no one can cover gronk. Even when Williams was step to step with him (which wasn't often) he still owned us. Gotta hit him hard and hit him often to slow him down. That is how you beat him.

The trenches are the most important part by far. One of the biggest reasons we sucked is because we lost the battle at the los

Buddy asleep at the wheel. But all joking aside, it is a steal for philly. Even if he isn't the same player after injury, they gave up little for him

Tempo should be paying the bills for all the advertising they are getting out of these visits. Also, is the tempo any good? I have never been

Those poor phins. They think they are going to get barkley. But I bet good money the browns get the first pick next year. Miami is taking steps back, but they can't be that bad

Having a Tebow distraction would totally screw up the locker room. Just him being in the team, every player is going to hr asked about him and whether or not he should start. Last thing we need is a circus. Haha

I don't know weo, but I haven't seen him bring up politics in a football thread. All we need to do is throw religion in there and we will have ten pages of nonfootball talk

Yup.

The politics angle was a terrible comparison

He is just using us to drive up his price for another team. Free agents never come to buffalo

He didn't say accent. It is how he says things. He is very blunt and very forward. Business leaders usually have more finesse when they talk. They sugarcoat things for PR reasons and to get deals done. You could argue that the way he talks hurt us earlier. I can imagine a free agent going to one bills drive and him saying "this team is a mess, we got a lot of work to do, we aren't winning a lot of super bowls anytime soon, but we want you to help us turn it around." I can imagine aj smith handling all the deals and just using nix as an evaluater. Though I think there is more reason than the way he talks as to why he hasn't been a gm before, but I think how he says things might be a big.reason. I never seen a gm be so forward as he is

I agree, but I think this season will be the moment of truth as to whether their work has paid off or not. I like these guys, but so far we haven't seen a good season, though the team has made strides. I have good hope that we make the playoffs this year. If Mario was on the team last year, we would have won at least 2 more games if not more. And with Kyle, and other healthy players, that should give us another fast start. Just have to draft well.

This is an interesting perspective and I bet a lot of it is true.

I love nix and all, but I still hate that first draft. But I have loved the guy since then.

I liked the idea of thigpen, but after seeing him in preseason I am scared. Worst part is I don't thing they are going to change our backup situation.

Agreed. And I think harriston is a good backup for both tackles, but they need a levity starter at lt if they aren't going to sign bell, which is obvious. Otherwise our line is in good shape

They are kind of a step behind in recent years as far as recruiting. Last year we added barnett, pears, and chandler, all who did well for us. And the pats added haynesworth and ochocinco, which did nothing. There was a time the pats could turn scrubs into all pros, but I think they have been off lately. Plus we don't have all our eggs in one basket. We can still sign others and we still have the draft. Plently more resources to continue building.

I bet they trade him before camp. They seem to have found his replacement already and they also got a deep thread in Lloyd. It seems like a pats* thing to do

Hahaha, that dez bryant quote of his never gets old and will be written on his gravestone. I am talking about Ireland, not Clark.

Haha, pretty nifty

Oh, and 4, 5, and 6 were my favorites

Hahaha, wow

Well, might not always be easy to catch, but this was obvious

Depends. If brady got injured LAST year, that was probably a 5 win team at most. The year they lost Brady they had an awesome defense. Last year, they had one of the worst.... For right now, brady and his coach are carrying that team.
