I know I don't read his site too much but I thought thi was interesting enough to post up The Bills are now... 7-16-1 when allowing a safety. 6-1 when Trent Edwards throws for 200 yards. 17-20 against the AFC East since the realignment in 2002. 10-6 when Trent Edwards starts at QB. 8-1 when Trent Edwards has a QB rating above 80. 7-13 when they have a punt return TD. 5-3 in their history in games where there are no turnovers. 12-2 under Dick Jauron when they hold an opponent to under 300 yards. 14-5 under Dick Jauron when they gain more than 275 yards offensively. 13-3 under Dick Jauron when they won the time of possession. 10-3 under Dick Jauron when they score 22 or more points. 19-20 under Dick Jauron. 10-4 under Dick Jauron when they allow less than 100 yards rushing. 10-21 when J.P. Losman starts at QB. 17-8 when Lee Evans scores a TD. 5-0 when each team has a 140+ yard rusher. 13-2 when Terrence McGee has an interception. 22-46 on the road since 2000. 40-25 when the QB throws for over 300 yards. I added the underlines for emphisis Did you know... Trent Edwards has the highest single season completion percentage in club history (67.91%). Trent Edwards has the highest career completion percentage in club history (60.96%). The Bills offense has scored rushing TDs in every game this year. That is only the 3rd time in club history. Langston Walker got the first Bills blocked FG in 108 games. It was an NFL long drought. Lee Evans has more 70+ yard TD catches than anyone else in the league since 2000 with six. Rian Lindell has hit 46 straight FGs from inside the 40, the longest active streak in NFL. Roscoe Parrish is now 1st on the all-time club punt return yards list (1,162) and punt return average (13.51). Lee Evans is 5th on team's all-time receiving yards list with 4,634. Terrence McGee became the 10th player in NFL history to record 5,000 career kick return yards with one team. Lee Evans became the fastest Bill to reach the 4,000 receiving yard mark (tied with Frank Lewis). Terrence McGee has tied a club record with 7 return tds. Brian Moorman is in 2nd place in team history with 166 punts inside the 20. Terrence McGee has a club record 5 kickoff TDs in his career. Aaron Schobel is now in 2nd place on the team's all-time sack list with 68. Brian Moorman has the best career punting avg. in team history (43.27). Rian Lindell had made all 264 extra point attempts in his career. That is a new NFL record for most extra points in a row from the start of a career. Rian Lindell is 1st in team history in FG percentage (84.08%). Lee Evans has caught passes in 65 straight games.

Yes I do, but they are generally slow and skip in and out (I hate when it happens to the games!!!). I just don't really pay too much attention to predictions, I will read or watch to hear some analyis but not for who is going to win. My point was really, I must be bored to be reading his post and quite honestly I didn't mean to offend anyone with my reply.

oops mods please delete didn't see the other thread

http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/players/5178 The Green Bay Packers released Kabeer Gbaja-Biamila, the franchise sacks leader, on Saturday. He used to be good and they play a similar D, no? any thoughts? Has he had an injury bug? I really don't know that much about him but seeing him play in couple of games a few years ago. Should we give him a try out? How big is his contract? We need a pass rush help IMO and more people with truly difficult names.

No I live in Bangkok, so there really are not a lot of other options other than reading stuff I see posted. Video and radio streams are painfully slow (although I have been lucky, seeing Bills games this season). Sorry, you took it personally, just had a thought and posted. Didn't mean it to offend you. BTW, I never "get made" either and could care less if someone picks us to lose, I wait to see it late sunday early monday morning.

why am I reading this? I don't care who you think will win this week. God, I must be bored and unemployed. My perdictions for week 9 The baby will start to show. By 9 weeks thumb sucking begins and the fetus may swallow amniotic fluid. The fetus can also grasp an object, move the head forward and back, open and close the jaw, move the tongue, sigh, and stretch. 19 more weeks before we all start biting eachother and getting really crazy spreading the disease plant wide.

I suggested this a few weeks ago too, with Reed we can REALLY create an imbalance. I would also use our new fullback and I could see trying him lined up at TE on some plays, In some ways I think Turk is not being creative enough.

it would be funny if he won with those numbers ^^^^^

I still don't understand why if they were going to keep Mcgee in there last week, why didn't they put Greer man to man on Ginn? They then use using Simpson as the nickel (like they did in the end last week) and give Scoot the chance to blitz.

They have a FB too. Where is that guy?

My post is much longer but says the same things, good post!

Funny ^^^^^^ I think he stunk again today, I was never convinced he was the answer. I don't know what is either. Try the FB out there he is a big kid.

Actually today I thought it looked like he just couldn't hang on to the damned ball, but I watched it on the internet and there was few replays, this week (what is up with that?). I wish I could have seen the game more clearly, but that was the impression I got.

