  1. To take it a step further, and frankly a bit more honestly, it's as if the initial post was made with some bias that ultimately twisted the facts. One thing Chan said a few weeks back was that there are two kinds of people, those that are humble, and those that will be (humbled). It simply seems that Fitz has understood this long ago and carries himself as such. Or....maybe the initial post was merely practice in becoming a politician.
  2. Sounds like a "run blitz"......hummmmm.
  3. Before you go anointing Wrotto the second coming, watch the game again. Wrotto, when facing Wake, had lots of help or the throws were of the quick variety. No one on the O-line did a decent job in the run game. He may become serviceable, but he still has a long way to go both in the pass game and the run game.
  4. Unless someone is as stupid as the Falcons were when they gave up big (#1?) for Price, we're far better off keeping Evans. If we could get a one or a two, maybe, but even then it's a crap shoot. I'd rather trade him (rare these days) for an existing player to help the defense. Since this isn't likely, we should stop with the Evans stuff. He's far more valauable than what we are likely going to get in return.
  5. Thank you. .It's getting really annoying reading posts stating this or that about David Nelson, TE today or for the future. The kid is 6"5" and 217 lbs with a lanky frame. Those are not TE numbers.
  6. The coach many of us "had to have" was Cowher. Shanny was intriguing but not a "had to have" guy.
  7. Just for the fun of it, I recently went over to a couple Browns boards and read where a number of Browns posters spoke of how often Ahtyba Rubin has gotten pushed around this year. While Wood looked good in his debut at center, lets not go over board. Lets see what he can do against the likes of Wilfork, etc.
  8. This is the area of the team that needs a talent infusion the most. 2-3 key additions would be extremely helpful, but still may not be enough. To date, Poz is the only LB of note (with Moats showing some promise) and Kyle Williams as the only keeper on the DL (Carrington still an unknown and Troup having some good moments but needs more of them).
  9. ....and that summation is dead on the money.
  10. Hey, welcome back Fez.. Hope you and yours had a great trip. Missed the snow and cold, eh?
  11. ...as in they've been able to lose regularly while trying....cheap shot.
  12. .....and I'd like to know why I now have bulging disks at L4 & L5. Age, activities, heredity (I suspect), all have a role.
  13. In part due to injury, and dare I say it, also in part to Nix and company trying to find players who can help the team, we seem to be very actively scouring our opponents practice squads. Whether we find any real players or not, I do like how Nix & company aren't simply sitting on their hands. D-line help is obviously needed. TE's have been an issue for a long time. LB's also are needed. We have a lot of holes, and if the Bills can hit on a couple PS signings, our draft may be able to be a bit more focused and productive.
  14. A few years back, against Miami, we won, but the entire game all he did was talk up Cleo Lemon, who sucked. Pissed me off and haven't liked hearing his voice since.....
  15. LT is where athletic, finesse players find themselves generally. RT is generally decent at PB, but stronger in the run game.
  16. Bolen is far from one of the originals. I agree with the Chan assessment. Not sold on Nix, but then how much do we really know about what he does. It may take a year of two more, but Chan is so unlike Humpty-Dumpty, and the rest that followed him during the past decade, that I finally see some hope, some plan........ Now, if only they can find a way to at least slow down the opponents run game......(which is way I still question how good Kyle Williams really is even though I like the guy a lot).
  17. Our two biggest, remaining disappointments will both be active today, with Troup's injury and Torbor to the IR. What wastes of roster sport they've been to date.
  18. As above....see: buffalobills.com seat cost...$320.00 per
  19. K-Dub sticks, as does Buff-Daddy. Rap/Hip Hop references just plain reek.
  20. Sayers simply did have the years (number of) that should be there to consider him one of the greatest all-time. Before he blew out his knee, he was fantastic though. Sanders was as explosive, and he was durable. Payton, Smith, Dickerson, Simpson, etc, were all great players, but the absolute best RB of all time is still the great Jim Brown. No one has ever been so thoroughly dominating as he was his entire career. Emmit was a shell of himself the last 3 years when he was chasing down the All-time yardage record. He also had the privilege of playing behind a huge offensive line in his heyday. Had Walter Payton played in Dallas during those same years as did Smith, I firmly believe his numbers would have exceeded Smith's considerably. #1 - Jim Brown #2 - Walter Payton #3 - Barry Sanders
  21. If I recall correctly, the NFL is guaranteeing or covering all the debt, only a portion. Can anyone elaborate further?
  22. With some, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Solid reply.
  23. And that's your basis used to start this unbelievable thread? Fitz has a brain, that can actually make a "read" in real time. He has confidence, courage, moxie, which are all things that are alien to Edwards. If Fitz had an arm and mechanics that didn't abandon him as frequently as they do, he very well could be a great QB. Alas, his accuracy is his Achilles heal, but to think for even a nanosecond that Edwards could be doing what Fitz is doing, maybe even better, is the most ridiculous thing posted here in years.
