So the defense limited him to being tied for the league lead in interceptions on the second best pass defense in the NFL? Pass defense is not a weakness of the Cover 2. He needs to deflate the ego a little.

My thinking exactly... and I really like McNabb. The Bills need to rebuild via the draft over multiple seasons. I don't think they are one player away.

Maybe Al Davis was right about Lane Kiffin after all...

1. Warner 2. Manning 3. Brees 4. Rivers 5. Favre 6. Romo 7. Flacco 8. Sanchez Just based on who I'd want at the controls of my team right now.

These Peters posts never end. It is what it is. You can root for him or against him, but let's move on in either case. The Bills need to focus on finding a new LT, that's the reality.

This. PS- The kid is fast.

Better off giving it to Frazier or Fewell than him.

This. Those teams had a lot of talent and he just couldn't bring it together. I wouldn't exactly call him a "teacher" either.

I don't think that Rob Johnson was going to lead the Bills to a championship...

Man, you guy's are funny.

Davis is the best.

“Cowher OK with what the Bills will offer Salary wise, but looking for commitment from RB (Russ Brandon) for player budget.” “From everything I am told a contract isn’t the issue. It’s about other things, such as if the Bills will spend on talent and personnel and coaches and other things." Sounds like he wants the Bills to move away from "cash to the cap." I strongly doubt that will happen. I suspect that this was a sticking point with Shanahan as well (who will have no such limitations in Washington).

Wait, isn't he the guy that didn't do jack in Washington with Gibbs?

The Tampa 2 scheme is never going to be strong against the run, especially with today's zone blocking offenses. The linebackers are too open to blockers and the lanes between the DL are too wide. Does Indy have weak defensive players as well? They can't stop the run either. That doesn't mean that the defense can't work in terms of keeping points off the board. If you can drastically reduce big plays (almost all of which come in the passing game) and get off the field on most third downs, then you will stop drives because very few opponents can sustain drives all the way down the field without a negative play or penalty.

Just hire Fewell and get it over with.

Am watching the game right now. He doesn't have a pro arm... and hasn't exactly been accurate either. He is pretty athletic and is obviously pretty smart in running a fairly complex offense. He might be a future Ryan Fitzpatrick. We already have one of them.

Actually, I chartered these planes. I was jonesing for some wings from the Anchor Bar so I had some delivered to me here in Charlotte. I told them to land in Hickory so as not to arouse the suspicion of my wife, as I am on a diet.

3-2, and falling.

Earl is #3 on my list, right after Sanders and Brown. OJ is #4. I'd knock Dickerson off the top 10. Always played with strong OLs, was a fumbler and never got it done in the playoffs. Consider that in 1979 Campbell was voted by coaches in the NFL as the one player, regardless of position, they'd like to have on their team.

My take is that Stroud is on the downside of his career. Given that DLs need a couple of years to mature, the Bills need to take one in this draft. I think that DE is an even higher priority. Kelsay is just another guy and Schobel may retire or, best case, return for a couple more years with declining production. Even if Maybin develops (year right), the Bills need another DE. No way that Stroud has the quickness to play DE either. Maybe I'm not looking at the same LB as everybody else, but when I see Poz I see plenty of speed for an LB just not enough physicality at the point of attack. In the defense Buffalo played this year, he was unable to get away from blockers often enough. That's why so many tackles were made downfield. He might do better in a scheme where the DTs are trying to keep the blockers off of him, otherwise I seem him as more of a weakside linebacker like Mitchell.

Wood-Levitre-Hangartner-Incognito-McKinney. We should have three solid starters and one quality backup out of these five players. This is one area where the Bills are probably OK.

Because Scott is better than him. If Scott could play against 2nd and 3rd stringers all the time, he'd look pretty good too.

Yup.

I'll give them this: of the teams that needed to win to make the playoffs, they are the only one that is playing like it.
