He's 28. ???

The Jets have beaten Buffalo, Philly, and should have beaten KC (if not for the thumb on the scale from the league). Their QB stinks and their offense is mediocre as a result. I'd say he has pretty good grounds to tout his defense.

This right here is as far as you needed to go to tell the entire story. Wentz not needing to pass to win this game is why we lost the game. I watched Leslie Frazier throw his players under the bus and say, "it wasn't the personnel grouping, it was the personnel". While that may be true, that right there is a prime example of why Leslie Frazier is not a head coach in this league. If the players on the field aren't getting the job done, who's responsibility is it to either put different personnel in the game or change the plan to fix the problems? Hint... not the players. I'm no coach and I didn't sleep at a Holiday Inn. But, I think it's reasonable to assume that if you are getting the ball stuffed down your throat for 2 or 3 quarters, it might be time to switch out of nickle and put some bigger bodies in there to stop the run and force them to beat you by throwing the ball. Just a thought.

Niners

It makes perfect sense. RW is the slot receiver. I'm sure he'll get plety of time on the outside though. My guess is that Roman will be mixing personnel quite a bit.

Do you feel better?

Who says we have the wrong man? Who says we have talent? I see a roster completely devoid of talent. You have castoffs from other teams and free agent pickups starting all over this roster. That's not exactly a roster stacked with talent. We're building through the draft, that much is a fact that Buddy has stated repeatedly. That takes time, but it's the right formula for long term success. Keep Buddy and Chan, get a new Def Coord, add more talent through the draft and some veteran defensive leadership through free agency.

Yeah, cuz that's working so well for the Sabres.

He's not as athletic as Bell, but he looks HUGE! I'll be interested to see how he handles top speed rushers, but is definitely a physical force.

+1 This is just typical media sensationalism. His words were taken out of context and blown way out of proportion. He obviously wasn't PC in the analogy used, but the point was to draw a comparison to polar opposites. Typical media digging for a story that doesn't exist without a care in the world how their TWIST on the story is going to affect another person's life.

I live out of town and sports for my kids keeps me away from the TV on Sunday afternoons. So, I subscribe to NFL Rewind. You can watch the game in it's entirety in Full HD on your computer after the last game is played on Sunday. I can't watch live anyway, so this is a great solution for me.

bastard!

HOMER ALERT, HOMER ALERT!! Did you seriously just say that? Do you honestly think that any NFL team would be arrogant enough to think they could "hold out" their weapons so they wouldn't get hurt in a division game? Cmon Son.

But this was not your argument. You said, "I just showed you a direct correlation between winning football games/Championships and winning the give away take away battle. Fitz gives you the turnovers without the TD's needed to over come them." I just proved you wrong by citing last years stats. Fitz didn't turn the ball over more than he scored TD's in 2010 and from the stats I showed from some of the most prominent QB's in the history of the game, there is no reason to believe that trend will suddenly reverse in 2011/12. As far as I'm concerned, your argument is busted.

Really? All I see is a guy carrying a pitchfork and a flaming torch. You haven't made a single argument here except that Fitz sucks and he turns the ball over too much and as a result the Bills will suck. I think I have just shown you that Fitz had a very respectable td to int ratio last year. As history has shown in the stats I provided, most QB's turn the corner around their 3rd or 4th year as a starter. Some longer, depending on the quality of the team around them. You are using career stats to justify a very weak argument. There is no reason to believe that Fitz won't continue to improve as a QB this year and will do an even better job scoring TD's and limiting INT's. You are not debating as you say, you are trying to drive home your cynical viewpoints... with a sledgehammer. Shovel

You spin the stats to make your argument. Try this on for size... most QB's take time to develop. QB's rarely have a profound impact in their first few years. Year TD INT Ryan Fitzpatrick 2008 8 9 2009 9 10 2010 23 15 Drew Brees 2002 17 16 2003 11 15 2004 27 7 Troy Aikman 1989 9 18 1990 11 18 1991 11 10 1992 23 14 Terry Brandshaw 1970 6 24 1971 13 22 1972 12 12 1973 10 15 Joe Namath 1965 18 15 1966 19 27 1967 26 28 1968 15 17 Steve Young 1985 3 8 1986 8 13 1987 10 0 1989 8 3 1990 2 0 1991 17 8 1992 25 7 1993 29 16 1994 35 10 Look how long it took Steve Young to develop. Yeah, he sucked! You can spin stats to suit just about any argument, get off your bashing bandwagon and enjoy our Buffalo Bills! Shovel

I love all the typical board criticism after a loss. All the closet coaches come out of the woodwork to tell us all how a real coach would manage the team. Yup, Nix, Gailey and the linebacker coach fellow, what was his name, oh yeah, Wanny... yeah, well, they all suck and have no idea what a good football player looks like. Fire them all. Come on... seriously?

I didn't think that Eric Pears did a terrible job last week. Let's give the guy a chance to see what he can do before we completely reshuffle the deck. Continuity is key when talking offensive line. You don't get that by moving guys new to their positions around. Leveitre was moved to give Rinehart a chance to show what he can do. No worries with Leveitre stepping right back in and picking up where he left off after you give Rinehart his shot. But, start juggling the new guys and you got issues that could last 1/2 a season or more.

D O O O O O O M E D !!!!!!!!!

Damn you!

Obviously there are a lot of "IFs"in that post. I see your point. New England does it all the time and have used it as a way to stockpile draft picks for years. If you draft well and build primarily through the draft, you will get to a point where trading away aging "stars" isn't out of the question. If done right, you keep flipping aging players for high draft picks, keep raising the bar on the overall talent level of the team and always have a fresh stream of talent developing in the wings. I think we're a few years away from that luxury though.

What amazed me watching these clips is the number of times that he looks unblocked... then I watched them again. You can't block this kid with 1 and double teams only slowed him down a little bit. That being said, it's easy to be impressed by a highlight reel... I didn't see this kid play during the season. Was he this dominant all the time?

You make some decent points... I think most draftniks and the media talking heads tend to isolate on one source to acquire players at the exclusion of all others. In addition to the draft, we still have FA and we still have trade possibilities... and don't forget we picked up some pretty good prospect OL from practice squads this season. I'm sure that Buddy and Chan have a comprehensive plan to acquire the players they think will elevate the talent level on this team. It's not just going to be through the draft. Besides the fact that second, third and fourth rounders are typically not impact players as rookies. I'm not familiar enough with all of the QB's who have declared to pass judgment. But, if our football guys think that there is a legitimate franchise QB at #3, then I see nothing wrong with going QB and addressing the other areas of need in later rounds and/or through other means.
