True, they sucked. Don't know many Bills fans who cheer when any player gets injured. That's Philli fans. Don't agree here. Wade was a solid coach. He didn't know when to fold 'em on a horrible special teams coach. Haven't heard many people say Ralph is a bad owner. More people talking about how he should be in the hall of fame. Butler sucked, paid too much money, and had a couple of horrible drafts and free agent aquisitions before he left. Can't argue here. GW sucked for us. He'll get a second shot somewhere and use what he learned here (don't hire crappy assistants, tone down the rhetoric, make a move on your coordinators when its warranted) and be a better HC. Doesn't suck, but is stupid. Is not a complete back. McGahee already demonstrating he's better and potentially great. Peerless made it known he didn't want to be here. TD did a masterful job of getting a 1st rounder for a free agent. Jury is still out on Gray. Statistically good D that folds in the crunch. Meanwhile, LeBeau's D in Pittsburgh is pretty dominant although the statistics don't show it. I've only heard BF say Gray sucks. It's a legitimate question about the 4th down but I haven't heard people say Mularkey sucks. Classic RunTheBall

Please, you are going to compare a guy making his 4th start against a guy who has multiple 1,000 yard seasons and was playing with a lead for most of the game? Come on, you're smarter than that. How many 8 and 9 man fronts did Dillon see?? Not many. Belichick was putting everyone but the friggin ball boy on the line and DREW COULDN'T BEAT IT. He couldn't throw the ball to wideouts in single coverage. Game over. We should have been torching that secondary all day, couldn't even complete a 5 yard out. Our offensive line in barely adequate. Put them against an aggressive 8 man front and they disintegrate. Jesus couldn't gain yards against that front with our O-line. RunTheBall

The game plan for BB was hilariously simple: stop the run and Bledsoe will self destruct. That's exactly what happened. The plays were there to be made, Drew just couldn't make them. He didn't get a heck of a lot of help from his WRs, but the main problem was Drew. When a team stacks the line and takes away the run, you have man coverage on a wideout. We couldn't beat man coverage on a frickin wide receiver playing corner and a rookie free agent. PATHETIC. Offensive coordinators game plan to get single coverages on WR or backs. Belichick GAVE US that. He gave it to us! Why? Because he knew Drew couldn't do it. And he didn't. There is no Pan B that will work if you can't get the ball to players in single coverage. It's simple. We didn't have the talent to make plays against scrubs in their secondary. Horrible. RunTheBall

Willis McGahee is the difference maker. WM makes the O-line look good. I'm sure they've had some gradual improvement and I think they are reaching about average. WM makes Drew Bledsoe look better. Now instead of hoping Drew can win the game for us, we can wish for our 8 million dollar QB just to not screw it up. That's some good return on your investment. He did have a couple of excellent tosses into a tough wind the last 2 weeks. Lets see if he develops some consistancy. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we won this game. The game plan should be simple, run the ball to force Harrison into the box and then throw some intermediate routes on play action. Moulds should be able to tell Troy Brown exactly what route he is going to run and then smoke him repeatedly. We are going to have to throw the ball to win this game, I think Beli!@#$ is going to make Drew make plays to win. RunTheBall

Form letter for the thread: [insert easily answered question here] [insert 1 or 2 serious responses here] [insert 1 question slightly critical of the 1st question here] [insert any number of derogatory statements toward the critical questioner] [insert 290 flames/random thoughts/finger smilies/responses here] [Make a reference to #89's rack here] I think that about covers it. RunTheBall

I hope we didn't shell out the kind of cash to Schoebel that we did for a situational pass rusher. He hasn't been the dominating DE you expect with that kind of cash. He should be able to play the run. It's nice to see Kelsay play well. If he develops some consistancy we'll have a solid DE combination but far from the best in the league. RunTheBall

Not at all Bib. The second line was for the thread originator. I just liked your shitballs comment. RunTheBall

I believe those are "stevestojanballs". Another "Look at me, I'm leaving!" thread. Buh-bye. RunTheBall

People, thank you. This is the type of dysfunction that makes reading the messages on this board so fun. I've laughed harder on this thread than I have in days. Thank you. I almost dropped a nut when I saw the name NJ Mickey Dees. Classic. RunTheBall

True story - recently a colleague and his friend were in Toronto. His friend comes down with acute appendicitis. They show up at the hospital ER. The administration tells him to go to Western Union and get $8,000.00 cash wired to him if he wants his appendix out, otherwise get on a plane to the US. That's national health care folks. Enjoy your wait in line to Canada. RunTheBall

I miss all those posters who posted "I'm leaving and never coming back!" threads.

