  1. The bit shows just how much these guys know about the teams. Liam's mom had a better grasp on the situation when she predicted 8-8.

     

    If you look at the Bills' schedule, even with last year's team, I'd say they would win 7 games (both Dols, Oakland, Cincy, Denver, Tennessee, and Washington, and none of those teams improved themselves, if not got worse). With the improvements on the Bills, they should win an additional 2-3 games (KC, SD, Jets or Giants).

  2. There are more right leaning supreme court judges than left leaning ones. Unless I misunderstood you, what the hell are you talking about???

    Yep, more right-leaning judges. And they don't want to be the ones to set a (bad) precedent by saying that the government forcing people to buy something (and in this case, a private product, which is even worse) is right and/or Constitutional.

  3. Smith is a thoroughbred. I've seen his throws, and while they're not perfect spirals, they have good velocity, and a nice arc trajectory. Not perfect. But not ducks. As far as running, he has an almost seamless burst and acceleration. Like a Porsche. You have to literally stand in front of him to bring him down. DB's can't catch him. One step and he's GONE. I think the Fitz-huggers may be getting a little scared of his ability.

    No he throws ducks and his throws don't have good velocity. I love Brad Smith but lets not get confused here, he's not going to replace Fitz as the starter or even Thigpen as the back up.

    Looks like we have a difference of opinion here. But I think that one thing that's for certain is Fitz is in no danger of losing his job to Smith.

  4. There was a kickoff return for a TD last night.

    Look on the bright side--now Lindell will have a few touchbacks.

    Or on the flip side, with coverage players 5 yards closer, you kick it high and close to the goal line, and pin them back.

  5. Go see him throw.

     

     

    Anyway this team neds tyo stick to a goal of improving on the fundamentals of offense, not thinking up cool running plays for Brad Smith. His value to the Jets came almost exclusively as a kick returner--that's where almost all of his "touches" came.

     

    If Smith is behind center and Fitz is lined up in the slot, I think the opposing defense has a pretty good idea of what's coming, doc.

    In the only practice I saw, the first one, Smith wasn't allowed to participate. How many practices have you been to, off of which you're basing your opinion? Remember that he just joined the team 2 weeks ago today, and wasn't allowed to practice until a week ago, today.

     

    And if Smith lines up behind center and Fitz goes to the slot, it's an obvious passing play, right? ;)

  6. I'll be surprised if we run it much at all this year. Just doesn't seem to fit in with Coach Gailey's offensive philosophy. We did run it with Fred a few times in the first couple of games last year. took Fitz out and took it to them. Seemed to be somewhat successful (4 yards and a cloud of dust). But after that we never ran it again. Coaches are also real nervous about pulling their QB and having him "get out rhythm".

    :blink:

     

    Does Kordell "Slash" Stewart ring any bells?

  7. Exactly. I was less than thrilled when the Bills kept trying to run it last year, mainly because they really didn't have the personnel for it. With smith (a former QB), and a guy that has already proven he can run the wild cat very effectively, I believe the Bills can use it as a successful weapon. Smith torched us last year, just with his feet.

     

    Obviously coaching, and guys like Spiller will have contribute their parts, but on a team with O-line questions...This could help.

     

    I also think the Bills will use Smith plenty at WR, meaning it could be hard for teams to change packages to counter that formation.

    What I think they'll do is have him play quite a few snaps, but starting in the backfield, and then motioning to the slot, or QB with Fitz going to the slot, taking a handoff, and maybe even lead-blocking. That way the defense has no idea what's coming.

  8. Strong reaction???? It is simply a response that you continue to respond to. Now if you want to see a strong response from me bring up the topic of our clown owner. That would elict a level of ferocity that would have you quaking. :devil:

    That you responded at all is curious. That you said "you made that up" is why I said "strong reaction."

    I dont remember there being a strong interest in Albert...

    You don't rember it because it never happened. :thumbsup:

    Albert was drafted in 2008, was the 15th overall pick, and the 3rd OT taken. Turbosrrgood just joined the board this year.

  9. It is difficult to remember a "fictitious something" that never happened. Your memory is in a a creative mode. Being creative doesn't necessarily equate with being factual. :devil:

    It's the truth, John. But I don't understand the strong reaction by you even if it didn't happen. What gives?
