  1. 11) Gailey is an offensive genius. It baffles me that he wasn't a long time NFL head coach. It's even a little freaky, but so is this entire team. It's as if I still, at 3-0, don't know exactly how to rate them. The pass rush is a big concern, but there is something really good about this football team that it's hard to put into words. At the risk of sounding cliche, this team plays with heart. Heart and determination that I'm not sure if I've ever seen before from any Buffalo Bills football team, and that's quite the compliment.

     

    This. It's unbelievable that as recently as early last season, we had maybe the worst and most boring offense in the league with Lynch, Evans and Edwards. Now Gailey has put the right people in place and the Bills have possibly the most exciting and dynamic offense. Fantastic job not only with personnel but with schemes and play calling.

  2. The Bills should do something to reward Fred more but he will NEVER get from them what he thinks he's worth. It's definitely his age working against him. Also, look at Chris Johnson and DeAngelo Williams. They just got huge contracts and they are both struggling badly. Javon Ringer and James Stewart are the better RB's on their respective teams right now. RB is that one position where a guy can come out of nowhere and be good.

  3. With the combination of the new blue uniforms, the new field and the sunny skies in WNY yesterday those things really pop on HD Tv...My Wife was even impressed by how "pretty" it looked up there in Orchard Park. Cant wait to get back for the Bills/Eagles game next month!

     

    I'm with you. Love that shade of blue and the white helmets just stand out this year. The colors on the field in the Bills game yesterday were so vibrant compared to other games when i flipped around and watched Redzone.

  4. Fitz's stats over the last 15 games played:

     

    300/512 [58.5%] 3472 yds 30 TDs 16 INTs

     

    Jim Kelly's best season as a Bill - 1991 - 15 games played:

     

    304/474 [64.1%] 3844 yds 33 TDs 17 INTs

     

     

    If we drafted a QB #1 and he had these stats we'd be dancing jig that we found our new "franchise guy." Fitz is darn close to Kelly's best year as a Bill right now. But in the name of full disclosure I have to admit that I did not think Fitz would be this good when he took over last year. I was wrong.

    Nice stats. I knew Fitz was a helluva lot better than Edwards and should've been starting last years opener vs Miami. It's great to know Fitz is in his prime and he could play at this level for another several years. This is our Gannon or Warner. There's absolutely no way a Rook could do what he has done. It took a Harvard guy even a few years to be able to read a defense like this. QB'ing at this level is maybe the hardest thing to do in all of sports.

  5. I like his running on the 3rd and shorts. Every one of the opposing players knows he's gonna run and he still gets it. Why? because the execution is perfect and Smith has the vision and can tap dance his way through the slightest opening. Take a fast guy like Spiller and he would get no gain or take a loss on similar plays.

  6. Is Freddie the best over-30 RB ever? I mean wow, its not like he has the 1985 HOGS blocking for him either. I don't recall Emmitt's stats after 30 yrs old but I'm sure Fred must be close behind.

    I agree, Fred should get paid but he's on the wrong side of the age thing. Being an UDFA just kills your earnings potential. He's never gonna get the money to equal his level of play unfortunately.

  7. There were a few of us last summer, screaming and typing everywhere that Fitz needed to start vs. Miami in the 2010 opener. HE had already proven himself from the season before imo. Of course Trent got the nod and it was a big thud. I guess in hindsight, the Bills may not have gotten Dareus if things had gone differently. It's great to have so many Bills fan sin Fitz's corner now.

  8. When you watch Brad Smith convert those 3rd and short plays, the old Lombardi saying it true. The opponent may know he is running up the middle 99% of the time, but if the players execute it's still not stoppable. Don't short change Smith either...he is great at dancing through the slightest crease to convert. You know a guy like CJ would get stuffed for no gain if he tried that.

  9. How do you know this? They were not part of the uniform presentation.

     

    The blue pants were made and are part of the Bills official uniform template. I can't say who but multiple people "inside" have seen them and they were delivered to the team. The Bills have chosen not to wear them this year and are basically acting mum on their existence at all. I agree that it eleiminates the chance of players wanting to wear the blue/blue look. Management just needs to tell the players what to wear anyway. Our last uni's were never intended to be worn blue/blue. My reason for starting the thread is more of a hopeful thing. I wish they would bust them out as a surprise.

  10. By that I mean the Terps unveiled 32 combos of uniforms prior to the season then busted out their "pride" uniforms on gameday (that no one had seen before). We KNOW the Bills have blue pants sitting on their shelves. Inside sources have confirmed it. Just wondering if they would bust them out for Sept. 11th? That would make a great visual at Arrowhead with blue vs red.

  11. I really like the guy. He's still maturing as a player - he's barely been a starter and I truly believe he has not yet hit his ceiling. Really excited to see what he does in his second year in the offense. I just hope that shaky o-line play and young WRs don't derail his progress. And he really, really, really needs to protect the ball better this year.

     

    HE also needs to protect himself better. Took too many bone-jarring hits last year on scrambles for minimal yardage. I appreciate him not taking the sacks but he has to slide more and protect himself. Taking on LB's worked while he was a backup and had to prove himself but now that the team depends on him, he should slide.
