If every D coordinator in the NFL knows our QB can't get away and we have one the worst O-lines in football, I am guessing the Patriot coaches have also figured
this mystery out.
Sacks: 5
Grounders: 3
FYI: "Grounders" are passes bounced off the turf in front of the receiver.

This really wasnt meant to be a Bledsoe bash post, but I just wanted to let some know that its not just Bills fans. Outsiders know that its not "the oline" or "the receivers dropping passes" - sure, that doesnt help, but every team goes through it.
Those of us that have bashed Bledsoe are just those of us that have our heads on our shoulders - and not up our asses - during games.
Well who is that in the backfield throwing grounders?

So, as defined by a bunch of you, Jim Kelly was a wasted pick-He did nothing for the Bills until the 4th season after he was drafted.
People are forgetting that Henry was still a huge ? at the time Willis was drafted. As a rookie Henry had been arrested and was on probation, and had missed the last 3 games of his rookie year due to injury. He followed that up with a decent 2nd season but fumbled 11 times! Off the field he was still so irresponsible financially that he had to sign an extension in order to get some much needed $. He needed a lot of growing up to do in April 2003. It wasn't until AFTER McGahee was drafted that Henry started to show he could hold on to the ball and that when injured he became the ultimate warrior, playing with rib and leg injuries that most players would have landed on IR with. Henry is probably a lot more mature than when we drafted McGahee. The McGahee pick made a lot of sense, especially if the team thought that McGahee would be a 3 year project, since most medical opinions are it takes 2 years to be fully recovered, back to top speed, from McGahee's injury. In April 2003, I viewed Henry as a potential ticking time bomb who may never grow up. Much to his credit, he has changed a lot since then & will either be our featured back for years to come, or if McGahee shows enough to anticipate his return to superstar status by next year, Henry will yield good value in a trade.
Finally, show some damn patience! I'd rather have to wait 3 years & get a star in the 1st round than get another Eric Flowers. People forget that Eric Moulds was being called a "wasted pick" at the same point in his career that McGahee is at & he wasn't comming off a major knee injury.
And...the writer is an idiot, lots of factually inaccurate stuff in the article.
Sorry. If you have to wait three years on a RB, you've already missed the boat.

Opinions are like.......well you know, and I don't much give a crap about those of a writer for the Patriot Ledger. Surely, one can just as easily call their pick of Ben Watson a waste, albeit in hindsight.
BTW, I've seen this said about a blue chip offensive or defensive lineman instead of McGahee, but who would that have been? The Bills wanted Kelsey, and decided to gamble that he would be there when they picked second. They got him anyway. So I'm not exactly sure who we should have picked, but I would like to know who this high impact guy would have been.
With a bit more time, the pick will prove quite worthwhile.
This whole thing about wanting Kelsay and getting him later is load of crap TD
throws out to make it look like it wasn't a wasted pick. There is no added
value there. He threw the dice and lost. I don't recall people lining up to
draft Kelsay, who is battling for, or rotating with, another bust draft pick in
Denney at DE.

The truth sometimes hurts!

They beat Tampa Bay and San Francisco. Big deal.
NFC West may be the weakest division in football.
-
I think you're correct. It must be his vision, because I could hit some of those
passes!

Notice I am not saying how many the O-line gives up because I know:
1. The O-line will give up some with prro blocking.
2. Runing backs will allow some.
3. The "Statue" will cause some, holding the ball and no mobility.
4. There will always be some coverage sacks.
Last year the there were about 50 sacks given up I believe.
This year I predict 60. Really.

You could have cut DB loose with no cap hit, but instead you re-signed him to a 3 year contract, which indicates that you still believed in him. OK...fine if that is your decision. But, why then instead of beefing up the OL via the draft and F/A(in an effort to help DB succeed), did you draft a WR at 13 and then trade up to draft ANOTHER QB?? You now had no 2nd round pick to use on the OL and proceeded to use your 3rd and 4th round picks on a DT and TE respectively.
I would have cut DB loose, but WHY did you commit to him and then turn around and conduct your draft and F/A signings in this manner? It doesn't make any sense?? Build your offense around the QB you commit to, which in this case means upgrade your OL. Instead you relied on Pucillo's GREAT off-season workouts as the answer to the OL problems.
So tell me where I am wrong.
I am beginning to think the GM game has passed TD bye. It happened
down in San Diego with the Chargers when Bobby Beathard ??? started
making odd draft day moves and reaching for players.
We all know how that turned out. Chargers have STILL not recovered.

Could you give out the link?

It's very reassuring to know 4 years into the TD plan we are
4 spots ahead of the Texans in the Power Rankings.
And you know what, It's not going to get much better this season.

Sacked 15 times?! How can that be, they have the great and all powerful Bryant Mkinney!
The fact of the matter is, Culpepper lead their team to 16 points in an eerily similar fashion to Buffalo. Get to the goalline, turn the ball over (Moulds against the Jags, etc). Having a mobile quarterback may help somewhat, but it still doesn't guarantee wins -- the OL still needs to block and that is, and has been for a long time, our main problem.
CW
Does anyone know what free agent centers will be available next year. If
we need to rebuild the O-line again, why not start with the center position.
Would not want to start a rookie at that spot.
-
I agree completely. The problem we are going to have is, as soon TD admits
we need to rebuild the O-line again and draft for it, the middle of our D-line is going to be ready for young players also.
-
The coaching staff has started with the "correctable" verbiage again.
I know it's correctable, and it was correctable last year, and the year before that.
-
4. 4th anf goal: Short, turnover on loss of down
s. -
3. Completion to Campbell.
-
2. QB Sack: Bledsoe
-
1. False start: Offense, Moulds.

Did that really happen.

0-3, 0-4, 0-16 :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
I don't understand why Bills fans who already think we can't beat the Pats in Week 4 AT HOME bother watching the Bills this year. Why not just spend Sunday afternoons doing something else, or go away until next season? Who wants to watch a team that you're already convinced will be lucky to win 5 or 6 games?
I'm not big on picking the whole season: key injuries, weather, exposed weaknesses, key matchups, etc., too many things change week to week to predict a full week in advance, forget a season.
Here is what I know. Win or lose this weekend, the Bills players, coaches, managment, owner, and fans, know that the Patriots are a great measuring stick early in the season. If we have weaknesses, BB will expose them after a bye week. In my mind, that game is truly the start of our season and it ticks me off that people are writing it off already.
Every day our team works to get better and every Sunday they lay it on the line. The least they can expect from the "fans" is to believe in them for more than one fuggin' game!
Hammer Oakland then bring on the Pats. The Pats are LUCKY they're meeting us early in the season while we are still putting the pieces in place.
There's something special happening with the Bills and it's probably going to happen "under the radar" for the next month, but this team will learn how to win, and if we do it in time, nobody will want to play us in the playoffs.
Teams don't magically turn into Champions overnight, it takes time with hard lessons along the way. Enjoy the ride because within the next few years, this team is going to bury "Wide Right".
Are your ready for some football
Well, the Pats havn't been beat by anyone for quite a while, and the Bill
can't seem to find a away to score unless they get the ball inside the red
zone.
Pats find ways to win, Bills find ways to lose.
so does donahoe really draft poorly?
