All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
yeah some people jumped the gun on that. He got thrown into a tough situation that first game.
On the play where Bledsoe fumbled, he was in as a Running back- I think the ball was supposed to go to him. After those two returns, I don't blame Mularkey for trying to get him involved more.
I heard though that he just wants to be called Johnathan now though.
His "Fast Freddie" nic came from the fact that he used to watch The Flintstones all the time as a kid and they called him Freddie. Then it evolved into "Fast Freddie" and it stuck so he stayed with it. Now he just wants to use his given name.
He had a nice game this past weekend
The Polian Curse
"They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."
February 4, 1993 Bill Polian at his closing press conferance after being dismissed as GM of the Buffalo Bills by Ralph Wilson.
I thought he needed a lot of work since in preseason he was "Fumbling Freddie" but so far it appears he has learned to hang on the ball. It remains to be seen if he was a blip due to opposing teams not have scouting info on him or will be an asset.
His spin move on that return.... was just amazing.
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?" "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet. You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Some Zoners already hate Losman, too, likening him to RJ. It's really not surprising, then, that Smith would be condemned after one game.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
I thought it was probably a wasted draft choice. When he made a bonehead error in his first game, I was upset, but didn't read more into it than that. He obviously has some special teams ability. For that he's worth a 7th round pick. I don't think he'll ever contribute at WR or RB.
I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.
