  1. "In six red-zone runs Sunday, Fred Jackson gained zero yards. Re-watching each play, the culprits were breakdowns across the offensive line. The first four runs were out of the shotgun with a zone-read element.

     

    Not properly replacing Levitre is still haunting this team.

     

    This just in, the Fish run D is pretty good. It may be the best run D we face all year. I'm not quite ready to throw the panic switch on the running game and the O-line as a whole. We manhandled Chicago, but it's clear now that Fish > Bears when it comes to run D. The last point about Levitre is spot on. OBD did not even make an offer to the man. He was clearly one of the best LGs in the league, but we cheaped out. Complain all you want about Williams, but for a few dollars more, we could have locked up Levitre. But we like to eat our young here on TSW. Levitre was ridiculed and ripped here, and now we have Williams, after Brown, Legursky, et al. How does that taste TSW? Not too good. Be careful what you wish for.

  2. Are you kidding me??? Was JP Losman or Rob Johnson not available??

     

    What an uninspiring choice. Lee Evans was the exact type of player the Whaley/Marrone regime has purged from the current roster. No leadership skills, no intensity, no winning attitude. What a drop off from Andre Reed last week.

     

    It's disappointing that many in this thread denigrate Lee Evans. He was a great receiver stuck on a bad team with bad quarterbacking. Unfortunately, his final two seasons in Buffalo and Baltimore were below par, but he still put up some very impressive numbers.

     

    Career stats for Lee Evans, Jerry Rice, and Andre Reed, catches, yds, avg, TD's, TD%

     

    Evans 381 6008 15.8 83 11%

    Rice 1549 22895 14.8 197 13%

    Reed 951 13198 13.9 87 9%

     

    As you can see, Lee had a higher YPC in 9 seasons than 2 HOF'ers, with a comparable TD%. Not his fault we had JP, Trentative, and Kelly Holcomb throwing the rock (was Shane Matthews in there?). Lee Evans deserves better from us as Bills fans.

  3. I think this will be a close game. The WV's will sell out to stop the run on D and make EJ beat them. Frank will add some wrinkles to the WV offense and let Rivers throw the rock all over the lot. We stop their running game, and EJ has to hit a few receivers not named Sammy Watkins Jr. (I WANT THE CAVEMAN!!). WV's up 20-19 with time running out, Bills driving to WV 29. :08 seconds on the clock, Dan Carpenter lines up for the 47-yarder, and this time it's GOOD!! Bills 22 - WV's 20.

  4. How many jocks do I get??? I was cheering really, REALLY loud!

     

    Come to think of it, I blew it on the 12th man. They should have gotten at least 3, maybe 4 jocks. The only time they weren't a factor was after halftime, where they were all still grabbing a hot dog and taking a @#$ in the newly refurbished johns. The rest of the time, Tannehill was melting down under the pressure.

  5. Excerpt from article...

     

    "Working under Reich, Rivers completed a team-record and NFL-leading 69.5 pct. of his passes last season (378 of 544) for 4,478 yards (third-highest of his career) with 32 touchdowns (second-most of his career) and just 11 interceptions for a career and team-record-tying passer rating of 105.5"

     

    11 interceptions last yr. Not too shabby.

     

    Frank's return to the Ralph will be epic. Will the sideliners be lobbing D-cells and obscenities his way? (I kid, it's Frank, not Brian Cox) He was probably the smartest QB to ever come through OBD. I hope Schwartz can out-duel him because Frank Reich is a scary dude when it comes to the X's and O's. Can't wait for this matchup.
