      I'm disappointed. I thought there'd be more.

      Yes, tell me though to see if we're on the same page?

              Nobody can quite be sure what page you are since you're trying to compare collegiate stats and apply them to the NFL.

              But since you asked Phillip Tanner spent 5 years in college playing in 36 total games, Brown spent just over a year playing in 14 games. Of course his stats are going to be greater than Brown's he only has 326 more carries. Also a total of 0.1 YPC avg difference between the two.

                  What kind of a question is that? Love to see more of it. You say that like I came down on it. I don't think I've commented until now. You've gotta stop reading what others say that I said or didn't say. They're full of **** most of the time.

                  Where was that against New England though? Or Chicago? If he shows up to half that in Chicago we win in regulation. Or San Diego, a home loss?

                  Watkins has shown up three times in seven games. Was that a breakthrough, can we expect to see more of that, or is he now going to disappear for two more games before showing up against Miami again?

                  Had you considered that Minnesota's pass D is almost identical to ours? In light of that is it as impressive as the numbers might suggest?

                  Here's the more important thing to look at and take away from that game, what did this offense look like without Sammy's contributions? Let's not forget that this was Minnesota, not Denver, and that the game was at home in one that we should have walked away with on both sides.

                  What are your thoughts on our highly ranked run defense allowing 5.4 yards-per-carry and 158 total yards to a RB named McKinnon and the Vikings with no pass support to even plan for? All I hear is everyone crowing about our marvelous rushing D but I'm trying to figure out why it's only top notch when the RB sucks and sucks anytime we play a decent RB. Forte 4.8 ypc. McKinnon 5.4 and he's not even good. He's a 3rd round rookie from a nothing school that has lit us and Atlanta's 2nd to last ranked defenses up.

                  I'd be somewhat concerned about this top-ranked rushing D as the offenses we face become tougher. What are your thoughts?

                  I see us not being ranked near the top in rushing for much longer.

                      Well, there's a problem here. Here's what it is. Many posters here argue with me no matter what I say. When you, or anyone, takes a contrary position, it leaves me to assume that you think the opposite. What kind of a psycho would argue when in agreement, right?

                      So I'm often left to assume that based on the argumentative positions of others that they think contrary to what I put out there.

                      I do my best to respond do individual posts. I cannot help it if others then reply in manners that have no substance and begin just laying out falsehoods and the rest. That's the risk we all take here. At least I recognize that.

                      But really, there were threads about an "elite D" that had the support of quite a few posters which seem to have all now vanished since no one seems to want to suggest that anymore. Same with our RBs, DL, and WRs and a while back our secondary to a lesser level, not elite, but good. Now all of a sudden we're to believe that they are a below average group based on what I'm reading, which has been unwavering position all along.

                      - - - Updated - - -

                      By the way, I'm still waiting for feldspars response to my post above that and his answers to my questions. You can take a crack at them too bd, feel free.

                        Re: Bills sign RB, after trial and failure

                        What is the point of this thread.

                        It is almost like the original poster is trying to trash the Bills Front Office because they could not get the two practice squad guys they wanted.

                        Just for their clarification once a player is signed to the practice squad they can be signed by any team in the league. However, if said team promotes him to the 53 man roster then they keep him no matter what.

                        In both cases the bills target was promoted. This says that the bills at least targeted guys that were wanted and shows they do have some skill when scouting pro talent.

                        That said it sucks they did not get either of those guys because I think both of them may have had a future on this team. Tanner does not and will be cut once CJ returns.

                        I also believe CJ will be gone and will draft a RB in the second or third round. Look at a guy like Mike Davis from South Carolina.

                          What's the purpose and point of most threads after the initial rounds of posts.

                          You have to dance around the piles of poop to find something to interact with someone over and then when someone posts an intelligent, coherrent, and well thought out response posters here regularly send out their dogs to go poop all over the yard making the responses of others to the more serious posts that much more difficult.

                          This place is like a party after midnight. Anyone that doesn't have beer goggles is considered to be problematic.

                            You have to dance around the piles of poop to find something to interact with someone over and then when someone posts an intelligent, coherrent, and well thought out response posters here regularly send out their dogs to go poop all over the yard making the responses of others to the more serious posts that much more difficult.

                            This place is like a party after midnight. Anyone that doesn't have beer goggles is considered to be problematic.
                            To be clear, you think that your point on comparing their college numbers qualifies as an intelligent, coherent, and well thought out response?

                                To be clear I was being entirely sarcastic.

                                Would you like to address the primary topic though.

                                It doesn't change the fact that Brown did nothing relevant in college, absolutely nothing.

                                So what is all this hope based on two or three games built on? Just that, nothing more.

                                Can we then use that to suggest that any RB in the NFL that plays two or three good games is starting material?

                                Start there if you really want to discuss this.

Your way to deal with it is to constantly ***** and denigrate any move, any result concerning the team even if it's positive because you don't want your whittle feewings hurt again. It's a protection mechanism.

                                You shroud your childish approach in a vale of pompous, intellectual garbage in an attempt to look smart and "real". You over-analyze even minute points and manipulate statistics to fit your negative view of the team. Again, to feel good about yourself and to protect from getting hurt.

                                Of course, the criticisms are obviously from someone who has no understanding of the team concept or what it takes to excel at athletics.

                                The true "realist" understands that they have no control of what happens on the field or behind the closed doors at One Bills' Drive, so they do the prudent thing for a spectator. They enjoy the games on Sunday with family and friends, cheer for their team and realize that it's just entertainment.
