    They are tired from being on the field all game long also because they can never get their own asses off of it.  They were in the top of the league the first 5 weeks because they didn't allow points.  What they did do was let the opponent drive all the way downfield and either get a turnover or force a field goal.  The difference the last two weeks is they didn't get turnovers and were pitiful in the redzone.

     

    And that's not sustainable. This is a talent bereft defense. If you're expecting them to go out and shut down opposing teams running a cover 2 with a bunch of rookies and journeymen, you're dreaming. The best we can hope for is a D that forces an offense to take a lot of time to move the ball, and tackles well. An improved offense helps that.

     

    To drastically improve your defense you need a bunch of new players, a new scheme and maybe a new coach. To get a drastically better offense/team you just need to throw a better guy under center. It's really that simple.

    A good QB is NOT going to make better a defense that gives up 300 yards on the ground.  

     

    Better offense production rarely presents the opportunity for an opponent to accumulate that yardage. Facts are we possessed the ball 18 to 42 minutes for NO. If we built drives it would not have been possible for them to embarrass us the way they did.

    Defense isn't getting it done.  Make a change on offense.  Did the same thing last year.  I'm not anti Peterman but I bet it will have as much chance of fixing things as swiching to Lynn did last year.

     

    A good QB can make a defense a lot better. We had the top defense in the league through 5 weeks. They don't suck all of a sudden, they're just really gd tired from being on the field all game every week.

    I see about 250 and 2 TDS with 1 pick.

     

    I'm really curious to see if the running game goes up if the opposing D respects the pass?

     

    I think they're going to be caught flat footed by the pass a bit, considering everything they know about the Bills is a Tyrod led team. If we hit a few more guys in stride, get more yac, and start getting some chunk plays, you'll see them generally scrambling - which is all McCoy needs. If Peterman exploits the pass, Shady's best days as a Bill are ahead of him.

    Perry Fewell maybe? I know what you're talking about. I can't even remember the player's full name; Think it was something Scott? 

     

    This day in age he would have a position as they're are more tweeners in football this day. 

     

    You seriously don't remember Bryan Scott? He was awesome. Always did everything he was asked, and he didn't play MLB, he played outside LB sometimes.

    Not as good as Peterman???

    Woh there fella!!! Slow that roll!!!

    Why is that? I say we won exactly zero games off of Taylors play and each we lost, except NO, was directly a result of his being unable to move the football. Assuming that Peterman was not an utter dumpster fire, I'd expect him to convert the same turnovers into field goals that Taylor did, plus pick up another first down or two. It's really not a stretch.

    And the 12th thread about TT and the QB after the defense gives up 47 points and 300 yards rushing.  

    TT was bad today.  The play calling was terrible after the first drive. 

    The personnel decisions by McD are awful.  Why is Ducasse starting?  Why is Tolbert the second RB? Why is Demarco on the field?  Why is Lorax playing OLB?  

    Why does Cordy Glenn get no criticism for missing games?

    Today TT was the 15th reason they lost.  The first 7 were the entire Bills defensive front. 8th was whatever DB was opposite White. 9, 10, an 11 were McD, Rico, and Frazier.  12, 13, and 14 were Ducasse, Mills, and Dawkins.  Then you get to TT.  Yes no less than 15 other players coaches stunk it up today, but 90% of the threads are about the QB.  

    This team needs to spend all four top picks next year on the lines.  

     

    We possessed the ball  18 minutes to their 42...


    18 minutes...

     

    Say it with me EIGHTEEN MINUTES.

    The best defense is a good offense. They cant score if they dont have the ball, and we beat 0 teams in the NFL with 3 points. ZERO. If Taylor drops 35 and we still get blown out I'll listen to your argument about defense, but as it is they already gifted Taylor 5 wins this year he didnt deserve.

    So you're saying we would make the playoffs if Peterman had started since week 1?  Well you're implying it! Ok, you implied nothing of the sort but... here's a an overly simplistic argument that is completely unrelated to the previous exchange!!!  Check and mate.  Damn I'm good. B-)

     

     

     

     

     

    I would say we're 8-1 with Peterman under center. Loss to the saints.

    Brady got a tax cut?

     

    He's still in the 39.6% rate, he just lost his state and local tax deductions and his mortgage deductions.  His effective tax rate is going up...

     

    I take it you didnt read the plan. Go check it out, from any source you wish and let me know what you find.

    Hint. He'll save a minimum of $1.6M per year on salary alone and a minimum of $200M lifetime via the Estate Tax.

     ESPN has declined mostly due to technology and major changes in TV viewing habits in America. Particularly with millennials, who will pay for internet connectivity but aren't interested in paying for content. Similar to the way they aren't willing to pay for recorded music. If in your opinion a " subset" of the population is up in arms about ESPN , they don't have much to do with ESPNs difficulties.


    Correct. We haven't had cable in over 5 years, and more and more people are going that way. High quality sports video content used to be a huge edge for television, but over the last few years that content is much more readily available and accessible on the internet. There certainly isn't the demand to have as many cable channels as they do, and that content could be offloaded to online streaming which is far cheaper and less restrictive. Their talent has gone way downhill too. The people they put on in the afternoons are unbearable, and aren't up and coming talent. ESPN used to be the #1 place to catch sports news, but now by the time they air a story it's a day old, and I've already read 10 articles on it and watched all the interviews I need.

    Would that be the segment that isn't completely brain dead?   It's not like ESPN (or virtually any other news outlet) is sublet about their political views.

     

    ESPN has every right to preach politics.  And people have every right to pretend that has nothing to do with round after round of layoffs.  

     

    You people don't have nearly as much power or economic influence as you think you do. All companies lay off people, even successful ones. If you're trying to chalk this up in a W column for political protest, I'd love to bet you on how long it takes them to start running stories on how great america is because now the middle class gets to pay for Tom Brady's tax cuts. Sadly, I don't think I'll ever be able to collect on that one.

    Would you still be making racists and sexists innuendos?

     

    Not sure what that means, but I'm asked to put up with your people's agenda on a constant basis, and I don't piss and moan because it makes me uncomfortable. Maybe you should just listen and see what they have to say. Osi Umenyiora did a great piece on BBC about it.

  11. Football is the greatest, most complete sport ever created. I think there will be a thriving audience for it long after we're all gone. Basketball and baseball are broken games that can't adapt to the strength and size of the competitors, yet football is able to continuously evolve even as the people that play it change.

    What might not be there are the legions of new "fans" that have come around in the last few years. The NFL was able to pull in a tremendous amount of super-casuals over the last decade, and that will probably go away over time and we'll revert to 90's audience levels. 

     

    Keep this in mind, football had a thriving role in American sport in the 50's and 60's when players had to have second jobs to pay their bills. There wasn't any real money in the game, they didn't have 16 games a week and it still thrived. I've seen a number of yuppies from my generation saying how they won't let their kids play football, and I say all the better. Get the pampered kids out of the sport who are groomed to make 20 million dollars a year, and maybe the NFL will revert back to the pinnacle of the game from the late nineties.
