit that play on a fairly regular basis, you will struggle to score points. You have to keep the defense honest. If you are basically giving them the entire middle of the field, the defense has a major advantage. You have to keep the guessing and keep them spread out on defense. You have to be able to work the entire field to be successful.

Look.............I couldn't care less about the deep ball. I know Trent can make the deep throws. We all know he can make that throw. The throws he can't make..........or is at least not willing to make, are the throws between 15-30 yards down the middle of the field. In this league, good teams pick up chunks of yardage on a regular basis down the middle of the field. With Edwards, it is either a 5 yard dump off (happens 99% of the time) or a bomb 50 yards down the field. There is not much in between. To be a successful QB in this league, you MUST be able to work 15-25 yards down the field on a fairly regular basis. Until we get a QB that can, or is willing to do this, we will continue to struggle.

Beautiful! I like it! I nominate JR In Ann Arbor!

I nominate myself! HA! Just kidding........ But, if someone else nominates me, I'd be honored!

I just wish all of these idiots picking us as the worst team in the league this season we willing to bet on it. In fact, i can virtually guarantee we will not be any worse than last season. So, if they think that the Bills will be the worst team in the league at 6-10 (at worst), then so be it. But if they think we are going 0-16 or 1-15, these guys are even dumber than they are already considered. Talk about mailing in their job. These so-called "experts" are all idiots. Look, I am not sure how good we will be. I am not sure if we will make the Playoffs or if we will struggle again this season. But I GUARANTEE that we will not have the worst record in the league. I'd bet my house on it.

I think there may be a chance that he is simply working out while catching up in the classroom on the installations that he has missed. He may want to make sure he understands what is going on before taking the field so he can participate without wondering what is going on. It could be as simple as that. Ideally, that would be the reason. Hopefully he is out there tomorrow.

OK.......I don't want to come in an ruffle any feathers here, but there are some facts that many of you are leaving out about Fred Jackson's season last year, especially when trying to compare his production to Lynch's. You have to remember that 4 of Fred Jack's most productive games last season came Weeks 1-3 and Week 17. In the first 3 weeks of the season, Jackson got to run behind our offensive line.....our real starters before they really started dropping like flies. Granted, our offensive line is not very good even when all the starters are in there, but they were better when they were healthy for the most part early in the year. As for Week 17, the Colts played their 2nd and 3rd string defense for most of the game. What does this matter? Well, Lynch did not get a single carry in any one of those games. Now, who knows what would have happened if Lynch got to run behind our original offensive line early in the year when guys were healthy. Nobody knows if he would have been as successful against the Colts 3rd string defense in the snow the last game of the season. The point is, if you look at some of Jackson's best games from last year, Lynch didn't have the same opportunity to produce in those same games. Look......I am not trying to take anything away from Jackson. I am not trying to say Lynch is a better RB. I am just trying to add in some, what I think anyway, very important details that most people seem to leave out. I hope people realize that just because they like 1 RB more than another one, doesn't mean one has to be great and the other one has to be trash. THEY CAN BE BOTH VERY GOOD RBs!!! It doesn't have to be 1 or the other. I like Jackson. I think he is a good back. But his lack of TD making abilities is a reason for concern. The fact that he will be 30 years old is a reason for concern. He is a good RB, but the fact is he is not a GREAT RB. He is not a GAME CHANGER. He is a solid RB. I like Lynch as well. I actually think he has more natural talent and gifts than Jackson does, but he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer either. He does stupid things off the football field that may end up ending his career at some point. But, he is also a very solid RB.....in fact, he is a Pro Bowl RB. He has a lot of skills. He actually score TDs as well! But obviously, there are many concerns about him as well. The point is, I wish people would stop trying to praise 1 of these guys while destroying the other. They are both very good RBs and they both have their strengths and weaknesses. You don't need to work so hard to make one that much better than the other. When you break it down, they are actually pretty similar. Not in style, but in production and what they can give you. Personally, I am glad that all of these RBs are on our team. I would rather play with Lynch than against him. I would rather play with Jackson than against him. I would rather play with Spiller than against him. A creative offensive mind can get all of these guys touches if need be. While I still think that 1 of them will be gone before the season (most likely Lynch), I am not opposed to using all 3 on a regular basis. And hey, if Edwards (Captain Checkdown) is our QB, they all might have 100+ catches by the end of the year!

That's interesting considering the fact that Hardy was not at the Rookie OTAs a couple of weeks ago. Gailey said Hardy had to "take care of some things" and that is why he wasn't there. Regardless, Hardy spent a lot of time with T.O. last season and that can only be a good thing for him moving forward. It also sounds like he is talking to Evans a lot this season which is also good. I think he wants to do it. Just a matter of if he can do it.

I don't know.....I just don't like the idea of them going to Canada at all. If that happens, they become a Canadian Team....no longer a Western NY team. No longer the Buffalo Bills. I am sure I could find a way to overcome it, but it would be tough. It is all about the thought that they are OUR team....if they go to Canada, that will change. Even if they mover to Niagara Falls, NY and became the Niagara Bills, at least they are still in our backyard.....not on Canadian soil. It may not appear to be that big a deal on the surface, but it changes things dramatically. It is hard to explain....just a feeling. Personally, I just hope for once Buffalo and NYS can get something right and keep the Bills here, in WNY. Going to be tough to get a new stadium here, but eventually, it will become a necessity. I need my BUFFALO Bills.........

As long as it's Niagara Falls, NY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it is Canada, no way.....but NY is more than OK with me! Means they stay!

I am not sure how good Stevie Johnson will ever be in this league, but I am a fan. He is a humble guy that loves his teammates. Take a look at what he did to honor the Byrd Man.

He threw 2 picks yesterday.......both to McKelvin. I guess that is considered a "slew."
