ABE. Anyone but Edwards
Haha I agree with that!
Neither of em! Give the stache control and the title. He can still keep Asst HC, but add DC!
Yeah I'd like some pi-stache-io salad
-
With Jack Del Rio being fired recently, I would love for Buffalo to make a move for him for DC "IF" we get rid of George Edwards. I know Del Rio runs a 4-3 defense but as we all know that would benefit our defense as well. Just wanted to see what everyone thought about him as a defensive co-ordinator. Thanks for your time,
GO BILLS!!!

I BLAME GEORGE EDWARDS!
You are all wrong....the team quit, but only plays hard when they win..yeah, I played in the NFL, I KNOW when a player quits...
:rolleyes: No wait...it's now Chan Gailey's Fault!
Wait wait...Buddy Nix...HE is the problem....
Check again...Fitz is to blame....he took the $ and fleeced us!!! YES THAT'S IT!!!
No..Jason Peters is the problem (as he played a strong game Sunday night).....
Trenative Checkwards....all the blame to you sir!!! Rid of the check-down, yes then playoffs!!!
Absolutely not....Marshawn Lynch clipped a Canadian!! And a gun charge??? He is the problem!!!!!
It's the defense...yes...it's the defense....always the defense!!!!
Wait...Richard Jauron killed this franchise....he is lifeless!!!! But hey he has a hot daughter at least!
Marv Levy: HE killed this franchise...he is the issue....bye old goat!
JP Losman...wow what a bust he was..and he loves Favre in red little shorts....let's pin the blame on HIM....YES RID JP and we are on the move! Billieve!

You are all off base here...if it was not for Rob Johnson....imagine what we could have been without that distraction!!!!!
Keep putting on the blinders folks...KEEP doing it....
RALPH AND HIS CRONIES NEED TO GO....NOT TOMORROW....NOT IN AN HOUR NOW! THAT IS THE #1 PRIMARY, LOCK DOWN, STONED COLD REASON that we keep rinsing, repeating and going through the SAME crap every stinking year now!!!
Ok, rant over!
Hands down Ralph needs to hang it up and let go of the bills. If he loves this franchise as much as he says he would let them be taken over by people who have the where withall to put together a proper organization.

