The Bills' defense got whooped by KC in '08 when they were using that formation as I recall.
Well that settles it. The Bills defense got whipped,because the Buffalo Bills have been the measuring stick of good defense since 2005
-
I'm gonna have to evaluate what he said and than go from there. I don't want to speculate, but there's a certain time one should evaluate by, and once the evaluation is complete we can proceed ahead.
-
Pierce is definitely slowing down and has been banged up. But if he checks out health-wise and will sign an incentive heavy contract, he could be a decent veteran pick up.
But the guy they should really grab from the Giants is Umenyiora, who was very unhappy in NY last year after being benched. He still looks pretty good from what I've seen and would be an upgrade at DE.
That would be great if we were still playing a 4-3. We're probably better off for now hedging our bets with what we have at olb, than spending millions on transisitioning a great de to olb in a new system
-
Antonio Pierce since the sb has been a glaring weakness for the giants defense. He's slow to react and can't fight off blocks. At this point he's nothing more than a name. A Liability at that. That and he's not a 3-4 lb

Bradford is the most accurate qb to come out of this draft. Yes he plays in the spread, but his accuracy and route anticipation is uncanny, and he can make all the necessary throws. Doesn't have the strongest arm, but more than makes up for it with his timing and very quick release. Played a good deal at Oklahoma taking snaps from under center, so does have experience in this regard. Is kind of a stationary qb, who was rarely if ever forced out of the pocket. Played behind a great line in Oklahoma up until this year. Durability is a rather fair issue, but his upside trumps any possible downside. He's not quite the franchise qb prospect that Matt Stafford or Sanchez were last year, but even they had question marks. It's about high time The Bills get better at the quarterback position and Bradford is the safest bet to achieve that. Whether he's there at 9 is doubtful. I expect Shanahan or Carroll to pick him up before we get to pick.

Best news to have heard coming out of the 3-4 announcement yet. No defense is more boring and less inspiring to watch than a bend but dont break 3-4. You can get away in a 3-4 with smaller linemen. Infact Dallas/Baltimore both run a 3-4 around lighter dlinemen. I expect to see a lot of variations that almost make it look like a 4-3 to compensate for the lack of true 3-4 talent.
-
Say no to Vick...If we after anyone, it should be Tyler Thigpen. He's better than what we have now, he knows Chan's offense and he has a huge upside....
The WiseGuys
What is so inspiring about Thigpen? Is it his 54% completion pct? Perhaps it's his 6.3 ypa avg? Or perhaps his 1-13 career record as a starter? Which is almost as "good" as our record vs the patriots this decade
Edit: And No I do not want Mike Vick as the Bills qb. Although he would be better than what we currently have.

I think it's just time we all agree that Both Losman/Edwards are ****ty quarterbacks
-
Losman's "scrambling" prowess never existed in the NFL. His career rushing total was less than 500 yards--less than 5 yards a carry. He was famous for being unable to avoid a sack--"elusive" is never a word that comes to mind when watching JP behind center. In fact he had the same number of rushes as sacks: 103---and he lost over 7 yards a sack!

