  1. Whitner hit him when he was already going to the turf. I was surprised a flag wasn't thrown.

     

    Ocho Dinko was short-arming passes and taking dives all game long. Recall TJ Housh yelling at him on the sideline.

     

    After his drama queen performance, he had a miracle recovery and got on the team plane that evening.

     

    He's out now - missed the CLE game and will miss this Sunday against KC - tweaked hamstring. I'm sure it's legit - I will say that he plays hurt, and has taken hellacious hits all his career. This injury is bad timing for him - he likes to dog it, but usually finishes strong. Its' messing with his desire to get traded. :lol:

     

    No doubt there are many reasons to question Ocho Dinko( hah I love that) but it was a hard hit that made highlight reels.

  2. The first couple of years I wanted Reed off the team due to his penchant for dropped balls. But, he's done a 180 degree turn, catches everything in sight now and has become Mr. clutch. Him I'd pay. Trade Jason and give the money to Reed, seriously....

     

    Yeah lets give top shelf bookend tackle money to a possesion reciever that seems like a good move.

    :lol:

  3. Seems everyone attributes it to the pass rush.

     

    Definitely a contributing factor. So, how stupid is the coaching staff if they continue with the same scheme that relies on an adequate pass rush, which the evidently don't have, and have not had since Schoelbel was injured?

     

    This is definetly on the pass rush you said we havent had the rush since Schobel was injured but in reality he had one sack in 5 games the D-line in those same 5 games had 7 total sacks. 1.5 sacks a game from the D-line isnt going to get it done in the NFL and it certainly doesnt make our secondary look good.

  4. Schobel averages over 10 sacks per season in his first 6 years. Even with last's years 6.5 sacks, he averaged almost 10 sacks per season prior to this year.

     

    But you're right. Schobel can't get to the QB, and 10 sack per year guys are easy to find/replace.

     

    When you compare his stats to other players who average a similar number of sacks you will find he doesnt register many forced fumbles for a 10 sack player.

     

    Just sayin sacks arent everything.

  5. I think POZ is a good young MLB in the league that is still learning the position. Is he a Patrick Willis? no he certainly isnt but if I remember that draft Willis the player we had tabbed went a pick ahead of us to the 49ers. When you are watching other teams MLB's to compare to Poz make sure to see how the line in front of these players are performing because aside from Stroud I think our D line is quite easy to push downfield or wide of the play.

     

    Bottom line we need some beef if the opponents linemen are driving 5 yards downfield its quite hard for a linebacker to make plays in the backfield or at the line of scrimmage. If I remember correctly wasnt this a big part of the reason London Fletcher made alot of tackles 5 to 7 yards downfield? Is Poz the second coming of Urlacher? no he isnt but he is a solid young player who should continue to improve. Even more so if our D line could hold the line of scrimmage.

  6. So far so good, but I'll count him as a success when he shows some tenure, wins a playoff game moving forward after this very good season. As much as there are Derek Anderson's, there are flash in the pan coaches too. (Jauron in Chi) I'm of the opinion most (not all) screamers lose their teams quickly when things go bad and the players tune them out.

     

    I'd say from a 1 win team to leading the division is a pretty darn good start for a coach. Matter of fact I think it looks like he will finish with a record better than all except one of Jaurons teams.

     

    As far as coaches losing the team in adverse times while the coach is a screamer well I guess you arent very familiar with the Parcells school of football, players who lose intensity are shown the door.

  7. Well I guess I could agree with removing his name for the kidnapping and armed robbery although he is one of the greatest IMO the second greatest RB in team history so I'm not sure it is correct to do so. I suppose it would depend on what the criteria for being honored on the wall is. As far as the murder charges do I think he did it yeah I sure do but the reality is he was not convicted, there was certainly reasonable doubt that was mainly the fault of sloppy police work thus there was truly one possible verdict.

     

    This is the foundation of our whole justice system we cannot begin punishing people for crimes they arent convicted of no matter how strong the belief of guilt is. This is a very slippery slope and to do so would be very unamerican as a matter of fact it would be true Fascism.

  8. Detroit and Buffalo are the only teams without a post-season appearance since the 20th century (Houston excluded). Detroit hasn't had a playoff game since 1999, when Buffalo last made the post-season.

     

    Arizona hasnt been there since 98. Not that that makes me feel any better.

