  1. Amazing how after the second preseason game we were doing pretty well injury-wise. Damn if we don't just have some **** luck.
  2. So much for Butler looking decent.
  3. This right here. In fact, I think pressures are what made the D look so good in the first two preseason games.
  4. He's an unrestricted free agent. He can sign with anyone who will have him, full team or practice squad.
  5. I'm pretty sure EJ will start, I think this is just Marrone keeping people (ie, Pats*) in the dark. If not, whatever. Tuel can just launch it every play and get 15 pass interference calls.
  6. I'd give Fred and Kyle a bit of a break, as they're both coming back from injuries/surgery. Usually takes a little while to get back in form.
  7. Great tribute. Thank you for sharing.
  8. Seriously? EJ wasn't looking so hot in that first game, up until the 2:00 drive. He has his share of miscues in the second game as well. He's looked as good as I've hoped, but he'll be making plenty of mistakes this year once defenses start trying to confuse him. I'm totally on the EJ bandwagon, but sounds like everyone is getting a little giddy.
  9. Just to make sure I didn't miss something, you start with this: and finish with this: Shouldn't you be holding your horses?
  10. Yeah, thanks for sharing. I remember the Bucs from back then, and how cool I thought it was that they made the NFC Championship Game. I remember the defense, but I had forgotten all about Ricky Bell. I never knew any of that story.
  11. Along those lines, here's a decent Kool-Aid-drinker article from Yahoo on the defense: Jairus Byrd's Arrival Final Step Toward Dominant Buffalo Bills Defense in 2013 And yes, !@#$ you, Dave.
  12. Kevin Elliott is out for the season on IR...
  13. Ed Werder ‏@Edwerderespn32m Regarding Jarius Byrd: Acrimony remains, will take time to adjust to scheme, get in football shape, may even hope for eventual trade By the way, Astro -- sounds like Wood and Brown are starting to jell, would you say?
  14. Glad to see others are happy that we got rid of the toilet seat. Oh, wait -- should we not be discussing such inane topics here?
  15. Yup, that's exactly what I was thinking...
  16. I'm starting to think this, too. I think the jist is that Easley needs to show enough to make Smith expendable, similar to the Hopkins/Lindell battle. Sounds like he has. I'd like to see us keep 7 WRs, the three extras being Hogan, Rogers, and Easley. We all want so much to like Rogers...
  17. Thanks again, Astro. Is this going to be the last one? I think there is only one more practice at SJF before they go back to Buffalo, but I don't recall if its open to the public. If that's the finale, I tip my hat to you, sir. You made the summer that much better.
  18. I don't believe the new drop technique is for hang time or distance; it's for dropping the ball inside the 10 with more of a backspin to prevent it from going in the end zone. My worry is that the defense isn't going to be quite as awesome as we all think it's going to be. Not for any particular reason other than cynicism. George Edwards and Friggin' Dave Wannstedt will do that to you.
  19. Yeah, but they get a pass because they, you know, beat the Pats*.
  20. I think it's almost as much "the Brad Smith dilemma" as it is "the DaRick Rogers dilemma".
  21. Wait, so why wasn't every TV in the TV section tuned into the game?
  22. If your draft gives you two starters and two decent backups, that's a pretty good draft, I'd say. I still want to see if Moats and Easley do, actually, make decent backups, though.
  23. This thread is certainly heading in the right direction.
  24. For some reason, I still remember that game at Kansas City a few years back, the one that went to overtime. Lindell nailed something like a 50-yarder, which I think would have won it (can't remember for sure), but the Chiefs called timeout before he kicked it. He then proceeded to shank the follow-up. Damn, that ticked me off. Nevertheless, classy guy, a great kicker, and a real professional. Glad he was a Buffalo Bill.
