  1. Look I wasn't trying to compare quotes but more so body language and emotion, James Lofton said he played football with Marcus Allen and another good rb who I can't remember right now, and then Thurman and said Thurman was the most competitive running back he ever played with.  I don't see what Willis has ever done for you to be on his jock, I mean he definately is not garbage.  He is talented and I'm sure he plays hard to a degree, but I hate seeing people compare him to Thurman Thomas who will be going into the Hall of Fame this year.  Has Willis shown even the slightest signs of performing at a HOF level yet?

    Look through the thread and show me the post where somebody said McGahee is in the same league as Thurman. You're likely referring to Dax, who merely said McGahee's lack of heart and passion is a misconception. You're fighting a straw man that you built all on your own.

  2. In any event, I really want to see how the Bills respond to getting blown out. I think that is more of a test than hoping that our rebuilding team will march into the home of the nfl's best team and walk out with an upset win.

    I like that. Lets get our feet under us, regroup, put the past behind and go beat a team that we ultimately should beat. 3-3 looks a whole lot better than 2-4.

     

    Go Bills!

  3. Dax, I'm a McGahee supporter but if the guy is so childish that he can't put up with having a backup taking 20-30% of the carries then let him go. Just look around the league, there's as many teams with a second running back who plays a role in the offense as there are teams that use a single feature back. He'd still be the unquestioned number 1, but it would be nice to have some versatility and a change of pace. I don't know anything about Wolfe in particular but if he could give us what Turner gives to San Deigo, than I'm all for it. As long as our 1st rounder is a left tackle!

  4. But yes, McGahee is all hype with few results.  Yeah his YPC was ok against Chicago, but before they absolutely buried the Bills it was in the 1.5 range,800264[/snapback]

    If you think this isn't explained by our offensive line play you're crazy. They gave McGahee NO room and NO lanes Sunday, especially when the game was close.

  5. So we should hold Jauron and the Bills to this one example, and not the 100's of ones that contradict it? The truth is without a decent QB no coach in the NFL will get a fair shake. The ones that have QB's get way to much credit, and the ones that don't get way to much blame.

    Its a good point, and I agree with you. But if the whole team is imploding and everything is a disaster, we've got a bad D and little running game after 3-4 years, you've got to re-evaluate Jauron no matter who the quarterback is. But if the team is giving effort and playing well, but JP (or whoever) isn't getting it done and it looks like we're a quarterback away from contending, then he gets a pass for not winning in his first few years. In which case we go out and find him a QB who can win.

  6. Your very PRESENCE is troll-like. You disappear when Losman has a good game and reappear when he doesn't.

     

    You're a troll.

    799837[/snapback]

    <_< He's making intelligent points and your response is to call him a troll. No matter what they post, everyone jumps on HA and JDG immediately and without a second thought. You're looking like far more of a troll than he is right now.

  7. Uncoincidentally Marv Levy is considered a great HC.

     

    I defy people to come up with examples of HC's that had success for an extended period of time without a great QB. I could come up with 100's of examples of great HC's with great QB's. The relationship isn't independent for some of those names, but for many it is. Still we expected/expect Gregg, Mularkey, or Jauron to right the ship no matter what happens at QB. Not how it works folks.

    799891[/snapback]

    Who was at quarterback when Mularkey had those two top 5 offenses that Simon was referring to? <_<

  8. One things for sure, the Offense is whats holding this team back right now.....

    799841[/snapback]

    Yeah, cause our defense was JUST PEACHY yesterday. Our run defense must improve before we get to the point where we can say, "the D is set, now lets just fix the offense."

  9. <hijack>

     

    Yeah except for the fact that in 2 of his 3 years as an O-coordinator his teams finished in the Top5 of NFL offenses.

    799866[/snapback]

    <_<

     

    And once upon a time, Jim Kelly went to 4 superbowls. That doesn't mean he's relevant in today's NFL. Whatever Mularkey had in Pittsburgh is long gone now. The league has passed him by.

  10. who really gives a crap? what so we drop a few more spots on draft day?

    it's obvious this team isn't going to be a play off contender at this point, so why get excited about a meaningless win over detroit?

     

    oh ya so we can get all excited again and then get kicked in the gut by a half decent team making us look like a joke.

     

    blah.

    Dax, you wanted to call me a bad fan during the week? THIS is a bad fan.

  11. Relax. Take a deep breath. I'm surprised Buffalo isn't the most depressed city/ Heart Attack Capital of the World with the attitude you all have.

    Reading other threads, I haven't noticed anybody being overly negative about this game. Most of the intelligent people on the board were expecting a loss going in, and would have been pleasently surprised by an upset win. No post I've read looked at this game and (without sarcasm) said 'thats it, we suck, get a new quarterback, running back, GM and head coach' or anything to that effect. The general attitude on TSW seems to be that we lost on the road to a better team, and being a young team we'll learn and get better. Maybe you can point me to the posts or threads you're referring to?

  12. You're right.  It's very subtle, but I thought it was very important that DJ kept JP in.  You can mess up a young QB, just like last year, by pulling him in a game like this.  Good pickup.

    799419[/snapback]

    And with the way the media clings to controversy, things might have gotten messy if we switched quarterbacks and Nall or Holcomb came in and looked good. I don't want anyone calling for a quarterback change at this point, as Losman needs more time to be evaluated fairly. Its garbage time, just leave our young QB in there and let him gain another posession worth of experience.

  13. You're telling me you sit there watching a game and are surprised when there is an onside kick?  You must be kidding.  Onside kicks are practiced much more regularly than trick plays.

    799053[/snapback]

    So when we got that onside kick against Minnesota, the one that was waved off by that fair catch penalty, you weren't surprised? Knew that was coming, did you?
