[Pisa bad -mouths Bills...]

When I was nine years old, somebody called my bicycle ugly. I've never recovered.

That bike was ugly!

[The truth about Wood and Levitre]

C'mon man! Can we wait for training camp to open! I like the fact that starting jobs aren't just being handed to rookies. Let's see who's what by opening day. While I don't know if our overall line has been upgraded, I do feel like the interior of our line has. Don't panic of the "starting" line-up in OTA's.

[Where is Nelson?]

ESPN has reported that the personal problems stem from TO calling him out for not getting him the ball enough.

[The key to our offense's success this season is the no huddle...]

This is a complete misnomer. The Bills during the early 90's led the league in rushing twice and were 7 and 8 the other two years they ran the no huddle. The no huddle spreads the defense which opens up rushing lanes. The no huddle can effectively wear down a defense as good or better than a smash mouth offense. The whole key is moving the chains.

Totally agree. Sometimes spreading the defense is the key to running successfully. The reason the Bills have trouble running, aside from the fact they go up the middle too often, is because they have no credible passing game. DB's come flying up on first down as soon as the ball is hiked. We MUST throw on first down so teams don't gang up on the running game.

[I don't know Ed Thompson, but I want some]

Prescription strength cannibis.

[It's Official: Pisa agrees to terms with the Bears]

I'm not going to pretend I didn't want this guy as a Bill--I did and this hurts. I've seen enough of Ellison and he's a backup at best and God forbid he or anyone else should go down next year. The FO screwed the pooch on this one, IMHO......

My feelings exactly. I wanted them to keep Crowell. I would have loved to have any of the free agents who came in. I can't watch Ellison. Exactly what have they done in the offseason to upgrade the run D. Nothing.

[Jauronisms]

Another tread gave me the idea for asking everyone for your favorite quote from our quote machine coach. I'll start with the traditional post-draft "you can't have too many good cornerbacks"

[NFL - Overtime Solution]

That's the only change that should be made. To all the people bitching that teams who win the coin toss seem to win too much, I have this to say. The other team should try playing defense...either on the kickoff by actually covering the kick (or even an onside kick) or by trying to actually stop the opposing offense. It's a team game and if your defense and special teams aren't contributing, you don't deserve to win

Totally assisine. Why shouldn't BOTH teams have to play defense to win? Because you won a coin flip? BFD

[Anyone want to know where Pisa Tinoisamoa was today?]

I want a samoan.

[There Goes The Season]

Made irrelevant by the sudden emergence of Justin Jenkins in the OTA's.

[tinasamoa?]

According to Jeff Duncan of the Saint's Insider Pisa's asking price is too high.

 

http://blog.nola.com/jeffduncan/2009/05/mo...ho_the_new.html

All the article says is that he is looking for starter money. Well duh... If he's too expensive for the Saints, he's just right for us. Where is would you rather be than right here right now.

Um... I digress.

[A key to the city?]

And this was at 11:30 at night? And the Jills were there? Absolutely insane.

There hasn't been this much hype since we got Bledsoe. That one worked out.

[How about Derrick Brooks?]

They could look at Derrick Brooks. Bryce Paup is another option.

I still have his jersey.

[Cards Release OLB Travis LaBoy]

I can imagine how this conversation with Jauron and Russ went down.

 

Russ: "So, it looks like the Cards released Travis LaBoy, a real good pass rushing DE. Would be a nice addition to our squad and give us great depth"

 

Dick: "Pass, we already have Kelsay"

 

Russ: "...riiiiiggghht. They also released this Defensive Back Roder..."

 

Dick: "GET HIM IN HERE NOW!! SCREW THE COST, RUSS!"

Excellent post.

[Salsports: 4 Wide Offense / No Huddle re-confirmed]

You mean like "svelte" 366 lb. "new" LT Langston Walker?

 

 

 

I just love how people tend to gloss over the fact Peters was pretty damn good in 2007. Instead, they like to focus in on 2008. Like that year is a foreshadow of he'll play from now on.

Have you ordered your Jason Peters Eagles jersey? Players are graded on an annual basis. We determining if our o-line will be better than it was last year. Peters might be great in the future. I really don't care. He is no longer a Bill. He forced his way off my team. No love for jason.

[Defense]

I have to disagree with your post. After watching every snap last year, I think the team has the perfect blend of offense and defense. The defense is downright offensive and they have no defense for the offense. I can only watch so much of a poorly executed, flawed scheme. It only takes a few missed tackles and I'm anxious to get the offense back out on the field, to show what they can't do. A few checkdowns for no gain later, and I'm yearning for eight yard cushions again. Once the opponent scores, I am all giddy with the prospect of Lynch dancing his way to a 1 yard gain. On third and long Trent finds a well covered Fred Jackson five yards behind the LOS. The clock runs out as Jauron saves two timeouts for the second half.

Man did this guy just hit last season in a nutshell or what? But the cushion varies and is usually one yard more than the other team needs for a first down.

[Ralph is going to sell the team before his death, maybe by year end]

This picture is from the proud day he finally closed the deal on his beemer.

MAN! That is one ugly ride.

[2009]

Now that the draft is over and free agency is mostly over, I was thinking. Looking at our schedule, is there anybody out there who wouldn't be thrilled with a 9-7 record? PROGRESS!

[Has Maybin picked his Jersey Number?]

Sorry, sorry, sorry, I missed Lori's link. . Big bully!! I'm gonna have my cat knock yo' ass out!!

Yeah, go cat. Hit em!

[Bills let rookie wear #12 in rookie camp. WTF?]

Respect the twelve.

[Bills let rookie wear #12 in rookie camp. WTF?]

What's the big deal? How many Superbowls did this #12 guy win, anyways?

You shut up you bastard. Sheesh, is nothing sacred? Pig fornicator!

[According to PFW.....]

Mark Schlereth called Peters "an absolute mauler" on NFL live today. Did he ever watch him play?? Even in '07 Peters wasn't "mauling" anybody.

I agree. Pretty good pass blocker which is what you want at LT but I don't remember him "mauling " anyone in the running game. I liked Peters but he is clearly overrated.

[Why trade with Dallas?]

I like this pick because it keeps Whitner at SS where he belongs. He is not a free safety.

[Resounding vote of confidence of for Bell, Chambers and Walker]

By not drafting any Tackles with any of our first four picks, I'd have to say that the Bills gave a resounding vote of confidence in Bell, Chambers and Walker. I was hoping this would be the case. It may turn out to be a bad decision, but the FO apparently must believe that they may be able to get the job done.

[What player will make your head explode]

we wont take crabtree

 

ill be mad if we pass on orakpo and raji

My head WILL explode if we take Pettigrew at 11.

My head WILL xplode if I have to watch another season of Chris Kelsey and Keith Ellison as starters.

My head will explode if we take a corner anywhere in this draft. We've got 5 of em.
