[Hoge and Pasquareliie have the Bills making]

and Hoge has us winning the AFC East...He must see something bigger

in us than the Patriots.Predictions for '04 campaign

[Sullivan Lands on Feet]

Eek...when the Giants are taking OUR Offensive Lineman, you know they have serious problems.

The last time they took 2 of our discarded linemen, I think they did ok by

going to the SB.

[Final 53 Man Roster]

Defense - 25 Players

 

CB: Vincent, Clements, McGhee, Thomas

S: Milloy, Reese, Baker, Wire

We are definitely going to go with at least 9 DBs.....I think Greer makes

the team...

 

Also, Hadad has done nothing to secure a roster spot.

[Hats of to this coaching staff]

At least this staff is executing what they are preaching and putting the ball

in the hands of the RBs....Both Shaud Williams and Ken Simonton are getting

good TV coverage.

[Punt coverage has been horrible]

Looks like STs continues to be horrible....Punt coverage has been

pretty bad today.

[Um, another reason we are billsfanone!]

I believe Moorman is the holder.  Remember the botched hold in preseason when he was out?

13353[/snapback]

BTW, anyone know the status of Moorman....How was his leg after the Colts game...He did not have good punting yards on that day...Hope his injury is

not affecting him.

[Mularkey press conf]

I've been one of the more vocal Teage bashers on the board ....... but I must admit that maybe ....... and I said MAYBE the biggest problem Teague has had was playing between Brown and Pucillo.

 

I'll never anoint him as a dominating center .......... but that's OK, all he needs to do is hold his ground at the point of attack. He's done fine this preseason, hopefully it will continue.

Add to it inadequate coaching the last two years...Looks old Jim has done

some miracles with him.

[wgr says Shane Matthews in town]

Bring back Jim for a little while!

12081[/snapback]

 

I would love that...Jimbo at 40+ might still be better than all these retreads.

[Why isn't Schobel signed yet?]

schobel's 3 year production:

 

6.5 - year 1

8.5 - year 2

11.5 - year 3

 

ellis' 4 year production:

 

8.5 - year 1

5.0 - year 2

4.0 - year 3

12.5 - year 4

 

schobel was every bit as good as ellis last year, and has had a better career to date then ellis has had.......i don't know why bills fans refuse to recognize the guy is a good young player who is on the rise.....

 

you guys keep saying wait, wait, wait.......well, by the time schobel puts up the kind of year you guys think he should, he'll have priced himself out of our range and we'll stand no chance of keeping the guy....the closer he gets to free agency, the more attrative that becomes to him.......in the NFL, you need to be ahead of the game.......by sitting back, the bills are blowing their chance......

11599[/snapback]

 

You are asumming that sacks are everything about a DE....Schoebel hasn't been able to apply the big QB pressure. Quite a few of his sacks have been coverage sacks...He rarely gets double teamed. Also his game against the Run has been

average to decent, not exceptional. He is a good player, but not a great player.

[What QBs are available????]

I posted this somewhere else, but I wouldnt be suprised to see Flutie or Brees come available.

 

Seattle could cut dilfer or Huard

 

10832[/snapback]

 

Seattle just placed Huard on Injured Reserve, which means he is done

for the season

[What QBs are available????]

I still have a terrible feeling that Kordell will be cut and land here.  Brian Griese might be available also. Where is Shawn King?

10793[/snapback]

King is signed with Arizona

[Mularkey Talked The Talk, Now Back It Up]

Following your perscription is the only course for this team.  We will win and lose ugly at least through the first half of the year.  Pound the ball, throw in some play action, screens, end arounds etc. 

 

Mularkey may love gadget plays, but not just yet.  The QBOTF will be able to pull them off, but not Drew.

11501[/snapback]

 

Who said MM is not doing it. He is actually doing Just that. At about end of

the 3rd quarter (before Zolman came in), we had something like 20 passes

to 26 running plays.....

 

What I was happy to see was us not throwing the ball often on 3-2 and 3-3..

