  1. I don't understand this clements bashing....Why can't Mularkey be blamed

    for not challenging the goaline Henry TD call against the Raiders...

     

    Why can't Jerry Gray be bashed for being unable to stop the Jets from

    marching to the winning FG when we scored the TD to take the lead...

     

    Why can't DB be bashed (not that he is not yet ever :-)) for making the

    stupid fumble that was returned for a TD when we were just down by

    7 and driving towards the NE endzone...

     

    We can go on and on....but those are over....We have to figure out how to

    win the next 2 and hope Baltimore and Jax drop 1 of 2.

    I think the disparity has to do with the fact that Nate basically admitted after the game that he had a mental screw-up and was going for the pick. I think that really rubbed a lot of us the wrong way - fair or unfair, it smacks of the type of me-firstness that is rampant in the League these days and that costs teams games. That being said, I do NOT think Nate is that type of guy - he just has some serious brainfarts every once in awhile, for whatever reason.

  2. moving one from the loss column and putting it in the win column would obviously be a good thing in most scenarios - but the bottom line is we just don't know.  Maybe a bunch of happy Bills jumps on Lee Evans and he strains his back.  Nobody knows.

    A la Gus Ferotte giving himself a concussion while celebrating (or even better, AJ Feeley getting hurt by getting slapped on the ass by a teammate)?

  3. Like every Bills fan, I'm impressed that the Bills have been able to turn it around and make a run. The reality is they haven't beaten anyone, except the Jets, that have a winning record. If it gets down to the last game and we beat the Steelers, then I'll believe we are for real.

    Who has Philly beat?

  4. I am the biggest Nate Clements basher on this board, and there is ZERO excuse for him losing the game for the BIG BONEHEAD.

     

    That said, we really, in all fairness, cannot assume that just because we lost that game that we can assume all other games would have played out as they did. If we were 1-3 instead of 0-4, perhaps we would not have regrouped like we did. Perhaps if we won the first we wouldnt have blown it in the second against Oakland. The point is only that we cannot look at the first game as a one play loss, even though it was, and then just assume the entire season would have played out the same. It simply wouldn't have.

    Fair point. Can't blame the season on NC, and really I wouldn't call a 10-6 season a failure regardless. BUUUUUT, just for the sake of argument, as much as I might buy into your butterfly effect theory, I'd think it's more likely that had the Bills won that game against Jax they would've been more confident in the early part of the season, with the likely outcome that we could've won a few of those other ones we lost... in other words, 12-4 would've been within the realm of possibility.

  5. Would you agree that a Ruben Brown would be an upgrade over our current crop of LG's?

    167386[/snapback]

     

    No - no f'ing way. Brown would be an upgrade for his downfield blocking ONLY, but his pass protection was just horrid last season. He would take entire plays off - usually on third-and-longs. Plus he was horrendously overvalued.

  6. I know I'm a real a-hole for suggesting this, but it's better if he DOESN'T get voted in. We don't want his value getting too high to sign him to a good-value contract. I mean, I want what's best for the guy, but I guarantee you Donahoe would secretly rather McGee gets shut out to keep his value lower.

  7. Baker is the FS of the future, and Vincent is getting too old to play CB.  Another possibility is LB'er, and I'd say it's BPA from along DT/CB/LB.

    167226[/snapback]

     

    I forgot about linebacker, you're right that could be the pick. I think it's too early to declare Baker the FS of the future.

  8. FS no way in hell.  As for WR, next year's draft is supposed to be one of the best ever.  OL is too much of a crap shoot in the 2nd round and you need to wait for him to develop.  DT is a possibility, as is CB (in case Clements walks).

    167211[/snapback]

     

    Why do you say "no way in hell"? If a Bob Sanders type is sitting there in the second round when we pick, why the hell not take him and move TV back to corner? Then we'd have an unbelievably solid cornerback tandem, and a FS of the future...

  9. I'd be shocked if we took a WR or FS with our 1st pick.

    167191[/snapback]

     

    Well, you ought not be. We have enough depth at other positions - CB included - that we can afford to take the "best available" at certain positions. We have an aging free safety (did he make a play today?), Moulds doesn't seem to be as effective as he used to be, and Josh Reed may even be cut next offseason.

  10. No need to go through the Draft to get an O-Lineman, unless the rest of you feel like waiting 2-3 years for him to develop.  ALL of our free agent moves need to spent on the O-line, save our 2nd round pick in the Draft for a good CB.

    167178[/snapback]

     

    Agreed, FA is the way to go for o-line help. BUT, don't be surprised if we take a d-tackle, WR or free safety with our first pick.

  11. What do you think of the play of the rest of the o-line Coach tuesday ?

    167122[/snapback]

     

    I thought the rest of the o-line played one of their more UN-physical games today - I'm not sure how much of that had to do with the situation (the early lead, the D on fire, etc.). It's unfortunate - this is a big, athletic o-line, but not a physical, strong one. Watch Pittsburgh, San Diego or the Jets if you want to see how NFL Guards are supposed to play football. Overall, I think our o-line has gone from being below-average last year and the beginning of this year to average-to-slightly-above-average. I know some people here (Simon) disagree with this assessment, but it's how I see it.

  12. Not to be a wet blanket here people, loved the win, team looks great, etc etc, but, just to talk some football - we're gonna need a LG next year. As much as I admire Tucker's smarts and toughness, he simply lacks talent. He gets pushed around at the point of attack, it was obvious today. I think McNally's done wonders with the guy's technique, or he wouldn't have even made it this far. Should be the first order of business this offseason - depending upon what happens with JJennings.

  13. The United States government will never allow the legalization of marijuana because as was mentioned before, even if they come up with a way to tax it and get their hands in the cookie jar they would not be able to prevent someone from growing their own and not paying the government for the use of it.  If they don't feel they can get a piece of the pie from everyone it will stay ilegal.

    Um, they tax food and people still grow their own vegetables and livestock...

  14. One of the biggest problems in this country is the lack of funding by the federal Gov to verify its benefits.

     

    Um, not only is there no gov't funding for this, but, even worse, private companies AREN'T ALLOWED to run tests of their own. This country's marijuana policies and laws are some of the stupidest, most unjust laws ever put on the books by any country. Really, the thought of it makes me want to, uh, ... (*cough*) what was I saying?

     

    (really though the laws suck.)
