Lynch needs to lose some weight.

[LtFinFan66]

couple of ducks

[The Juice Is Loose]

Lynch does look kinda husky

[BillsWin]

At least Owens is getting a long with his teammates. He seems to fit in Buffalo very well.

I agree.. I believe he bulked up this offseason, but I don't know why anyone would have advised him to do so.

Maybe he just got lazy with all the time off.

I remember reading info about Marshawn trying to get up to approx. 230lbs for this year..

Again I don't know who thought that was a good idea, and I think that is one reason why he regressed this year

I know others have discussed this already during the season too.

I dont get that. Why would he want to put on weight. When he was coming out, all his highlight videos had him slim and trim and making electrifying plays. He looked very agile and it helped him beat defenders.

I really think he bulked up too much and it made him slower.

God knows it takes a few guys to bring him down tho.

Maybe the writing was on the wall that Jackson was going to take his job. He is now going to try and hold down the fullback (or an Oline position). :lol:

Same thing happened to the Texans' Steve Slaton. He bulked up and lost a lot of effectiveness.

I hope T.O. stays here. Looks like he enjoyed the leisure time at practice in the 1 minute clip there.

[trapezeus]

how can two professional football players throw the ball sooooo poorly?

good clip though.

[Pinkerton Security]

ugh...how far did they throw the ball?

also, just because it was a little wobbly doesnt mean anything, peyton manning doesnt necessarily throw the tightest spiral and he seems to get the job done.

[G Wolly]

That looked to be about 40 yards Id say.

Besides, their job isn't to throw the ball.

I have been asking the same question about TE and Fitzy all year long.

I was going to ask if that wasn't supposed to read T.O. and Tony Rocky Horror.

I am pretty sure that Lynch shoes up a little slimmer and ready to go for about 1,400 next year. I hope it is with the Bills.

I also hope T.O. is here next year. He actually adds a much needed element of fun, as well as intensity to this team. It would go a long way for our new QB if they could manage to throw the ball in the general vicinity of T.O. and Evans.

[trapezeus]

those weren't like partially wobbly. those were super wobbly. i get that they don't have to throw the ball, but guys in the parkinglot throw better looking passes.

Those were on the crazy end of the spectrum in terms of ugly looking passes. that being said, they launched them a good deal. i was just surprised they didn't knock each other for the wobble.

[ParanoidAndroid]

They heaved that from the opposite 40 if you look closely.

Interesting that their ability to throw a spiral is being critiqued. Funny actually....

[imbondz]

I think TO is hilarious
