I support Willis, but we only have one option in response to this. It's time for the return of a short yardage legend.
Bring back Kenneth Davis.

Wait, so what's the deal here? NBC has an exclusive on NFL highlights...except for SportsCenter? But they can't call the show PrimeTime?

No, he got past the marker, and then got even a bit further after his knee had already hit. On the broadcast they showed a good replay and in a Vick-like manner he kept his knee off the ground incredibly deep into his lunge. I really thought he had it and that they brought it back too far. I was even thinking Jauron may opt to challenge the spot.

This question was answered perfectly in the post right before yours:
Could it be as simple as this - if the Bills ever want Losman to progress as a QB they would like him to learn the fundamentals (which through his career, he hasn't)? If you design plays that have him leaving the pocket a lot, he'll just revert to the comfort zone of the back foot throwing jumpy happy guy.Once they feel that he can stand in the pocket to deliver a nice spiral in the face of the pressure, Fairchild will start throwing more things in the game plan.
Let him get nice and comfy in the pocket, and instead of taking off when his first guy isn't open, let him stand in there and go through his progressions. Once he learns how to do that and we're comfortable with his pocket presence we can start letting him pick his spots to run. The last thing we want is him reverting back to last year's Losman, which involved altogether too much scrambling and not enough checking down. He's on the way though, as he did a good job of this today.

I HATE that call. Kick the FG- even more than the three points it keeps the momentum on the Bills side. That freaking play cost the Bills the game. Never, ever, ever give up points on the road, especially with a lead. I hated the call when he made it and I hate it even more now after Jauron said they made up their mind to go for it way before the play even came up. Look at the F'in game situation and then make the call. They AREN'T good enough yet so that makes it even more disgusting that they took a chance like that.
The refs sucked big time- just like they always do when the Bills play NE. The refs have to be scared of NE for some reason. NE held all day long and never got called once. The block in the back calls were marginal at best, especially on the Whittner INT. Blowing the whistle on an INT return that would have been a TD while at the same time calling a bad penalty is inexcusable.
It's a GDMF rerun every MF'in time we play the CSMF Patiots. I am sick and tired of it.
Also, Vincent needs to hang it up. He is injured way too much. Coy Wire is a giant POS. The Pats torched our defense for over 160 rushing yards. No depth on D will hurt. WM was invisble in the 2nd half. No deep threat today and I have no idea why they didn't even try a deep pass. They should have been 1-0 now they are staring 0-2 right in the face once again. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Anyone who says "It was close so that's something" or "There were positives". Stick it. They lost. They should have won. It sucks. End of story.
Actually, I would have seen kicking the field goal as the option that would be "giving up points." You should be able to pick up a couple of feet on 4th down, and they would have if McGahee ran it correctly. Therefore, with the field goal you're only getting 3 points when you should have a crack at getting 7.
As you said, you shouldn't be giving up points on the road.
Just because McGahee f'ed up on the play doesn't mean it was a bad coaching decision.

"The Bills had one more good chance to drive for a potential game-winning score, but on fourth-and-eight at the New England 40 Holcomb checked down to Eric Moulds, who was stopped for no gain."
My favorite play of all last year from Mr. Noodle. You just KNEW that even tho they had the lead in that game they were going to lose.
Whenever he gets into a conversation about the Bills quarterback position, my father will still always cite that one play as the reason why Kelly Holcomb should no longer be on this team.
I don't know if I agree or not, but that was a truly disgusting play without a doubt.
-
Pass the sh--, man.
Go Bills.
-
I believe McCargo plays Triplett's position, and he can only play the spot occupied by Williams and Anderson in pass rushing situations, like 3rd and long.
-
Uh...they usually lose?
-
Yeah and whose the leader and most important member of their defense? Richard Seymour, a big chunk of 1st round gold. You need to get players in a combination of ways, but the draft is a significant part of it.
-
-
And if you wanted to fairly compare these drafts, you'd have to do so after the same amount of time, such as looking at the 2005 draft now, and comparing those players' status to those of the 2006 draft at the start of next year. That way, you're looking a both drafts after the same amount of time.
In other words, let me know the status of each player in the 06 draft class at the start of next season.
-
Agreed Rico, I thought we should have cut Vincent and let Ko start, keeping Baker around on the bench. Vincent always seems to be late on the deep balls, and I think some youth at that spot would be refreshing.
-
Actually, I can't stand Clements on punt returns, and I was relieved when they started using Parrish in that role. Clements NEVER just goes straight ahead. No matter what, he ALWAYS begins by running across the field. He could have 7-8 yards of open space in front of him and instead of just turning on the jets straight ahead, his first steps would be dancing to the side. Sometimes it works out, but alot of times you've got to just run ahead and find a lane that way, and I think Parrish has a much better sense for it.
-
It's amazing, all of a sudden every other topic is dedicated to mocking the media.
-
Yeah, they looked crappy but it was still a good time and good to see them win it in the end. The kicking game and pass protection both definitely must be improved.
-
Meh, I liked Bledsoe and still have no problem wearing his jersey. That's obviously just me though.

I'll be there LIVE and for free too, as I've just started my first year at UB and students get in for free. I'm pretty excited for it.
-
Yeah, this would probably work with most positions. The higher the percentage of your first-day picks that go on to fill starting spots, the better your team will be. It's obvious and statistics aren't needed to grasp that.
Because when your picks aren't filling starting spots, then they're busts, and thats wasting very good oppurtunities to get good players.

You're talking about two completely different animals. One school can produce good players at a given position because of good coaching in that area, and once they gain the reputation for handling a position well, the big-time high school recruits will see it as a more desirable place to play. As top-level recruits begin going to a certain school for this reason, the cycle not only continues but grows because this reputation the school has for producing well at that position becomes more and more prevelant and thus more and more top-level recruits want to go there, and it goes on and on.
This effect isn't very likely to surface on a broad, conference-wide generalization, such as "all receivers who go to a MAC school are doomed to fail in the NFL." The reason is that few people would ever realize an entire college football conference isn't producing at one individual position. And even if they did notice, few people would give it any significance because the basis of it makes no sense. It's unrealistic to believe that every team in a college football conference has some sort of flaw that stops recruits from succeeding in the NFL when they otherwise would have had a good career. I personally find believing that to be preposterous.
-
It's ridiculous to say that a MAC receiver will never succeed in the NFL. What, has someone cojured a magic spell or cursed all MAC wideouts until the end of time? Because THERE IS NO MORE LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR IT. It's merely coincidence that, since Randy Moss, only players from other positions have established themselves in the NFL, and in time your theory will become a falsity.
-
I liked the way he stepped straight up into the pocket on the deep ball to Price. This is one thing Bledsoe was always very good at. Many young (especially young and mobile) quarterbacks will instead try to run around the edge of the outside rush, instead of just stepping up, and we've seen JP do that before. He showed progress, and that's the name of the game for a young starting quarterback. Here's to hoping he continues to improve.

We lost today....why dont I feel

Exactly. He's a bit more than midway through his rookie season in term of starts, but he's only had 1 !@#$ing start with this staff and this system. Give the guy a chance, Peyton Manning and Carson Palmer got more than 9 starts before they were labeled "winners" or "losers".
