having exactly no run defense may be problematic

Run the football + win turnover battle = victory! GO BILLS!

your totaly blowing this out of perportion... are grammer and spelling are fine...

Moats success translates to Buffalo success. I'm going with baseless optimism and think Moats is going to be a real good player for years to come with the Bills.

How about we let the kids finish their season before making a final decision?

I wish they hadn't wasted their time trying to put him at ILB anyways, but I'm glad they've seen the light. Let that man rush the passer!

It most definitely does. 'Screw first round money! Lets tank it and hope a crap team doesn't draft me later on!' WRONG

I just had a pregnant.

Me either... I hadn't thought about the timing of the extension and you're very right. If they let it run out and still wanted him I'm sure there wouldn't be a bidding war and they could 'get' him for cheap. Well he may not have been double teamed, but I can confirm that he was blocked by guys with two legs. Typically it's those ones that give him problems.

I believe the original poster is implying Locker is purposefully sucking so that the Bills don't draft him.

Is there any amount of money that he could be offered that would make you think "I guess that's not so bad."

I don't get it. He was an adequate run stopping DE. Now he's a slow, weak in space, OLB. He has not shown anything for me to believe he should be playing that position. He's a great locker room guy, sure, but what does that get you on the field?

Good read. Thanks for the link.

Hopefully he does better than JP in Seattle!

Typically when there are posts regarding media opinion and how people hate them you inevitably get pulled in. I guess that was my doing this time. MY BAD! Not trying to instigate. More of a comment that it's become an expectation for media related posts.

Just waiting for jw to bring the gauntlet now!

They came in giving Edwards a clean slate. He looked better than the other QB's in practice, so he got the starts in preseason. He looked solid in preseason, at least not poor enough to be usurped by the other contenders, so he got to start in the preseason. He looked rough in the first game, so maybe it was just jitters. Looked exactly the same in week 2, so put him on the bench. The offense was able to score 23 points and have exactly no 3 and outs in week 3. The only change was at the QB position. I concede they were playing against some pretty good Defenses in the first two weeks, but our pitiful offense in those two games helped put them there. There was a progression to their thinking. Edwards wasn't helping the team, and in fact seemed to be hurting it. This is addition by subtraction. They need to find out who can play and be useful this year and who to get rid of. I'm just terrified at the Kelsay extension rumors as he's done very little on the field to warrant one.

I loved the call. Took everybody by surprise and almost came up with it! Can't believe the refs gave New England the ball before pulling the pile apart. That got me going pretty good. I don't know why taking the FG is even a question here. You take guaranteed points that puts you in the lead against a division rival who has owned you for years. With under 30 seconds in the half, you have to believe your defense won't give up the yardage necessary to let the other team score.

I will concede that he's not who I thought he was, at least on the field. I just remember him being a running QB in Atlanta, but I didn't really watch him all that closely.

I absolutely agree that he needs protection, but you can't draft two people with one pick. 1. QB 2. T 3. OLB 4. T/LB/TE/DE

Yes, you draft a rookie QB in the first round if you think he can be your franchise QB. What you saw against New England is what Fitz has always brought to the table: a large pair of ca-hones with a lack of consistency in throwing accuracy. Fitz is a gamer. There is no doubt about that in my mind, but you need to be able to hit open guys in critical situations (in the red zone and in the last 3 minutes when down) to get over the 'almost win' hump.

The problem with that, is when people say 'despite his performance I don't want him on my team' the answer to 'why don't you want him' is inevitably because the dude is a sucky human being.

My assumption was Defensive Pass Rusher = OLB. Since QB isn't on the list, T/OLB are the next two real positions of need. Of those two I would like the O-line sured up first for whatever solution we have for the QB position. After that I see needs at Tight End and on the D-Line.

Bill said he was out of town and was unable to do his thoughts last week. He has abbreviated thoughts this week here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/119955-abbreviated-thoughts/ I think you nailed it overall with every play there was a mistake somewhere that blew it up. Until there is some team-wide consistency it's going to be a long year.

It was Howard, and he looked better than he did preseason. I hope he continues to improve.
