So true

That sounds just about perfect.

Much higher learning curve in Rex's D than Schwartz's " go get em boys " D. Unfortunately in year one that created a set back.

we have a boat load of 'expert' fans who don't see the game accurately and spew forth some insane premises. If Mario 'took plays off' he wouldn't play,especially as often as it is being assumed by many here in this thread. Guys that take plays off like that in the real NFL (not Joe Fan's version of it) don't play for long. They get benched and they get cut. Mario is playing hurt now. 3-4 Ends (besides Bruce Smith) don't gather stats typically either, especially playing mostly from the strong side of the formation like Mario. That's just another small point that folks that understand the strategy of the game already know. Their assignments aren't the same (even from 3-4 scheme to 3-4 scheme sometimes). Almost All I read on here these days is completely incorrect statements about players such as he, or the talent limit of a guy like Sammy, or the assumed limitations of our 1st year starting QB, or how "terrible" our center is. Are ALL these guys all-pros or have all-pro potential? Of course not.But they are also not nearly the liabilities they are made to be. People that debate the visual reality of what these players can do get all caught up in demanding "proof" of this and statistical analysis of that. When you've been around (and paid attention) to the game of football long enough, maybe played it a bit, maybe enjoyed not always watching where the ball is at live games once in a while, coached it in some capacities, etc. you know what you're watching out there. It's not hard to see a good player out there and it's also nearly impossible for that player to hide such a disgraceful thing as taking plays off. The coaches see all. They review every player on every play over and over and over again. Mario is an excellent player who is a bit of a duck out of water playing hurt now in a new scheme for him that he may not be the best fit for. Does his contract need to be tweaked due to age, other player retention needs and scheme fit? YES or he may need to find another team. Is he a lazy or poor team player? No Rex isn't ALWAYS spinning it up there guys... Notice his mention of the layman's eye in many of his commentaries.

Lost a long time friend to the disease after multiple surgeries... He was a poster on this board in fact. Best wishes to Henderson

Can't catch it without being targeted. Mack aside, 32 out of 32 GMs would have taken Sammy over ODB at the time. I think they are comparable. No regrets at all though.Sammy has Julio Jones potential. ODB reminds me of Victor cruz without the injuries.

Generally, "elite" teams have from 2 to 5 "stars" on the entire team. Nothing to see here.

It's either St. John Fisher, Flutie, or Billy Buffalo

If they blow it up, it may be 5 years before we see the light of a good season. So no. We have good players. We have a good gm. Players need to adjust to the new schemes and just a few player tweaks, mostly on D. This is not just what i want, but realistically what will happen. The blow it up crew is gping to be dissapointed, fortunately.

A yawn article from Carucci. Anyone like to wager on Whaley not staying? I see it as a 100% lock he stays. Sorry there's no fandual fix lol, gotta do something.

I hope you're agreeing about Brooks there and not Lawson. Saying Lawson is terrible at what the Bills ask him to do or saying he is in the bottom 5 of Bills players is pretty short-sighted. Sets the edge well, plays multiple roles on the fly, including as an off the line LB yesterday. Also is considered one of the leaders of the group vocally. But Yes, otherwise I agree Brooks is terrible

Imagine what he would have looked like today without the multiple drops on good throws.

Absolutely, and the rest of the league too I'm quite sure

Pretty much it's at the point where you are a complete fool if you think Tyrod isn't good enough/ going to be good enough to lead this team. Will this thread end tonight? It should but I'd bet my life that it won't.

Sammy Watkins

This is true. I know a ton of Non-Loonie Bills fans who have never even browsed this message board once, all with reasonable logical opinions on the state of the team..Many of them leave their Bills fandom as a non- internet based portion of their lives. I just happen to be addicted to this site myself but that's another story.

The idea that someone major in the organization needs to go needs to go. Consistency is something the bills haven't tried to often.

as you should.

TT is plenty good for a guy who has played 9 games. He his still a work in progress but shows a lot of important good signs. The finality of peoples short term opinions will not sway the team itself (fortunately) from sticking with him, unless he falls off the proverbial cliff during the last 5 games here.

There's really no need for the argument. 14 td's to 4 ints with 8 ypa and 67% completions. And wheels to boot. Not to bad. Not the reason for the teams woes.

It's really difficult to believe.

Lmfao

Roman and the o were fine today. Better than fine really. But Rex was awful with the lack of challenges and d scheme in 2nd half. Just awful.

Another nice move here showing they aren't allowing ego to factor in.Sound Decision. Leodis is a fine 3rd corner/ safety help , just please no more returns Thigpen is a good instinctual return man.

The defender did 100% knock it out of Shady's hands... Pretty clear. Great play. Could have been caught by a high pointing type WR but not realistic really for an RB. Good effort on it.
