Albany,n.y.

I am really sick & tired of reading Johm Wawrow's BS. They use his columns in the Albany Times Union & he always writes negative things about the Bills, cherry picking quotes & taking them out of their true context. If the Bills beat Houston 40-3, he'll find some PO'd linebacker who will be mad they lost the shutout use his quote & say the Bills D couldn't get the job done on Sunday. The guy has no credibility if you see his columns long enough. I wish his bosses would assign him to a team he likes, it would change him from a bitter vindictive reporter into a human being.

My parents are both in their 80s, and make a heck of a lot more sense than SilverNRed does. I find his assumption that people in their 80s don't quite have all their faculties both offensive & wrong. He's just an ignoramus who doesn't understand that there are plenty of 80+ year olds who were taught to cut people like him slack because they've lost & still have more IQ points than he's ever had.

Plenty of players scored low on the Wonderlic for a number of reasons. The most recent OL that I remember was Randy Thomas who was an honors student but only scored a 7 on the wonderlic because he blew off the test. Since I don't know why Peters scored a single digit Wonderlic, nor do most, it's too difficult to speculate. There are reasons that guys score poorly on Wondrelics that have nothing to do with intelligence, like Randy Thomas noted above. Leave Peters alone, nicknames made up by posters are usually annoying.

Steelers' long snapper 1999-2004. Mularkey and Clements must like the guy.

Bills | Schneck Signed Tue, 6 Sep 2005 14:45:03 -0700 Paul Sheehy, of ProStar Sports Agency, has confirmed to KFFL the Buffalo Bills have signed LS Mike Schneck (Steelers). Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

It's not "possible" for him to do anything until they get him off the practice squad & onto the 53 man roster

Wooooorrrrrkkkkk?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

The clock is ticking fast. Once Lindell plays, he's guaranteed $825,000 for the year. They better move if they want France because Baltimore & Tennessee are interested in him & Tennessee has some bum as their kicker. I don't know what's up with Baltimore wanting to bring France in for a tryout. Here's Tennessee's kicker Rob Bironas: http://www.titansonline.com/team/players/bio.php?PRKey=295

I guess if you went to Gillette Stadium with a Video player & a tape of last year's Patriots at Dolphins game, you could see the Patriots get upset.

Texans | Carr Looking to Rebound Mon, 5 Sep 2005 14:38:32 -0700 Megan Manfull, of the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans QB David Carr looked sharp in practice Monday, Sept. 5. He had a horrible preseason finale against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, posting a 0.0 passer rating. A lot of QBs looked like s**t in preseason. Maybe these young QBs (and some old ones too) really do need a complete gameplan instead of the do nothing to let the opponents see on film game plans of exhibition games. Roethlisberger, Pennington, and even Brett Favre had some rough outings this preseason.

The more playing time Flutie gets means the Pats are a weaker team. I hope Flutie starts 15 games.

We should win by 7, but Lindell will miss a FG and we'll only win by 4. Houston covers & all Bills' fans who bet will want to string up Lindell.

http://tiadaily.com/php-bin/news/showArticle.php?id=1026 I haven't seen this angle discussed so bluntly. I think the right wil like this better than the left.

Tryout? If he has 2 legs and can walk, he's better than Lindell

Explain why the belief that there is no hell is a foolish/dangerous way to go through life. Many religions don't believe in hell. As far as I know, there is no hell in Judiasm. Are you so f'd up that you can say Judiasm is a foolish/dangerous way to go through life?

Like him or hate him, Belichick was always the same guy. Every year Gregg was here he was a different guy. In reality, we had 3 coaches. Gregg the disciplinarian, Gregg the average coach, Gregg Mr. Nice Guy. How can the guy be a successful head coach when he doesn't have an established personality. If Gregg wants to be a successful head coach he's not going to be unless he learned a lot from his mistakes in Buffalo. I don't see where he's learned to manage a game on gameday since he's been fired. He might have learned not to hire Ronnie Vinklarek or Pat Ruhl as his OL coach. Then again, he might have been introduced to Ronnie Jones in the past 2 years.

If Reed can drop passes, why can't he drop some QBs? Relax. We can move either a LB (Posey) or DT (Bannan, Sape) there if needed. Plus, one or both of the DEs (Ritzmann, Gause) will be on the practice squad.

Yep, Wilson was class of 2004 & was in Detroit's camp. He was on the Bills practice squad last year from 10/18/04 through the rest of the season.

Jared Lorenzen, the 300 lb QB made the Giants as the 3rd stringer.

Todd France had a very good camp/preseason with the Tampa Bay Bucs TD-claim this guy off waivers & dump Lindell. France has knocked around camps before just missing. Last year he was with the Giants & made it past the 53 cut but was cut before the season when Coughlin wanted a more experienced kicker & signed Christie. France is an improvement on Lindell. (Merged thread, not my title)

I guess Tucker never fully recovered.

Dolphins | Feeley Slides to No. 3 Sat, 3 Sep 2005 12:22:19 -0700 Greg Bedard, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins QB A.J. Feeley has fallen to be the team's third quarterback on the depth chart, according to a source. Feeley could be waived by the end of the day if the team can't trade him. Feeley is due to make the minimum salary, $540,000 this season, but $3.5 million next season. Dolphins | Rosenfels Moves Up to No. 2 QB Sat, 3 Sep 2005 12:28:49 -0700 Greg Bedard, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins QB Sage Rosenfels has moved up the depth chart and he is now the team's No. 2 quarterback, according to a source. Dolphins | Frerotte Will be the Starter Sat, 3 Sep 2005 12:21:53 -0700 Greg Bedard, of the Palm Beach Post, reports Miami Dolphins QB Gus Frerotte will be the team's starting quarterback for week one of the regular season. Frerotte worked exclusively with the first team during practice Saturday, Sept. 3.

Richardson has to be the surest of cuts. The reason I think Gause & Ritzmann both make it is because Bannan can be used as a G so they can afford keeping Bannan for 2 positions & cutting an extra olineman rather than having to cut either Gause or Ritzmann.

If he makes it to opening day, we're stuck with him all season. Here are some rules I cut & pasted: Veterans with four years of experience on the roster for the first game are guaranteed their salary for the rest of the season. It's a benefit that players are eligible for just once in their careers. If signed after the first contest, a veteran is entitled to the initial 25 percent of his salary if released, according to an NFL team's salary cap consultant. After the eighth game, the termination pay is one week's salary, up to $20,000. Those factors make it harder for a club with injury problems to pick up a veteran as a short-term fill-in. This is why we must cut Lindell before opening day to realize any savings. Once we keep him & his foot touches a ball on 9/11 he's ours for the season. I still believe he's too overpriced to be here on opening day, but if he is you'll be right about the rest.

It all depends on the leg strength of the FG kicker. If he kicks short, I wouldn't be surprised if we switch to Moorman for KO's. That would depend on whether Moorman tells them that it took too much out of him when he did KOs in 2001. If it did, then we could cut one of the last to make it guys & get a KO specialist. Obviously the on side kick game has to start over-but hopefully we won't feel the need to do one for a few weeks.
