  1. Check out the Fitz-lovers... Fitz can be a decent QB in games played on the third Tuesday of the 5th month of the Mayan calendar if the RB's rush for 300+ yards and the defense holds opponents to less than 13 yards of total offense and forces 8 turnovers...

     

    I admire your steadfast support of your guy, but its time to flush the Harvard turd.

     

    When we have someone else to flush him for. We don't and save the tarvaris jackson nonsense he'll never even remotely be an option. We're stuck with Pickspatrick until we have a viable alternative

  2. Might have a lot to do with outside of Stevie Johnson we have no NFL caliber wr's. As nice of a redzone threat scott chandler is he's no seem stretcher so safeties can easily give help to corners against the speed of donald jones or graham who are pretty one dimensional and not having David Nelson hurts. That and Fitz not being a good qb

  3. Two years ago the Bills didn't have Dareus. Now we have two very imposing tackles on the DL lining up next to each other. This, I think will be bigger than the off season signings of Mario and Anderson.

     

    And it will be. While Yes having Mario and Anderson is nice to line up with them the way to beat qb's like Brady isn't that offtackle edge pressure. It's the interior pressure. It's the de's forcing them to step inside to Williams and Dareus, and It's Dareus/Williams forcing brady to move around and become uncomofrtable in the pocket setting up pressures and forced throws and hopefully sacks and turnovers. If we're gonna have a defensively sound game vs NE the best players on defense will have to be Williams/Dareus

  4. As would I. As would Chan Gailey. But here's the problem: we don't play the Chiefs and Browns every week. What happens when a good team squats on the short stuff? When they're not worried about the length of the field, but rather the width? When we so desperately need a TD, but rather than hold onto the ball a tad bit longer, waiting for that bigger play, Fitzpatrick "settles" for the 5 yard in. The statistic above was jarring, not because Fitzpatrick has been terribly ineffective, but because the offense could be so much more effective. Anyone arguing against that statistic and available opportunities, doesn't truly understand what it takes to have a successful football team. We beat the Patriots last year because Fitzpatrick DID look down the field. He took advantage of available opportunities. He has an even better line this year, but so far, the numbers prove he has no interest in what transpires 20 yards down the field. In order for the offense to take the next step and beat those better defenses, he has to start looking down the field.

     

    I don't disagree with you on this. When we start getting into the meat of the schedule against those better defenses and tiz isn't taking advantage of the long passes when they're there, or even trying to stretch the field we'll run into a serious problem. I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt right now, because we where/are running a very hot hand with Spiller, and working with good field position the last 2 weeks. As we move along here hopefully They stick to what they're strengths are but also use the speed of graham and the rac ability of johnson and even donald jones a bit more.

  5. I will say, the o line is looking a lot better than in the past. However, you must give a lot of credit to Fitz in the pass protection dept. He gets rid of the ball quickly most of the time and he can maneuver in th pcoket as well as run threat. Put Trent Edwards or Drew Bledsoe behind this oline and we're talking what a sieve it is instead of how good they are.

     

    Probably. Trent Edwards is what a 3rd string qb, and Bledsoe owns a coffee shop in Walla Walla,Washington that seems like a safe bet.

  6. How do you win games, genius?? If your answer is, "score more points than the opponent," then I have NO IDEA how you can argue passing up TD passes equates to "stats for fantasy fan boys." Some of you people are incredibly short sighted.

     

    Well one I'd have to go back and look at every time said "touchdown" was passed up. In all seriousness though. If touchdowns where passed up that's pretty impressive in and of itself as the qb you love to hate only leads the league in touchdown passes, and the Bills are tied for 6th in ppg at 29. are 11th in yards per game. 8th in 3rd down pct, and I'm pretty sure one of the top teams inside the redzone. of course as fans we'd all love said qb to take advantage of every opportunity that some writer on rotoworld tells us about that we didn't notice during the game, and when you're actually playing football the odds of seeing every available outlet on every single play is damn near impossible. So while easy to criticize if you look at the picture at a whole the offense has performed pretty damn well. Of course I'd like Fitz to get better with his overall accuracy, but at the same time I don't wanna square peg round hole. Play to the teams strengths. Any question that our strength on offense is a run oriented short-medium range passing on its best day? Fitz isn't Roethlisberger or Matt Schaub, but if he's gonna convert the simple opportunites when they're there take advantage of short fields and perform inside the redzone. I'll take that every single week.

  7. What an idiotic statement. The goal is to score touchdowns, TYTT, if better opportunities are available, but are being passed up, then that IS a problem. I don't have trust in our QB to methodically drive down the field possession after possession. Big plays are a premium in the NFL, no matter what those rosy colored glasses tell you.

     

    The goal is to win games in real life. Fancy yardage and stats are for fantasy fan boys who know nothing about football

  8. Are you serious? i mean i know everybody love the cheatoriots but look at some of the games would you...what does he want 20 sacks or something? I thought the analyst would be better than ESPN in the football category...they're actually worse

     

    We played the Jets week 1 kc week 2 than cle week 3. It's a combination of media types only going off the marquee Jets game, and not paying attention to trends. Anytime you put new players together and you have common sense you realize it will be an eventual progression to play within a system and let their natural ability take over when it becomes second nature. As Bills fans we've seen the progression from week 1 to now. I wouldn't worry about who says what in the media, as long as the Bills go out there and continue to get progressively better than we have nothing to worry about. Even the giants dline wasn't the giants overnight. It takes time and patience. 9 sacks in 2 games. improving against the run, solid on 3rd down? I'll take that every week.
