The Cincinnati Kid

I always will believe we are just one year away. Its a curse, but I love it and I love supporting the Bills. Someday they will get there, they have to, right?

The Jets cut Maybin too. Just saying...

Its amazing to me how stupid some people can be....This is truly unbelievable...

WIth all of the moves we have made in the last few weeks, and not one of them involved moving Jasper up from the PS to the Active Roster says a lot about who can play at the NFL Level. Its not like this is Chan's first rodeo. If he thought Jasper could help on Sunday's he would have made the move already. He hasn't made the move. That says all that needs to be said about Jasper's ability to help this team on Sundays.

Yeah, great idea. Let's activate Jasper to the 53 man roster and cut a guy who can actually play at this level...Good thinking.

Not always, but generally, when you see a guy on a swing pass or flare pass, their first job is pass protection and blitz pickup. If/when nobody shows the back moves to the outside as a safety valve. The back is in 1 on 1 coverage with an LB who is probably spying him or a CB who is in zone coverage. The reason Spiller doesn't get this play is because he sucks at blitz pickup. And Fred is unreal this season.

I am pretty sure Aaron was doing the "Championship Belt" before State Farm paid him a gazillion $ to do it in their commercials, which is pretty smart on State Farm's part because the NFL can't get mad at Rodgers for doing something that he's done over and over again without getting fined.

I don't see them letting Stevie walk. I think Chan and Buddy will do what it takes to get him signed long term. Remember Donald Jones is only in his second year. He was a UDFA last year. He still needs a lot of work no doubt, but he is a guy with a lot of potential next to Stevie. Additionally, the more I think about and the more I see it, I really think Mr. Spiller is going to find himself playing WR full time pretty soon. I liked what White did in preseason. I wouldn't be shocked it that came to pass.

Love the bills...

Ha! My first post in this thread!

Well, they did make a practice squad call-up, but it wasn't the magical mystery man Jasper...it was a guy who can help us in Nesbitt. We see one workout video of a guy throwing medicine ball chest passes and we think he is the greatest player since Julius Peppers...

That game against the Redskins....Anomaly...

I am sick of all the Jasper talk. Look, if he was good enough to help the team he wouldn't be on the practice squad. I really doubt he gets pulled up tomorrow. He is a project. They said as much when they picked. His size and ability to dunk a basketball have people thinking he is some sort of fairy tale wizard who will change the fortune of the Bills forever. Holy cow. Get off it. A really big dude who is athletic got picked in the NFL draft...in the 7th round... I hope he is player for us, but he isn't there yet or Chan would have him on the Sunday roster, not the Wednesday thru Friday roster.

Read that story about D. Jackson. Hilarious. Learn to budget your money fool.

I dont like telling the QB to "be careful with the Rock." I think one of a Quarterback's best assets is to be able to throw it where he initially deems it should go. Just like when taking a test, your first thought is usually your best option. If we give the mandate, then we are in turn creating a slower release, more time for the DBs to get into position and more sacks. Reacting is for defense. The Quarterback is the catalyst and needs to be the guy who presses the issue each and every day in practice and on gamedays.

McIntyre would be the lead back. It was a separate thought separated by a "." and a new sentence. However, if you wanted to have both of them in an I formation in a short yardage situation and fake a dive to Fred as the fullback and then pitch to Spiller around the edge (ala Bledsoe to McGahee) then I am all for it.

Oh and the whole thing about Jasper...he is on the team because he has obvious physical tools and potential...another guy that comes to mind is Rob Johnson, Trent Edwards, JP Losman, etc. Get off it. If he is someone that the coaches (who see him everyday in practice) believe can help this team he'd being doing it already. Like Chan says, "If it were that simple, we'd have done it already." I'm so sick of the Jasper crap.

Spiller is not a bust because it is obvious he knows what football is and the general idea of the game. Maybin on the other hand does not know what football is and only understands that "there is a QB and I should try to side step people quickly and without getting touched because I am lighter than a feather."

I think we need to do what we do. We can't play defense. We can't throw deep. We need to maximize what we can do. We can run the ball. We should. After we run the ball, we should play-action pass. This concept is totally missing in Chan's play calling. After we play action pass, we should run a screen. A tunnel screen, a tailback screen, a jailbreak screen, a tight end screen, a fullback screen, etc. Once we have done all that we should do it all over again. We should have Brad Smith on the field more because nobody knows what he can and cannot do in a Bills jersey. We should have Fred and Cj on the field together more. We should run a damn I formation. But I am sure Chan is on top of it. He is a good coach. He'll spend today and tomorrow reviewing himself and his play calls. I have confidence in this team and coaching staff.

Im still a Fitzpatrick guy....Remember when Romo had a few bad games this year? Think they hated Brady after his 4 int day in BLo? So he didn't play well today or last Sunday, it happens. He is a professional and he'll bounce back. You gotta have faith in the the guys on your team.

I thought it was great. Try telling your girl that if thing A happens then you will in turn do thing B. Have thing A happen under circumstances you didnt envision...You choose not to do thing B. How much trouble are you? Thats a really special moment for both of them. Get off it. These people are PEOPLE not just robots we watch on Sundays. They are REAL...

I have no problem with her or anyone else reading to a classroom of children. Kids, especially little kids, really enjoy special guests visiting their classrooms. Like so many others have said, the kids don't care what she does or even know what it is.

Id take collinsworth over simms any day.

I dont see this anywhere...anybody have a link?

From Chris Brown's Blog... Maybin is not a stud player in this league. This is why, from a guy who is around the team every single day. You can think what you'd like but those of us with football sense realize that while Maybin does have three sacks and three forced fumbles, they are not because he did anything great to make it happen. 2 - Hi chris The Bills considered Aaron Maybin a bust after two years, however he has been a productive player for the Jets this season. How and why did the Bills staff so seriously misjudge this player?? Go Bills Richard, Boca Raton, FL CB: I think it’s difficult for you to say the Bills misjudged Maybin. You fault the Bills for cutting him loose after two years, but you’ve decided he’s a playmaker after a few games? What has happened is Maybin is a pass rush specialist. He comes in on passing downs only and usually pursues from the back side. With other more respect pass rushing talent on the field with him (Calvin Pace) along with a strong inside linebacking duo, less attention is paid to Maybin allowing him to run plays down from behind. Personally I don’t think he’ll ever be more than a specialty player because he lacks football instincts. If he’s asked to read run-pass he struggles. In coverage he’s a liability. He tries hard and he hustles, but I still don’t think he’ll amount to much.
