I said this last week, and I'm so mad this week I even took the time to learn his name. It's time to let Danny Crossman go. Last week a stupid decision cost us a game, and it almost happened again. The words, "Over Coaching" come to mind here, just kick it through the end zone make them have to earn every inch. I realize there is another thread that has an ancillary connection to this, but this issue is so huge it deserves it's own attention. Marrone, you've had the b@%#$ to dump your Punter, your starting Left Guard, now it's time to show your truly a leader and hold your coaching staff just as accountable. And if you won't do it, time for Whaley to step in and take charge. And by the way, would love to hear one of the team reporters ask about this.

Mario was a stud when we needed him the most today.

All you need to know about Fred Jackson, that 3rd down run in the game winning drive today! Incredible competitor, and Leader in every way you can define a leader.

Yeah, and Thad Lewis had a pretty good game last week, I sure hope the front office shopped him around this week.

my sincere apologies

this

how do you apply?

Preaching to the choir here, no doubt in my mind, for all around effort and contribution (running for key yards, breaking off a few long ones more than expected, receiving, blocking, and the intangible but extremely important leadership qualities), Fred Jackson is one of the best players in the NFL. Under-appreciated? Probably not by his teammates. I think the highest compliment he receives every year is from Bill Belichick. He alway effuses praise on Jackson.

This!

Great read! and the comments are even better

Every team will have key injuries accumulating at this time of the year. The key is, who has better depth and team balance (by that I mean: a good Offense, a good Defense, and good Special Teams)? Being solid in all phases of the game--O, D, and ST--helps to guard against injuries to key personnel. That is "depth" as I see it. As for our team, while we have some solid players, we're still building, and thus, still lacking in decent depth. Exhibit A = The shuffling of the offensive line personnel this week.

Well, the recent Bills teams have had a very hard time playing well, let alone, winning in Miami. I've been their for two of them, and as my wife said, "we had to do the walk of shame" down the main street exiting the stadium, flanked on both sides by celebrating Dolphins fans. It's not fun. Anyhow, I do think we have a legitimate chance this weekend, and, we won't be there to jinx them.

This is what is most worrisome: "If his mobility and ability to plant off his back foot are hampered, his overall performance will follow suit."

Our biggest problem: Kick coverage, specifically, Punt coverage! . . . I think you hang the last two games on poor executions of the punting coverage unit. You're right, as frustrating as I have been with Hackett at times, at least he has been getting results. And the Defense is a work in progress, and while not consistent at times (that's the price you pay with an aggressive blitzing approach), it is still much improved.

i always have hope, and this year there is more to hope for then in awhile, i say 8-8. The schedule is hard, we're pretty banged up at several key positions, and unsure what to expect at others. Nonetheless, there is still improvement.

if Brown is released, that certainly that opens the door for Antoine McClain, unless there is someone on another practice squad they have had an eye on?

. . . and while your at it, ask about the four plays, especially the last, at the goal line

don't worry, I've been a BIlls fan since before you were born, now back to your algebra homework, it's almost bed time

haha, that's an old-school blast from the past of one the lowest moments in Bills QB history....and that is saying something

I had the same thought, but then I remembered, we were at the one yard line with four chances earlier in the game . . . and how did that turn out?

it never hurts

well, hate to admit it, but I was pretty awed by that last TD drive, he's still the best

At this point, over-all I'm happy with him, with one HUGE exception. I mentioned this in another thread, but there has been one colossal fail on this team this season, and it has cost us probably two games: Punt Coverage!--and the Kick off coverage has been poor as well, we just haven't given up a TD yet. We've had some of the best special teams in the league over the past few years, and now we're near the bottom. The players are basically the same, so what's different? a new Coach whom is in over his head. Marrone needs to handle this now! This is not a "wait until we evaluate things in the off-season" thing. Just like last week we corrected poor QB and Punter play, time to correct poor Special Team play.

YUUUP! I like Hogan and his story, he's a PreSeason All-Pro, "but all I am saying is, give Easley chance "
