  1. And when the Bills won those two games ealier in the season they labled him as the second coming of ken stabler. Its like any other unproven QB when they win he'll get praise and tormented by the press in the loss. Im sure this guy put aside everything else in the NFL to breakdown the Bills Lions game, 2 bad teams. Sometimes I think these guys write these articles before the games and just fill in the blanks with the names of the losers. We have a young team thats developing, everyone new they werent going to be great this year but they have some stuff to build on and everyone whos been following the bills knows the biggest problems fall on the O and D line- nuff said

  2. Gandy Should stay theyre not paying him big money and depth is really important to have on the o line. I dont want to see him start but he would be a pretty good #2, Same with Kelsay, I agree fletcher should stay. Clements is a tuff call, I would rather have them overpay someone in the trenches unless Clements will resign for alot less which Im sure he wont, Hopefully we can get a quality replacement as I like Mcgee as a #2 corner, but him as a #one scares me, Ill let Marv and DJ decide this as they know more about Ashton then we do

  3. Tampa 2, 4-3, 3-4 who cares a good defensive tackle is a good defensive tackle some stop the run better and some pash rush better, We need to cut all this scheme bull sh-- and go get some offensive and defensive linemen that can and have proven that they can play football at a high level, Bargain Basement players are great when theres a stud next to them to draw attention, but Bargain basement players lined up with bargain basement players is a blueprint for a team that will get knocked off the ball, Why cnt make a legitimate offer to a good free agent linemen or a reasonable offer for trade, Maybe our rookies will develop into solid players, who knows

  4. If you leave early enough traffic really shouldnt be an issue, but I have found that if you park in one of the first yards you come across while approaching the stadium you can get out faster at the end of the game. If you park close to the stadium you have to wait to get out of your parking spot, wait to get on the exit road of the parking lot, fight to get on the main drag by the stadium that wait for the traffic to get outta town. If youre in one of those yards you have a bit more of a walk but you can walk faster than the traffic and you only have to wait long enough to pull your car out on the main road, theres going to be like 100,000 people around that area so theres is no good way to exit quickly, not my buisness to say what you should do with your kid but a sitter or sell the tickets might be a good idea

  5. Who? I only see 3 now that Spikes is back. 4 I assume is Ellison. But who is 5? Don't say Mcargo because jauron even said he got minimal playing time the first 4 weeks, and now is out.

    [/quoWhitner, Simpson, McCargo, Williams and Ellison, now our oline is starting to get nicked up a bit so they have been in some in relief situations. McCargo started out having just as much time as the other tackles, either way its to many

  6. I think we need to keep Fletcher just for leadership, he plays hard and is a good character guy, he still has 2-3 good years. He may be our only starter with an adequate amount of playoff experiance or superbowl (considering we ever make either again)

    We dont know yet if TKO is going to be able to play at the level he once did (cant pay him what we are if he's not going to play better than average) So I believe we'll need Fletcher so our LB talent isnt wiped out . Clements will most likely be shown the door as his CB skills seem to have been lost and Mcgee seems to be covering #1 recievers more and more so I think we should keep london to have a quality veteran on the Field.

  7. Is there anyone here who has forgotten this team is officially rebuilding? Is there anyone here who doesn't realize that the Bills would struggle quite a bit this year? Is there anyone here who thought JP would be a superstar over night? Did anyone actually think that a new scheme on offense and defense would be adapted to in the first five games?

     

    I'm amazed that people won't accept that in a rebuilding year these struggles happen. The Bills lost a game they should have won. Guess what - that's what rebuilding teams do!

     

    That doesn't mean it shouldn't be upset, but when I see people mentioning that the QB should be benched, that Ralph is cheap, that Levy can't build a good team (in one year, no less!), that the coaches suck, etc. it makes my jaw drop. Get real, folks.

    good call not to mention we have 5 rookies getting plenty of playing time, new coaching schemes, they brought in bust coaches with williams and mularky so we had to rebuild our rebuilding twice, our patience has run thing but we now have something to build on

  8. We need beef on both sides of line. we are constanly muscled on th interior. Donahue tried building this team bass ackwards. Good teams are built from the inside out, we went and got Willis, JP, and Evans and settled for walmart special offensive linemen we need at least one stud on the oline we can count on

  9. It is definitely wrong to say that most of his sacks come in garbage time.  First off, when you say garbage time, do you mean when the Bills are so far ahead that it's obvious the opponent needs to pass, and the outcome of the game is already pretty certain?  ?  ?  ?  Which games were those? 

     

    2005 6 of 17 sacks came in Bills victories

    2004 5 of 8 sacks came in Bills victories

    2003 5 of 11.5 sacks came in Bills victories

    too lazy to check 2002 and 2001...

     

    I DO see Schobel getting more than half of his sacks from persistence more than a dominant first move, but there's nothing wrong with that.

    Garbage time as in sacks forced by good coverage, he rarely beats his blocker and blows up a play he usually cant get to the QB until the QB runs out of options and he picks him up

  10. What is the opinion of Aaron Schobel around here?  I know he has had some big games for the Bills where he has constantly been in the opposing QB's face.  However, I have noticed that in many games (and the Chicago game in particular) Schobel tries his speed rush to the outside, and is bumped upfield by the tackle, leaving him out of the play when the QB steps up or hands off.

     

    After 5 games this year, he has 9 tackles (4 solo and 5 Zach Taylors), while his DE counterparts Denney and Kelsay both have twice as many.  And two of Schobel's four solo tackles have been sacks.

     

    My question is this:  When we look back at the end of the year, and Schobel has 13 sacks, many people are going to say he had a decent year.  However, is he just selling himself out to get sacks with his outside speed rush, that more often than not leaves him completely out of the play?  Or is he doing many things we casual fans do not notice, and earning his sacks along the way?

     

    Is he the pass-rush asset his stats suggest he is, or is he a run defense liability?

    Schobel is a quality defensive end he gets more attention than Kelsay and Denney he also plays across from left tackles who are generally better than right tackles that his counterparts oppose. Schobel is not an elite player by any means and its has been pretty much understood that most of his sacks come in garbage time

  11. ........has anyone, even privately, considered that Spikes may be staging his own "silent protest" over the way the Bills dealt with Troy Vincent?

     

    Takeo was outspoken about the transaction, and has since been quite both on (meaning he has not played) and off the field.

     

    I am not questioning his heart, nor am I saying he is completely healthy.  Recovering from his Achilles surgery, and his tweaked hamstring is not easy.

     

    But...............it also would not surprise me if he was able to play, but instead, was choosing no to as a message.

    Lets be honest here, Crowells numbers are just as good, and Ellison has really played well, where paying spikes huge money, and could use it for some line depth, If somebody else steps up as a leader how much are we going to miss him?
