  1. are Andre Reed and Thurman Thomas eligible next year?

     

    I keep reading that neither is a first ballot guy, most recently from Peter King in MMQB- what a crock of ****

    Thomas is an easy HOF player.

     

    I think Reed is borderline. He accumulated stats receptions because he played so long, but he never was considered one of the best WRs. Looking at his stats, he only went over 1000 yards 4 times, and only had over 70 catches in a season 5 times (and 2 of those were 71 reception seasons).

  2. I think the whole 'he could risk his career if he plays' argument is really silly. It's an ankle injury. Even if he plays and hurts himself there's nothing that's going to happen that would hurt his career down the road. And I can't imagine there'd be anything that could happen that would keep him from training camp.

     

    Now whether he'd be effective if he played is another story, and none of us can answer that.

  3. I buy their team rankings more than these rankings. In the team rankings, you're comparing 11 on 11 so it is always fair. In these rankings, you see receivers who attract automatic double teams like Chad Johnson, Harrison and perhaps Moulds get short shrift to the #2 guys who get single coverage because of the #1 guys' abilities.

    Bingo!

  4. Evans- Too early to declare him a great pick, but most wish they all produced like this.  His presence has revitalized Moulds production

    Moulds had the groin problem that limited him last year. I don't think that Moulds is revitalized because of Evans, he's just healthy this year.

  5. Wide Receiver Review

     

    Larry Fitzgerald: Taken with the third pick in the draft by Arizona, Fitzgerald started 15 games snagging 55 catches for 744 yards and 8 TDs not to mention 34 first downs.

     

    Roy Williams:  Taken by Detroit with the 7th pick in the draft.  He started 11 games, made 50 catches for 7 TDs, 755 yards and 31 first downs.

     

    Reggie Williams:  Taken by J’ville with the 9th pick in the draft.  He has started 15 games but only has 27 catches for 268 yards and one TD to go with 14 first downs.

     

    Lee Evans:  Taken by the Bills with the 13th pick, he has only started 11 games but has 46 catches for 780 yards, 9 TD’s and 37 first downs.  His average per catch is over 17 yards.

     

    Michael Clayton:  Taken by Tampa Bay with the 15th pick in the draft, Clayton has started 12 games and has a whopping 78 catches for 1107 yards, 6 TD’s and 54 FD’s.

     

    Michael Jenkins:  Taken by the Falcons with the 29th pick.  He hasn’t started a game and has only 6 catches.

     

    Rashaun Woods:  Taken by SF with the 31st pick of the first round.  He has no starts, only 4 or 5 catches and 1 TD.

     

    I suspect if teams got a chance to draft again now instead of back in April, Fitzgerald and Roy Williams would be the first two, and Evans and Clayton would be the next 2.

     

    Their production seems to be higher than most rookie WRs.

  6. I get 6% matched so that's what I do.

     

    The most ideal way to maximize your savings is to put all of what your company matches in a 401K (since you are getting a 100% return on that), and then put the maximum amount in a Roth IRA account. The Roth money will be tax free when you withdraw it (although it's aftertax money when it goes in).

  7. Watching Harvard players get pelted with fish is a pretty cool experience, and even worth the minor penalty assessed.

     

    The funny thing is is that everyone has to sneak the fish in, but when you walk into the rink that's all you could smell so you knew it was coming. Sure enough Harvard comes out for their warmup and out come the fish from Section A&B onto the ice.

     

    The tradition ended shortly after Schaeffer took over (or at least when I was there it ended).

  8. If anyone likes really detailed statistical analysis you should head over to Football Outsiders. There's a lot of great stuff there. It takes a little while to get used to it but it's highly informative.

     

    Looking at the Bills rushing Stats by direction:

     

    left - 2.88 yards/carry, 21% of attempts

    middle - 3.40 y/c, 61%

    right - 4.47 y/c, 17%

     

    The 4.47 y/c going right actually leads the league.

  9. The line played very well today. Have always liked Price as a backup - and he has always played well in a fill-in roll. Maybe he can replace Jonas if we dont resign him.

    I don't know that it's better, but I do know the difference between Price and Jennings will be a lot less than what Price gets paid next year and what Jennings gets paid next year.

  10. A win-win move by throwing the red flag.

    Um, no.

     

    You don't get unlimited challenges. Why waste one?

     

    If the Bills needed a challenge in the 4th quarter but didn't have it because they wasted one on an obvious incompletion everyone would be ripping MM.

  11. what was the call on that...the ball never went out of bounds, the player was standing OB when he touched the ball while it was still inbounds...i thought that was a penalty, going OB and being the first to touch it...miami should have gotten it on the 3, not the 40...

     

    Can someone clarify this for me?

    The same thing happened in the Ravens/Redskin game last week. Odd rule, but apparently correct.
