Roscoe was a 2nd round pick, is still very young at 27, and led the league in punt return average up until this year. I'm tired of people thinking our players "have no value". This has been the mentality of the Bills fans for too long. If you don't think TO is worth a 3rd or more, you're crazy as well. We need optimists in our fan base, our organization, and our players. No more glass is half empty BS.
Punt returners are a dime a dozen. Parrish can't play receiver so how much would you pay for an above average returner who plays maybe 5 plays a game?
The Bills are much better off keeping him on the roster as an extra body until the season is over and then trying again to deal him. If they can't, he'll get cut in training camp.

Fisher has lost his mind... "I wanted to feel like a winner"?! Can you imagine Jauron doing this? HA! Actually, it would be pretty funny if it was Jauron...
-
Jauron is a decent defensive coach. That's what got him a head coaching job originally. Too bad that he has no clue about anything else...
-
At the end of regulation, didn't the Bills still have one timeout when they let the clock run down from 26 seconds to attempt a field goal on second down? At least run another play... unless you're worried that they'd go offsides or lose yards like they did on the previous one. If they were willing to throw it, they could've run two plays. I guess they thought that a long Lindell field goal attempt into the wind was money in the bank.
Time management is not a Dick Jauron strong point.
-
I love how you guys blame Jauron for something a player says.
I'm pretty sure that Jauron caused my hard drive to crash last week after the Cleveland Fiasco.

If we had Poz and Kiawaka on the outside LB positions and got a big/tough MLB in draft I would be ok with next year at this position. Keith could be a backup/4th LB in case of injuries as we are undersized here I think right now. Poz is too small and seems injury prone yet seems real fast and could do the OLB position as he is goo din coverage.
Agree.
-
The biggest rushes came when the backs cut back across the line (not where the play was designed to go). The opposite side DE's were crashing on the line instead of keeping contain.
Williams has been in the backfield all year and has been doing a very good job.
That's what I saw too. The DE's losing contain and the linebackers over-pursuing. There were a couple of straight ahead dives off tackle, but very little between the tackles. For the Bills to improve against the run, not only do they need better linebackers, but they need better DEs also.
-
Suh will be #1 or #2 overall, so I doubt that the Bills will have a shot at him. Buffalo had better not take a QB either, unless they want another one to get his butt kicked and lose his confidence behind a poor OL. The pick HAS to be OL. From what I read, the best is OT Russell Okung from OK State. Several preliminary mock drafts have TB taking him, if they finish worse than the Bills, but he would be the guy to target even if Buffalo has to move up a spot or two.
BTW- If the Bills finish so badly that they draft #1 or #2 and Suh is available, they should absolutely take him. Take the best available player in the #1 or #2 spots regardless of position and Suh is the guy.
-
Where is Joe Namath on these lists? He was better than half the guys being talked about (like Bradshaw). I doubt that many QBs could've played in Namath's his era and put up the numbers he did. Also, Montana was great but he is the #1 beneficiary of the changes in passing rules and Bill Walsh's "west coast offense". If Dan Marino would've played for Walsh people would be talking about his records like they do about Gretzky's in hockey.
As to the original question. I think Kelly was slightly better than Fouts. Fouts was a great passer, probably even better than Kelly, but he lacked Kelly's leadership skills. If I had to take one for a big game, it would be Kelly.
-
Yes. More than any other position in the No Fun League, the QB is developed by the pro staff. The pro passing game is very different from the college game. That is why coaches like Mike Holmgren or Mike Shanahan always seem to have all pro QBs while Dick Jauron's QBs always stink.
-
I can't wait for Sunday. This game ought to be an apocalyptic display.
Look, the Jets aren't that good. It's the NFL and the talent disparity between any two teams is not that dramatic. It's not like Florida is playing UB or something. The Bills may get spanked, but they will be competitive (for at least a little while).
-
Really? I think permitting over 200 running yards in 2 out of the last 3 games and having very little interior pressure on the QB qualifies as a problem.
Plus, the guy could play end in a 3-4 or DT in a 4-3.
The problems against the run are the linebackers, IMO. The DL has been very good, especially Stroud and Williams. Just look at their tackle totals. They've also generated a decent pass rush, although the DL still needs to improve in this area. I'd be for picking up Seymour if he could replace Kelsay and DE. Otherwise, he would be a good rotational player for a year or two with Williams and his price tag is probably too high for that.