Yesterday we got embarrassed on offense because we have no backup center and no receivers getting open. We have a great RB, TE, FB and a decent QB. Hangartner would've stepped in an done a fine job with the QB he's snapped to a thousand times. Levitre would've played guard where he belongs and you would have seen a different game.
So we let Evans go for the same amount of money we signed Brad Smith for (about $7 mil for the next two years). If you could switch the two right now, would you? I know I would, I know Fitz would too. All you Evans detractors that say he was washed up can babble all you want, the guy got open and had great hands.
Speaking of Brad Smith, if you think you're disappointed in his production now, wait until he fumbles a kickoff return which I guarantee he will if he continues to swing the ball around when he runs like that. I am benching Smith and Spiller immediately and putting Mckelvin back there to return kicks. CJ for punts.
I'm not going to say Ralph is cheap because I honestly don't think he's with it enough to care anymore, but depth isn't just about draft picks and free agency pickups, it's about keeping your veterans who shine when you need leadership and experience. You can't play a full season without key injuries, and if your only plan is hope nobody gets hurt, you're bound to end up where we are right now-- lost.
Does anybody think the 4th round pick we got for Evans is going to help us? How many 4th round picks do we have out there now helping us?
I'm not usually a negative poster but I can't sit here and listen to our management say depth is a problem and then watch them funnel our experienced guys out the back door to save money. Depth is a problem because of your shortsightedness and failure to value the continuity and contributions of our veteran players.
You made this bed Nix.
I understand your frustration but what is Lee Evans doin? or what has he done this year? It's kind of clear that there was something wrong with him that the bills seen. He's not being productive at all. Hangarter was just a horrible release and I never knew why they let him go. Brad smith is just a little to slow for my liking when it comes to returning kicks. It should definitely be spiller and mckelvin back there, I agree with you.
-
you definitely might be on to something here. I think its time for a change from the spread but I dont know if I would want teams being able to stack the box either.
-
Stevie Johnson SHOULD BE payed like a number one receiver. He's a solid number one. Who else did you have in mind to be our number one receiver? And please spare me the talk of thinking that we are going to pay another number 1 receiver from another team to come in. And there's not a player on our current roster who can step into a number one roll unfortunately.
-
What was your pre-season prediction?
I predicted they would be 6-10 or 5-11
-
WOOOOOSSSAAAAA (deep breath) WOOOOSSAAAA (deep breath), yeahhh that didn't do sh*t for my frustration level. This team is going through a learning process and it sucks but we are going to have to just deal with it. I mean this is a young inexperienced group of guys who had a little bit of success and obviously couldn't handle it. Although it sounds like a bullsh*t excuse, its the cold hard truth.
Lets start with the defense, shall we? Our defense is simply just flat. There's no aggression in how they play, its eerily reflective of how we were last year. The problem starts with our co-ordinator. George Edwards has to have to most simplistic defense is the NFL. He calls nothing that confuses the opposing quarterbacks. I mean its straight man to man, no blitz heads up defense. That might have worked in the 90's but offenses are way to complex for us to line up like that. The man to man thing is pointless if you do not have the dline to create pressure all by themselves. I like the move to Dareus inside but he needs help. D'wan isn't creating pressure, on the edge and that's with Dareus getting doubled 75% of the time. I'd like to see a lot more action from Moats. He's our most pure pass rusher, yet he's being used primarily as a coverage defender and run stopper? Our linebackers are decent but with no pressure or help up front of course they're going to look inadequate. Our secondary is getting beat every play regardless of coverage or pressure. They're playing on their heels and the separation they are giving opposing receivers is ridiculous. Playing 5-7 yards back on nearly every down is going to minimize the big pass but it also gets you crushed when receivers make a double move. When you play that far back you tend to bite on the first move a receiver makes which is what has been happening to us. Also the most important thing is there is no interruption in the timing of routes which is the most important thing.
On to the offense, where has it been? There's no rhythm anymore. Everyone has figured out the constant short slants that we run on every single play. I mean there needs to be little more sophistication in our playbook. Hell, even some trickery would be nice. I'd think by now we would be able to run a few more play action passes, a reverse with spiller every once in a while, maybe a flea flicker with brad smith? we aren't doing anything that is threatening the opponents defense. That chip is officially off of the shoulder of our offense and the coaching staff and players need to get it back on there. Where did the physical play go? where's that grungy attitude that they were playing with for the first 5 games? I'm not really sold on Donald Jones either. He's a streaky receiver, he's either playing good or completely like garbage. He was involved in 3 of the bills turnovers today (one was a turnover on downs).
Special teams- Someone needs to step it up here. Corey McIntyre you are the man. Moorman is play great and so was Lindell before he got injured.
Management- Nix has made some bad choices but he is at least trying. The Merriman deal was pointless, he doesn't deserve to be payed more than Fred Jackson. But you know what, he's at least getting guys in Buffalo who really want to play there so I commend him for that. Ralph is obviously the backbone to all the misery in Buffalo. There's nothing like having an owner who refuses to adapt to the times, he hasn't been able to do that in about 15 years. Whoever thought of that "Whiteout" was moronic if it was solely for the purpose of the fans to see their all white jerseys. Blue jerseys at home were working just fine. If it's not broken don't fix it!

WOW! Going down with ship eh? We could be looking at 5-11 for the season. Who else are we going top beat?
haha huh?

