Also, it's that time of year when people defend ****ty preseason performances by saying things like "preseason doesn't matter- just wait til the regular season!"

Because, you know, teams magically get better in a month.

And if EJ and the team looks great you'll say preseason doesn't matter.

I think Tuel takes this award.

Easley, the perennial preseason MVP, will tear it up again and people will once again buy into him being a big deal.

Even though he shoulda been cut years ago.

Just like Stevie should have?

Bell has become a pretty good backup RB for a guy coming out of Division II Wayne State. The Lions like him a lot.

As well they should. Folks may bark about a 3.9 rush average last year, but it is always situational, 166 carries is a decent body of work and 8 tds are quite nice. I'm happy for the youngster - bounced around, stuck to it and now has a solid job.

One thing is a lock.

*****ing like teen girls...I see it's already started.

Discussing a team's poor performance after the game in a message board devoted to the team is not "*****ing."

I don't know why some of you have this bizarre expectation that a message board devoted to a team that has sucked for 14 years is going to be happy-go-lucky, especially after another poor performance (if that's what happens- obviously we don't know that yet.)

And yes, I know, some of you will say "it's the repetition- some of you only talk about the negative and not the positive." Well, two things. First, look at the results. The negatives far outweigh the positives and are defining this team. If it were the opposite,the team would be winning. Second, this board is loaded with repetitive praise for Watkins (who hasn't even played a down yet), Spiller, Kiko, and the DL. Yet, no one ever complains about that repetition. So, don't pretend it's repetition that bothers you. It's something else- most likely being forced to acknowledge unpleasant realities.

Lecter should just have named the thread "OK *****es, time to start your preseason crying"

The usual dildoes have showed up with Spike giving an assist in "Thank You" mode.

I wonder if they're like that because their Mommies didn't change their diapers often enough.....then again, sometimes I think they still wear them.

Are you *****ing about *****ing?

Pre-season starts today. That can only mean one thing...

I'm psyched.

Anyone not on board with that for WHATEVER reason can take a flying leap...take a long walk off a short pier.

Have a nice day.

Re: Pre-season starts Sunday. That can only mean one thing......

I'm going with Kenny Ladler, safety.

Re: Pre-season starts Sunday. That can only mean one thing......

Buffalo fans love their local guys with ties. I'm going with Miami Hurricanes linebacker and Canisius High School standout Jimmy Gaines. Colby Way, DE from UB is my dark horse because he is the Ryan Denney High Motor preseason award winner.
