Great! Something positive.... His throwing motion does appear to be both more natural than Edwards' and seems to have a stronger arm, at least from the vids I've seen on him so far.

The lockout is coming, The lockout is coming!
Spiderweb replied to major's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
While NKOTB analogy sucked, they and the NFL all all about entertainment. That is common ground. They both are businesses as well (money...). The Beatles, much more so over time by far, werea Big Business as well as entertainers. -

Illegal immigrants living in AZ
Spiderweb replied to Keukasmallies's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
You state "libs" as in meaning those (If I'm considered to be one, I accept willing) who find the Arizona law unconstitutional, fine. Yet I don't find immigration laws currently on the books being upheld or enforced so I don't have any problem with Arizona making an effort on their own. But please, this illegal immigration problem is not a "liberal" creation anymore than it's a neocon one. GOP likes the cheap labor (GWB, ...Hey, where's the workers?" Do you recall that beauty?) and the Democrats pursue their support. Both parties bear the blame on this one.... -

CBO scores the Senate Health Bill
Spiderweb replied to Magox's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
The only thing that is pathetic is not to admit that we have a real health care problem, both in covering people (both with pre-existing conditions and those who simply cannot afford it), and the outrageous annual increases in cost. The plan we have now, a plan that has been reported on numerous times to be very similar to that of which both the Nixon and Regan administrations, simply may not accomplish cost reductions or containment desired. The "pathetic" fact is that our elected officials failed us. One party refused to take part, and the other basically tweaked previous administrations plans and passed it into law. I have been in the Import business for over 25 years and have extensive dealings with Canada and to a somewhat lesser degree, have had years of interactions with Great Britain, Germany, Japan, France, etc. Not once, in many discussions we've had at diners, lunches and personal moments, has a single one of my foreign colleagues or current/potential customers ever said they wished they had our system of health care. Not one single time. To them, health care reform for the USA is a no brainer and long overdue. Had health care form been successful back in 1939 (what I can find is the first serious attempt), we wouldn't be debating this today, nor would have uninsured or costs that are more than double that of our foreign neighbors. Yet then, as it still exists today, big business paid dearly to wreck anything that would infringe on it's unmitigated greed. Had long ago passed a real Heath Care plan, we could now be addressing the GOP penchant for accruing such massive year after year deficits that were put into play the past 30 years by the GOP's hero himself, the inventor of modern day deficit spending, Ronald Regan. We have dug such an abyss with the recession, poorly timed tax cuts by GWB that gave over 52% of it to the top 5% of income earners in this country, at a time we need more funds to pay for two wars begun under the GWB years. A country in which the top 1% in 1973 owned 8% of the USA to a now 23% today. Income shift? Socialism? Yes, but we gave it to the rich. Robin Hoods we aren't. And the illogical part of it all, millions of hard working folks, struggling wee to week have support all this, all while they were represented less and less by those they chose to elect. So get off your, "I take care of my own" pedestal. ....and if you think "business" holds all the answers, then you must have been sleeping while Enron raped, pillaged, and plundered your state before they imploded. -

I definitely get it and the original song sucked, really big. It always amazed me the airplay that piece of garbage got.

Gold Medal in the 1968 (surely OJ didn't run in the Olympics after he came to the Bill)s: USA won the 4 x 100 relay - Charles Green, Melvin Pender, Ronnie Ray Smith, Jim Hines (I don't see OJ there anywhere?)

Relax there KC, no sense in dredging up old piss poor disco tunes.....

Ditto, what's wrong with simply, "CJ Spiller, RB, Buffalo Bills"......jeez
-
I also believe it's a bad idea, mainly because of the physical wear and tear on the players. Removing two pre-season games, of which the starters are likely not to have played more than two quarters combined, isn't a balanced trade off. There is no good reason to extend the season other than for the sake of the Jerry Jones type owners. The greed of the NFL, owners, players, etc., simply knows no boundaries.

You forgot to mention "scatter shot arm".......great throw, bad throw, horrible throw, decent throw, bad throw, horrible throw, who the heck was he throwing to?....etc. etc. etc.

May I add my thanks as well. Great site!!!
-
I don't claim to have a clue who it might be, but I have to believe the Bills are still looking for another tackle, preferably one that can man the left side, even if only for a year or two. A trade or a camp/preseason cut is still out there.

Can't wait to see all the check downs
Spiderweb replied to HelloNewman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As it should be until the Bills can threaten the defense with a passing game. With Gailey preference to begin with the run, I'm sure he understands that even then, defenses have to be kept honest enough to play pass defense. -
Bill, we knew this choice wouldn't please you, but After the top two LTs were gone, Spiller was the right choice, and not for ticket sales. He has the talent, and speed, a rare combination. He can add another dimension to our offense, which is sorely needed. I would have liked a top Tackle, but it didn't happen. As you pointed out, the rest of the draft wa a bout getter bigger or stronger or both, which the whole team needed.
-
An "A" is a stretch, but then the real grade won't be known for a couple years from now so who knows. In overhauling the team, especially the defense, I too believe the Bills made solid progress with this years draft.
-
53 man rosters cannot be overhauled with 7 draft choices (sure we had 9, 2 - 6ths and 2 - 7ths), but this change to a 3-4 meant the Bills had to have some new meat. Once this direction was taken, it meant clearly that the focus would be here and with that, I cannot disagree.

Fox Sports Grades Bills Draft a "C"

Exactly.... That as well as the Seahawk's obviously not offering enough to make it happen. -
We're not going to be a good team in 2010
Spiderweb replied to Deep2Moulds46's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Franchise QB's are found only on the top 3 picks in the draft? Tell that to Montana, Brady, or even 1st round picks like Kelly and Marino? Romo went undrafted.... Utter failure to address O-line? The tackles they liked were already gone so Spiller to them was the obvious choice. Take a very talented guy, or pass on him for a "need" pick that you're not really sold on? Nix spoke about this after the draft. Again, Nix wasn't splashy enough for you it. Fine, we got it. I like what Nix said shortly after being hired as GM and that was that he drafted "football players", not workout warriors or the biggest "names". He watches tape. He and his scouts watch kids play. Personally, I would have gone Clausen in Rd2, but Nix and Gailey clearly were not sold on him. We'll see how it plays out though as it appears that we did get help for the DL, which we SORELY needed., so my initial disappointed as subsided a bit. Maybe they will be able to pull out a silk purse from the sows we believe we have at QB now. -
