Reports: Edwards, McGee to land on IR

your starter and backup are hurt, and rather than yank the dude who played 6 years in HS and College, you yank the 70+ year old dude with 2 replacement hips, and COPD.

How about… uh, today?

ouch!

Nnamdi Asomugha has 4 passes defended and 1 interception this year.

Just saying

I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing them get the majority of the snaps in the second half if we’re losing in a blowout.

Do they play QB, CB, OL, or LB? Those are where we need bodies. Too bad for them.

Maybin should be on the field. If he can’t defend the run, he should learn. Schobel is our best DE. Schobel is our best DE? Schobel is our BEST DE. that’s just sad. and getting steve johnson out there would be in our best interest as well, to show that he deserves a roster spot in the future….

Hey we still have a good shot of picking ahead of KC, Oakland and Washington. All of which are in the market for the same positions that we are.

a whole what, like 3 weeks learning the system and terminology? Veterans need that long to even step on the field, let alone a practice squad player who hasn’t taken an official snap in the league.

late in the season when there is nothing to play for. Do you think the fans really care much that we are 6-10 vs. 5-11 vs. 4-12? We missed the playoffs. Time to play for the future. Yeah I understand that these coaches are playing for their jobs too and they want to win now, but where are we going with not dressing James Hardy, giving Ryan Denny reps for Aaron Maybin, Subbing Steve Johnson for Reed.

Fans would be more satisfied to see that we are playing for the future rather than playing guys that probably won’t be here next year or we certainly know what we already have in them.

There’s a me train leaving town today. I bought me a ticket.

It says a lot that I’m thinking this isn’t a terrible idea. That’d give Roscoe something to do, at least.

or ours? It shouldn’t require 3 or 4 or 5 rebuilds to get in… i agree…. so then….. where lies the problem? in the office? everyones quick to believe one guy will make all the difference in the world but unless that guy is Bill Polian or GOD i don’t know that a team of skilled individuals will get it done in a year. Maybe two or three. Maybe 5. Maybe another decade. depends on so many variables that the moral of the story is we will be looking forward to next year, again next year. and probably again and again and again.

make paper look like a pig

Ralph as been putting lipstick on this pig and selling it to Bills fans for the past decade. It’s time to slaughter the pig and get a Bison…it’s healthier than pork.

Scott…. uh, 200 pound LBs probably stay healthy for long periods of time…. in HIGH SCHOOL.

Fitz- sucks. i mean seriously you guys, he is awful… Let’s maybe try signing an ATHLETIC quarterback, and stop worrying so much about the Ivy League "intelligence’ Plenty of dumbasses out there on the field who don’t suck. I don’t want a genius who can’t throw accurate passes on the field. Who cares if he knows where to go if he can’t get it there?

and don’t get me going on McGee again. He is an older (not old but sure no spring chicken) DB who has been actively involved in special teams as a return man, run support in a poor run defending team in recent years, and has had several injuries throughout his career. note that he has missed at least one game in every season but his second when he was not yet a full time starter.

so that is easy to explain you see…. SUCK= INJURED consistantly on most teams in the National Football League. Practice methods and sound coaching and understanding leverage and individual positioning techniques are the ways to avoid injury. If you don’t prevent them, they can spread like wildfire. But then, we are Bills’ Fans and we know that already from recent experience.

rec’d – couldn’t agree more on the site especially – and everything else you said.

I have no counter argument, just more support… Attempting regionalization of the team in an attempt to expand the fan base? Is there really some where in the area where people don’t travel from to see this team? Toronto, PA (northern), Syracuse, the Buffalo area (all them Burbs and such) and of course Rochester and everywhere in between. There isn’t a shortage of local fans, or we wouldn’t sell out the games even with bargain basement pricing. No one wants to go watch a guaranteed loss. The product quality will always dictate demand for it. Or overall interest. That is the case with every product on the market. Demand is created by interest, availability, and quality. Interest is there, it’s the NFL. Availability is there, we’ve had nationally televised games, and truthfully I feel like that was when our product was the best… or at least when we looked competitive. so really, our biggest product flaw is the poor or inconsistent quality of it; and that is ultimately the true battle, both for us and the remainder of teams in the league.

