Bleed Bills Blue

I would be surprised to see Hardy on the field Sunday. But yeah, I hope we get dizzy with all the offensive combos on display this week. It's always fun to hear the buzz in the stands when the home crowd recognizes a new set at the line of scrimmage. Hope the players can keep it all straight!

You bet, seriously. This game is gonna be more like the opening day pounding of the Pats a few years ago. Home field advantage gone wild. Chan ball is go for the jugular, not go for the ankle grab. SQUUUIIISSSHHHH! I AM SO PUMPED!!!

I need to go find something to punch.

Fish swim into Buffalo buzz-saw...story at 11.

Turns out he was who we thought he was...only much worse!

After the third preseason game last year, even the most optimistic among us would have admitted that things looked bleak. No prancing unicorns here, but it feels like a new day, I think the worst is behind us. The players are buying into what Chan and Buddy are selling, and so am I. What's the worst that could happen, I get my heart torn out for the 1000th time?

We're actually getting better with each game this preseason. How many agonizing years have we heard "We need to go back, watch the tape and learn from our mistakes", only to have to endure the same grinding mediocrity the following week? This ship hasn't been fully righted yet, but at least it's not sailing in circles any longer. Bring on the opening day ROUT !!

First quarter was great but can't get squat now.

+1 If Gailey can get any kind of consistent production out of that group, he will be an offensive miracle worker in my book.

I'll bet he also don't know nothin bout birthin no babies!

Which one is Jauron?

You would notice that! Something about him, his voice/way of speaking maybe, reminds me just a bit of Jim Kelly. Maybe someday...hey, who knows??

Like the prediction, and I agree.

Yep. Good assessment of his personality, I'd say. Funny about the Drew Brees/TRX connection, because I think that Brees is that QB who projects a similar personality...was hyped over and over in all the SB coverage. Just watch Brees take charge as a real leader of his team, though, and you'll see the quality which Trent hasn't shown much of to this point. Well, now he's got a second chance. Some real competition should help sort out the QB order. Let's hope Brohm provides that competition. The guy who grabs the job by the throat will probably be the guy who can grab opposing teams by the throat.

Here's what some are forgetting: On offense, Chan Gailey > Skeletor+Doughboy. The offensive plan at OBD is based partly on the conviction that the talent we have is not as bad as it looked last year, and that Chan will be able to do more with it than Dick Jauron ever could. No, it will not be a juggernaut, but it won't need to be. With an improved D, turn only a few field goals into touchdowns and our record is much better. I believe as the season progresses we will find this to have been a sound plan.

Wow

Wow, it's gotta be some kind of sin to be this drunk on Easter morning. Imagine Imagine no receivers I wonder if you can No one to catch or throw to A losing year for Chan Imagine all the draft picks We'd get for Marshawn! You, you may say Derrick's a dreamer He may be the only one I hope that Buddy Nix ain't listening Or the Bills are surely done

Seems like it might be best for both parties.

No one wants Lynch.

Hopefully this will be enough motivation for numnutz to have a career year in 2010. Also, regarding the OT rule change I found this evolving statistic on successful FG % between 40-49 yards eye-popping: "Fast forward to today's game. Over the past four seasons, NFL place-kickers have averaged 73 percent from 40 to 49 yards..." Of course, this means that, if SB XXV had only been played today, we win.

He can sit and be groomed for a year while he learns about the NFL from a real quarterback... ...Fred Jackson.

Tony, Tony Sis boom bah!

How can Peters' numbers not be better, considering he played last year in front of a smart, mobile veteran QB instead of the oblivious sack-prey who stumbled around behind our line?

Thanks to Josh Reed for his years of clutch catches, first downs and hard-nosed, consistent effort. He did credit to the Bills uniform he wore. I hope he lands on a winning team, and I hope we have his replacement in the wings.

Or, if you can't stand the thought of a tie... Just trot out your kickers and start with a 30 yard FG attempt, one shot each. Then back up 5 yards and do it again. Keep backing up 5 yards until someone misses.
