BY george I think thats it. The ICON thats always in the left hand corner that shows up after a play and says rewind? How do you turn it off do tell.

Im new to the XBOX 360 way of playing But for me it is as well I seem to throw atlest 1 more INT then TD. The way their picked off really pisses me off. I have space to get the ball to the player and the defender looks like hes going a different way then bam he has the ball running it back.

I will have to look at that one. Didnt think of it until you posted it. Though i think the point i was making is the numbers retired it should be given out at all. Ill try that tonigh though when i get home. Still getting used to the XBOX 360 version a long time PS2 player but they havent really upgraded theres the last 3 years so i went to the XBOX 360 side.

I keep reading and reading how everyone feels that DL should be our first pick in the draft its my strong belief its not going to happen. We have Kelsay and Schoebel Stroud and Williams Though we have not had a very succesful attempts at rushing the passer to produce sacks we have been better at stopping the run which was the biggest problem we had the year before that and we didnt draft a DL in the first round then either now did we no we traded for Stroud USING OUR 5th rd pick. The Bills last 2 DL guys drafted in the first Round-BUSTS so far. Schoebel is a 2nd rd draftee and the best our line has had since the departure of Smith and Wiley. The have the prospect of taking one of the Best TE to come in the first round and there is also the strong possibility of OL or a LB even. I see these three right now as of this day and time as our 3 biggest needs and best option of the first round pick. DE/DL can wait until round 2-4. BEcuase whom ever we draft is only going to be groomed for next year or the year after that depending on if they let kelsay go next year or the end of his contract. I could see them drafting this guy in the 2nd round Matt Shaughnessy- hard working, high motor guy that can get into the backfield and disrupt plays also would take a year or two to be a starter in the NFL- this is the type of guy that our coaching would love Situational and trainable. If your going to disagree with me come up with a better excuse then we need a passrusher- Kelsay and schoebel are not going anywhere this year and Fewell has come out publically to say that we are probably looking at a situational guy. We dont waste first round picks on situational guys we select first round picks to START!!!!! IE OL/TE/LB

I was playing my madden 09 on xbox 360 outside of the fact i cannot challenge plays i brought in some of the players we have signed this year to get a feel for fantasy things that could be a reality. I picked up Fitzpatrick and I didnt notice until TRENT went down with an injury in game 4 go figure but anyway I see the back of his Jersey on my screen and say to myself WHO THE HELL IS WEARING #12 and it was Fitzpatrick my first thought was where is the qaulity of the game when your bringing in retired numbers and then my next thought was does this mean that Fitzpatrick is our next JIM KELLY. I know its a game but hell I just had to draw some conclusion. Anyone else notice quirks in theres?

Thats what im wondering we signed the unexpected and have gotten nowwhere with the few we might have expected. Are the still working on TOs contract I thought he was already signed or are the working on marketing now instead of completing the team.

Especially since the Bengal fans said that FITZY has a noodle arm and cant throw 5 yards in front of him, oops maybe they were referring to trent nope definately FITZ.

I have been trolling this website since FRIDAY day in and DAY out yes we got Terrell OWEN, Signed FITZ, Hangartner, and Florence. But what about the LBS that came through JUNE, Keiaho including one of our own Crowell, Whats going on with simmons, Any news on other prospective visits. Arewe going after a TE via FA or Draft. Wheres the LG coming in to play afterall we let go of dockery with no replacement (or did we?) Any substansiated Trade rumors out there. Enough of the TO Talk wheres the rest of the team coming into play??????????????

The real question is not does he have the arm strength to be successful in this leaugue but does he have the arm strength to get it done in nov/dec and possibily January here in Buffalo/NY/NE type weather. Everyone has to see the way the ball floats compared to his competition in the same conditions.

AHH I would agree with you except for the fact you have to have a strong arm to throw the ball in the swirling winds of Ralph wilson stadium in Buffalo NY. Have you seen how his ball just floats in the winds compared to his opponents in the same conditions.

http://walterfootball.com/draft2007QB.php A link I could fine and the site said he threw the worse pass he ever saw.

So out of 10 guys he tied for 7th what does that tell you?

I really say we need to look into someone now!!!! I dont understand the envy of the first 6 games I watched and rewatched those game I saw nothing spectacular out of this gut that gave me the feeling we have our starting QB. Like DJ I have to see what happens this year believing waht i already believe to be true and I am very upset about the backup Because I thought they would bring in someone that could take the reigns not only when he went down but when he shows hes not capable anymore. Flame away all you want but he reminds me of Frank Reich- Career Back-up great for a couple of spot starts when your QB goes down and good off the bench but not good for a season.

http://www.phillyburbs.com/opinions/blog_p...on-horizon.html CLAYTON THEORIZED either a possible targeted trade in peters or boldin and possibly looking at orlando pace. Just a theory not any basis of facts in the rumor which makes it 100% rumor.