In 2006 the Bills had four consecutive games blacked out including a game against Tennessee where Buffalo was 18,400 seats short by the Thursday black out deadline. As cheap as Buffalo’s seats are, they have one of the biggest stadiums in the league to fill. And are the nosebleeds really that much cheaper then the rest of the league, or do the Bills just lack the suites and other super expensive seats that drive up the cost of the average ticket. Buffalo’s top rows between the end zones cost 45 and 50 dollars per ticket. Is that really all that much lower than the non-huge markets?

And the thing with Russ Brandon that people need to realize is that the non-football side of running the Buffalo Bills is just as big as the football side. And a huge portion of the football side is run by a head coach. Whoever is in charge of the business side has the marketing/advertising to worry about. They’ve also got the process of pricing, selling, delivering and everything else that happens with tickets. There’s an entire stadium to worry about and a whole other bunch of equipment and facilities to care for. There’s all kinds of public relations that go on, especially considering how important sponsers are. The business needs to be insured on every level imaginable. The business side of the Buffalo Bills is a freaking huge job.

I agree with most of this but I think the 50th anniversary logo is pretty decent. The travesty came with their honoring it on those stupid costumes they call their standard uniforms.

Though i want to cry mostly because he is not in a Bills jersey. How could we miss out on an opportunity for exposure… oh wait, we got T.O. so we got PLENTY of that…. except that he did very little for us this season once it started. again, buffalo fans expecting that one guy is going to solve all the problems in the organization… OBD is suspect. Coaching staff is questionable Except April and Fewell. (Fewell solid-look at what he has done with an OBLITHERATED defense the last few years…..and …. April for HC!! hahaha. man a controversy and chemistry damaging move that would be…) But i digress. Oher should have been our obvious choice, allowing us much more flexibility with our remaining picks. Maybin may never equal what he is being paid. That is a disappointing and obvious concern as picking the wrong guy in the first round has devistated this team many, many, many, many times. Stop looking for Bruce. He retired. He made it to the HOF. Before Ralph passed. Which i think is just great. let alone Ralph getting in, the same year, if at all. So let’s move on, get a new 3-4 installed, and destroy some teams. and then run. and then run more. that is where all successful teams begin. which means no more AVP experiment. Let him go to Canada or the next installation of the UFL, or XFL, or CRAP FL, since NFL Europe is gone.

But he’s been one of the few bright spots on the team this year

for a kid who has spent most of his time learning ball skills and play diagnosis, he is allowed to range free and has been willing to be involved in the support against the run. obvious that he has opportunity to improve in this regard, but that requires time, effort, and direction which he has proven to be more than capable of as a rookie. it’s hard to believe that if that is the want of the coaching staff, that he wouldn’t get more involved. that being said, shouldn’t the line and LBs worry about the tackling? i mean, last i checked teh SAFETY was to prevent the big play, and was the last line of defense against the opponent. i would prefer he stay back stealing picks and let some fatties and bruisers destroy people. best way to avoid injuries in my opinion is to put out their big time playmakers before they take out ours. Not saying we have to be cheap F***S like Wolfork or Haynesworth or Reggie Nelson or any of those scumbag players. but we can get off the ball and hit hard and be aggressive far more frequently than our ultra conservative play has often resulted in. Be Aggressive B-E Aggressive….. cheered at games throughout the country for a reason. it works.

Well atleast ESPN says so, nothing on the site yet.

Aren’t the Bills uniforms elf suits? Oh wait, no—they’re court jester suits.

They don’t practice today, though. So unless you’re talking about mental reps in the film room we’ve got no way of knowing. PFT just quoted the Buffalo News anyways.

I haven’t seen the remix and will make sure to avoid it.

exactly… they knew about it before that. Someone should have stopped that press conf, but it shouldnt have ever been started. I understand he had a good game, rookie 7th rounder with 2 ints but still you couldnt help but to feel bad for him up there. Hes a good kid tho, gotta give him props for stickin it out and going up there and still going thru with it.
