Cover-Your-Eyes Awful

Okay, so let’s face it. The last two preseason games have not exactly been encouraging.  I was willing to maybe give them a pass on Carolina with Joe Bugel’s daughter tragically passing, but they didn’t look much better against Jacksonville.  I could be like some Eagles or Dallas bloggers I know and come up with [...]

Bills Game Wrap-Up

Sorry for the slow wrap-up.  Undoubtedly you went elsewhere for one while I was at the beach with my family. So rather than describe the game, I’ll just hit you with some random thoughts:
- Another big mo game.  I’ll keep saying it every time even if we go 5-0 in the preseason, pre-season means nothing.  [...]

Saturday Preview

Just a preseason game, but hey, its football, and we’ve been told the starters will be out there an extra series or two. Obviously, in his short time in DC, Coach Zorn has discovered the Rag, because just as a blegged in my Wednesday post, JZ has seen fit to get Portis into action. This [...]

Jason Taylor’s Secret Motivation Technique

Matt Mosely did a nice little interview of Jason Taylor over at ESPN.  I won’t talk about it too much.  I’ll let you read it.  But there is one little detail was that Mosely said that Jason Taylor used to motivate himself in his first training camp with a card that said, “1. Make the [...]
