Sorry it’s two hours later than normal. SBN was doing maintenance until at least 7AM and prevented me from putting it together. :-)

Man I dislike Rex Ryan.

Agreed

Maybe not so much about Bobby Knight, but definitely for Ryan. If you’re a football player, you want a tough, aggressive coach leading you into battle. He’s not afraid to say certain areas of his team played poorly or needs to turn it around, but he also takes the blame for their play. That’s a guy I’d like to play for.

Rex Ryan is a big(and I mean big) whiny baby

Dumbass ignited a powderkeg this summer, now he’s just pouring fuel on the fire.

Well, I don’t mind Baltimore. But I very much dislike the Jets. And as Joe asked “What’s not to like?”, I felt the Jets answer applied. :)

At this point, I am to envious of them to dislike them.

Of course I will muster up some dislike for them on Sunday :-)

I remained grounded to the fact that trading Owens

might be the worst PR move the team could make this year.

“Hey Bills fans: You paid all that money for tickets to see T.O. and his jersey to wear, right? Well, isn’t it great that now you can enjoy him in a future draft pick?!”

If it makes the team better for the future

do it.

If someone like Chicago offered a 2nd round pick, the Bills would be nuts not to take it. If fans are upset about that, oh well. This is a business and players have moved on before, and will move on in the future.

Jamon Meredith

We need this guy more than anything to be effective. Kirk Chambers is really really bad and I hope not to see him on the field again this year. Jonathan Scott is average and at least better than Chambers. Butler may not be effective at RT for another two years. We need Meredith to step in and play like a starter. He needs to improve very quickly so we know that we will have a solid starter going into next season, then we can go about signing competent back up help.

This might be the most significant position affecting why our offense can’t score or move forward.
