    The Pack game-planned this one

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    What do you suppose Dick and his staff do when they're not game planning?

     

    There's nothing good on TV, and Buffalo isn't exactly Las Vegas.

     

    Maybe counting backwards from three?

     

    BTW this is about the 13th time, so far, they've (some moderator) deleted this very same comment.

     

    Somehow, it must violate the TOS. Probably the rule about "NO FUN!".

     

    Simon, do you think that nobody sees what you're up to here? BTW, what's the title of your thread, and how is my post off topic? Explain...

     

    ...and thanks for the threatening PM.

    We won't know what kind of team we have til week 9

    Everyone jumps to conclusions in the first 3 weeks of the season. SB contenders are declared. -And as usual 70% of the teams looking good the first 3-6 games of the season look like hell by game 9. And vice versa.

    There are a few sure bets..NE and uhmmmm....hmmm..I really meant a few. The baltimores and the Jacksonvilles and even now the Colts and the Cowboys.You don't know if these teams are going to be 12-4 or 7-9. Even PITT could end up 8-8 this year.

     

    According to the tenets of statistical mechanics, you cannot even know both the position and velocity of an electron.

     

    By week four, the Bills could could be a yeast infection annoying Paris Hilton.

    One Game Does Not A Season Make! Especially Preseason!

    Some thoughts (JMO);

     

    1. Almost nobody on the first team looked anywhere close to good. IMO, that's a good thing since it's still preseason. I'd much rather they get schooled during the pre-season than in the regular season. Good teams bounce back with a strong showing the week after an embarrassment like that. The game against the Squealers should go a long way toward seeing where they really stand.

     

    2. One game, especially in the preseason, doesn't determine the forecast for an entire year. They can still put it together. There is plenty of time. Anyone saying 3-13 is way off base here. I don't know what their record will be but I definitely think another 7-9 season is the worst they'll do.

     

    3. TE was schooled last night. Hopefully he learned a lot. Holding the ball against a great D with this O-line just isn't gonna cut it. Also his play calling is weak against a team like GB. They didn't do NH much this game but he still has the ability to change the call at the LOS.

     

    4. Schonert needs to re-evaluate the way he attacks 3-4 defenses. The gameplan, IMO, was lackluster, even for a pre-season game. He has to look hard at his teams weakness' against 3-4 defenses and work around them. I don't think he's doing that well. He can't just look at how other teams have attacked another teams 3-4 defense because they'll have much different personnel.

     

    5. I say shuffle the line right now. Give it two pre-season games of work. I would like to see;

     

    LT - D. Bell

    LG - E. Wood

    C - Hangartner

    RG - Butler

    RT - Walker

     

    I just don't think Levitre is ready for prime time yet. IMO, there is very little drop off from Walker to Bell. The best way for Bell to improve is to play. Put him out there.

     

    6. The TO not being on the field argument is weak. Good teams can keep humming without a player. If the offense is so reliant on one player then they have too many problems. Once again this goes back to Schonert's game plans.

     

    7. I don't know if it was the O-line's blocking schemes or just that they can't deal at all with a DL like GB's. If it's the latter then it's gonna be a long season. The inability to run the ball was horrifying when you consider Lynch and Jackson are two of the better RB's in the NFL.

     

    8. It was one preseason game. Don't start crying about the entire season now. At least wait three games into the regular season before starting to gauge how the team will do this season. JMO

     

    Here's to great improvement over the next few games and in the regular season. :worthy:

     

    1. You should have sobered up by now. Why rub salt in the wounds by mentioning the Steelers?

     

    2. Unlike you, some of us remember the 2-8 swoon last year.

     

    3. Trent was the General of the Haitian Army last night.

     

    4. I hope Schonert doesn't look hard at his offense. If he quits, does Russ the Salesman promote Alex van Putz?

     

    5. You jest! They all looked like they were in some surrealistic a back-pedaling drill.

     

    6. TO just resigned, and is starring in a different comedy TV program.

     

    7. doh? Can I quote you on that? Here come the Steelers.

     

    8. The "Three Game Rule, was that on the back of the Ten Commandments?

    I'm considered a Jauron backer...but only because I think firing the head coach over a preseason loss is preternaturally stupid. :worthy:

     

    Exceptional use of vocabulary.

     

    Now,

    I think firing the head coach over a preseason loss is preternaturally stupid

     

    Everything is relative, but extending the contract of a HC who lead his team to one of the great collapses since that of the Third Republic of France, THAT is preternatural stupidity.

    Season's W-L Prediction

    Right now, I'm thinking:

     

    09/14 @ New England Patriots L

    09/20 TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS ?

    09/27 NEW ORLEANS SAINTS L

    10/04 @ Miami Dolphins L

    10/11 CLEVELAND BROWNS ?

    10/18 @ New York Jets L

    10/25 @ Carolina Panthers L

    11/01 HOUSTON TEXANS L

    11/08 BYE (thank God)

    11/15 @ Tennessee Titans L

    11/22 @ Jacksonville Jaguars W

    11/29 MIAMI DOLPHINS L

    12/03 NEW YORK JETS (Toronto) L

    12/13 @ Kansas City Chiefs W

    12/20 NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS L

    12/27 @ Atlanta Falcons L

    01/03 INDIANAPOLIS COLTS ? (if they have the division wrapped up and rest starters)

     

    2 probable wins

    3 possible wins

    11 probable losses

     

    Fortunately for the Bills, I'm usually wrong.

    Is it time to play "shuffle the O-line" yet?

    The Steelers super 3-4 front seven is on the radar screen.

     

    The current lineup: Langston Walker (LT) - Andy Levitre (LG) - Geoff Hangartner © - Eric wood (RG) - Brad Butler (RT)

     

    -looks somewhat better on paper than in front of NFL defensive players. If you were the Bills ace line coach, Sean Kugler, what would you do?

     

    Don't forget the reserve players:

    -D. Bell

    -C. Denman

    -S. McKinney

    -M. Philip

    -K. Chambers

    -B. Rodd

    -J. Scott

    -N. Hennessee

     

    Also, the trading deadline isn't until October 20.

    Which Bills draft was worse?

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    2000:

     

    Erik Flowers, Travares Tillman, Corey Moore, Avion Black, Sammy Morris (didn't re-sign because he could play), Leif Larson, Drew Haddad, and DaShon Polk

     

    -or-

     

    the 2005-2004 "cluster" draft:

     

    Roscoe Parrish, Kevin Everett, Duke Preston, Eric King, Justin Geisinger, Lionel Gates (2005)

     

    Lee Evans, J.P. Losman, Tim Anderson, Tim Euhus, Dylan McFarland, Jonathan Smith (2004)

     

    My vote is for the 04-05 cluster draft, since it's still killing.

     

    Thank you Tom.