Yesterday I think we were in a lots of 3rd and long situations and hence some

throws there.

[Injury Update from the moderator at bb.com]

It's already been reported that Travis Brown has a torn ACL, will have surgery, be placed on IR and be out at least 12 months.

11463[/snapback]

 

Where? Except for someones quote in this forum on saturday, I am yet to

see any official diagnosis on TB.

[Im the biggest non Drew supporter there is]

If Travis Brown is out for a while, Milloy now gone, and drew has to QB this team... we're looking at perhaps 4 wins... when these injuries start coming, they keep coming... and it looks like it's our year for the injury bug... if we were to get one more injury along the front four on defense, we may as well pi$$ on the fire and call in the dogs... the hunt is over.

 

10751[/snapback]

 

Guys,

 

THe NE Patriots, winner of the SB last year had much more significant

injuries and cuts to their starters before the season began and they did

just fine.

 

This is the time the coaching staff gets its act together and schemes a

game with the players they have. If the coaching staff adjusts their

game plan to the personnel they have they will do fine. I have high

hopes on MM & his staff to just do that and move on.

[No 3rd Down Conversions yet...]

No doubt. I'm feeling a bit uneasy watching this game unfold. Three games and Drews crew hasnt put it in the endzone yet> Scary stuff IMHO.

10443[/snapback]

 

May be the Offesne is playing pure vanilla and is refusing to show its

true colors.

[Oh no! Two QBs injured!]

Nothing funnier than hearing AVP on the radio; "huh they are going to have to bring in a vetern who knows how to run on offense." 

 

Methinks there may be a job openning for a colour guy for Bills radio real soon.

10479[/snapback]

 

There was some article on the front page of TBD saying that AVP had

undergone a fusion surgery (probably ruptured disc) on his neck in

June and hence he is out (Technically) for the season.

[We are now down to 1 QB]

Well first of all Rob Johnson, we have lost both our back up QBs and in case you have not noticed, our 1st string offense has yet to score a TD in 3 games. 

 

No TB was not the key, but now what happens if Bledose goes down or struggles.  Will Zolman bring us to the playoffs??

10474[/snapback]

 

 

Guys, we never know what is in store....Tom Brady had not thrown a single

pass before Bledsoe went down and TB took the team to the SB....

 

DF took over for the injured RJ and won games and took us to the

playoffs....We have to hope that some team will cut their backup QBs

and we could get lucky.....This is the point where JPs injury hurts us

even more...

[Oh no! Two QBs injured!]

So...who is available to sign?

10468[/snapback]

 

They might have to trade for Tim Hasselback from the REdskins....Tim

has been lighting up in the pre-season and even at the end of last

years regular season.

[Early observation on Mcgahee]

Looks like an average back right now.  Still seems a little tentative, but I thik he will gain more confidence from this start.

10429[/snapback]

 

At least looks like MM and TC are committed to running the ball.

[Following game on nfl.com]

Yeah thats how Im following it also. It reads ugly doesnt it?Incomplete,fumble,interception,penalties.

10445[/snapback]

 

And as we watch, it says Travis Brown is injured....what the hell?

[Ratimg Tom Donahoe's Performance]

Yada yada yada......

 

. What I'm most worried about is his cocky ways about him and the choices he makes. I think we could have kept a few players (M.Wiley)  when TD arrived here. I think what TD wanted to do his build his own team.

TD=17 - 31

 

It's not what I expected from him.

10107[/snapback]

 

Frez,

 

When TD arrived because of the salary cap, he had a choice to make between

Wiley or Moulds. He chose Moulds over Wiley. History has proved that Wiley

has not been a dominating DE at San Diego and was cut after 3 years.

 

He could have gone either way and the complaint would have been that TD

did not give a contract to the other one.

[V-Coach Bulletin]

I'm still rooting for Haddad, so I was happy to see CC get axed.

I haven't not heard his name mentioned along with ST this pre-season.

Or they holding him back or is he done.