I know we just brough Chan and Nix in, and just signed Fitz to a new deal. But this team clearly needs to be rebooted again.
Chan is a mediocre offensive coach. Nix is a horrible GM. Fitzpatrick is an average backup. Freddie is close to being over the hill. Spiller is a bust. Johnson is overrated. Jones is absolute crap. Our offensive line can't protect for longer than 2 seconds. Our defensive line is full of soft bodies. Our OLBs are undersized, inexperienced and simply useless. Our MLB are unreliable. Our CBs can't cover anyone. Our Safeties are often out of position. Our kicker and punter are close to over the hill too.
Our recent drafts have netted us nothing. Our FA signings are mostly strike outs.
The last 20 years have been failure after failure after failure.
Maybe it needs to start at the top with Wilson.
I'm sure this will be one of eleventy million frustration threads.
We don't need to get a new coach and a new GM and a new everything because they're playing poorly as of recent. I mean come on lets be realistic, none of us were saying this crap a few weeks ago. The problem is that they aren't playing with any rhythm, they've started the last 2 games just throwing the ball on every down of their first possession. Our offense is built on the balance that we maintained with a good run game. If you've noticed we've kind of lost sight of the balance in our attack. And we shouldn't panic due to being down by 7 and trying to pass every down. I think Gailey is a good coach and has the right idea the guys just aren't making adjustments pre-snap, that was clear on their first play from scrimmage. Obviously Wilson is a horrible owner. We all can agree on that. Spiller isn't a bust, he's just not being used properly, I mean how can a guy who touches the ball maybe 3 or 4 times a game ever progress? Our defense simply can't stop a nosebleed. George Edwards should have been released after last season. The front four don't get any pressure, they are playing a more simple defense than high school teams at this point and their front four are playing terrible. When there is no pressure by the front four it exploits and makes the LBs and DB's vulnerable. Edwards is making the mistake of trying to figure out how not to make them not look vulnerable when he should be looking at how to get more pressure. Moats should be starting he's our best pass rusher and there needs to be more accountability on the defensive line by the players themselves as well. Dwan Edwards is getting no pressure. Simply that 3-4 front isn't working AT ALL. Dareus and Carrington should be inside for starters.

Im not really in the mood to elaborate on the topic title, but I guess I have nothing better to do. It feels like 2008 all over again. First of all, the defensive coordinator needs to be fired immediatly! George Edwards may very well be the worst defensive coordinator we've ever had. If you want to disagree with me, i really dont give a damn right now. I'm sick to death of this bullsh*t every year. This team year in and year out accepts losing. It accepts mediocrity. The owner falls in love with coaches and quarterbacks before they even prove a damn thing. And by that, I mean a full season of success with a playoff berth. This team is exactly what all the experts say that it is, the same experts we dont want to listen to. The Colin Cowherds, the Chris Mortensens, etc. Its just a deflating feeling and as a fan who has loved this team for more than two decades, I'm not sure how much more I can take.
Heyyy heyyy cool down my man. We are all pissed off that they lost, trust me i'm extremely upset with that performance. They are in a funk and our style of play has been exposed. I mean we didn't come in to this season expecting them to be sh*t you know? It definitely is beyond annoying the way this team is playing and has been playing for the past 4 out of 6 games. The thing that kills me is that its been the same problem ALL SEASON and last season as well. The team simply isn't built to play the style that they are forcing them to play.
-
Agreed, if we had a Ryan coaching our defense we would be better than average. Too much space receivers have because we have no effective blitz packages or don't even try.
couldn't agree more
-
Yeah our defense isn't schemed correctly for this game. No blitzes or stunts to confuse Romo, he's just back there playing a pick-up game. Playing way too far off of the receivers. Just getting outplayed.
-
Yeah i'm not really sold on Ruvell Martin, Kamar Aiken has a lot more upside. He would definitely be worth a look.
-
Like I tell my kids and anyone else who moans and complains about something on TV, in the newspapers, online, etc.-IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT DON'T WATCH IT, DON'T READ IT, DON'T LOOK AT IT. That is unless someone is standing next to you with a handgun up to the side of your head, and if that is the case I sincerely hope you make it out of there alive.
lol you're right

Then do so.
But if you can't help yourself, maybe you can add to a thread (look down--it's right there) that exists instead of starting the same exact topic.

I am. I didn't want to reply to the topic, I wanted to make my own topic taking an opposing view so I did. (Look up--it's right there).
You'd rather enjoy a win - rather than immediately opine that any Bills success is merely tentative and entirely spurious???
I refuse to do either - there's another game to prepare for...

