  1. Nix may simply be waiting to see round 2 of FA (camp cuts), to obtain a qualified short term fix to LT, that is unless of course, he feels Bell can be that guy.....
  2. .............and that, my friends, was his last good game.
  3. "Not so hot senior year", yeah, that's the line. Yet, in living in the Lousiville area and watching most of the Cardinals games Brohm's senior year, I'd have to say he still played well. He was over shadowed by a defense that couldn't stop a team of 80 year olds. Of note (wikipedia source): Brohm had an injury-free season in 2007, completing 308 of 473 passes for 4,024 yards for 30 touchdowns with 12 interceptions, giving him a QB Rating of 152. However, Louisville struggled and finished 6-6, failing to make a bowl game for the first time in 10 years.
  4. Where does one find info on who is signed and who hasn't for all teams? Seems like a lack of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd round info. My google attempts came up short. Shouldn't a batch of signings start soon? And if CJ Spiller holds out, it may be more due to those above him and below him not signing. Once the others begin to sign, the slotted nature of signings and for the size of the contract, is pretty much established. I hate hold outs. We need him in on time to get ready...
  5. You are both very, very sick.
  6. You clearly have underestimated Schobel as well as you're likely to have a rather low comprehension of the game. Schobel was not a dominate player, but he was a very good player.
  7. Outstanding find, thanks!!!!
  8. Couple points. --- You are just noticing this (re: Ice) --- We seen many poor performances from Edwards, yet only one from Brohm, in which he operated behind a makeshift O-line, and had only a third of the playbook available to him? Sorry, but that single game we saw Brohm play in (against Atlanta) isn't anywhere enough to make a legitimate evaluation of him.
  9. Folks, you all might wish to visit ESPN.COM and/or Twitter as Adam Schefter has stated that Crowder is not out for the season....
  10. If you're going to rebut a poster opinion of the biggest Bills bust, then give something to back that up. How about Al Cowlings, Perry Tuttle, Erik Flowers, Phil Dokes, etc., all were far worse......
  11. Wow, I can't believe how many have chimed in with "he's not that bad", with respect to his accuracy. I give you all that he can make a nice throw here and here, but sandwiched in between the good throws are some really poor ones (sometimes wide, often short and in the ground, etc). The poor throws outnumbered the good ones. ....and he does force passes and no excuses for poor protection, etc. For far too long we've made excuses for our QB's. Perform to the caliber required, or find a new job. Fitz is a semi-capable backup at best.
  12. Let's not get carried away here. Fitz does bring a some desired intangibles to the table, but he also made quite a few poor decisions on his throws last year. I recall him getting lucky and not being picked off more than I cared for. Also, when a QB makes one good throw, followed by two poor ones, he's shown he cannot be the guy. Consistency is very important and Fitz is anything but.
  13. Revis should be told, "your under contract and we expect you here. If you decide not to show, you will be fined." I haven't any issue with players negotiating new contracts or extensions when they have only a year left on their contracts, but if they have two or more years, the owners MUST have to fortitude to not pacify and over pay these overgrown children, such as Revis.
  14. That was the norm in 1973 (Fergie's rookie year). I believe he only averaged around 14 passes a game. It was OJ right, OJ left, Braxton up the middle, OJ out of the I, pitch to the right............
  15. While Jauron was a bad HC, yet we did have worse. Some that come to mind were Harvey Johnson, Hank Bullough, and I'm sure a few others may add one or more to this.
  16. I vote for the best possible candidate, whether that is Brohm or Edwards. Part of me would like to see what Brohm can do given the full offense package, which he did not get against Atlanta last year. I did not mention Fitz because his scatter shot accuracy drove me nuts last year. One good throw, two poor throws, one mediocre one, etc. I liiked his intangibles, but his arm, not at all. In watching Brohm in the preseason when he was with GB, and in our game against Atlanta last year, I do worry he may be an interception machine. While he appears to have touch, his out route throws do seem to lack the strength desired also. May the best QB win......AND be successful. We deserve it after all these years since JK.
  17. Character can be divided into segments, such as personal and profession (in this case football). Levy himself spoke of character but he did add he was speaking more of professional/football character than personal. In some cases, some of these scumbags (Rothlisberger, etc) actually put forth tremendous effort in their profession only to be complete turds personally (off the field). Their profession is what gives them their direction. Most of these guys have been stars (high school, college) and have been fairly well pampered and unfortunately, for the sake of their talent, a blind eye was given to their digressions. This is the one area of Goodell's reign that I like, and that's that there's finally a standard of conduct being applied to these guys. In some ways, Goodell could be much tougher, but it's start.
  18. While Butler may have some supporters here, he too was a problem. Just look at the Bills team Polian had assembled, and Butler only oversaw it's demise. He never came close to reloading the Bills to continue to be a quality team. Once Bruce, Andre, and Thurman moved on, we've basically been a train wreck since.
  19. Maybe I was lucky, but I have had four mortgages with Wells Fargo. Two were for new home purchases, and two re-fi's. Not a single one took more than a month to close on.
  20. A matter of pessimism? I thought it's a pragmatic evaluation of the state of the Bills and not having a playoff team since the 1999 season ended.
  21. Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafftti Alice In Chains - Dirt Metallica - Black Beatles - Abbey Road Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street I guess I'm somewhat stuck in a time warp...... Yet, this is impossible, I'd be changing them all the Time.
  22. Turns lemons into lemonade? Just makes plays? I guess I've missed them. 12 catches over two years, with only two of them last year. How many "plays" could he have made?
  23. Actually, the Bills began their slide during Levy's last few years. Our once dominate offensive line was rendered impotent with the likes of Fina (adequate), Crofts (horrible), Ziegler (poor), Ostroski (barely adequate Guard, poor tackle), etc....... Our stars were aging (Kelly, Smith, Thomas, Reed) and frankly, the cupboard ran bare trying to find others able to step in and play. I used to curse Levy for not giving the O-Line the attention it needed. This characteristic unfortunately cared over into the next regimes and to this very day. Last years pick of Wood and Levitre was actually a good step in the right direction though.
  24. There will always be the exception. Good to hear old Jack is still sharp, although I haven't followed the NBA in a long long time now. Say, is John Hummer still playing? (Good that bum was pitiful ...)