You can be a fan of a team and recognize that they suck. Example - I am a fan of the Buffalo Bills, AND, they suck. Teams that suck generally are made up of players that suck too, i.e. Coy Wire. I am happy we beat Arizona at home in the elements, we don't suck as much as they do. I hope we beat the Jets, and if we do, I won't think we suck as much as we do right now. In fact, if they keep winning, they could move from sucking to average. Anyone who thinks that you can't be critical of a team and a fan at the same time sucks. (And no, this isn't directed at #89 or anyone in particular so all you knights who want to come riding to the rescue can but the horses back in the stable.) RunTheBall

Mike Williams is 100% a B U S T He was the #4 pick in the draft 3 YEARS ago. It isn't just his false start last week, he has regulary gotten torched by speed rushes from the outside. He's a right tackle! He's got some good run blocking skills but hasn't been dominant. He should be moved to guard where his weaknesses can't be exploited as easily. The #4 pick in the draft should be a dominant player. Mike Williams is in no sense of the word dominant. He's a barely adequate Right Tackle. You need more from the #4 pick. Bust. RunTheBall

1) QB's always bring a premium, especially if the team with the QB knows the other team really needs one. Buffalo has been hosed twice, RJ and DB 2) Running backs are much more replaceable than good QBs. Just look at Denver. You don't give up a #1 for a RB. Especially one who can't block or catch. 3) NE gave up a #2 for Dillon because they had beucoup draft picks and could afford it easily. 4) Atlanta crapped the bed with the Peerless trade. They played their hand too early, letting it be known they wanted Peerless. TD made a brilliant move to franchise a free agent and get a #1 pick for a #2 receiver. RunTheBall

Holy crap. For the number of NE trolls who come to spew their crap on this board day in and day out, it's ridiculous to even mention us talking about NE losing. A loss is good for NE at this juncture. You don't want to go undefeated into the playoffs. The law of averages eventually catches up with you. RunTheBall

When the Bills make the playoffs then I'll happily take a "Eat crow" thread somewhat seriously. Until then, you and TKO can enjoy the kool-aid. Maybe he'll teach you his robot dance RunTheBall

People really need to wake the hell up and realize that T Henry is NEVER going to get us a 1st round pick. 3rd rounder at best. You are really comparing T Hen to Ricky Williams? Come on man, get serious. T Hen would trip on his way to Lenny Kravitz's bong. RunTheBall

A W is a W no matter how you come by it. Just ask NE fans. I've been pretty negative about this team recently, but I don't think I need to eat crow. I was expecting a win at home against one of the historically worst teams in history. So now we get to say that we don't suck as bad as the Cardinals. Whoopee. The reality is that we are out of the playoffs and this game is about winning the superbowl, not beating crappy teams at home and acting like we're champs. The best thing I saw in this team was a desire to play hard, which I think has been lacking recently. Drew Bledosoe still sucked, although he didn't make the killer play because the AZ DB dropped a pick that was tossed right in his hands. He did have 2 very nice tosses for TD's, one to Moulds and one to Euhus. Special teams, dominant (Lindell can't hit the end zone with a 30 mph wind behind him though). Defense, dominant. McGahee, playmaker - makes those around him better (See Offensive line, e.g. suckage). Happy with the W. Disappointed we're reduced to watching our young guys get experience because the team is out of the playoffs so early in the season. RunTheBall

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I'm sorry dude, I have absolutely nothing against you but that is friggin hilarious. The PC crowd is ridiculous. The first thing people do when they don't agree with your point of view is to try and attack what you said, not what you meant. They make the issue about you, not your point. Homo. RunTheBall

I totally agree. This was a GREAT move by TD, not just a good move. Peerless was a free agent. We were going to get ZERO. TD made a calculated gamble that he could get a first rounder for PP and it worked. He got back the 1st rounder he gave up for DB. Now, at that point in the draft I think it was a solid move to pick McGahee. I'd love to hear what other person we should have taken at that pick that is making a big impact with their team right now. Anyone? Bueller? Anyone? RunTheBall

There's a lot of interesting info in there. Thanks. Maybe Tasker will recognize that he doesn't have to be anti-Bills on the air to be objective. RunTheBall

We're going to win 1 or 2 more games and thats it. We are the worst team in the league. Not only record wise, but we have no excuses. We just suck. At least Miami can say their team was decimated by injuries and their star running back quit. Maybe when JP gets in there he can roll out L or R on every play because this offensive line is so god awful We have become the Bungles. This is pathetic. RunTheBall

Can't really blame blew for that last pick, but lets see how many Red Zone plays he's responsible for. 1) #2 pick to Deon was a loss of 3 points at a minimum 2) Missing a wide open Eric Molds was a loss of 4 points So there's 7 points in a 14 point game he's personally responsible for. RunTheBall

Mike Williams can officially be labeled a horrendous draft pick at #4 and 100% BUST. This guy can't even play right tackle when the plan at one point was to move him over to left tackle. What a joke. 6 games in and still getting smoked one on one. BUST. Hopefully he'll be able to play guard adequately so at least we get something out of him. RunTheBall

That was it guys. Not that one throw, but the fact that Drew just killed us with another bone-headed decision. This is the exact type of thing that NE fans have been talking about for years. A killer play at exactly the wrong time. If Lindel makes that field goal (and that's a big if) we're down by 1 TD and 2 point conversion. 10 minutes to go, we've got the ball. I just don't feel like this team has the fortitude to pull it out. I hope I'm wrong. As soon as JP is healthy he needs to be in there getting some practice reps for next season. RunTheBall
