dollars 2 donuts

OK, Glass, and forgive me for hijacking my own thread, b/c I didn't realize until I started writing the names down, but even without him...I think I like this Defense. Am I nuts?

Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson, Homer Simpson. Any questions?

I don't want to debate the merits of whether he does or doesn't should or shouldn't comeback, or whether he is jerking the team around or has simply had enough. My question is, assuming he does comeback how does he help the team at this stage? If he is projected as an OLB he comes in at the end of July, 5 weeks away from the first game, with no experience at the position and no time with his teammates. Kind of a double whammy that is hard to overcome. Honestly, I would appreciate it if someone can give legitimate reasons on how this wouldn't be a problem. However, if he could get in and make a difference, i gotta tell ya, when I think about our LBs, Poz, Mitchell, Davis, Maybin and Schoebel, I kind of feel pretty good. When you throw in our #2 ranked DBs of McKelvin, McGee, Byrd, Wilson, Florence, Corner, Youboty and our DL of Williams, Troup, Edwards, Stroud and Carrington, I just plain don't feel too bad about this defense. Sure it will take its lumps, but I like the base that we are building.

Stucky, honestly I have had them both. Gold Star - definitely meatier and more chilier. Skyline, for people who don't know, is more like a sauce. As of the last few years you can get Skyline at Wegman's up here. A can of Skyline, some diced onions, shredded cheddert cheese, tibasco sauce, all over pasta (i think that is a three or four way)...you got yourself a party, son!! Additionally, yeah, I think unless he really breaks out that is the only way he makes the active roster.

Not to ignore Stucky's post, but just an update from my post above: Naaman was 4th in the nation in receptions (104) and 4th in the Nation in yards (1402) in 2008. http://espn.go.com/college-football/statis...Yards/year/2008 BTW, Starks was 17th in the Nation in rushing (1333 yds).

Going off of memory, PTR I think 103 grabs, 16 TDs and third in the nation in receptions in 2008. Honestly, i could be wrong, but I don't think I am off by that much.

My wife is going to be dressed as a Jill, so, um, yeah! ...I'm glad she doesn't come to this Board. EDIT: I just realized that this post is one of the first (if not the first) time I referred to her as my wife. So...congrats TSW!

The most impressive stat of all? Jerrod Johnson's "...6,000 years as the Aggies starter."

I'M NOT EVEN SURE, JIM, BUT I'M GONNA FIND OUT IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!

Yeah, Fluff, I won't deny that, and I (and it appears PTR, as well) think he is good practice practice squad material for this year, but I still think he has nice NFL upswing.

My God, Stucky, be careful. You were ALMOST cynical in that post. Please note when you are up in Buffalo we will have corn hole and Skyline Chili ready and waiting for you!

You know my song with him, PTR: I love this guy and his potential but our opinion has to be a bit muted b/c for some reason some guys on this Board really get pissed off when you stick up of this kid. ...especially those who have never really seen him play and discount him due to the Conference he played in...while ignoring the smaller Conferences our higher draft picks played in.

I'm glad I came in here because, well, this is Mr. Happy Fun Thread. With a little relaxation and the satisfaction of a great submarine sandwich maybe you won't read about me tomorrow climbing to the top of Campus building, picking of co-eds in the quad while screaming, "What's the frequency Kenneth!", while waiting for the oncoming Rapture. Serenity now...Serenity now.

Congratulations to the guys over at Madden School for being Masters of the Obvious. http://www.madden-school.com/madden-11-buffalo-bills/ EDIT: although they do give a good recommendation.

Orders made, now just keeping my fingers crossed.

That is a story I have heard way too much over the years and it is disturbing. I don't care how drunk you get, that is not funny at all. On the other side of a sorry like that, though, I had a friend who got thrown out of the game for public urination in the stands, the problem was though that he didn't do it. This is the type of guy who picks up wrappers at a stadium so as not to leave a mess behind, and doesn't like drinking during the game b/c he thinks it effects the experience. The real culprits fingered him, and he was by himself at the time, so no one to back him up. Talk about being made, he didn't return to the stadium for almost a decade.

Please don't shoot me about this, but last year our DBs were ranked second and picked off a number of passes, but: 1. Couldn't we have been ranked #2 partially due to how bad we were against the run; 2. Honest question - how good were we really as far as coverage with our DBs; 3. Finally, it could just be that the individual statistics for our starters just doesn't add up in Madden. Man-o-man is it tough being a fan of this game and of the Bills...Years spent waiting for them to be mediocre. The only glory years were Madden 05/ ESPN NFL 2k5 - you may not have liked the REAL team, but in the game you had rated players like Bledsoe, Moulds, Price, Henry, Willis M., Pat Williams, Sam Adams, Antoine Winfield, Nate Clements, Fletcher, from a gaming standpoint they were loaded.

I'll second RJ on this. I'll take Strock off the bench any day of the week, but especially Sunday.

sigh nothing there. Additionally, many on the board ordered from top market at DH gate...which doesn't exist there anymore.

Thank you, B-a-H! I greatly appreciate it my friend. So much so that if you don't like me abbreviating you name as I have now done in two threads, i will stop doing it.

Woop, there it is. http://maddennfl.easports.com/news.action?...RatingsReleased

Bagel is my best man, and just for that...he doesn't get one. ...You do look like Talley a little bit, though. Thanks guys!

I found one of the DH Gate threads. I am going to go through that looking for some opinions. However, still, any other opinions are welcome. http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/index.php?...replica+jerseys

JR, I am kicking myself right now. There were so many of these threads a few months ago and I am not sure I tagged one, or saved one of the links. I really hope some of the board members who ordered through those sites make it in here.

BB, I plan on putting their names of each of the jerseys and their dates of birth. If the companies can't do that, I'm going to do legendary bills, but have no two be the same. I thought I saved the links to the popular jersey distributors previously listed here, but I can't find it and my search has been unsuccessful, please I still need peoples opinions on their satisfaction with their purhase. BUT, your suggestion is not bad, my friend. Not bad at all.
