"When the Bills passed up on me, I was like ‘OK, hopefully I’ll just get drafted,’" Ngata recalled. "I thought the Bills would draft me and they didn’t, so I just kind of looked down the line to see who else wanted me and fortunately Baltimore came and picked me up."

"I wouldn't be here if they didn't trust me and trust in my ability," Howard said. He has played in the first five games, either as an injury replacement or to enable others to rest. This week, he'll be part of the starting unit because Green is out with an undisclosed injury.
Clayton: Players Hypocritical About Bad Hits - WGR 550 SportsRadio
"I was not a big advocate of the 3-4 defense...I may be critical of the overall team talent, but I'm very high on the secondary and the depth of that secondary. It's young, it's got great young players, it's as deep as any secondary in the league...I think Kyle Williams can do better in a 4-3 than a 3-4"

Ha. I’d have never written that Ngata/Oher post if I knew it’d turn into a week-long thing. I really did want to get it out of the way. :)

We all hang out in this cozy section of the interwebz, thinking we’re pretty secluded because it’s the Bills we discuss, but people definitely take notice of the block party going on here.

So
Maybin lives in Baltimore during the off-season. I hope he works out with Ray Lewis & pals so they can teach him.

They must be
holding back. You’d think at least osmosis would occur to some extent.

I remember when I first heard he was training with those two I was so excited… I thought we really, really had someone that not only was dedicated… but going to be one helluva pass rusher…
I think hes dedicated… but the pass rushing, ehh… Maybe he’ll start to come around (please).
Buffalow :-(
He’s dedicated to the bench.

Oh god
I’m gonna be calling him Geoff Haumgardner from now on. That actually made me forget how to spell his name. lol
The player I would like least at #9 would be my sister’s cat, Captain Creamsicle. She does have a great work ethic and agility, but I’m really concerned that at 9 lbs., she’s too small to play safety in the NFL. She also bites way too often on play action and is easily distracted by someone waving string in the crowd. Lastly, her wonderlic score was pretty awful, answering "meow meow meow" for most of the questions- Dr. Brackish Okun

Wow. If that doesn’t make you want to strap that chin strap on and demolish the Ravens, I don’t know what will.

Culpepper was pretty wise with his comment.

Says it all
Those numbers indicate the Bills are closer to the UFL than they are to the best NFL teams.
The Chan Plan – I believe in cutting, trading, or releasing my starters….and if they really suck, sign them to an extension.

he was talking about Vegas spreads there and that’s why his argument made no sense at all if you think about it….
he admits that spreads are a reflection of the game itself (a team gets up on another team and then changes their approach to speed up the clock.) Essentially, it could be the Saints vs. your local community college and the spread on such a rediculous game would NOT be +250 because no one would bet the Saints would bother put up so many points while trying to score a few cheap easy touchdown and then sit everybody and milk the clock the whole time because they could.
Spreads are a reflection of the nature of the game by far more then they are a comparison of talent. Then he applies this argument it to the Bills vs. another NFL team and he forgets that princple.
CJ, don't SPILLith thy Kool Aid.
Honestly though,
Why are the Bills the butt of these jokes when it’s quite clear that Carolina may be even worse?

It was noted in that UFL article that the Panthers and Bucs have the most players under 24 years of age in the NFL. Buffalo is about middle of the pack in the list. They have a built-in excuse for being bad. We, on the other hand, do not.

I think because of the number of veterans, the Bills would beat the Panthers…so they wouldn’t be the worst team. Tim Graham should have penned an article asking who’d win in a game between the Panther and Bills.

But his page views, down they would go.
