Bob in STL

Great idea, lets sell the owner!

He comes highly recommended by Ethel.

All you do is whine. He was under contant preasure and the WR is responsible for getting past the first down marker you dumb A$$. Losman made plays on all of our scoring drives.

McGee did not cost us the game. He did not play a good game but let's face it we had no pass rush for most of the game and Ko Simpson was very, very late with deep coverage support. Williams just might be the best WR in the league right now and his size creates a mismatch for most corners.

You have never heard of Clutch McCargo?

Yes - I think we can and should win some of those battles in the trenches. Especially if we isolate the play to an area of strength. Ever hear of a two tight-ends set and a man in motion? The Bears defense is excellent, they are fast but they are not overly big. Our defense is being built in that image. No reason to believe that we cannot move the line for a freak'in yard.

They never try the mano-a-mano stuff. They failed on the first 3rd and inches and gave up on it (although the penalty put them in a punting situation on 4th down). Good teams have and use trick plays because first and foremost they are very good at executing the basics. That is what helps the trick plays to work, an element of surprise. Buffalo is not surprising anyone. It's like the opponent knows we will not battle in short yardage situations All I am saying is lets execute McGahee over our massive RT, when playing in a short yardage set. Practice it and run it until we see results. Use the FB and TE set effectively. I have never seen a team so inept in short yardage and its been like that for years. Some of it is talent and some of it is the mindset. Have we even tried a QB sneak? We should be able to execute 3rd and 1 yard about 60% of the time. The trick play thing is getting so predictable.

If its 4th and 1 and you decide to put in the short yardage team and go for it thats one thing. When it became 4th and 6th it was time to punt. Period! I am tired of what "would of have worked". Lets stop hurting ourselves with poorly executed tricks. We are not good enough to overcome the momentum swing that we give the opponent. We try a trick play every game. I think that our opponents are planning for it.

I have to agree. He has to be accountable, in part, for the inability to gain the tough yards in the short yardage situation. He adds little as a reciever and his mistakes are becoming more frequent.

please stop the Mularkey? You know, that call on our first possesion, the 4th and 6? Yes, if it works you look real smart for about 3 minutes, but it didn't work. In fact, none of your fourth down gambles have worked. Check the stats and you will see we are bottom feeders on 3rd and 4th down conversions. Perhaps we can work harder on the basic dive play for one yard? Execute that simple play flawlessly and the trick plays will open up. I know you are smarter than me so think about it. It seems like every game we have a moment like this. Thanks and keep up the good work.

.... do you base this on years of college football scouting experience?

Well heck, why didn't your Dad call Marv and tell him about it?

So they opened holes later in the game against a prevent. YippEE! The OL was completely outmatched. On the first drive, the OL once again failed to move the line on a 3rd and 1. That lead to the ill fated 4 and 1 "punt fumble" by Moorman. We showed no ability to run the ball early in the game when we needed to. We fell behind and had to pass. Game over at that point.

WOW ... you are harsh. I am no TO fan but you need to be careful.

Good one!

My father would have disagreed. B- looked better on the card, every time.

The only thing worse than the old and jaded is the young and jaded.

So true. This board has many extremist and you hit it exaclty right. A. I think that TD overall did a poor job. His record and coaching selection speak for itself. I don't buy into the Wilson "tied his hands" theory, TD ran the show. That said, TD was exciting and made some high risk/ high potential moves (Bledsoe, McGahee, Milloy, Losman). He brought some good players to town, and some bad ones. B. That whole "everyones against us" Buffalo mentality is just crazy. I visit the city 3 times a year on average. The inferiority complex seems to be growing and that is a big part of the problem there. It is a great little town with lots to offer. Too much emphasis is placed on the success and failures of the sports teams. For every Sportscaster that bashes them there is another on their band wagon. Mort hates the Bills but loves TD ... that makes no sense. We all know that Berman is a Bills fan and he is overt about. Then there is Russert. But that kind off partisanship is is ok, right? C. Levy - I admit guilt to the this one. I am a fan of his. He inspires me and I think he can succeed as a GM.

Well done post. I give the RBs a B instead of B+. So far it is all McGahee (and he has been good), with just a flash of A-Train in the NE game. We are getting zilch from the FB postion. I would change the overall grade to C+ but we are splitting hairs at this point.

Did you ever see this guys posts on the Sabres board? He will argue about the time of day.

You save me from posting this. The DT's did a good job keeping blockers off of the LB's. McCargo and Williams are only goling to get better.

Take two Prozac and call your doctor in the morning.

I agree, and what ever happened to Butch Rolle?

TD would not do that ... the national media would be unhappy with him.
