Fixxxer

I agree, he had a very solid game but he needs to learn when to go for the hit and when to go with the textbook tackle (McKelvin could learn this too). He needs to understand situational football. I don't have a problem him shouldering Megatron there, maybe he forces him to cough up the ball and the refs are forced to review the play, maybe they overturn the TD, who knows? I have a problem when he goes with his shoulder and Pettigrew only has to jump him to gain 22 yards. It happens all over the league but the good teams are the ones that make sure the ball carrier doesn't gain extra yardage if they can prevent them.

He was playing his natural position and had a solid first half, he wasn't much of a factor late in the game where the Lions began to pass. He's not a good or reliable pass rusher. When Edwards tries to protect a lead he only rush 3, 2 if you include Kelsay's only move, the bull rush. He would be the perfect 2 down player on most teams, he's the premier pass rusher on ours. Edwards needs to challenge Kelsay by sitting him and play other players, like Colemna or Moats.

I agree for the most part, but a little blame goes to either Byrd and Whitner. They're in cover 2, the Lions read the play perfectly, but if I'm Byrd or Whitner I put a lot of attention where Megatron is. They played it right giving extra help to their CBs on top but with the game on the line I don't let Poz 1 on 1 with their best receiver.

We should have kept Fewell......................... (I guess we won't see a positive Fewell thread this week) The defense is improving, today I saw some interesting blitzes. I hate when we rush only 3 though, we make it real easy for the opposition. Next week will be a great test for Edwards and the defense, hopefully they keep getting better.

Speak for yourself.

NFL: Bills NBA: Bulls

If the Bills for some reason are not able to draft Mallet or Luck next year I don't want them to bring another rookie QB. If there is some veteran QB available, see if the guy would really be an upgrade, if not keep teaching the guys you have on the roster.

I like Ayodele inside better than Moats or Torbor. Will Merriman play? If he does play it will be good to see him with Moats/Coleman rushing the passer. At some point in the third quarter yesterday we were playing with 3 DL and with Coleman and Moats as OLBs without Kelsay in the line-up, it was interesting to see, because Kelsay rarely comes out of the game.

Those lucky bastards are set for the next decade.

Lovie Smith didn't challenge a clear Cutler TD against the Skins to preserve the time outs. To make matters worse that play ended up being a fumble recovered by the Skins. I very much doubt Smith would have gone for the 2 point conversion. Tell your friend to know his team better.

If I'm not mistaken Fitz audibled on that play. He saw the safetry creeping the LOS and I think he changed the play, don't know if the original play was a run play, though.

He confesed to Pam Oliver (Fox pre-game show) that he didn't put the effort while in Atlanta. He played with his god given talents.

I think part of the problem is that we try to run those delay hand-off runs way too much. Gailey should give his OL the chance to push the guy in front of them and let the RB hit a hole fast.

We should bench Stevie Johnson because he was a 7th rounder? David Nelson and Donald Jones should not see playing time because they were UFDA? I find your way of thinking shortsighted if you think that you only can find talented players on early rounds. And if Gailey's plan would be to defy odds, he would still be playing Howard until he gets better and we would be still trying to find out if Hardy can play WR in this league.

I bookmarked this link beacuse of the "weekly Wake thread speacial": Dolphins give CFL sackmaster Wake record deal NFL teams were frothing over the workouts of Canadian Football League pass-rush specialist Cameron Wake, and the Miami Dolphins had to fork over a nice sum to land him. The Dolphins signed Wake to what's believed to be the richest CFL-to-NFL contract: four years worth as much as $4.9 million and nearly $1 million in guaranteed money. Wake narrowed his choices to four teams, including the Buffalo Bills, before choosing the Dolphins. "Buffalo really put a great package together," Sheehy said. "They did a wonderful job recruiting him." http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/1186/dolphins-give-cfl-sackmaster-wake-record-deal

I think he's much better than "nothing wrong with", he's a very athletic kid that is better pass blocker than run blocker, that is why I don't understand when fans say that he should be move to RT when we find the new LT. He's more of a finesse player to me. Can you upgrade the position? sure, few players are indispensable but having Bell makes it easier for Nix and Gailey to upgrade other more pressing needs. If you have a shot at Jake Long or Ryan Clady, go for it, but if you're not sure the guy you're getting is not better than Bell (at LT) I don't see how that would be a smart decision. There are several prospects OTs in this draft but none scream "Franchise LT", I think we will target a RT if Wrotto or Wang show they can't play. If thay show they can play, regardless of where they taken, one problem less to solve.

I think the system Martz tries to run is insane. Having the WR read the coverage and react to it so that the QB can release the ball in his 7th step back is ludicrous. This was innovative when the league was not a pass happy league, besides you need very smart skill players to make it work. Martz is a dinosaur.

That might be unfair to Wrotto, he didn't have the luxury of being with the Bills since TC. Exactly one month ago he was called up from the PS. I think Howard subbing Green was more of natural procesion than being the right man for the job. I still like Howard, though, but for a back-up role inside.

If he feels like playing he could do some serious damage, but you never know what Peppers will show up. He's like Peters, if they would go 100% all the time, like many playes do, they have the talent to be HOF players, but they are lazy athletes.

I think Glazer is the best in the business, he has great connections and usually delivers exclusive news all the time, but after that he shouldn't open his mouth. When we released Trent Edwards he was on the Fox pre-game show and he said and I quote "I given up understanding what the Bills are trying to do, I think I will understand women first before I understand what the Bills are doing" Now we're targeting a pro-bowl player and comes up with this does not make sense move? Glazer should keep on tweeting looking for news, we, evidently, don't need his opinion.

FWIW, Peter King: e. Buffalo's effort. Chan Gailey doesn't have a good team, but he has a team that's fun to watch and that plays hard. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/peter_king/10/31/monday-morning-qb-week-8/5.html

The latest Patsie scam. I trade you to this team, get you fired and come back to us.

That is the wrong mentality. The mentality is to hit on the 1st rounders you draft regardless of their draft position. We haven't been good at that and it's way too early to tell this with Nix. And if you're a fan, you don't cherish the thought of losing, it makes you look like an !@#$.

I don't think they're mutually exclusive. The fact that Kelsay sucks doesn't mean Maybin deserves more playing time.

Strange stat: the Chiefs OL gave up 3 sacks against us today. They only gave up 5 in the 6 previous games. I don't know if that is a positive of us or negative for them.
