Hey guess what... Andrew Economos is not unrestriced and is contracted this year to the Buccaneers :) That will be two years in a row of competent long snapping from Economos.

Suck it Fisch!!!!!

Bills2083 · 04-30-2008, 06:22 AM

I'm signing your petition.
We need a new longsnapper!

And the Bills ST dynasty continues...

art vandelay - Syracuse.

Who knows though, maybe he will improve this year. Everyone wanted Lindell's head after the '03 season and now he's arguably a Top 5-10 kicker in the NFL.

art vandelay · 04-30-2008, 12:37 PM

Well McKelvin couldn't take 34 so 28 is nice. Gonna look great shutting down #81.

Boone Stutz is real good and still young, falcon fans are still bummed why petrino cut him. Boone was a fan favorite.

He was cut to make room for Mike ******* Schneck, the best LS in the game, who the Bills cut, who was a fan favorite!

Gotta love Johnson and the # 13.

This could change the whoe personna of Buffalo football. That money will be used to keep our own FA's and maybe sign a few more. We have moved from one of the poorest franchises into the middle of the pack and if Torontonians start buying Buffallo merchandise, with 16 million potential buyers(about 12 millian live in Toronto and its surrounding areas, the rest which could possibly total even more than 4 million and would come from Canadian TV viewers who would get Buffalo as their home games), we could head up into the upper eschelons of team revenue.
Is money asnd revenue important for the Bills, your damn right it is. That revenue and future revenues will insure that the Bills never leave Buffalo and now have a real shot at being a very successful franchise without money problems.
One of the most important areas where team revenue plays a huge part is in having the money to hire a top coaching staff along with a top scouting staff and use the whole salary cap to sign and retain players(Buffalo has never come close in the past to actually using all its cap dollars).

It is a good idea to spread your fanbase north instead of south. No way Giants/Jets fans will adopt the Bills, so go to Canada. I think it is brilliant from a merch standpoint.

619 · 05-02-2008, 10:16 AM

Don't assume close to all football fans in the Greater Toronto Area are Bills supporters. Sure, probably the majority due to geographic implications. Most of us here just wanna see some quality football.

bsaza2358 · 05-02-2008, 10:20 AM

If they can grab even 2% of the Argonauts people away, it will be a coup.

Iamcanadian · 05-03-2008, 07:26 AM

I guarantee you Toronto will sell out the games and Buffalo merchandise sales will take a huge jump. Given a few years the revenue growth could be significant.

SuperMcGee · 05-11-2008, 10:17 PM

OR

Or just talk about how awesome Gerbe is. Can he be more "most outstanding" than Vanek? Will he take the Calder, Conn Smythe, and Stanley in the same year? Will we see a tiny-scrapper fight between him and Roy over the #9? My answer to all is an obvious yes.

fischbowl · 05-12-2008, 06:49 AM

Is it even a question McGee? Gerbe for sure

Didn't know anything about the kid but the story was worth the read. Thought you guys might want to take a peak.

art vandelay · 05-16-2008, 08:19 AM

Should be great RB competition this year and I could see us keeping 4 guys. If we try to release Omon to get him on the PS, he will be signed by some other team, so if we are keeping 3, it's going to come down to him or Dwyane Wright. Wright seemed to be in the dog house last year after that fumble against the Patriots, so I guess we'll see. As fisch mentioned, maybe Omon is being looked at as a FB? Who knows. Either way, I hope he sticks around.

I know paranoidmoonduck loved this guy pre-draft and I think it's hard not to. The only thing he seems to lack is great straight-line speed and I love his running style. He looks very quick in his cuts and runs decisive, low and hard. We seem to lack a true burner at RB, but I like how all of our RB's can bruise and wear a defense down over the course of a game.

art vandelay · 05-16-2008, 08:37 AM

What a stud.

The_Dude · 05-19-2008, 11:35 AM

OK Bils fans, I need your help on this one.

I'm just about to start a FF Dynasty Draft. I pick at 1.09 and since it is an IDP league, there is a good chance that Hardy will be sitting there for me at my pick.

What is the local scoop on this kid... Has he really gotten past his issues (i read the articles posted on this forum), will he step into the starting role from day one? What's the contract situation with Lee Evans? Will that effect Hardy's role with this team?

Any other info that you are willing to give would also be appreciated.

Thanks!

rocco31fb · 05-19-2008, 05:01 PM

Hardy has a very good chance to start from Day 1. But I can see it being a few weeks into the season before he actually does. I think his off the field issues are overblown. I think that he will be a very big impact on the team this season, and the ONLY Red Zone Target the Bills will have.

Lee Evans' contract runs out after this year. They will resign him, but if not, Hardy would be the #1.

The_Dude · 05-19-2008, 07:05 PM

Cool. Thanks

Keep the opinions coming!

drmoyer421 · 05-19-2008, 07:22 PM

Here is an article today about Hardy's situation.. http://buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6085

Sounds like it was a nosey neighbor that blew things out of proportion.

Word out of OTA is he had some of the most spectacular catches in camp today. (not that it means anything)

I think he will start from the beg. of season. If not, he will be used quite a lot and will be a redzone threat.

If you watched any of the Bills game, it wasnt moving the ball that was the problem with Buffalo's offense. Trent Edwards got them down there. The problem with Buffalo is that they came away with 3pts instead of 7pts. Hardy will def. help a ton! Its hard to defend those Plaxico type lob plays in the endzone because your WR is 7 inches taller than the defender.

Eh, our red zone offense was brutal, yeah, but there definitely was a problem moving the ball down there. Our whole passing game was bad, all over.
