I agree with you. Now we all see the complexity of the situation. If there is a team out there who sees his ability and downplays the injury factor, then we (as ICE suggests) may be able to atleast get something for him by going the franchise route.
-
considering there are 64 starting tackles in the league, I'd say he's above average. If you're talking purely left tackles (which doesn't really make as much difference as it used to considering formation shifts) and you have him at 11-20, I can see your point. One other tthought on this IMO is that there are @ 20 above average starting left tackles in the league right now. I guess it's all how you look at it. I'd probably rank him @ 18-20 of all starting tackles in the league.

Well it's kinda complicated because really the only reason he's considered average is because of the frequent injuries. Otherwise he has shown that when healthy he is above average at both pass and run blocking. He is (when healthy) often left on an island and has faired quite well vs. some of the better pass rushers in the game.

I would not be opposed to the Bills using the tag on JJ. As stated it would surely be a way to recoup something for him if indeed he does want to leave.

I read alot of posts that proclaim DB sucks, TD has killed the team, etc. They are generally followed up with pithy remarks about what he SHOULD do is blah blah blah...
And that's all fine and dandy, we all have our opinions. But here's the deal: It is what it is. The reality is that come this Sunday, DB's the best QB on the roster, and TD (the team's President) ain't going nowhere. So instead of wasting time with all of that crap, why not look at the game, look at the plays, and talk actual football?
It's to the point now where you know exactly who the poster is going to rip by looking at their name, not their post. It's boring.
Agreed Campy! It's fun when you can take the "politics" out of it and just talk about the game itself. It's always exciting to find such posts, rare as they may be. My problem is allowing myself to get caught up in the back and forth BS and then adding to the crap that is already out there.

The way I see it, many of these frequent "passionate" slams on our team come from assumptions that fans make that are simply unfounded. Mind you, I agree that opinions are everyone's right to express. It just seems that having an opinion that can be proven makes more sense. Some examples of these unfounded passions:
- The GM is somehow not trying to do everything in his power to make the team better and lets EGO get in the way of decisions.
- You know more than ___________ (insert coach/staff member here) about the game or who should be ____________ (starting/fired/cut)
- ___________ (insert player's name) sucks! ......... (followed by zero examples of what qualifies as sucking and/or game examples of said suckiness)
These are just a few of many typical rants. Now I understand that there are also plenty of complaints that can be debated fairly from both angles, but these atleast personally are the ones that "get me going" as a Bills fan anyway.

Direct shots at posters should be eliminated? How else will a good portion of people here respond in the "Bledsoe sucks" threads? We need our daily dosage of "you're an assclown", "you don't agree with me.......you must be stupid", or one of my favorites that has been thrown my way at times, "you're probably some pencil-necked geek who never played the game before, so what do you know?".
Sush!, you pencil necked geek who probably never played the game!

Ha!
It didn't take you very long to find this one!
I had the over/under on 15 minutes

You had your say, and now I'm gonna have mine!
This is a gross exaggeration. yeah, Bills fans are pissed... but I don't see anyone jumping of the wagon and joining forces with any other NFL team. Hell, just the opposite... you can see the "PASSION"... and "PASSION" swings both ways. You've got to take the bad with the good. I just see it as many of us are fed up... especially when most of us drank the Teflon Tom Koolaid. After 4 years you would think we'd see marked improvement in this team, but we're not... and I, for one, don't think this team is deserving of a "free pass" any longer... So, I'll keep bitchin til they reach expectations or at least I see a reason not to B word.
If you want nice things said all of the time, this ain't the board for it.
Passion is good at times but also often gets in the way of intellect and objectivity.

ICE, you are just like Coach Dickerson. You know a lot about football but you just love to stir it up. You go away and pout then when your needs to feel satisified are not met you come back here for more. Then you complain about the rest of us. Well dear have fun with the board again. I guess I can finally use the ignore feature. GO BILLS
See there you go feeding his ego again

For the first time this year, I'm going to defend Deadsoe.
Being at the game really gives you a different perspective. Drew didn't do a lot because the team didn't ask him to. The Cardinals were ridiculously conservative on offense (did they throw once on 1st down?). It was obvious they had no clue how to handle the wind. The ONLY way we could've lost that game after the McGee kickoff was turning the ball over.
Sure, the offense had a short field to work with, but they were able to capitalize on it, which this team usually doesn't do.
There was single-coverage on the outside the entire 2nd half - I kept screaming for them to throw that fade to Moulds - which they finally did for a TD.
He made one dumb play, trying to force the ball to Campbell into triple coverage, otherwise didn't do anything stupid.
Now if you want to say we have a better chance to win when we ask #11 to shoulder as little of the workload as possible, or that Losman should start when he's healthy, I would not disagree with that. But man, get off the guy's back concerning yesterday's game.
Nice.
A little objectivity goes a long way for establishing credibility in future posts as well. -
I agree. Bledsoe is definitely getting more credit than he deserves. One play stands out in my mind - the TD pass to Euhus (spelling?). It was designed to go to Moulds, but he had time to check down to Euhus and make the throw for a td. If you remember, Euhus was called for a holding penatly one play early which negated a Mcgahee TD. Against even a mediocre pass rush, he wouldnt have time and we would have settled for a FG.
Here we have it!!
Winner of todays worst attempt to make a point while unknowingly supporting the argument opposite of the point you're trying to make!
Well Done

