YoloinOhio Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=400553294 I soooo wanted the Bills to sign/draft BO. He will be good. the GM is from Bflo. Last year he had Luke Tasker in camp. I think Oliver makes the team and adds a nice element to their RB group of Matthews and brown.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 (edited) I predicted Oliver would make a NFL roster this year. He's small but he's a baller. This would be a bad spot for him. He won't make the team and there would be a 38 page thread about why the Bills cut him. I know why we didn't sign him. We have more than enough RBs. But still. I watched him at UB for years and he is like a human bowling ball. Extremely hard to tackle once he gets going. Edited August 8, 2014 by PromoTheRobot
eball Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I guaran-damn-tee you somewhere on a Patriots* message board fans are clamoring for Garappolo to get reps with the 1st team offense.
YoloinOhio Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 I guaran-damn-tee you somewhere on a Patriots* message board fans are clamoring for Garappolo to get reps with the 1st team offense. I saw more than one tweet from Pats* fans about wanting to cut Mallett and make Jimmy G. the #2.
DC Greg Posted August 8, 2014 Posted August 8, 2014 Cousins struggled mightily last year when give the opportunity to run the offense. That was the reason no trades for him developed in the off season. Another possible Rob Johnson "One Game Wonder" kid. When he was in last year the season was already lost and the team around him was atrocious. Not saying he was the best, but I don't view the Redskins struggles last year as a final indicator of whether or not Kirk Cousins can be successful in the NFL. He has been brilliant at times. Great touch and timing on his throws.
FluffHead Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Holy schnikes. I vaguely remembered this from a few years ago in the Chan era when we played @minnesota in the pre season. The Vikings home broadcast is the most obnoxious set of announcers i have ever heard. It's almost as if they are doing a horrible comedy routine. Wow. What a joke.
Awwufelloff Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Bortles looked really good. His mechanics look flawless.
Buffalo Barbarian Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Bortles looked really good. His mechanics look flawless. I know I know why we didn't sign him. We have more than enough RBs. But still. I watched him at UB for years and he is like a human bowling ball. Extremely hard to tackle once he gets going. :thumbsup:
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Bortles looked really good. His mechanics look flawless. surprising considering his mechanics are one of his flaws per all the scouting reports. That is reportedly why he is red shirting this year, so they can overhaul them. Similar to Aaron Rodgers (but they don't have Favre)! But of course I read right here on this board that mechanics can't ever be fixed. Lol.
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Anyone else excited to watch Johnny Football tonight? He started off camp very poorly but has since started looking much better once he got snaps with the 1s. Josh Gordon is playing tonight so that should help but I think he will only be playing with hoyer since he is starting. Sounds like we will see 1 qtr of Hoyer and 1 qtr of Johnny. Watching out of curiosity more than anything. Also want to see the 1st team Browns D against 1st team lions offense.

I think a lot of teams are going to regret passing on Manziel.
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 I think manziel is a bit of a project until he shows he can consistently stay in the pocket. I love his talent throwing on the move and his gamesmanship. I have no prediction yet on whether he will be a success but definitely interesting to watch unfold.

I also have a soft spot for the Browns, so I hope they do well.
YoloinOhio Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Browns D looks very familiar! Isaiah Trufant = robey
YoloinOhio Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I am getting the Cleveland homer broadcast and it is bruuuuuutal.
GG Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 NFL network getting as bad as espn, with 45 minutes of Lions Browns game analysis. Let's hope the other 30 owners lob a call to the network tomorrow.

Let's hope the other 30 owners lob a call to the network tomorrow. yes it's horrible. I am sure they will talk about it all week because money phone is starting game 2, per pettine. Another beef with NFLN - they show the game recaps throughout the day and for ours, it was all panthers highlights and sideline shots of Cam. No bills plays at all. Then at the end, oh the bills won, however. Lame.

Then at the end, oh the bills won, however. Lame. There isn't a headline star on the Bills. You can't really blame them. They're in the "clicks" or "tuning in" business, not equality of coverage.
GG Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Few other observations. Watching Cleveland's 3rd string QB, was looking good for a drive or two and sure enough it was good ol Pigpen. Figured that made sense sine an NFL vet should clean up against 3rd string camp fodder. Then came the last drive with Cleveland behind. One pass almost got his WR killed and the next sailed over the moon right into the safety's hands. Some things really don't change. Felt a bit bad for Landry Jones. Driving for a comeback, hits RB and WR square in the hands and both drop easy throws. He then makes a great pass to a receiver who picks up a long 4th down conversion deep in Giants territory. But in stupidly trying to pick up an extra foot, he gets stripped of the ball. Game over.
Thunderstealer Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 I like what QB Web did in the Panthers Bills game. Showed strength on his feet, fairly accurate, good size--he looks like a basketball big man in there--he's got some good tools.
