Lee Evans would tear it up in the right offense! I fully agree with you on that. I guess the only point I was trying to make is that a physical guy can get it done even when an offense is struggling. Those strength and speed guys can take a short catch and break tackles to make it a huge play. The great ones can snag a ball at it's highest point and win jump balls. This goes along way with average Qb's and inconsistent play.

Eric Moulds was a freak. Andre Johnson reminds me of Moulds and I think it's a great point that he could have really piled up some big numbers with a different team. In comparison Lee Evans doesn't come close to dominating like Eric did and I think that says alot about the two players. I love me some Lee Evans and he is a very good reciever but he is also very limited. IMO to trully be considered a great wideout you need to be able to get it done against any coverage. He just doesn't have that superior strength to fight through physical double coverage and break tackles. The great ones do it all. Eric Moulds was that type of player.

Thanks Cincy I appreciate it. I've been reading here for two seasons now and I think it's a great site. You can't get too worked up, everyones opinion has value. You always bring fresh ideas as well.

You people and your post number are a joke. I have alot of respect for the football knowledge on this site and enjoy talking the game with everyone but come on are you going to haze me next? I don't have a problem with complaints about mediocrity but some of you make it sound like you mope around all day because of the Bills. I've seen people wish death on Marv, wish death on Dick, wish injury upon our own players, threaten to quit being a fan, threaten to boycott products, threaten to publicly protest, and then post about the draft a day later. I reserve the right to call those people an embarassment to the Bills fanbase.

I can't have an opinon because I only have 43 posts? You do have every right to be negative, if that's how you want to spend your time knock yourself out. I have plenty of complaints about this team too and I post them all the time. I also have the right to say that somebody's dramatics are shameful if I want. So run along and flex your 1400 post muscle to somebody else because I could care less.

You are downplaying Levy as a coach IMO, but that's alright you are entitled to your opinion as well. His second tenure with the Bills is certainly open for debate and well ralph is always going to be ralph. I have read alot of your posts over the last two years (read alot before posting). I always enjoy your post game breakdowns and share alot of the same opinions as you. The team is so jacked up in terms of philosophy it's just plain sad. The model should be easy to follow, do what the Steelers, Pats, and Ravens do and play like a northeast team. It is hard to believe that they can't even come close to that.

The Bills are usually in the mix when it comes to free agency. They don't get involved with the top-tier players but they do go after the next best. The Bills need to hit on a couple mid-level free agents and pull 3 or 4 good players from the draft. I suppose thats what all tems need but the organization hasn't had a great offseason in a long time.

I don't know about crowning the 07 Giants as the best team ever. They got the job done against the pats and we are all eternally grateful but lets not get carried away. Eli Manning is still Eli Manning and he'd get exposed badly against some of the alltime greats. They also needed a few miracles to win the one they got. Those Giants really got after the QB but so did many other teams. Just my opinion.

My biggest problem with the Bills this year is that they have no identity. They haven't had one in a long time. Given our current players I would have thought it would be running the football. It turned out to be shotgun formations and vanilla defense. I guess my point is the team should pick an area that is going to be the strength of what they want to do and commit most of their offseason efforts towards that. I want the bills to dominate in certain areas and fill holes later.

That's alot of good info on English, thanks. I think that there are 7-9 really good D-lineman in this draft. If the Bills get lucky and focus on defense, they could really score some talent.

Orakpo and his hype is exactly what we heard last year about Gholston. I think he falls to Buffalo and the team wiil have a very difficult choice to make.

You could be right. I'm sure he's gone over it many times as well. My point is you shouldn't sum up a coachs career based on a few playcalls you didn't like. WTF? The man took his team to 4 SB's in a row and beat solid competition every year to get there. The Bills ran into a couple monsters in the big game. That team would have been a dynasty in alot of other eras. Sorry he didn't live up to Bill's standards.

I agree with you on all points. We should be playing steeler ball but we don't even come close in style.

I can understand taking a stand against Marv the GM but now he was what held the team back as a coach. The Bills were put in a position to win the only superbowl they should have one. The truth is that the skins and cowboys rank up there with some of the greatest teams of all time. Take a break from the crusade your embarassing yourself.

I hate to say it but the 92 Cowboys. I can't think of a team as deep and talented. They are easily my most hated group as well.

The nfl has alot of franchises that don't have anything that can be referred to as glory years. The last nine years have been mediocre no question about it, but in retrospect those glory years put the bills in elite company. Besides you said it yourself we can get alot better in one season. The original poster was trying to say that we are the ultimate losers and that's just not true.

I think evereyone can agree that getting the ball down field a little more is something the offense needs to improve on. It would go a long way in opening things up IMO. Truthfully the blaim lies on a few people. First and foremost, a pass first offense in buffalo, with the current players we have, is plain stupid. Second Trent needs to learn how to let it go a little more. The pass protection has been great at times and it's not logical to think that nobody was ever open. I can remember quite a few times when it seemed like an eternity that he had the ball, only to get a checkdown or throw away. Another quality playmaker at WR or TE would help lee out alot.

I don't think that Edwards mentally is overwhelmed by the complexity of the playbook. I do however wonder if physically he is limiting to a coordinator. His mistakes seem more physical than mental. Many of his interceptions come from under thrown balls or off target passes. His ability to read a defense and deliver to the right guy seems pretty good. Execution is the problem, at least on anything medium to deep. The inability to even take a chance downfield is crippling to a coordinator. Even when given ample time, he doesn't pull the trigger. This makes for a fairly stale game plan. JP on the otherhand was way overwhelmed mentally. HA HA leave it to the Bills, always screwing with us.

I agree the word slow is a tough sell for me at 11. It sounds like he might have an attitude problem as well. I know that some posters want a few thugs on the team but he is not talented enough IMO. I hope they go in another direction.

My apologies, I misunderstood you.

McNabb is a great QB. This is why I think the eagles will ultimately do everything in their power to keep him.

Good point. Making record predictions for next season in January, is not retarded. By the way Favre sucked it up hard last year.

I understand that Jauron is not the greatest coach. I really do get it. I don't however get over the top dramatic and throw in the towel for 2009. The truth is you are the guy that walks around and tries to make a situation seem hopeless. It's not even close to hopeless and your negative outlook must make for a fun life.

You are most likely correct on this. The eagles aren't going to let him walk, after his performance at the end of the year. Kolb has looked terrible besides.

You have a horrible way of looking at life my friend. Why not hope for the team to turn it around in 2009? Does it get in the way of your I hate Jauron agenda? What is more important to you?
