  1. I disagree with the OP in that I don't think Buddy Nix is the problem. In fact, I think he has done an exceptional job in his role as GM. I will say, however, that I thought it was a huge mistake to draft Aaron Williams over Brooks Reed. Brooks Reed was a no-brainer pick IMO, and I was absolutely stunned when Williams' name was called. That being said...hindsight is 20-20....yada yada.

     

    I think the writing is on the wall regarding the QB situation. I suspect you will find that Buddy and Whaley will make upgrading the QB position the #1 priority this offseason.

  2. i definitely think sheppard has to be a contributor.. and certainly chandler has been money, hopefully continues.. i think the LB's have been the achilles heel.. maybe morrison needs to play..

     

    With the exception of the Jets game, I think the LB's (especially Shepp) have been pretty solid. Of course, neither Shepp or Moats played much in the NE game (I think less than 5 plays), so it's unfair to judge the LB's based on that.

  3. It's tough to get handed a new crew & train them to all be on the same page in the first year is going to be tough. DW was given the keys to a Ferrari without the training to drive it, he's actually blown deals like this before as well. You don't spend the most ever for a defensive superstar when you have nothing else really set in stone, it's a go for broke scenario that's pretty risky.

     

    I'm not trying to be totally negative but if the defense fails & the team crashes, heads are going to roll. The expectations are really too high for a new D-coach & a major change in your defensive system, Dave W. is in way over his head.

     

    Yeah, because DW has basically no experience as a defensive coordinator. He's way over his head and should be fired.

  4. I've been watching a lot of college ball this year and have seen almost every one of those QB's play at least once. Geno is, quite obviously, the top choice for QB's at this point. Barkley has taken a nosedive and did himself a disservice by not declaring last year. The Tylers are decent prospects, but I'm not enamored with either, and EJ is good in spurts. Aaron Murray is okay, but I don't see him turning out as more than a back-up. I was only able to see Dysert vs OSU and was more impressed with him than most everybody aside from Geno. His arm is extremely strong, he places the ball beautifully and he was effective in switching calls numerous times at the line after reading the defense. I agree wholeheartedly with Urban. He will be playing on Sundays. If Geno is gone, I wouldn't complain for a second if he was the pick based on my observations from that game.

     

    I agree that Geno Smith is far and away the best QB prospect, but I also really like Tyler Wilson. He reminds me a lot of Drew Bledsoe (I suppose that comparison can be good or bad depending on your perspective). He's got a cannon for an arm, is pretty accurate, and is a good pocket passer. He's not going to get you a lot of yards with his legs, but with a good offensive line, he could be a really special talent. His "draft stock" will fall because Arkansas just sucks. Their defense is attrocious, their o-line is porous, and hus receivers have stone hands. I think he would be an absolute steal in the mid-latter part of the 1st round.

  5. Barkley? Landry? This year's class of QB's looks lame. The time to suck was last year with Luck and RG III being known, clear-cut top prospects.

     

    I disagree...in fact I think this year's QB class is quite strong.

     

    Geno Smith, Matt Barkley, Tyler Wilson, Tyler Bray (if he declares), EJ Manuel, Aaron Murray, and to a lesser extent...Zac Dysert, Logan Thomas, Mike Glennon, and Landry Jones....all seem like pretty good prospects. I'd say that Smith, Barkley, Wilson, Bray, Murray, and maybe Manuel would all be 1st rounders.

  6. I expect the Bills to run by and through Jones a lot on Sunday.

     

    Bingo. Whoever is the first to get their heads in on us is the one we need to run right back. Let Glenn bounce to the LB, let CMac ram Jones. Run on this defense and do not give up.

     

    I can't wait to see this o-line rampage that Pats defensive front. I'm especially excited to watch Glenn pancaking linebackers, and Wood having his way with thay crybaby Wilfork. It's gonna be amped up at the Ralph, and these guys are gonna be mauling people.

  7. Actually, it's probably more of a case of he's rushing himself back. Either way, I know it's the Pats, but I'd rather have him at 100% the following week than put him in a position where he could further injur himself. It's a long season. We're gonna need him down the stretch.

     

    I really don't think Fred wanting to be out there has anything to due with him being at practice. That is not his decision. If he isn't ready, I highly doubt the trainers/team doctors will clear him to play. In any event, he is likely to see a significantly limited workload if he does play.

  8. This would be tough even if you looked like Ryan Gosling. Even if she was interested, she'd probably resist just to spite her father. I wonder if she is "full lesbian," or just a young girl who is experimenting? I know a few girls from high school who fooled around with other girls, and are now married (to men) and have children.

  9. Wasn't that Bell's man who leveled Vick on the last play of the first half resulting in a 95 yard TD fumble return? LOL

     

    Technically yes....but I wouldn't put the entire blame on Bell for that one. It was a very weel disguised safety blitz, and Bell has absolutely no help on that side. If he had tried to chip the safety, the DE would have demolished Vick instead.

     

    Not making excuses though....I watched almost the entire game, and Bell was terrible throughout.
