  1. It was a no brainer.

     

    I hate to break it to you know it alls but Mularkey is a very smart coach and knows what he is doing.

    Lindell is < 50 % outside the 40. What do you think those odds drop to

    into the wind on a very windy day?

    25 %. Maybe.

  2. I know he had a consusion, however now it is the ankle.

     

    We will probably miss another four games this year and not a difference

    maker for this team, plus he will probably want a lot more money being a free

    agent.

     

    I say forget him and move on. We are not going anywhere next year anyhow.

     

    :D

  3. We aren't beating anyone unless we can end the stupid penalties. As long as we keep having a stat of like 12 penalties for almost 100 yards, then we can't win.

    Good point. The Rams of a few years ago could get away with that sometimes,

    when they were known as "The Greatest Show On Turf".

     

    No chance of anyone mistaking the current Bills offense for them.

  4. At first I thought this may be the over under!

     

     

    --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    DOLPHINS TEAM RANK: Rushing Offense -- 61.2 yards per game (32nd in NFL); Passing Offense -- 188.0 ypg (22nd); Total Offense -- 249.2 ypg (32nd). Rushing Defense -- 134.8 ypg (27th); Passing Defense -- 106.4 ypg (1st); Total Defense -- 241.2 ypg (2nd).

     

    BILLS TEAM RANK: Rushing Offense -- 95.0 yards per game (25th); Passing Offense -- 173.5 ypg (27th); Total Offense -- 268.5 ypg (28th). Rushing Defense -- 85.0 ypg (5th); Passing Defense -- 234.5 ypg (23rd); Total Defense -- 319.5 ypg (15th).

     

     

    Neither of these teams can score, and Miami has a much better defense.

  5. Anywho, if Clements is any kind of OC, we'll be seeing a lot from Willis tomorrow if Henry doesn't play or even if he does. Reliance on running game gives us a big advantage.

    I think you are correct. Just looked at Miami's rush defense and they are

    ranked # 25 in the league. Their pass defense is # 1.

     

    The more the offense runs the ball and keeps DB from having to throw,

    the better off we are.

  6. I don't agree with the above statements.  This team was not built to be winning now.  It was built to win last year under the premise that Bledsoe would be good.  However, TD hedged his bets and actually eyed 2005 when the team collapsed last year.  His original plan was for this to be the year but actions indicate this year was meant to be a throwaway rebuild year with an eye to be a major contender in 2005.  Here's why I believe this

     

    He hired a rookie head coach from a different organization.  A team planning to be a major contender does not bring in a rookie head coach.  Even the great ones didn't do much in their 1st year.  Look at the great coaches & most had a tough rookie year. TD knows this, the Mullarchy hire was a step backwards, preparing for 2005 & beyond.

     

    He drafted the QB of the future so he wouldn't have a rookie starting in 2005.  If you think they thought Bledsoe was anything more than 50-50 to come back, why trade so much to get Losman.  If Bledsoe could beat the odds, they would be a playoff contender, if not start Losman in the second half (plan before he broke his leg).  This move screams a sacrifice of 2004.

     

    Figured Willis would not be 100% to start 2004 & kept Henry to carry the load.  Once again, this move screams rebuild.  The bounty for trading Henry will be realized in 2005, the target date of the turn around, not 2004, the rebuilding year.  The plan has always been to trade Travis Henry, not Willis McGahee.

     

    Cut Ruben Brown.  There was no way they would find a player who would be as good as Ruben this year.  If they were planning on winning Ruben would have stayed.  He burned his bridges with Gregg's staff, not Mullarchy's. 

     

    Didn't add anything in free agency.  Only brought in players to replace departed ones.  Didn't try to upgrade the team through free agency.  Wait until this offseason. I believe they'll be as aggressive as 2003.

    That's really my point. I think that we are in a mild rebuilding period now.

  7. I've followed this team for just about 30 years.  I know that the Ringo teams were followed by the Knox teams and that the Stephenson/Bullough teams were followed by the Levy teams.

     

    In the middle of 1985 nobody really knew who Levy was.  Nobody knew that Jim Kelly was coming.

     

    Things change quickly in this league, and they still can.  Nobody knows what the hell is going to happen in 2005.

     

    I'm more interested in seeing if Mularkey can turn things around this year.

    I understand. You must be my age. I grew up in Hamburg, about 5 minutes away

    from where the stadium is now. I remember being at the War Memorial. I had an

    O.J. poster in my bedroom.

     

    Things can turn, you are correct. I was just hoping that we had seen the light at

    the end of the tunnel and turned the corner.

     

    Don't see that right now.

     

    :doh:

  8. At the end of the season.

     

    And that's as far as I'll ever predict.

     

    So many people love to predict what's going to happen, and the simple truth is absolutely noone knows what will happen from one game to the next....or even from one player to the next.

     

    Let's say Bledsoe gets hurt just as Losman is healed, but we've won a couple of games.

     

    Let's say Pennington gets hurt before we play them again.

     

    Let's say Jamal Lewis gets suspended and can't play when we go to Baltimore.

     

    Let's say Ricky Williams decides to s-hitcan his career before the season even starts.

     

    No one ever knows what is going to happen from day to the next let alone one game to the next, and if you feel better predicting doom and gloom simply so when it happens you either won't be disappointed, or can tell everyone you were right, then fine.

     

    But Christ man...predicting that next year will suck too?

     

    I'm glad I don't work for someone who thinks that way.

    I am not a half empty, half full kind of guy. To me, I ask the question it depends

    on whether you are putting water in, or taking water out.

     

    We have seen water put in for almost four years and we made need to take

    some water out and cut our losses. I appreciate your enthusiasm, but I am

    a realist.

     

    If you worked for me, or I worked for you, do you think either of us would be

    happy with the performance of the organization after four years?

  9. Holy Crap!

     

    First someone gives up on the Miami game.

     

    Then someone gives up on the season.

     

    Now we're giving up on NEXT YEAR???

     

    When you contradict yourself as much as ICE does, you're bound to be right about one thing, and he was right about this: I'm glad I don't have to do battle with a bunch of freakin' assclow quitters.

     

    Writing off next year, indeed. How fuggin' pathetic.

    Hey man, this team was built to be getting something accomplished by this point.

     

    Not trying to be negative, just realistic that we may need to accept and minor

    rebuild next year.

     

    Where do you see the 2004 Bills finishing the season???
