    Levitre likely to start at LT vs. Washington

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted

    Hopefully Bell is back for the Jets game so Levitre can go back to guard where he's played well all year. Than the question becomes when Harriston comes back do you keep him on the bench given how he played, try him at rt, or start him over Bell at LT.... Remember that Demetrius Bell was playing extremely well before getting injured as well.

    I think Bell was (finally) playing too well to lose his job . . . not sure what to do with Harriston though. Replace Pears at RT?

    They are 3-3

     

    Everybody is talking about their injuries. True. No rb, no #1 wr. True.

    What about their opponents?

     

    They beat the giants, game 1. I'll give them that.

    They barely beat arizona. Arizona sucks and I believe it was in Wash.

    They barely beat the rams. Rams suck too.

    Lost to Dallas. Dall is unpredictable but not great.

    Lost to Phi. We beat Philly.

    Lost to Carolina. Despite cam being great, they have a losing record.

     

    I like our chances. We lost to the best defense (yards) and best defense (sacks).

    Of all opponents to play in our wasted "home" game, this is the one we wanted. They would be 1-5 against better teams (Giants only real win). We can use the real homefield advantage against the Jets etc.

    What does worry me, is they lost three in a row and may be HUNGRY. Any given Sunday . . . . we cannot be complacent, and I'm glad there record makes them look better than they are.

    I took a bye week and here is what I've decided

    1. I am beyond happy where the Bills are sitting today at the bye. Before the season I would have said 3-3 would be the absolute best case scenario. Well we are sitting at 4-2.

     

    2. Our offense has improved dramatically over the past year. Think about where we were in week 7 last year and look where our offense will be in week 7 this year. If that isn't enough for you think about how good our offense looks inspire of key injuries.

     

    3. Our defense will improve. We are starting multiple rookies on defense and will probably draft several more players for defense again this year. I would not be shocked at all if our first and second round picks this year are spent on defensive players.

     

    4. Our offensive line is proof that miracles happen and in Chan's system they are performing like a pro-bowl line.

     

    5. It's good to hurt as bad as I did after the Giants game. I could not watch or read anything about the NFL for a week I was so sick about the loss. But, it's good to be competitive enough again a loss can make me feel that way. If we were 1-5 or 2-4 right now no loss would have really bothered me.

     

    6. We beat the Patriots, if we can beat them on a the right day why can't I dream of a Superbowl. What if we get paired opposite of the Patriots in the playoffs and someone knocks them off, no other AFC team really scares me that much. AND EVEN IF we have to play the Patriots we know going in that we have a chance.

     

    7. It's just time to have fun, if for some reason this season falls short if we finish 9-7 or 10-6 and miss the playoffs at least we can head in to next year knowing we have a reason to believe again.

     

    8. LASTLY AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, LET'S GO BUFFALO!!!!!!!

     

     

    Wow, encapsulates everything I've been thinking since I (finally) got over losing to the Giants. That took a week.

     

    I think we will be very lucky to make the playoffs this year, but not impossible and we're playing good enough to dream. And next year Buddy and Chan will fix the holes in the defense and LOOK OUT!!

    Gailey is screwing our draft position

    I'm quite OK with 4-2 right now, but what I love about our team this year is CHAN IS NOT OK WITH IT AND NEITHER IS FITZ. I still think we are an 8-8 team (maybe 9-7 or even 10-6 with some breaks), but I think next year is the year we can seriously expect playoffs. The reason we are outplaying ourselves this year is Chan expects more sooner and that is a great improvement over the last regime.

    Get a clue!, You don't throw it right there. What is so hard to comprehend about that.

     

    The same exact scenario except the score is 24-21 Giants what do you do? Still throw?

     

    The same exact scenario except the score is 24-21 Bills what do you do? Still throw?

     

    Since the defense can't ever stop anything is it really a smart move to try and trust the defense to win a game? I don't!

    You may be right, I was thinking at the time we should give the ball to Freddo . . . BUT . . . I have had a bellyfull of conservative playcalling that wins us just enough games to get 7-9 year after year, with no hope of the playoffs . . . I like a little overaggressiveness and am willing to live with the occasional interception or blown up play. I see no sense in bemoaning 4-2 going into the buy.

    Is there any doubt we need a FRANCHISE QB ?

    NO I'm not asking for his head. He MUST be or QB this year but it's not the QB that will take us to the SB again. We need a Franchise QB.

     

     

    AGREE !!! :thumbsup:

     

    Even if Fitz is not the perfect QB, he will have to do, because we have bigger needs at D and we are not drafting Andrew Luck. Consider Fitz our franchise QB and move on . . . we're on track for a winning season this year, with a good draft next year we are serious playoff contenders.

    BILLS @ GIANTS

    Fitz n Gailey gave this one away today

     

    Gailey's refusal to run the ball killed them today

     

    Agreed Freddo should have gotten more snaps and maybe we would not have been in a forced throw situation late in the fourth. BUT . . . poor d had more to do with this loss. We need to use the bye to reeavaluate our D. We need much more from Darious and Merriman (not playing today I know).