Let me put it this way, my view of DJ is this I actually thought he was doing an excellent Job his coach of the year and was really pulling for him to win. Flashforward to today and my view is he should have been fired last season 0-6 in the division is a fireable offense I dont care WHO the COACH is. He did get a repreive, hes got arguablyy one of the best WR in the game today. They finally got that Threat opposite LEE. That would mean a philosphy change for DJ no more playing not to lose and would certainly have to open up the offense (this is taking into consideration the FO shores up the OL with Quality players) A better offense also leads to a better defense. The less the defense is on the field the better they will play. We havent done anything yet to improve it but we havent done anthing to deminish it from last season either i think Florence and Greer are a wash. We could certainly use an improvement over Ellison. I know everyones goes on and on about DE/DL wants to see sacks like 2006. In my opinion if you look back at that roster its the coverage that allowed the sacks, Takeo spike, London fletcher, Nate clements all solid cover guys. The Tampa 2 is suppose to have 4 rushing the passer against 5 guys and the Coverage is suppose to hold up long enogh to get the pressure. For those of you who THinks MCgee is great this is an area he truly lacks in he is getting a liitle better but gets burned more often than not . IF DJ can change his philosphy I can alter my view of him. IF he cant Im looking forward to a New Head Coach/GM- COWER anyone?

Offensively most definately Definsively Brian Urlacher(sp) has to be the best

So we have finally acquired the possession receiver we so desperately needed. We have our Back up QB, and our Nickel Back and Starting C. What do we have left and where should we get it? 1)Starting LG- TRADE 2)Starting either MLB or LOLB( depending on the talent & what they want to do with POZ) FA 3)Starting FS or Safety- FA 4)Starting TE- Draft or ( trade if its the right value and fit) 5)Starting or Back up DT ( hard to tell i would say starting but the team might not think so)- FA or TRADE 6)Starting or Back up DE ( sound more like a back up to groom for starting when they used the word situational)-Draft 7)Back Up C- Draft 8)Back up LB- Draft 9)Back up RB- Draft or FA I would draft over FA I have 1 trade LG I have 3 FA signings left LB/S/DL I have 5 Drafted Then of courese there is always the slim posibility of finding a nice undrafted FA after the draft How do you see the rest of the off season needs and where they should be taken FA/TRADE/Draft keep in Mind the level of talent you want to replace them eith and the feasibility of obtaining that talent and in which pool is more feasible to obtain it.

Thats right we wemt from 9-7 missing the playoffs by one game to 5-11 bEcause TD felt a rookie QB whp spent 3/4 of the off season receoverin from an injury. Yeah TD was taking us far

Based on everyone being healthy with the Addition of TO which makes the passing game better than it ever was make no mistake there as well as also making our running game instantly better as well. The ten teams i see us beating now are 2 against miami, 2 against the Jets, houston, TB, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Carolina, Cleveland, and I also see us taken 1 from the PATS which equals 11. Now that is based on everyone being healthu through out the season. I just dont understand your tone of your post, Granted I was not an Advocate of TO coming here but I do recgonize hes one of the BEST revivers in this leaugue and match him opposite of the Best deep threat of the Leaugue compounded with our double head monster of RBS and Trents favorite receiver Josh Reed and you have a diaster for opposin DC's to try to figure what they are going to do Take out TO, Take out LEE, Stop the RUN it gets me excited about it. I dont care what you here about his past relationships. TO has had GREAT first years with all of his teams and a great 2 years with dallas. Minimal distraction it wasnt until wade came to town it all got messed up and I can see it being wades fault look how he hanlded the RJ flutie situation. I beleive DJ is better equipped to handle the situation and not to mention TO is playing for a contract expect the best out of him this year and be happy this team has finally adressed the WR problem we have had since the depature of moulds.

I think he is a great hep this year and gives us our TRUE #1 receiver that we have been missing. He is going to be the cog that our offense was missing. He will not be traded this season. However, as another poster note he could be franchised and traded next season if he turns into too much of a problem but if he helps us succeed I dont see him going anywhere.

On espn sporstcenter they had a discussion with Lee evans and one of the questions was who is the #1 receiver now that TO is on the tema and he said "id like to think im the #1 receiver... We should compliment each other" Also asked if he and trent ever got into it and how Trent handled it to get and idea of hoe Trent will deal with TO Lee avoided any exmples and said Trent is a mild manner guy and he from whet hes hear 3rd hand is excited to have him. How will these two coexist remains the question.

Reading alot and thinking alot I manage to come up with this STRANGE connection. The last time this team made the playoffs WADE PHILLIPS was our head coach. The last time we made the SUPERBOWL we Played against DALLAS COWBOYS. WADE PHILLIPS is the head coach of the DALLAS COWBOYS which is the team that released the Star Reciever Terrell Owens and gave the BUFFALO BILLS the chance to sign him. In doing so the feelings of the fans have gone from doom and gloom to how far are we going to go. Could this be a sign of things to come. I dont know but I sure like the odds now. So lets complete the roster and have a great draft and hopefully this is s ign of SUPER things to come

belichek knew drews tendacies now he has to figure how to stop our offense. This could be the year we take one from them without the help of milloy!

JOSH REED is on your we can keep list. huh? Hes Trents favorite receiver. Im not sold on Hardy and hes injured he would be my first pick to go but they wouldnt even have to do that they can IR him for the year since there is no gaurantee he wll be ready for the season. Other than that if your looking to save money you trade Roscoe a 4 mil guy but a great PR guy. Then it would have to be justin Jenkins as the odd man out because the other three are too valuable and Steve Johnosn has more upside then JJ in my opinion.

Not that I have new found optimism, there are still 2 variables DJ gameplan and Trents arm. With that said I cannot see teams double teaming both LEE and TO with Josh Reed catching everything underneath and an improved running game with those two threats alone. This should realistically mean our first winning season playoffs or not which gives DJ by default another year of his 3 year extentension. Depending how far we go this season and how TO fairs with the team you can also anticpate him back next year as well. Anyone else see this realistically happening?
