PFF: 2011 Elusive Ratings

"Topping that list was Buffalo’s Fred Jackson, who managed 3.75 yards per carry after contact, the best mark in the NFL by a margin, and almost a full yard more per carry than most running backs"

"Jackson’s season in particular deserves some focus, because he was leading the way in the Elusive Rating standings for much of the season until injury ended his year prematurely.

From 18 games to 34 teams? Not feeling you at all right now Roger...

This topic came up about a week or so ago, and now a website has been put up to actually voice your opinion about ending blackouts. Personally, I think I'm for the FCC lifting blackouts, especially since my slingbox resides in Buffalo...

"There are some rumblings that a front office shakeup of some sort in Buffalo is not out of the question". -- Jason La Can Fora

Just rumors at this point it seems...Wonder what the "Rumblings" are....

Un.Freaking.Believable......

Maybe I'm being insensitive, but to liken Stevie's TD celebration to 9/11 is borderline ludicrous.

Decent read....Kris Jenkins discusses some of the health issues that come with being a NFL lineman

July 31, 2011 11:45 a.m. - by Mark Ludwiczak - Free-agent LB looks on as Bills practice
Free agent LB Nick Barnett briefly talked to GM Buddy Nix after watching the team conduct a walk-through. Said Barnett with a smile: "You on the phone?" The Bills are currently negotiating with Barnett's agent, Chuck Price. Bills RapidReports

"Quarterback is the most important position in sports and most of the time teams find their quarterback through the draft. Making the wrong selection can set back a franchise substantially while making the right one will make you a contender for the next decade. But, how can you know if you’ve gotten the next Peyton Manning or the next Ryan Leaf? Well I’ve put together a checklist to make sure your team doesn’t make a terrible mistake next Thursday." -- Kyle Hughes

Another nugget to add to the QB debate.

Didn't see this posted yet.

By Scouts Inc.'s Matt WilliamsonThe Dolphins and Bills are opting for smaller, faster nose tackles. What impact does that have on their 3-4 defenses?

Didn't see this posted here yet...

Chek it out:

ON YOUR MARK…GET SET…. GO! We're making it easy to win a chance to meet Marshawn Lynch, Paul Posluszny, Aaron Maybin, Donte Whitner or Brian Moorman!

Bills CB McKelvin willing to forgive vandals

``It's just one little incident. I hope it doesn't happen any more,'' McKelvin said following practice. ``I was mad, I was kind of like angry in a way, but I was laughing a little bit for what they put on there.'' McKelvin is being partly blamed for the loss after his fumble set up the Patriots winning drive. He discovered the vandalism shortly after returning home from the game.

Way to be the bigger man Leodis (sorry for copying the entire article...was'nt sure if the link wouldgo thru)

NFL Network showing us some love. Gotta love Stroud's comments about BB "might be watching" at the end and the back and the back and forth w/ him and Marshawn Lynch

Saw this over on TSW -- Thought it was pretty funny, especially considering Buffalo has some of the biggest Homers out there

My personal fav's:

Buffalo Bills "Brian Moorman could play WR or RB on half of the teams in the NFL because of his speed"

Cincinnati Bengals "Carson Palmer could throw a football through a needle from 40 yards away.... twice"

Oakland Raiders "Nnamdi Asomougha could get pressure on the QB and make an interception on the same play. Best. Of. All.Time."

Per Clark Judge -- CBS Sports

"I'm not happy with the way I've been playing the last three years,".

Well, John, neither are we.....

And 2 for the price of one.....

Very nice article by Tim about Aaron Maybin. The more I from and hear about this kid makes me seem like we made a great pick (if he pans out on the field -- still skeptical).

My favorite part of the news conference was when Peters said, "It blew my mind, first and foremost, for them to trade me." - Writes Tim Graham

Nice read compiled by By Hondo S. Carpenter Sr. over at spartannation.com. Nothing really new, just a different take on things..

The Jets have reportedly begun monitoring Jay Cutler's situation in Denver.
New York has claimed confidence in Brett Ratliff and Kellen Clemens since Rex Ryan's hiring, but would "never say never" to a player of Cutler's caliber. The Jets probably would need a three-team trade with a club like the Lions or Eagles to get Cutler. Gang Green doesn't have enough ammo as it stands.

Doesn't seem likely right this second, but definitely something to keep an eye on....

Damn! Is it too early to cut T.O.? Maybe we can use him as trade bait for "Q"

(joking guys....well....kinda)

And another one bites the dust,,,,I really wanted this guy in here, I hope that T dot O doesn't mean we're done.

Same $ we offered, more potential playing time...Makes sense

Nothing new here really, just a different take on Marshawn's troubles.

SIDE NOTE: Anybody heard about this yet? What was the tender?

"The Bills guaranteed Jackson’s return Tuesday by making a tender offer to the exclusive rights free agent. Thursday is the deadline for teams to tender exclusive rights free agents. Jackson, who is entering his fourth season, will earn a minimum of $460,000 in 2009."

Washington (6’3" 215) was released by the New England Patriots on Feb. 1. I think somebody brought his name up not too long ago

FYI...

Not sure if you guys saw/heard this yet but it looks like Fat Albert is going to the Skins....

It's been all over the radio down here in M.D. as well....My co-worker damn near fell from his chair when he heard the report
