The main thing I've come to realize with Brady (not that I like it) is that he just gets it done. Time in, time out when a play (or plays) is needed he makes it happen. He is not a "measureable" type of player. You cannot prove or disprove his abilities with statistics. He is just the epitomy of clutch and cool under duress. I hate the bastard, but it's true.

Visual aid?

I'm ready to take the Old School football fanship worthiness determination quiz whenever it is presented . Pardon me if I skew your expected statistical results.

He's certainly as good as this poster on this board thinks he is. Better than I expected actually. He, in 18 games, has rushed for 100 yards 10 times I believe. Many of these games were wrought with situations where the rushing game was the main focus of the opponents defense. He had a lapse this season vs. Tampa Bay , and then regained his steady, consistent progress. He holds onto the ball well, reads and uses his blocks well, runs with uncanny power, a smooth shiftiness, burst and has a good enough glide and top end speed to break occasional 40/50 yarders. He is IMO on the verge of cracking the top 5 of backs in this league if he's not there already. And I certainly would not include Julius or Kevin Jones in that group as of yet. Re: your blocking references you may want to go back and take a little more concentrated look at the size and duration of the holes being created for some of those guys you mention. Holes that we have not seen here in Buffalo since the Kent Hull days.

And use yet even more high round picks on non offensive/Defensive linemen?

I think that if you think you (or anybody here) can determine whether or not JP has "it" or not after 4 games, then I want some of that good stuff you're smoking.

great post cable! He really seems to feed off the fans doesn't he? I thought the celebration was hillarious and Willis is showing more and more how much he enjoys being here and playing a large role on the team. I can take it or leave it with celebrations, but I don't think there's any reason to be so uptight about the game, as long as you're not showing up an opponent in their own stadium.

I'd disagree strongly with B., and F. wasn't an issue it seems until this season. Other than that I agree.

It was Teague and he bench pressed Ellis

Aaron played well yesterday. He had a lot of outside pressure that forced Vinny into other players. He also stood up real well on an outside run and shed his man to make the tackle. Unfortunateley he probably needs a little more help from the right DT in order to show up more on the stat sheet again.

Yeah, Sure

Go piss in your own cheerios mr!

I see you agree with my late night post last night about the running game It's nice to see Shelton getting his act together again aye?

I agree with this. I've gone over the first half again and focussed on the running plays. The line consistently mauled the Jets defenders, especially in the B and C gaps. It was a pleasure to watch this line doing what they were intended to do from the start, and with Mike and Chris coming back in it made a huge difference. As in game one, Mike was left one on one with his man and took him completely out of the play on all the runs I saw to the right. Chris V often made it to the second level on plays and had great success, while Shelton (who had BY FAR his best game of the season) played cleanup through the hole and created a pivot point for Willis to get extra yards. Anderson was dominant on his side as well, getting a great up the filed surge, while Gandy sealed the edge on some successful breaks to the outside. Teague also got adequate push on short yardage plays enough to keep some drives alive.

I see the comparison has "upgraded" from Kevin and Julius Jones to LT and Alexander, the 2 best Rbs' in the NFL. Next you will be saying "but he'll never be in the class of Gale Sayers"

-The third down D was better today (still scary at times, yes). -The play calling I thought was fantastic today, other than one series in the first half that started with the reverse, then Willis in motion to WR on the next play. -Run D is still a gap control issue, but atleat they're not being outman'ed. Still a problem yes for sure, but could be worse.

You will not hear Boomer say too much negative about the Jets or Bengals.

Yes.

Maybe it was Mike Schoop

I won't speak for Simon, but I think he was easily worth it. But then again I have hindsight to use with this. Like he said, maybe we tried and were denied.

Will anybody still be there after 1:00 ? I'm in full pee-on mode at the office

Simon, you make all together too much sense in this thread.

Actually it sounds very Bellichick like to me

I heard the same today on the way home and all I could do at the moment was sigh and once again turn off the radio. The guy has become a complete joke, and his side-kick has become no better. Both of these guys were at one time decent, entertaining, and informative radio personalities. Those times are long gone. Mike and his baseball delusions and agenda vs. all things Bills makes me sick. I just wish there was an alternative station to listen to in the area that actually were confident enough in their own abilities to atleast somewhat support the local sports teams and not play the ying/yang role playing ratings game.

He makes plenty of people miss just fine. It's usually the second wave that comes pouring into our backfield that trips him up. Seriously, where are some of you coming up with these things? "can't make people miss" ??????? Are you really watching Bills games or what? It can't be the stats telling you this.... http://www.nfl.com/stats/leaders/NFL/RYDS/2005/regular