1. To me this game looked like a college game, I thought this might happen with two young teams and was worried about this one before. The emotion that fish played with, won them the game in the 4th quarter. They were not in position to win before the turnovers killed us. I kept expecting the Bills from 08 (you know the 4th quarter ones) to show up but I kept seeing the Bills from the past out there (you know the "I find a way to lose" ones). They lost the poise and made stupid playcalls and fuxked up the execution on those plays. Both of our lines and the secondary lost the game today, we really need answers to these problems. The important thing with young teams is to get them to stay/play cool and execute, the fins did and we couldn't. I think we lacked emotion, number one (is it Dick's lacking, that does this to us?). That may be fine if things are working out, but the bills needed to get charged and smack back, not lie down and be ready to lose. The players do have to step up but, I really don't understand the coaching today. It was what lost the game in all three phases. 2. Defense first: I think when you have an obviously hurt player getting it shoved down his throat a bunch of times you have to find an answer. Last year, we would have used a rookie because we had no choice, yes we did get some burn that way, but a lot of guys stepped up too. We give Schobel time to heal and speed McGee back in, what was the point? We have backups! if they think McKelvin is going to get burned try Corner! Playing Donte out of position really didn't help this week, I think Miami saw some weaknesses in our scheme last week. Scott is big and tackles pretty well but his coverage? I noted that Ko ended up back in the line up by the end of the game cause Scott/Mckelvin didn't cover or find good angles all day long. Donte had a pretty weak game too, He really didn't look too good in coverage either. I also think the D-line looked pretty f-ing good against the run but I can't imagine why they were not prepared for some wrinkles to the wildcat, it didn't work last week because it was vanilla. So they changed it up (why was that a suprise?)! god! I wish our coaches could learn from that. It hurt us and it shouldn't of. Ellision did play pretty well most of the time, I also thought Copeland had a decent game (backups). I also hate the soft zone when you play Pennington? I just doesn't make any sense, this year Miami has one of the best YPC averages, Pennington has a quick release is smart and hits his targets fairly well (god, why didn't we pick him up? he fits our O scheme pretty well. He is no longer injured and he was a good QB before all of his injuries, he is much better than Losman as he actually thinks before he launches it). Why play off the receivers, put our best player (Greer in non zone coverage)on Ginn like a blanket and make them throw elsewhere.....Penninton is the picture you see in the dictionary when you look up dunk and dink, how do you justify playing off on them? What it comes down to for me, I don't understand why when something so obviously wasn't working we could not try to adjust to it with a personal change instead of a scheme change. Another note; What did Miami do to make Stroud a non-factor? He was invisiable most of the day. I only saw a couple of plays he was doubled on, their guy played lights out on him (esply in the pass rush). Line play was bad in the pass game but the secondary killed us, we didn't adjust and I put on the coaches. 3. The offense: Number one, it was just a poorly coached game. Where is the screen pass? We did it once and I think it shocked Marshwan so much that it was going so well, that he blew it, why oh, why oh why don't we do it again????? The fins D-line is just t-ing off and we have no way to slow it down????? I hated some of the playcalls, Turk, don't out think yourself. You have been pretty good this year but you seem to be keeping things too fundamental at some points and trying to hard at others. Way too many of the desicions today just were bad. When Reed went out and ok, Hardy was obviously not working, let us put a limit on how many times we try to build his confidence and try putting Freddy or Steve Johnson out there in his spot. James H. is not as good as Reed (just not ready). Make Miami adjust to Reeds absence, not US adjust to it. Throw a wrinkle in to the game and adjust through personal AND scheme. Throwing to a doubled up Lee is not going to work, did we learn nothing last year? Trent's bad day: well, it is going to happen (he's young and still learning but the coaches have to help him out, throwing 3 passes out of the EZ, IMO is not helping). Miami obviously also saw weaknesses in how our guys catch the ball. I think we rarely come back for passes and mostly catch in stride, so they covered tight (and well). So we need to change up what doesn't work (hooks and more playaction, other types of plays? we tried the wildcat a few weeks ago why not do it to them?). My point is we need to do things to lossen the coverage up and.......... UMMMMM well, running was working and as I mentioned you can screen. Royal is obviously not a good answer. We have a big FB now, where is this guy and why can't we put him in there more? The running game was the answer today and the Bills didn't seem to know it. Basic tenet of football, RUN TO SET UP THE PASS again, we didn't adjust and I put on the coaches. 4. Bobby April where is our STs? McKelvin is not cutting it and honestly blocking is pretty bad on returns this year. I thought it would take some time to gel as a unit but this is getting bad, we need these guys to step up, please light a fire under their butts, like yesterday! Coverage is ok but we are supposed to have threats and we don't, I honestly don't understand. We are completely mediorce at one of our old strengths (is it the personal Ihdk?), again we didn't adjust and I put on the coaches....... 5. Dick got extended and I think that is a good idea but today was a big disappointment, Dick you are responsible for your coaches and players. A poorly prepared team is not going to win. Miami is pretty good at this point, but that is no excuse, we were out played, had little luck and were out coached, one question for me is how did it happen? we did not let it get out of reach and it shouldn't have. After the game players say we were unprepared? How can it be? We need better or no one will be happy the next three years. You sir need to step up, I know you can do it and have faith in your personal, let's get it done. If you need to mirco manage a bit more please, do it, if you need to gamble please do it, at the right times. When some one is hurt or they are stinking the joint up, personal changes would work better than scheme changes, last year is the proof. A-Train is the proof, please learn from this loss. I have faith in you and obviously so does the FO so please prove your worth in our faith. "again, we didn't adjust and I put on the coaches." 6. 5-2 is still pretty good but being old, I hate to see the fuxkin fins beat us!!! GOD, Dick, I hope you hated it as much as I did. I know Ralph did. I think 11 wins will win the division BUT teams are going to look at film and see weaknesses, we need to adjust. We need to beat teams like this one. We need to win on the road or we aren't going to win in the playoffs. In short we need our coaches to excel. Today that was not the case. I would hope it would improve. Thats all I still think we can get better! I Billieve, GO BILLS!!!!!!

