Mile High

Agreed Mc Nair to me was the missing piece of this Baltimore puzzle. He has to not take on defenders and try to run them over. He like Manning has the ability to see the whole field and thread the needle whenever needed. Along with the Ravens defense and a healthy Jamal Lewis they will contend in the end. Count on that I agree with Dibs.

Bengals=Dolphins Norte

For some reason I laughed out loud at this.

Nope.

I really don't think our line looked too bad yesterday. Except for Gandy on a couple plays we looked much improved. Am I the only one who thinks this?

My brother is a fire figher and emt in Buffalo. His daughter (my niece) just left for Iraq in the 82nd airbourne last week. God bless them and all that serve our country.

Merriman will be the next LT or Derrick Thomas. Dude can pass rush like no other line backer I've seen of late. He is by far going to be one of the best d players in this league for a long time. Did anyone see him blow up Gallery? Either the Raiders oline looks horrendous or the Chargers d is just that good. Anyone wanna predict how many sacks Merriman has this year? I say 20+. On a side note who is the full time Monday nite crew now? Please tell me it's not Thiesman and Cornheiser with Torrico (butchered spelling). Vermeil and Jaws with whoever the other dude is are way better. It should defineately be them if it's not.

Oh Boy.

And trades! LOL! Funny stuff man.

Gates signed with Tampa's practice squad.

NICE!

Deep threat? Where was it with all the speed we have now? I kept waiting for the home run.

Can you guys imagine if Brewski was playing? OMG! Bad enough watching Seau celebrate like he won the fuggin lottery after diving on a pile.

And he played with Tom Brady at Michigan. Anyone else sigh when Simms said that after he scored the touchdown?

Why not bring back the original Blue and Gold? Seriously, these guys had a chance to bring back the most classic looking uniform (imo) in Buffalo sports history. Why settle for this uniform? Am I in the minority here if I say I would rather keep the current uniforms than switch to this? I mean they aren't completely terrible but in my eyes they aren't as nice as the black and red. I'm not going to say I hate them until I actually see the players sporting them. For now just ---> Blah.

And the NFL is finally here. To bring in the Miami week right I just changed my avatar in honor of our rivalry. Hope you guys like it as much as me. Anyway since everyone here on the board knows that I do the power rankings. Where do you think the "experts" will put us this week? I'm saying in the 18-25 range, which isn't bad consicering that most of these chodos had us 30th in most of the preseason rankings. Bring on Miami and bring on Culpepper!

Fair enough.

I would have to agree with that. Hope you enjoyed the last 5+ years, it's nearly over.

That about sums it up.

OC, Reading your signature.... Sean Salisbury really said that on Live?

Ya know I hope he does. The thing with this game is we know nothing, really about our team. Except for a few preseason games and the players we had last year, there are a ton of questions that need to be answered.

Overall I will be looking at the lines. I'm more concerend about the offensive line than the defensive. Fowler had a good camp and a good preseason so I'm interested how his calls on the line are going to fair against the Pats dline. Reyes looks like a definate upgrade over Anderson. I think Peters and Gandy will be fine but Vallerial seems to have health issues of late and looks to be a concern. Then JPL... We are all praying to the man himself that this kid has indeed matured with this past offseason. Will the departure of Moulds haunt the Bills more than we think? Lee looks great but is he double team great the way Moulds once was? The new cover 2 should be interesting as well. How will our players (that were there before) adapt to it? And will the dline be an upgrade from what we had in Buffalo during the 2005 season?

Alright then...
