Bills turning up heat under new D-line coach : Buffalo Bills : The Buffalo News
Buffalo Bills defensive line coach Bob Sanders showed his players video replays of every sack recorded in the NFL in 2008 during the course of the offseason. "That's his main focus," Ryan Denney said. "Everything's about getting to the quarterback, less focus on the run game, the run depth. More on playing fast and getting to the quarterback. Hopefully that will pay off."

McCargo, Nelson doubtful – Inside The Bills
Nelson told Buffalobills.com that his shoulder feels a lot better now than it did earlier in the week. So keeping contact on that shoudler to a minimum has perhaps paid off. But being listed as doubtful suggests otherwise.

So a 26 year old guy is trying to find an NFL team to love. The Bills are the leader right now on the strength of being the first team to reply to a letter he sent all 32. It's pretty funny.

Single White Fan stuff is actually pretty funny.
Trent is a better QB then Romo (so far this season). TO probably agrees… although it would be nice to see TO’s breakout game as a Bill this weekend.
Is Ross Tucker another self-loathing Buffalonian? Seems like he never has anything nice to say about the team… and this guy played for us?

Actually when he was at camp he said a lot of great things. Tucker is being honest. Why should anyone give the Bills a chance? The Saints are playing out of this world!
The thing about T.O. was in response to his dropped passes. He thinks he is overrated because he doesn’t catch every ball that he should. That is a valid consideration, though strongly worded.

True enough. I guess that I just took exception with how strongly worded his quotes were.
As for no one giving us a shot. What’s that line again? Any given Sunday…

Dropped passes dropped passes
The ONLY reason TO’s dropped passes stand out is because he’s TERRELL MF’ING OWENS. It’s just another way for the media to take him down. You know who has the same number of drops this year? The supposed best WR in the game, Andre Johnson. Steve Smith has one more than TO. Fred Jackson has the same number.
I’m not going to go and search for the research that I did when we signed TO unless I have to but basically the reason that TO seems to drop a ton of passes because he’s one of the premier WRs in the league and is targeted as often as one should be. More balls thrown your way is going to translate into more drops. TO actually dropped a lower percentage of passes last year than some of the supposed sure hands guys. If I remember right the only big names that outperformed him were Andre and Fitzy. Calvin Johnson, Steve Smith, Brandon Marshall, Moss… the list that actually performed worse was staggering but of course it’s all about TO. And he’s declining? His stats last year were right around his career averages at an age where he’s supposed to be falling apart.
I used to like Tucker but he’s quickly becoming just like every other ex-NFL jock that is employed by the media.

And to continue on with this theme.
Didn’t see them so no. RT: @Deltroy @SI_RossTucker Steve Smith had a few drops the first two weeks are you gonna tweet about them also???
They didn’t happen because he didn’t see them.

Common, did you expect anything different?
TO has been public enemy number one ever since he publicly called out McNabb for under performing. The media story on that McNabb was playing with an injured ankle on his non throwing leg. Meanwhile they totally forgot how TO dominated the SB the previous year WITH A BROKEN FREAKIN’ LEG!!!!!!!!!!
If anyone had the right to call out McNabb, it was TO! After all a sprained/broken ankle on your non throwing leg of a QB has much less significance to the performance of a QB then a borken leg has on the performance of a WR. TO was RIGHT to call out McNabb.

Nope and that's why I defend him any chance I can.
When he originally signed I didn’t like it. Mainly because I lived in Philly during his years there and a) hated how damn good he was (and was jealous) and that he put the Eagles over the top and I hate anything that makes Eagles happy. b) saw how quickly a team and fans can turn on him and didn’t want that rift to happen here.

If theres one thing that most of us here can assure you of is that Bills fans are TOTALLY different from Eagles fans. We actually like our team ;-)

That Tecmo game was awesome! I forgot the Travolta-esque disco pose the kickers did after a field goal. The cheesy cheerleaders at halftime are great too.
No weekend spent pantsless is a wasted weekend.
Heck yeah. PFR does mroe of those – they did the Stokley catch last week from Week 1.
