Dan

I would agree he doesn't have the vision of a seasoned back yet. But, that's because he's not a seasoned back. Give him time and I think you'll see his vision and decisions making ability increase - similar to Trent. I think sometimes people forget how many 2nd and 3rd year players we have.

It's not about winning the opening drive, it's about winning the game. We need, disparately, to establish a more physical identity and to give Lynch more carries. You can't do that with 14 carries in a game.

Love that you pick a game that Whitner doesn't play and the defense has one it's worst games of the season, allowing higher than average running and passing, to use as the evidence to declare him bust. Also, love that you bash Lynch a second year player for not playing well, but give Trent a pass given that this was one of Trent's worst performances of his career. Good analysis.

Have you seen any of Lynch's runs? He does that every single time he touches the ball. The number of times he's turned a 2-3 yard loss into a 3-4 yard game is unbelievable.

I think the poster above you just did that. Really not much more to say about their play of late.

I'd love to see the Bills start with 5 or 6 consecutive runs next week as well.

I'll nominate Bill in NYC for Oline Coach. Just please, don't let him in the War Room on Draft day.

Maybe so. Still not sure how that make Jenkins more than a so so NT except when he plays the Bills.

I can think of a few that deserve an F.

I guess he could go back to Osama. Sure

He's a team player. I bet he'd change his name if it'd help Obama smooth things over with Spain.

Agreed. I stated in another thread somewhere that we might as well blitz on every down. Dropping the LBs into coverage sure isn't helping anything. What do we have to lose?

And we have Punter Brian "the" Mormon who has been to 8 consecutive Pro Bowls. I think we're definitely on to something here. Viva la Mormons!!

Pretty much. 2.5 sacks on the year - 1.5 against the Bills. 3 tackles against the Bills - 1 against the Rams (wk10); 1 against the Chiefs (wk8).

I tried to revive it as well. What gives? Don't people learn. The first time they smited the Chroise, the board crashed. Upon a second smiting, the team has crashed. I would start a new thread, but if/when that was removed; I fear an end of days scenario.

Gotcha. I can completely agree with that. Amazing what a reality check the last few weeks have been.

I do appreciate your optimism. And fundamentally I'm hoping for just such an occurrence. However, given the Bills history of the last few years, I see... Brady Quinn will erase all doubts and look like Joe Montana, throwing for over 300 yards. Thigpen will be the second coming of Manning and have a career, all pro day. Nate Clements will finally have his breakout game with the 49ers and Patrick Willis will rack up career sack totals. And so on and so forth. Honestly, someone please tell me how every week some nobody has their career best, all Pro type day against us? Yesterday it was Cassell and a noname RB, before that it was The Jets NT, then there's Ginn, and so on and so forth. Just sad.

The part I didn't understand was where you're comparing a team that hasn't made the playoffs in nearly a decade to the Superbowl Champions. That seems a little much to me.

Hamdan Rocks! Bring on the Chroisen one! next....

May I remind you that JP has had his chance. Trent has now had his. It is now Hamdan time, baby!

I agree. So let's get his butt back on the field.

I would have pulled a Levy yesterday. By early 4th quarter nothing but 2nd and 3rd stringers would have been in the game. None of the starters seemed like they wanted to be in there anyway.

Agreed. Offensively, get a base set of personnel and run 75% of your offense out of it. Get rid of the Fullback. It's like we have 10 guys on offense, because I've yet to see him do anything. Same thing with the multiple Tight End sets. Again, you're just wasting positions with talentless players. On our typical run you have Lynch, Fullback, and 2 TEs. So now we're down to 8 guys blocking 11 with Lynch getting slammed. It's absurd. And just as you suggested, stop being so damn predictable. Use the no huddle a little to help establish a rhythm. Oh yeah, and go back to the original 5 linemen. Yeah fowler and Butler may suck, but they didn't suck as bad as Preston and Chambers or Preston and Whittle. Defensively, send guys blitzes more. We've tried dropping the LBs into coverage and what has it done? Nothing. They back up and players run crossing routes in front of them for guaranteed positive yards everytime. They might as well be rushing the QB. Screw all this zone crap. Man the guys up, pressure the QB with all the LBs and let schit fly. Yeah they'll give up a few big plays. But so what. Give up a long 9 minute TD or give up pa quick 2 minute TD, either way they score. Finally, call a few of the guys out and bench them next week. These guys are playing gutless, no heart football. Maybe give them an incentive - $1000 for every hit that makes a player drop the ball, $10,000 for every concussion they cause. Something.

Completely agree. They need to change the play calling up. I still find it dumbfounding that we're the only team in the league that has no idea what a slant pass is. 3 steps, hit a receiver slanting over the middle. How hard is that? Also, it may be hard to say or read, but... put Fowler back in there. Is it coincidental that the pass blocking and Trent's confidence have tanked since Fowler was replaced? Maybe. But it can't hurt to get him back in the game and find out. Lord knows Preston's not doing much either. So how much worse would it be?

No offense, but what the crap are talking about? The Giants are the Superbowl Champs and they haven't lost 3 games all year, let alone 3 in a row.