  9. I have to laugh at the people here who truly think Fred Jackson is a better back than Lynch. I promise you you couldnt get one nfl front office man to agree with that statement. I like Jackson I really do he is an awesome back up running back and is the perfect compliment to Lynch, his contrasting style catches defenses off guard who are prepared for the punishment Lynch delivers. If per chance Lynch misses signifigant time which I doubt, it will all become very clear why Lynch is #1 and Freddy #2

  10. That never gets old. Thanks for posting. Just once I'd like to hear Jauron express some angst or enthusiasm. If that happened, we'd be playing Jauron's clip into eternity.

     

    That was really my point in posting this clip what a contrast from stone faced Jauron vs Mora. Not saying Mora was a great coach or anything but he did certainly have passion.

     

    I think alot of Bills fans could be feeling like this as well.

     

     

    I love at the end of that clip the reporter is like K.

  11. Like I said, hell freezes over.

     

    But thanks fo the vid. Love Mora.

     

    "Playoffs!? Don't talk about playoffs! You kiddin me? Playoffs!? I just hope we can win a game."

     

    Classic.

     

    Yeah I think I'm already at the acceptance stage and its getting old being frustrated so might as well laugh. My only real hopes for the rest of the year are to see the young players perform well and see the O line jell enough that they have a desire to come in to camp in better shape. Anything else for me at the moment would be icing on the cake. However my favorite icing would be a real GM and Head Coach.

  12. As fans who pay money to see a good product be put on the field, we have a right to complain. The key word is "complain". We can whine and B word all we want to make ourselves feel better and that's fine, but when people start to get physically violent and act like drunk idiots due to the results of a football game, then those people need a serious reality check. Complaining about sports can be pretty cathartic, throwing things at players is simply inexcusable. How would you feel if you had a lousy day at work and people started pelting you with beer bottles? I haven't personally seen that at a Bills game, but it's happened elsewhere.

     

    Very well put, my manager was at the Cleveland game and sat next to a 75 year old woman and her son from cleveland. She told me that she heard this guy call the woman a f&$@in cu%^. At another point she saw someone bump the lady in the back with a forearm as she was going down the stairs to the bathroom. Now granted they were decked out in the brown and razzin should certainly be expected however, this is absolutly crossing a line. I tell ya what I'm a fan and I will razz an oposing teams fans right along with ya and I am by no means a violent man but if I ever saw someone do that I don't care what colors their wearin I'm gonna try to take their head off.

     

    This reflects poorly on the whole organization because of a few selfish fans. Maybe if the security isn't gonna do the job some of us fans need to start letting the bad apples know that they arent wanted in our bunch.

     

    I realize this isnt really a solution but I couldnt believe when I heard someone would do that to a 75 year old lady and I know if I would have seen that I would have lost it.

  13. We have tasted some good times this year. We have tasted some bad times. But we are better than we were last year. I think we are building to be a force in the next couple years. Changing coaches is not the answer. Providing depth and talent is. TD did a lot of damage and we are still not totally recovered.

     

    Are we really a better team than last year? at the beginning of the year I thought that heck up untill this week I still was trying to believe this. All season I have stated that we are a young team learning to win that was still probably a year away. I'm not so sure anymore, we could run the table but does anyone actually see that happening? TE has taken big steps backwards the O line has played ok which is actually poor considering that was supposed to be a strength. Tight end well at least it looks like Schouman and Fine can run now what do we do for a starter? The D has had moments and played a pretty strong game yesterday but our ends are in need of serious upgrading, at least if we had a stud end we could rotate these other guys. Special teams well I think were in pretty good shape there I'm even giving Lindell a pass he should have made those kicks sure but I'll write it off as a slump the guys been pretty money untill this point. Hey if it comes down to Lindell against the NIners there are deeper issues. Reality is our coaching is horrible as is our playcalling and conditioning I believe these are the true roots of our team unraveling.

     

    So I ask again are we truly a better team? We had a much easier schedule, we were in the driver seat and jumped ship. We appear to have a franchise qb who struggles throwing screens and short passes and is reluctant to throw the long ball.

     

    In a nutshell I believe we will struggle to win another game which will leave us a record of 6 and 10 the worst record in three years from a team with the easiest schedule in three years that is supposed to have more talent than any of those teams.

     

    So if the talent factor is indeed true how can this be anything but abysmal coaching.

     

    I mean weve lost to the Browns and Niners at home how does that make anyone think were an improved team?
