  1. I am 67, and I learned a long time ago......you are never really as good as you look on your best day, and not as bad as you look on your worst day. Fitz had a worst day...there will be better days.

     

    I WANT to believe that, but I think we saw 7 or 8 "worst" days to end last season, too. I am afraid that is a pretty bad trend that it is very hard to ignore.

     

    I hate to say it, because I want to root for him, but I believe last week and the last half of last season are more representative of his abilities than the surprising and uncharacteristic hot start

    that he had last year (which was fueled by a unsustainably high number of turnovers by the Bills' defense).

  2. The Bills/Jets game reminded me of the Sabres/Bruins game when Miller got ran over. They kept getting punched in the mouth(see M. Williams comments) and came back for more without doing a damn thing about it. That was Sexy Rexy's plan all along. Until they stand up for themselves every team will do the same thing. I fully expect KC to come in and try the same thing. I want a coach that gets the team fired up ! Run until they stop the Run, Pass until they stop the Pass, Muscle them until they push back.... pretty simple to me.

     

    I almost jumped through the TV when Cromartie did his flip into the end zone. I would have hit him square in the chops after he bounced up. F the 15yrd penalty. Make a statement. Somebody get pissed off ! The posters on this board invest more emotion during the game and after then this team has in 12 years.

     

    "in Madden, I'd have hit him square in the chops..."

  3. If that scenario came true, it's like tossing deck chairs off the Titantic. Because the problems are deeper than the HC. There's a lot of season left, but the choices Nix has made, switching to 3-4, going with Fitz and not moving up to take a QB, and some of their draft picks are showing he's out of his league as a GM.

     

    I don't think that the 3-4 was Nix' choice. It stemmed from the fact that they couldn't get a legit DC and had to settle for George Edwards who only could coach the 3-4 (and that was questionable, too). The choice to stay with Fitz can be pinned on Nix, though.

  4. Any word on freddie?

     

    Of course, I think Fred Jackson is a good guy and don't wish for him to be hurt. However, with Fitz at QB, does it really matter. This offense is really really bad. No receiving threats other than SJ and he's above average - not great. Fitz is in the bottom 25% of starting QBs and maybe lower.

     

    I think we'll see a lot of Spiller for the rest of this year (and a LOT of losses).

     

    How very very disappointing that this defense has done absolutely nothing to keep them in the game.

  5. Kellen Moore is making great reads and throwing good balls. His receivers are really letting him down right now. I think Hagan gets cut because of that drop in the endzone. Not the type of play you want to have when you are on the bubble. Perhaps that opens the door for Roosevelt to make the team.

     

    I'd like to think so, but if Roosevelt hasn't been in yet, that is a BAD sign for him. That (imho) means they think he is behind the bad players that they have been trotting out at WR since the starters went out 2:00 into the game.
