[Any ideas for a game sign to show....]

I'm almost half tempted to make a sign for this upcoming homegame to show my frustration for whats goin down this season (and the past 4 seasons for that matter).  I know you should never be down on your own team, but this is really discouraging, especially this teams hiteous play on the road.  I swear they make an absolute embarrasment of themselves on the road, they almost look they dont belong in this league when they hit the road. 

I know many of you will say its wrong to bring a negative sign, but what the hell.  I want this team to know how pissed their fan base is getting with them in case they don't already know.  Not to mention many of us pay decent money to see the games or have season tickets like myself and I'm just so god damn discouraged.  I get so up and excited for every season and then Rosen.  So with all that said any good ideas on any signs that could be made????  I have a few good ideas, but we'll see if I follow through with it.

TIME TO GET THAT WINNING TRADITION BACK TO BUFFALO

"TIME TO GET THAT WINNING TRADITION BACK TO BUFFALO"-- too wordy. Try for the simple and conscientious: "Win, please."

[I sent TD a really nice Question on BB.com]

it'll be interesting to see which questions they actually respond to this week, cuz I"m sure there aren't many duckies and bunnies out there. If they publish the softballs, someone's gonna go ballistic, and it might be me.

I was among the duckies and bunnies who posted a question, and lo and behold, it got answered. It was a softball, to be sure, but my curiosity was genuine. I'm sure I'm one of a liberal three who actually read the answer.

[McGahee not the answer?]

Does anyone else out there have a feeling, in your gut, that McGahee may not be the answer?

 

Sure, I love what he has done and I love the potential.

 

But, he doesnt have his full speed back; will he ever?

 

He doesnt have Henrys ability to seem to bowl through defenders; dont we need that?

 

And, my biggest question is can he be trusted not to cough it up yet? Henry developed a problem in year 2

 

Do we know yet if he is injury prone? Henry has been pretty injury free and yet other comparable backs to McGahee are injury prone like Fred Taylor. He may be great on the field but what if he rarely see it due to injuries?

 

There is something to be said for a known quantity in Henry. We know hes durable, we know he will break tackles every game, we know he is productive for whole seasons not just some games.

 

When you have a stud back, dont you want to hang on to him like hes gold? Do we really have 2 studs? a PROVEN 2 stud RB's?

 

My opinion still is that McGahee should be our guy and Travis should be traded but I recently have been posing these questions in my head. There is some truth in keeping what works.

 

McGahee still wins as far as im concerned because of potential but the word implies that the potential is unrealized and the unrealization is where we should have some question marks still.  What if next year McGahee is a flop and Henry is gone, what then?

 

My gut still tells me McGahee is the real deal and to be fair he does things Travis cant, but I feel we should be a touch conservative here and not be willing to toss away a proven stud before we know that the replacement is truly better.

The verdict is impending, but incomplete, on McG. What seems essential is that we get a qualified figure on his value-- starting him now gives us the sum of the season to measure him-- before we make a decision on what comes next. Henry plays hurt, but is hardly durable-- that he plays through injuries is commendable, but to what extent they affect his play is the real measure of his durability.

 

I agree that Henry is a better-known commodity, and that is to be valued, but I doubt he will be shipped for less than that value, or BEFORE we know McGahee's. We don't currently have two stud RB's, two known commodities. We don't even truly have one. We know Henry is a better than average back (who still has unrealized potential: what would he make of an entire season as a feature back, with his experience and knowledge of the new offense, without the enduring nag of injuries, old and new?) and we know that McGahee is likely better than average (and still has unrealized potential, with, essentially, the same questions as Henry); we don't know who is better, and likely never will-- there just isn't the time, or luxury, for mid-season comparative analyses.

 

While I agree that we should be thorough in our analysis, I don't think a full-term, comparative analysis is necessary, or to be expected.

[One definitely positive aspect]

I con-friggin-cur! It's refreshing to see a dynamic, reactive gameplan.

[Losman's still hurt...]

Not that he's injured, but that he isn't a viable QB option right now?  I mean seriously if he were healthy we'd ALL be calling for him, and maybe some people in the locker room would be too.  As it is Shane Matthews isn't really an option that will improve anything so we're stuck with Drew.

 

This forces us and the team to try to figure out how to make what we have work rather than chuck it and start over.  Be honest, as bad as Bledsoe was last week he wasn't terrible in week 1, but the O-Line has been awful both weeks.  They can't open a hole for the running game.  If you can't run you have problems, regardless of your QB.

 

There is only ONE way this team will get better, block better, period.  Anyone but Michael Vick would have serious trouble in our situation right now.

 

Yes, Bledsoe was garbage last week, his accuracy was crap, there's no arguing that.  But if we consistently end up in 3rd and 6 or more this is what we can expect.  People will blitz us to death.  We MUST continue running the ball but we must get better at it...soon other wise we're done and contrary to popular opinion it won't all be Drew...

Nice-- a thoughtful post.

[Bills come in 5 - 12 or less]

I really hope he's fired after this season I'm fed up with him.  Hell I don't even like the way he talks.

He whistles his "s's". Who can respect a man who whistles his "s's"?

[Bills come in 5 - 12 or less]

I'd think that Ralph Wilson has done enough in his life to have earned more respect than this from a Bills fan.  Pretty pathetic.

Seconded.
