  1. And he's not officially a starter in 2015. Harvin is.
  2. Buffalo Bills PR @BuffaloBillsPR #NewFaces: The #Bills 1st regular season depth chart has just 2 offensive starters who started for the #Bills in '13. http://www.buffalobills.com/team/depth-chart.html That would be Eric Wood and Cordy Glenn for those of you keeping score at home.
  3. Somebody buy that man a drink.
  4. Like many, I was excited when they brought Rex in as HC, since that meant we'd very likely continue with the trend the last couple of years of outstanding defense, and perhaps even get better. Although the defense will be similar to what we had with Pettine, that defense had some definite weaknesses. Last year's defense with Schwartz was solid, but Rex's system is a bit different, putting more pressure on the DBs, so the results may not be the same. There's a lot of talk from the Bills that they are expecting great things from this defense, and they expect to be #1 overall. On the cusp of the season, I'm interested to hear if people think we'll actually improve compared to last year, or not. Obviously there are many different measures that could be used, but taking all of those measures into account, what is your sense of how the defense will perform this year? Personally, I expect some really good things, but I'm worried about our CBs not holding up in this system. I think the first quarter of the season may be less than stellar for the defense, but with improvement as the year goes on. I'm sure it's the cynic in me, and I don't have a lot of solid evidence to base this on, but I'm not really expecting a top 5 defense this year. I think they could be...but my concern about our DBs in general makes me doubt it.
  5. ...aaaand you guess it, we're #2 on the list: Pete Prisco says we're doomed because Tyrod sucks.
  6. Weather.com is saying high of 69 with 20% chance of showers.
  7. That was great. All I can say is, I am so glad we have Pegula and not Irsay.
  8. I remember that hit as well. One of the best hits I can recall, especially because it's Brady. The one I always wanted a good recording or picture of was the one from the 15-1 Super Bowl, when the Pats** were on their last, desperate drive with seconds left. Brady got absolutely hammered by somebody on the Giants...I'm surprised he didn't get the wind knocked out of him it was so solid.
  9. I know a lot of people don't like him for many reasons, but I think he's a good reporter. On the other hand, I'm very tired of his Twitter antics. He seems to enjoy baiting the trolls and engaging them in childish dialogue, and spends quite a bit of time doing it. It's tiresome.
  10. The best post of every offseason...
  11. I'll be there! I'll be the guy in the Dan Carpenter jersey. The only one, I imagine. Unless he gets cut. Then, maybe not.
  12. I can't wait for the Sullivan/Gleason article complaining about how the IK move was such a waste of time and effort.
  13. ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk Broncos cut quarterback Zac Dysert among others to get roster down to 79 wp.me/p14QSB-9Q0q
  14. Let's face it, we can't really afford to have our backup RB not play special teams. All the others do. But man, does this suck.
  15. Horrible day for him and for Bills fans. I so wanted to see Freddie in a playoff game at the Ralph. But I do understand the move. Aside from the fumble, of course, Bryce has looked really good this year. Sad day, though.
  16. Well, okay, maybe that's a bit much. But definitely stronger than Pittsburgh. I mean, they finished 11th in the league last year in yards allowed, and 2nd in the league in 3rd down percentage. Last year, they allowed only a single third-down conversion over a four game stretch, which is the longest in NFL history. I mean, that's not too bad.
  17. No pun intended, but if he's that good, that is a huge pickup for this defense.
  18. What # is he? I remember seeing a lot of Corbin Bryant in that game, seemed like he was playing like a man. I don't recall paying much attention to the other Bryant, though.
  19. It's almost a shame that PIT's defense is so horrid, because now our expectations from these QBs is so high it's bound to be a disappointment when the season starts and they have to play against a real defense. The Colts have a strong D and it's going to be a wakeup call once we no longer see big plays and TDs every drive. I would have preferred to see how these QBs respond under pressure against a good defense. That's how to separate them.
  20. Carucci agrees...he says don't be shocked if Cassel is the starter.
  21. Man, if there's one thing you can say about this, it's really !@#$ed with a lot of people's heads. This is kinda fun.
  22. Except for the fact that TT made a critical mistake and took a sack instead of throwing it away, which led directly to the missed FG.
  23. It's all about the rings. Unfortunately wedding rings, not Super Bowl rings.
