Rubes

Funny, I could have sworn most of the media saying that Holcomb was probably going to be their 3rd stringer. That's a coup?

Nah, I'm guessing it just has to do with how they are remembered. Chandler was no more a Raider than OJ was a 49er, Thurman a phin, or Bruce and Andre a Skin.

Are we allowed to remind you of this post sometime during the fall when you slip back into your depression?

I lived there for 8 years and never found a Bills bar...where is Lincoln Station?

My next jersey, for certain, will be a throwback #81 Bobby Chandler. I'm reasonably sure nothing could go wrong with that one.

What exactly are you proposing the Bills give up in order to move up in the 1st round?

Holy crap, that's hysterical!

The only two I've ever bought were Winfield and Spikes. Criminy. Anybody you'd like to see gone in a year or two? I'm buyin'.

"Forget it, he's on a roll."

I would like to see what this tally looked like last year.

I could have sworn this thread was started by crayonz...

I agree...I used to watch that long before ESPN. I can't believe it was still on.

Of course, if the Colts game last year was any indication, that's not necessarily a good indicator either. When the Bills defense needed a stop on that last drive, they couldn't even get the Colts into a 3rd down situation. They kept making first downs on second down.

It all comes down to 3rd down performance. On both sides of the ball.

True, that. And the fact that his performance coming off that injury does not warrant that amount of coin. If he had never been injured, he'd be worth the money.

Although my first reaction was similar to LA's, in the end it comes down to this for me: I'm just glad Marv and Dick are running this ship.

Ah, rookies.

Good Lord, some people will just never let it go....

Super Bowl. Easy.

Damn...methinks Atlanta made out like bandits in this one.

And all I'm saying is that past events don't necessarily have any impact on the future. Just because Cowher tanked his previous chances at a Super Bowl victory didn't mean he couldn't go out and finish the job. And just because Brown has had injuries in the past (as long as they aren't chronic injuries) doesn't mean he'll go out there and do the same again.

Running backs frequently get hurt. McGahee was hurt, Henry was hurt. They often played through the pain, but who's to say if they would have if they had the same injuries as Brown. To me, saying Brown is an injury waiting to happen is not much different than saying Cowher or Dungy could never win the big one. Which is what a lot of people were saying.

Maybe they should finally put in a rule to have the same number of cameras present at every freaking game. Why some games (read: night games and playoff games) get more cameras is beyond me when the money flowing around is at such ridiculous levels.

If Brown could be had for a decent price he'd be a good pickup. Regardless of everyone's perception of his health, it would fill a need position, if even only temporarily. This team has holes to fill that can't all be addressed by high draft picks this year. My impression is that Marv and Dick have a plan, but when they took over they knew this was no quick fix. Three years to remake this team over. This is the second year and if we can focus on something other than RB in the early rounds, then great.

That is exactly true.