No one puts a gun to your head and forces you to read threads critical of the game!!!!
You're right!,but as a member I have the right to reply to any post that I want to if i'm not bashing or demoralizing their theories. Just like no one put a gun to your head and made you reply to this post. I'm not out to make enemies I'm just trying to be positive about us having a good start to the season when no one gave them a chance (myself at times included)and everyone from upstate NY and worldwide has their right to enjoy it for at least 24hrs, that's all!!
We've been burned by the fast start before. I think at this point most of us are trying to figure out if we have an actual good team or the 08 Bills. Or 09 Broncos. Not a perfect team, so we discuss the areas of concern. Plus it's a football discussion board, what else are we going to talk about? You want it to just become a giant circle jerk because our team has managed to put together some wins?
I understand that trust me, like I said i'm a realist when it comes to expectations. I'm not telling anyone not to post or reply or whatever all I'm saying is that we should be able to just enjoy it for a little bit for a day. So if that's your definition of a "circle jerk" then yeah I guess so. Thanks for your analogy on circle jerking though, it was awesome.
-
I'm a realist, I don't like to sugarcoat things just to appeal to others. Although I do believe there's a time and place and a way to make a point. It really upsets me to know that after Buffalo wins a game, people would have to find a way to deflate the win....ON A BILLS FORUM ONLY HOURS AFTER THEY WON!?! C'mon man it simply amazes me. Last year we were 0-5 at this point. I don't want to hear about how we can't sustain wins because of this or that after the game. I want to come here and rejoice with all of my fellow Bills fans. I feel that all of us deserve to speak our minds but we also deserve to just enjoy a victory at the same time. We are winning, and like everyone used to say about us when it was the other way around good teams find ways to win, bad teams find ways to lose. We are now that good team that finds ways to win.

Outside of Brady, who never seems to throw picks, a lot of the best QBs have been high risk/high reward guys...
look at Kelly, Favre, etc. they might throw 2 or 3 picks in a game, but you also knew they could bring their team
back to win the game.
Compare that to a Trent Edwards or Rob Johnson...whose interception percentage was spectacular, but if the team got
down was there any chance they would lead a big comeback?
My heart was definitely in my throat on a few of those passes (TD to Chandler, near INT in endzone that Jones swatted away),
but this offense is starting to have that 90s Bills swagger, where you never count them out and that's due to Fitz taking those
risks. I'll take that any day over a guy who's afraid to let it fly, so we go three and out more often than not.
I couldn't agree with you more man! Fitzpatrick is a risk taker that's for sure, but we are a team that needs to take risks to win. Sorry Bruschi if Our QB hasn't had the privilege to play under the same head coach and same system his whole NFL career. I think that type of security and knowledge for a system might just help a little bit. One thing is always true, There's rarely a chance to have a prime reward if you don't take any risks.
-
Thanks man. Yeah I should've added a possession of theirs turning into 6 for us. Great point!
-
I did add this as a reply earlier but wanted to share it on my own behalf as well. I hope you enjoy and I can't wait to hear your feedback.
I think there are three major factors that are going to be the biggest contributors of the outcome of the game. We have the best chance of winning if we can do these three things...
1: Control the clock- Get the running game going early and often and just tired out their fat D-lineman. This also keeps the ball out of the hands of Tom Brady. We cannot let them dictate the pace of the game, if we do its a done deal from the start.
2: Apply Pressure- Now of course I mean apply pressure to Tom Brady himself but even more than that, we HAVE to make sure the pressure is applied even more so to his receivers. Brady can't win by himself. I think teams take the wrong approach and focus all of their attention on trying to get to Brady. The main thing is to get physical within those first five yards on their receivers and especially their TE's. Timing is everything in their offense, take that away and force Brady to check down.
3: Take Chances- Let's face it, we are going to have to have luck on our side to beat this team. However we can persuade the luck to be in our favor is we take advantage of one on one matchups when we are on offense and delayed type blitzes on defense. When Tom Brady can look down over the line and see who's about to blitz its like shootin ducks in a barrel. But when they are delayed for 1/2-1 whole second he goes into panic primarily because he cannot predict whats going to happen.
Thank you for your time!!

I have a cautious sense of optimism. It's only 2 games, one against a team that looks to be in the Luck sweepstakes. I want believe in this team, but the jury is still out. I know we're heading in the right direction but I'm not dropping to my knees and praising them yet. It's only been 2 games of a 16 game schedule. Re-post your topic if they beat the Pats on Sunday.
GO BILLS!
Haha yeah I know, however im not going off of the wins but more so about their approach to the game. You're asking a lot of me to repost this IF they win against the Pats. That's a tall order, idk if lebron James could even jump that high lol.
Agree! I love the fact that this team is Sandlot of the NFL. I hope Fitz, Fred, Stevie, and Nelson all get their due in terms of money and contracts, but keep that blue collar type of work ethic!
Me too man I mean these guys are great character guys who ball out every Sunday.