As it stands now SD will have a far better shot at going to winning a superbowl as Long as Philip Rivers is around, and their front office stays intact.
-
What's more alarming to me is that we let #2 Greer go to get him
Not to knock on Greer who's been an exceptionally good player, but the guy only played in 9 games this year for the Saints. A couple of games which came against really bad passing teams. 2 games against the panthers. Vs Buffalo,NYJ,Det,Miami and than Atlanta the Giants and Philly. Yeah his stats look good for a 9 game span, but it's probably a little overblown.
-
If it makes some of you WNY Buffalo residents feel any better. I'd rather be in Miami right now than in the cold in North Jersey.
-
His 2.5 sacks in 22 games in Buffalo is sure missed. I never got people's fascination with a glorified cheerleader who happened to wear a football uniform.
-
Ted Washington. As great as Bruce was Mount Washington made every defense he ever played on that much better. Anchored Jauron's 13-3 season with the bears. Anchored the Patriots 04 superbowl team. Top Tier Bills defense of the late 90's till deemed too fat for Gregg Williams, go figure Sedric Ellis is pretty much a pile of goo, but ehh whatver.
Offensively Jim Kelly. There's no other logical answer. He was never my favorite player, but hes worlds better than what we've had since.
-
Smash Mouth physical offense
4-3 attacking defense similar to what the Late Jim Johnson ran in Philly
-
That is exactly what I was thinking. It would be great to see these two on the field together by the start of the season.
Reading Butler's comments, you would have thought it was an RB-released statement.
Here I go...I am getting excited about next year! I know that is a bad thing to say around these parts, but who gives a s#$t? It is not Jauron and Co.
just remember that Brad Butler has gotten injured every year since his rookie year, and despite this is our highest paid offensive lineman
-
1. Peyton Manning- He's the NFL MVP. Although I think Rivers should've won it. Manning is the model of consistency.
2. Philip Rivers- no one played better over the last 10 games of the season than Rivers, and he has a chance to make a statement. Guy's the most underrated player in the league. Can make all the throws, and the way he plays the game makes SD fun to watch.
3. Kurt Warner- Time we start putting Warner in with the top quarterbacks in the NFL. Clutch performer, and future HOF'er. Although there were some officiating issues, he was amazing in the cards win over GB. Say what you want about Dallas/SD being hot down the stretch the cards went 7-1 during their last 8 games, and Warner could very well find himself in a position to get Arizona to the Superbowl for the 2nd straight year.
4. Brett Favre- The NFL's ironman. Yeah his constant "retirements" are annoying, and he's easy to ridicule, but guys a gamer, and still has one of the best arms in the league. Although for the Vikings sake, they should be riding AP All Day!
5. Tony Romo- Another highly underrated qb, finally coming into his own. Thanks to Jason Garrett finally figuring out that he has 3 rb's that take a hell of a lot of pressure off of #9. Has really cut down on his mistakes this year, and no side distractions. There's a lot of criticism that comes with being The Cowboys qb. Romo is putting all that to rest.
6. Drew Brees- If there ever was a picture perfect defintion of a system Qb it's Drew Brees in New Orleans. Puts up fantastic stats. Set the NFL record for completition pct in a single season. The Superdome will be rocking this weekend. Fits the saints like a glove. It's hard not to root for the guy.
After this it's just a huge drop off
7. Joe Flacco- Reminds me of a younger version of Roethlisberger. Will undoubtedly have to pass for more than 34 yards to beat the likes of Peyton and the Colts. Rides the strength of his defense and run game, which imho is key to winning in the playoffs. However a lot more will be expected out of him. Doesn't have a ton in the way of receiving options, but can make all the throws, and is pretty mobile.
8. Mark Sanchez- He's a rookie. Had extreme downs, and some brief moments this year. Jets kind of have to reign him in, and limit his exposure, can't be asked to take too much on his shoulders. Gets by with the strength of the nfl's #1 ranked d and The #1 rush offense. Brian Schott, will have to hope his rush offense is in top form against SD, cause they'll be like sharks smelling blood.
P.S: I would really love to see A SD Vs NO Superbowl. Brees vs Rivers would be quite Epic.
-
Peyton is without a doubt one of if not the greatest qb ever, but I feel that Rivers should've won MVP this year, or at the very least been strongly considered for the award.

Bills pass defense DVOA ranked 3rd at -21.3% while the Bills run D was 26th at 5.6%...
No matter how you break down the numbers using a money ball method for football it still stands to reason our run defense sucks and we need to improve the front 7

Stick a Fork in Cowher this one's cooked
-
My all time favorite: Bruce Smith- I played de all through pop warner-highschool and wore #78 because of him.
2nd favorite- Thurman Thomas
other noteables: E Moulds, Ted Washington, Aaron Schobel, Nate Clements Sam Cowart and Takeo Spikes

I'd take 9-7 with a productive JP.
I liked Mularkey
That never happened we went 9-7 with Bledsoe

Jan 4 RB Fred Jackson became the first player in NFL history to gain at least 1,000 yards rushing and 1,000 yards on kickoff returns in the same season. Jackson also enjoyed the fourth-most productive season in NFL history in terms of all-purpose yards with 2,516 -- 1,062 rushing, 371 receiving, 69 on punt returns and 1,014 on kickoff returns. "That's something I'll be able to tell my grandkids about," said the Division III product who is one of the true feel-good success stories in the NFL. Jackson became the 11th Buffalo back to top 1,000 yards in a season. Jackson rushed for 212 yards Sunday, the seventh-best single-game total in team history.

Just taking a moment to appreciate one heck of an accomplishment in an otherwise dismal season

"'Nix, 70, was brought to the Bills’ organization by John Butler in 1993 and served as the team’s scout for the Southeastern United States from 1993 to 2000. When Butler left the Bills for San Diego in 2001, Nix followed him to become director of player personnel, overseeing both the college and the pro scouting departments. Nix held that post for seven years.'
So Not a football guy with any type of measured success
Bills 3-4 Be Aggressive & Attacking

When we have a dline half as good as we had back than we can get away with a bend but dont break style of defense. You see any ted washingtons/pat williams smith or wiley's running around on this team? I sure as hell don't. We have to compensate for lack of front 7 talent, by being agressive and dictating to the offense.