Head coach of the New England Patriots

Miami went from 1-15 to 11-5 in one year. It can be done.

I know that things look bleak right now, but after thinking about a healthy Bills roster, I think that the Bills are one good draft and a new head coach away from turning things around.
On offense we have two good running backs, a good interior OL, solid WRs and a good TE prospect. We need to draft a LT obviously. Given our record we should be able to get a very good one. If Brad Butler comes back, we may only need one new starter. We will also need another WR to replace TO. I think the key on offense will be a new coach and system to help TE. He is regressing every week but I think that he can be salvaged. Frankly, he was probably getting better coaching at Stanford than with the Bills.
On defense we have a strong interior with good DTs and middle LB. We are deep at corner. We could use a bigger linebacker to play on the running downs and some future prospects at DE and DT but the rest is there.
So...
A new coach - the key.
LT (starter)
LB (starter)
WR (prospect)
DE (prospect)
DT (prospect)
We can do this next year.

What was the problem on defense? They allowed 6 points and 3 of them were a gift from our special teams unit. I'm sure we'll see Nic Harris now that everyone else is hurt.
As for Steve Johnson... we could add Jerry Rice in his prime to the mix and he would probably not register a catch.
-
Do they put up a new one every week, or just run the same one over and over? It's not like any of the answers change...
-
take the nail out of your head. Nine (9) false starts, muffed punts, etc...equals my head is not in the game, that is coaching folks....DJ is clueless fire him now!!
+ 3 wasted time outs, throwing a hail mary instead of trying a long field goal into the wind, absolutely no half time adjustments.
-
It's definitely the worst offense ever... at least that I can remember, all the way back to 1979 or so.
-
That was the worst football game I've ever seen... possibly the worst professional game ever played.
Both offenses were utterly inept. Cleveland won even though their QB completed 2 passes all day. What was his QB rating? 4? It's not like the defenses were dominating. The Bills couldn't do anything because of atrocious offensive line play, a ridiculous number of penalties, poor decision making by the QB, wasted time outs and bad coaching. Cleveland was no better. Their receivers can't catch a cold and they couldn't even run it on a Bills team with only one starting linebacker left playing. What was Eric Mangini smiling about after the game? Isn't he supposed to be an offensive genius?
This was truly painful to watch. It was like a blooper reel that lasted an entire game.
-
How can you possibly judge any player who is being coached by Jauron accurately? DJ can turn a HOF wide receiver who has averaged over 1,000 yards and 10 tds per season over his career into a non-factor. If Edwards spent a couple of years playing for Mike Shanahan, I'll bet that he would start to look a lot better.
-
Do you mean we were actually favored to win one of our first 4 games?
Yes. Against Tampa Bay.
-
Here are a couple:
- don't give him a checkdown option under 10 yards upfield = sack before anyone gets open
- Tell him if he wants to stay in the game, on passing plays he either passes the ball for more than 10 yards or he MUST run it himself. Maybe a few good pops and he'll decide throwing it doesn't sound so bad. = sack before anyone gets open or injury to the QB
Any others? Brilliant replies only, please.

i was the one posting last season about how i would take rodgers over the glove wearing mary any damn day. and you all ripped me a new one for speaking my mind which turned out to be the truth. just like most of you ripped me when i first joined this board and blasted dick jauron as the team's weak link, just like most of you did when i predicted a '09-'10 3-13 season
Wow! You're smart.