I agree and I know that Pat loves it here in Buffalo. Hopefully he'll be willing to sign for a fair amount. The very good play of Mr. Edwards recently would not be possible without the constant leaning provided by Pat and Sam. I still consider PW to be our best defensive player. It's not really a statistically based thing only. It's also much about the attention paid to him by the opponent.
BTW, Nice post Bill
(I liked the one about Krumrie too).... -
Bannan was actually used as the LG yesterday, not even as an H-back. It was the funniest thing I could imagine as well, but he did ok (he blocked well on the one TD run anyway). Shelton actually did REALLY well on the one drive where Willis had like 4 carries for 55 yards. He is still poor when left in for pass blocking though...
-
Congrats Rudy! You just made the ignore list (after this post). I should've done it long ago.

We are not better than Seattle but our defense and special teams certainly is.

It is simply pathetic how some fans still fail to see the truth of a situation.
Bucky Was right on in his article this morning. The Bills are STILL one of the absolute worst teams in the NFL. it is comical to come to message boards the day after winning over a team that just outright sucks and hear all the excuses as to why we should be happy.
How pathetic fans have become. You are so damn hard up for a win that SH@# tastes like steak to you. I guess after you swallow so much of it, you come to feel that is steak.
I think the one thing that has made me the maddest, Sickest and flat out embarrased after this weekend was this...."But people don't understand....we won in spite of the BAD WEATHER" What the FU@#? What the bloody hell did a BUFFALO BILLS FAN Just friggin say? I know I didn't hear a BUFFALO BILLS fan bring the WEATHER into this?!?!?!!?
How friggin pathetic is the fan that says that. Bills fans WANT the weather. They WANT 30-40mph winds. They WANT 10' of blowing snow. The WANT -10 to -20 degree weather! how pathetic have we become when we say stupid S@#$ like "But the weather was bad...that is why Bledsoe couldn't throw".
That makes me want to fuggin PUKE! Jim friggin Kelly NEVER had issue with the Weather. Hell I have tapes sitting on my shelf that I can pull right now that shows the worst Damn weather you can ever summon up for a football game and Kelly STILL Threw for over 300 yards!!! Snow, sleet, 30mph winds, -2 BEFORE windchill and STILL Cowboyed the hell up and tossed the ball. Hell Jim WANTED that weather to toss the ball in!
It brings us back to Bledsoe. The worthless POS that he is. If he were 1/2 the gunslinger, had 1/2 the sac Kelly did...he would have went 3-4 wide and put up 300+ on the fuggin cardinals. Let me say this again...ON THE DAMN CARDINALS IN OUR OWN HOUSE!!! With BUFFALO Weather!!!!
I for one want this season overwith ASAP. The #1 reason? The so called "fans". Christ almighty it is sickening to listen to and read some of the ever lovin stupidity that is flowing from Bills fans these days. happy to beat a 1 win Dolphins team? PATHETIC! To beat a Cardinals team at home? PATHETIC!
How far have we really fallen? People need to take a step back, pop in some Kelly, Kemp, hell Even Flutie tapes and REMEMBER what it was like to have a REAL DAMN team!!! Because folks, we don't have one. We are NOT as talented as fans believe we are and it starts with that POS of an excuse for a QB.
so you guys go ahead and blast and flame away. Keep your heads in the sand chanting "A win is a win". The rest of us that have a clue will sit here screaming to whatever God or Gods we worship that either Ralph Wilson gets a clue and cans both Tom Donahoe and Drew Bledsoe OR Sells the team to a younger ower. Yeah to a younger owner that is in touch with how football is TODAY! One that keeps them in Buffalo mind you (And you know they are out there) but still understands that the Lines are priority #1 now and you don't need nor want a "Traditional pocket passer" any longer to win. And esp one that realises....this team is NOT talented enough to get where we want to go.
One last thing....do you actually remember what it is like to make the playoffs and win a game? I have to say obvioiusly not...or you wouldn't be happy with "a win is a win" over two of the worst teams in the NFL.

Shaddap ya blowhard!

I agree with the posters who say we should put a retired player up their, considering what it has done for Drew and Travis ;-)

I didn't know Willis did that during the game... Can you describe the situation a little bit more?
