  1. Through 3 and a half quarters 4 catches for 26 yards and he bobbled two of those and almost lost one fumble. Then he caught a TD on a broken play. Whoppee. He drops a very catchable ball that gets INT to seal the loss. Percy is the #1 on this team. Wood should start ahead of Sammy. This guy is starting to wear the BUST label. Three or four Pats WRs outperform him.

    wasn't a broken play at all. He totally beat his man and TT hit him in stride.

  2. Lets look at the facts:

     

    Patriots offense scored: 25

    Buffalo offense scored:17 hardly awesome against a defense w. 6 new starters

     

    Brady: 39/53 378 2 TDS 1 int

    Edwards: 15/25 212 2 TDS

     

    Notes: Brady 12 for 14 in his last 2 drives 112 yards 2 scores when it had to get done

    Trent on his last drive 45 seconds ...enough time to get into Lindells FG range...1st pass to TO to the 40 for a big gain

    next two plays sacks and game over

     

    Summary: Trent played a good game but Brady played better which is expected

     

     

    Demetrius Bell was a turnstile on at least one of those huge sacks at the end. I wish they could have kept an extra man back there to help him because Trent didn't have a chance.

  3. Your missing the point. If you think that is the only reason Marv has his heart set on getting rid of WM your nuts. The guy is an average back. Everybody has got to change their mind set of WM being a top 5 back. He just isnt. The guy did not even break 1,000 yards this year, was stopped constantly on 3 & short & hardly had any tds. If Marv could get a 2nd round pick from him I will take that. Anything less we let WM play out his contract.

     

    As far as henry, I blame TD for alot of things, trading henry is not one of them. The guy had serious baggage which none of us knew at the time. I dont even blame td for drafting a rb that year, he just drafted the wrong one. LJ would look really nice in a bills uniform right about now.

     

    I agree with you. Thats kind of partly my point. We are in a position get a relatively high draft pick for a RB who we know is overrated--who we know is going to want more money next year than we are willing to pay, who we know doesn't really want to play in Buffalo. You can't deny that he is a productive RB even with the numbers last year, hes still a top 10 back at least in terms of potential. Why wait until next year to probably not even resign him when we can get something now.

  4. Everyone is missing the point. We are only looking to trade Willis because we know we arent going to agree on a contract extension and that he will leave next year as a FA. Instead of getting one good year from him (which wouldnt be half bad, since players like him usually are amazing in contract years), the bills want to trade him now and get something for him to address other needs and free up money to address other areas. Willis' performance isnt the primary reason we are getting rid of him--although the RB certainly could use an upgrade after last year.

  5. That was strange to me too, seems like they would stop the clock anytime someone went out of bounds in the last 3 or 4 mins of a half.

     

    The way the refs run the clock on those sort of plays seems inconsistent.

     

    It probably is just anything that favors the Pats goes.

     

    the clock stops until they re-spot the ball, then they start it back up again. This always happens outside of 2 minutes.

  6. I couldn't agree more with you, Kelly.  TD is significantly underrated and Marv is significantly overrated (to date) around this board.

    Ok I guess you guys make a good point. Im not trying to discredit TD as much as you think. I agreed with many of his personell moves. I guess more than anything, it was the fact that expectations seemed to be high since the first year of getting Bledsoe, and were never ever met. We were always "one or two players away"--we never got to the next level. It was just frustrating to be patient when the NFL has teams every year that make the playoffs that missed the year before, yet for some reason we need to wait year after year. I think a change had to be made and I don't regret TD not being here anymore. I think you guys need to look at the bottom line here, and then look at who to hold accountable.

  7. Actually what he said was that Modrak was responsible for drafting them, which was a TD guy, and very highly likely true. And John Guy who went after the free agents was a TD guy, too. And he commended Marv for signing Jauron, who in turn got the two new coordinators who have done very well so far, which is very true, also. In fact, objectively, that was a very fair and right on response.

    I kind of think thats a cop out though. Do you think if donahoe was gm that we'd have the exact same draft this year? Just because modrak and guy were there too? I think it's safe to assume that Donahoe was a guy who relied less on the opinions of others and was determined to do what he wanted. Marv clearly knows how to delegate and build consensus. By valuing "high character" above all else, I'm sure it creates a different blueprint from which to evaluate players for your team. Maybe it is simply an intangible. Clearly Donahoe has a history of wearing out his welcome with his power-trip ways, while Levy respects the opinions of others and is a winner. I dont know what it is, but I just think its BS to say that TD is primarily responsible for this years team when all he supplied during his tenure was stagnation and mediocrity.

  8. Yeah, to be fair the Bills have a assembled a 2-2 record so far by replacing only 22 TD-signed players.  Just a tweak.

    It just bothers me that mort wouldnt even credit the fact that levy and the bills drafted well this year and signed some quality, under the radar free agents. Instead it's just donahoe's guys starting to shine like he always knew they would.

  9. I guess he told you, nice answer...

    just wish i could respond. I'm not denying the things donahoe did, but I am not going to overlook hte things he didnt do. I'm sure he tried his best, but he didn't get the job done, plain and simple. Its fine to give him a 3 year grace period. Year 4 made us look like we were approaching the next level. Year 5 was an unexcusable failure.

  10. Dan (New York, NY): Chris, howcome you can't talk about the Bills without mentioning Tom Donahoe? He had 5 years to get things working in buffalo, and failed year after year. He drafted some of the right guys, but the coaches he hired were failures and the schemes they used didn't utilize their players' talents. How about commenting on Levy, Modrak, and Juaron a little bit?

     

    Chris Mortensen: (11:58 AM ET ) I am going to do something on the Bills in my blog this week. I can't believe that Buffalo folks aren't willing to give credit to Donohoe for at least inheriting a team with a salary cap mess, a quarterback mess and then putting together some pretty good talent. Don't believe that Levy was involved that much in this draft because he wans't up to snuff but I give Marv a lot of credir for hiring Jauron, who hired his own good staff. Mularkey did win his first year, by the way, and Levy wanted him back. Greg Williams was everybody's hot coach last winter. I'm not saying Donohoe was perfect but nobody is and it's ridiculous that people won't acknowledge that he does deserve credit the Bills' promise right now - Losman, McGahee, Evans, Reed, Parrish, Fletcher, Kelsay, Denny, Clements, McGee, etc. He also hired Modrak, by the way. I hope it all works out for the Bills but let's be fair and not one-sided.

  11. you are generally right when it comes to the 3rd and 4 type of situations. But they should prevent the big play on 3rd and longs. The problem will be forcing the third downs. Teams might be able to dink and dunk pretty easily if they make the right reads.

     

    We will be a bend but don't break defesne.. The colts D before Freeney also had bad personell all the way around. They had a couple decent guys in the secondary but not the kind of talent we have.

  12. First, I think Coy Wire was mostly kept because Matt Bowen is hurt now and they really don't know if he will be out one more day or ten or perhaps much more.

     

    But second, this is another possibility. If Clements or McGee goes down, I think they move Vincent to CB and put Simpson in there at FS. When he returns, Bowen could back up FS, too, if necessary as he has some wheels. Then they could keep Jabari as the nickel back which he is much better suited for at this point, IMO. With Youboty and Greer being young, I also really think they wanted some experience like Thomas brings, as opposed to all three back-up CBs being inexperienced. We have already seen them play Vincent at CB in camp in the nickel and dime packages. It's just a theory but I think it's a real possibility or fallback plan.

    Vincent can't play corner anymore. He's not any better at this point in his career than whoever our thrid corner will be (probably greer),
