  1. Trent actually said that "nothing needs to change, we just need to start winning. We all like playing for him (Dick Jauron)" Is he really that stupid? Nothing needs to change?? How exactly are they going to just "start winning" if nothing changes? This blew my mind. The guy is mirroring his head coach.

     

    I have always been hopeful (but never confident, as these are the Bills) that Trent, with his Bill Walsh accolades, would finally be our franchise QB. Now? Who's the top QBs in the April draft again? Ultimately, however, the QB won't matter as long as the organization is run as it currently is. It is a system of failure.

     

     

    Jake Locker

  2. The offense is clearly the problem. We have a young, mobile offensive line and some weapons at receiver and running back. The players to work with - Lynch, Evans, Jackson, and the interior O-line.

     

    It seems clear that any new offense brought in with a new HC should not be tied to Edwards. He hasn't remotely proven he's worth such deference. Assuming his current performance continues nother QB should be brought in either through FA or the draft to compete with him in the new system.

     

    So, forgetting the big names that won't come here, who's out there that would be a good fit?

    Any coordinators-of-note not named Mularkey?

     

    Mike Shanahan, but I'm not holding my breath on that one

  3. God, I wish the SB Bills were built during this watered-down, offense-favoring era of football. The Bills would have won all 4 of them.

     

    Yup those teams that've been winning the superbowl lately have been quite the offensive powerhouses. The offensive juggernaut giants beating the stingy defense of the patriots. Or the explosive steelers offense, with their middle of the road defenses.

  4. I'd take Spikes off that list, I think the Bills ditched him at the right time...

     

    I'll agree to an extent cause of his injury at the time, but he's bounced back well. I'd take him over Ellison or Mitchell. **** at this point I'd take him over Paul Pozinjuryzy. To think just a few short years ago the amount of defensive talent we had, to what we currently have it's rather depressing.

  5. Curious...How are they are a way more talented team outside of QB? Lets look...

     

    DL - Bills (its close, although Raji and Maybins development will go a long way on swaying this more one way or the other)

    LB's - Packers

    DB's - Push

    Safeties - Bills

    OL - Push (both suck)

    RB - Bills

    WR's/TE's - Push

    ST - Bills

     

    DL- Not "Close" at all. Ryan Pickett/Jolly/Jenkins throw in Raji and when they throw some 4-3 with Kampman playing his natural dend position it sways it heavily in Gb's favor. Our dline is horrible outside of Stroud/Schobel. We have no depth.

     

    LB- Packers by a mile

     

    Db- Packers. Don't be fooled by the drafting of multiple db's. We lost our good corners when Clements/Winfield/Greer were all shown the door for various reasons. Mcgee is a solid tackler, but outside of him currently on the Bills what corner would you say is actually "good" or holds up well. Mckelvin is terribly raw oh and he's out for the year. Youboty is always hurt/inconsistent. Corner has shown some promise a nickle back. We havent had anything approaching al harris/woodson since clements/winfield. We're a little better at safety but I'd take the packers corners over the Bills.

     

    OL- I'll say this is a push but Chad Clifton healthy makes me want to give an edge to Gb.

     

    Rb- Yeah no contest Buffalo

     

    Wr/TE- Stop overrating the Bills here. It's a joke. Evans/Owens/Reed are the only capable wr's we currently have the rest of the group is nothing more than st's players who can't play wr. Te's aren't even debatable. The Bills would kill to have someone as talented as Jermichael Finley. Maybe they do in Shawn Nelson that's yet to be seen, but Finley is the real deal. Throw in Donald Lee and it's a better dup than our top 2 te's even with Schouman healthy.

     

    Driver/Jennings/Nelson/Jones are better than Evans/Owens/Reed/Parrish

     

    St- Ehh The Bills st's hardly look special anymore, we'll see as the season goes on right now I'll give them an edge

  6. Other than for the fact he quit, that might have been true.

     

    true he did quit. I'm just perplexed there's still JP threads when he's no longer in the NFL. When it really has little to do with how he was/wasn't coached and more to do with the guy was just a ****ty quarterback

  7. Mike Mularkey with a real quarterback in Atlanta looks like an offensive genius. Mike Mularkey with JP Losman cost him a coaching job. JP would still be out of the nfl cause JP was a bust. It's time to move on now.

  8. He has 3 solo tackles and 2 assisted tackles on the season with 1 pass defensed. He's a backup on the saints behind their underachieving duo of defensive ends charles grant and will smith. A glorified cheerleader in a football uniform just like he was with Buffalo. Never understood the fascniation people had with him, other than he likes to cheer on the sidelines.

  9. put scott on shockey

     

    not a bad idea but at the expense of the run defense? Not really worth it. I'll live with the passes a te will generally catch over the course of a game, than deal with a weakened run defense that will flat out wear you down

  10. Personaly I think it's a bit of poor talent at the lb position let's be real both ellison and mitchell are limited in their respective ability. While Im not a big fan of Poz him being injured doesn't help the situation at lb. The group is trying hard, but it's far from a talent laden group. I also think what we're seeing around the league is just the evolution of the te position. They're wr's in 6+ 240+lb bodies. Ben Watson,Winslow are 2 of the fastest te's in the league, and when Watson isn't injured is a damn good player. Same goes without saying for Winslow. Look no further than the colts this past monday night. Dallas Clark 80 yard touchdown. The average lb isn't going to be able to cover these guys, who can really expect below average lb's to accomplish that?. What they should do is try to throw off the routes hit them as they get off the line. More interior pressure. A good te is always going to be a weakness against almost any scheme. Especially the cover 2, or 3-4. What we should be doing is trying to bump these guys off their routes, some quick interior pressure, to neutralize the ability to drop the ball down the seem.

  11. Chad's not the issue here, IMO.

     

    Pennington is a cerebral guy and all but when you need a running start to throw 40 yards, are never a threat for a big play, and can't be relied upon to win a game ever when you need a td in the last 2 minutes. Well than you have some serious limitations at qb. There's really no excuse to lose a game where you control the ball like that all game