funnist thing I have read by crayons

Have to go with Kemp as the Bill he reminds of most John Hadl could get rattled IMO

Arrgh I was pulling my hair out!!!! Thanks for reminding me, good times.

no it would be Ws and Ls or points which is what I was trying to point out above. We average 25 points (offense) the teams we play average 19.5 (defense) We get the W

The only good thing about Florida Is going to be When Obama wins there after the Bills Oh and my sister who lives near Tampa and is going to the game Go Bills!!!!! kill a dolphin in the tuna net. just for fun

The Bills are giving up 19.6 (I think thats what it is) points per game on average, and the O is scoring almost 25 (24.8) so we are generally winning by two field goals, that is pretty good!!!! Go BILLS!!!!!!!!!!

I know this one becuase I'm old LOL, shite so tempted to answer anyway........

Plus, run blocking is SUPPOSED to be easier than passblocking (I think our guys are just big and not very fast, which also is the reason for your observation above. There is less space for the D in the redzone as they load the box more, so they are just easier to hit). I also think that part of the problem lies in the Bills giving too many clues to when they are going to run (i.e. the huddle time is much faster and some of the formations we tend to run out of) We really need to get these things fixed as they are not issues we want going into the playoffs (going no huddle sometimes?). A couple of other things: where are the screens and delays? It is so nice to see a playaction after the last couple of years but we really need more mix, hope we can do that in the coming months. Last comment: can our new fullback run the ball in short yardage? Lynch is going to get injured if we always use him for it and it is the only thing other teams look for by now. I would have loved to see him in there on our short yardage plays. I was also thinking, as we have had all these TEs as FBs the last couple of years why not try the FB as a TE just to see how it works. My last thought, I wanna see us use a mis-direction wildcat with freddie (have freddy lead block!!!) and marshawn on next sunday (hell, even put JP in for the play, the fish won't know WTF is going on, it keeps JPs head in the game and with the team and it is a surprise, just IMO).

in safari on a mac nothing shows up on the right hand part of the page after it is loaded (which yeah takes too loong) when you try to expand the window to a bigger size. WTF?

Corto is an LB (but on the offical depth chart he is listed as FS) on the roster he is a LB on BB.com anyway. I like him. he really has shown a lot, to even make the team. I read an artical a while back about him and he was converted back to LB during camp and he is happy about it as he feels it fits his style of play better (the coaches thought so too, obviously). He was a OLB in college and even if he is undersized he is a backup for the position (he is by far the lightest LB at 208). I would think they would slid some one with a bit more experience over if Poz went down and use Corto as back up to them. We also have George oh I mean Blake on the squad, but honestly I think the coaches like Corto a lot (maybe more than Constanza). I wonder who he would be back up for as being a FS would kind of suggest he belongs in the MLB spot but he really doesn't have the bulk. I know Corto is a ST PLAYER (I read he made a great play this week but missed it)! And a Buffalo boy. Great story... Reminds me of that guy in that movie with Marky/Mark who was on Phily. Only I think Corto is better. Great to have a fan on the team, IMO he can bring a bit of the history to his teammates. He is one of my fav new Bills.

I dunno Division games are tough, I will be happy with 1-2, we will still be 6-3 although we would be losing ground. I think any one of those teams could give us fits, even if they stink. We can always beat them the 2nd time. BTW great game and GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
