I'll confirm that too today. For those that are unable to watch this game, look no further than the offensive play-calling as to why the Bills are suffering in this game. It's been horrid.

You took the first one completely out of context (surprise surprise ). Listen to the audio on the official site and you will hear the full press conference, in which you will discover that he was praising the receivers and saying they should keep doing what they're doing and if they improve, it will only help JP improve.

I've been waiting about 6 months now for my dad to finish it so I can read it

For any within the broadcasting area, it would be well worth your while to (if you don't do so already) turn down the TV's volume and put on the FM broadcast from AVP and Murphy. Murph is smooth while AVP adds some real useful color analysis, including my favorite : x's and o's

No, like I said earlier I saw Edwards as a bigger part of the problem in that game. .... Along with fatigue due to an inept Buffalo offense.

It is certainly a fact that Edwards is no Pat Williams. I don't think that is what's being debated here though your point hits home. The team simply lacked the discipline that day in the scheme they were being asked to implement. It wasn't a matter of Big Sam just overcompensating for Edwards. It wasn't just the tackles either. Maybe it was wrong for Gray to expect them to implement that particular scheme. Maybe the players are at fault. But on that day it certainly was not just one player.

Let it be known then (FWIW) that I do not use news publications to obtain my Bills football x's and o's information. The gap control issues in the ATL game (yes , even on the TV broadcast which is not game film) were plainly evident for anyone to see. Just look at a couple of the big gainers going past Big Sam's gap where either he, or a LB (Fletcher or Posey) would have had responsibility.

NP, to clarify I should have said the Saint's running game.

I understand your concept here. What I'm asking is if you watched the game because that was not the issue vs. ATL. Most of the open cutback lanes were right over Sam's left shoulder if you look at the big gainers that happened. Also, when our LB's blitz they still have a gap assignment according to Gray. So it wasn't just the D-line either.

It's not Horn I worry about, or any other receiver for that matter. It's Duece McAllister.

Did you watch the ATL game? Because the "gap control" theory holds a heck of a lot more water than your "single bad player" theory in that game. Adams was out of his gap just as much as Ron was, as were the Lb's who are assigned to fill certain holes. In the Tampa game I will agree that it was clearly Edwards getting pushed around quite a bit.

I can understand that, as even many Bills fans felt the same way. I was initially shocked with the pick but it made sense to me because it was a pick we "Stole" from Atlanta and McGahee was a top 5 talent (if recovered) at the time.

I think, though he still has flaws, he is starting to live up to that "hype" with 9 100 yd games in 14 starts and the YPC going up.

Another thing is that it wasn't such a "soft" schedule til after the season was over. If I remember correctly it was the 2nd or 3rd most difficult schedule in the league based on winning percentages.

Look on the same site every monday as well for comments from Marv Levy as well as coach Chuck Dickerson. I think between Kelly, Levy, and Coach D, all TBD cast types will be entertained and/or informed.

Still holding tight to your Henry vs. McGahee take I see The last time we chatted about that it was only the YPC you were concerned with about him, no?

Me too! I'm going to be patient with his development. I just hope, as Jim Kelly pleaded, that the fans who go to the games understand this and stay with him as well.

I'm with buffOrange on this one. Plenty of plays have been called for example where the TE is open and JP is just not seeing it or getting it to him. There was also a play last week where the coverage took his pre snap read to the strong side of the field, yet Moulds was in the x position one on one and blew by his man only to stand alone near the endzone. The kid is not seeing the field yet. And I don't really blame him for this or expect him to have it all under control yet. When he rolls to his right so often, even on plays that weren't designed as such, he is shrinking the field to the point where the defense can tee off on many of these underneath routes.

Optimistic about facing Seymour? No way! Of course I wouldn't have been with Jennings either..

I didn't consider the immobile quarterback last from last year. Good backing to your response... Do you atleast share my surprise in how well Gandy has played to this point though? I dare say he's been the most consistent lineman along with Chris V.

Request for an expansion on #1 ?

There are some very, VERY valid points in these posts yet I will still play a small devil's advocate and ask two questions: 1- Who here can say that Gandy has not to this point played as well or better than Jennings in both run blocking AND pass pro? 2- Considering the 2005 draft position we were in, what O-lineman would have come in and started over the existing guys?
