  1. I don't see how that wasn't at least a penalty on the Eagles. They can try to quick kick illegally with no repurcussions?

     

    Why don't teams try this all the time then? If all they have to do is re-kick if they get caught. Seemed like BS to me.

  2. Are you speculating, or know this as fact? Sometimes it is hard to differentiate fact from fiction on this board.

     

     

    Why wouldn't he be playing DE in the 3-4 fronts, and why has it been reported that he is practicing at OLB?

     

    I will have to watch Carrington closer this week.

     

    Do you watch the games? The Bills are almost never in a 3-4 front. It's always 4 guys with a hand on the ground.

  3. Of course they don't play on paper, but I'd rather get my younger players experience in real games against teams like the Bengals as opposed to the Patriots, Jets, et. al.

     

    Until they create a best hands statistic, I'll go by that I see.... and by what the coaches say. During preseason, Chan said something to the effect of "He (naaman) is not the biggest or fastest, but he sure does have great hands".

     

    Why all the Naaman hate Nucci?

     

    News flash...all the Bills' receivers are young. Why mess with a good thing and force players into the lineup? The guys making plays and working hard are in there for a reason, and not because they are from the area.

  4. I've learned a very valuable lesson, and I hope that I can keep learning it.

     

     

     

     

     

    The Bucs and Dolphins were near here, and I started watching them, along with the Bills. During the "great collapse" of 2008, I turned my back on the team for good. I figured that Ralph was going to move the team, anyway, or someone would once he died. I didn't see the Bills doing anything more as an organization ever again, until such move was complete. So, I started pulling for my Florida teams

     

     

     

    You were pulling for the Dolphins? What a douche!

  5. I think we're going to have a lot of safeties playing Sunday. It makes a huge difference that we're playing the Bengals with a rookie QB, not a lot of stud receivers, and without Benson. I wouldn't be surprised to see Byrd playing in the slot or on the outside in some or most formations as a CB instead of FS. Bryan Scott will get a lot of work. We will try to blitz more I imagine and get a pass rush (I really do think we were playing contain as a matter of principle in the first three games). Rogers may play a bit but I think it will be spotty.

     

    Who knows, maybe they have a lot of confidence in him. But an undersized, rookie 7th round CB who was hurt half of pre-season and didn't practice much is downright scary. We need either Williams or McGee back in two weeks when we have to cover DeSean Jackson and Macklin, etc. though.

     

    Benson is appealing his suspension and the decision hasn't been handed down yet, so he may be available for the Bengals. I saw they worked out Clinton Portis today...probably insurance should the league deny Benson's appeal.

    McGee should be back sooner than Williams, but who knows with hamstrings...Williams seemed to be getting quite a bit of playing time before he went out, not only on defense but on special teams as well.

  6. 17. Bill Belichick and Tom Brady left the game without shaking any Bills players' hands.

     

    I don't know about Brady, but Belichick briefly shook Merriman's hand right after the game. So that is incorrect.

     

     

    It's hard to add to your list astro, you did such a great job!

    BUFFALOOOOOOOOO!!!!

  7. Are you kidding me? Husband and I are die-hard Bills fans, married 20 years. But if some tool did something like, come to my mother's funeral or my sister's wedding with earbuds & an iPhone trying to watch the Bills game, I would ask said tool to be escorted out. You can be a fan but -- especially today with DVRs, online access, etc. -- not participate in today's constant erosion of good manners and good taste.

     

    It doesn't matter if the bride is a castrating B word from hell -- I wouldn't have a wedding on Sunday during football season either -- but if you accepted the invitation, you have to live with your social commitment.

     

    Or just be a dick and watch TV in church. And be known as That Guy. (As BMWR100RT said earlier.)

     

    Well said.

  8. Please stop this nonsense and immediately pay homage to Simon's irrefutable point that Lee Evans is such a high-impact player that he has fundamentally altered the PIT-BAL matchup, one of the NFL's fiercest ongoing division rivalries, by his mere presence on the field. This is a fact and if you dare to believe otherwise, you know little about football.

    HAHAHAHAHA!
