I don't think that is a legitimate reason to jump off the bandwagon. ik know ti was a STUPID play and can't be live that he didn't get it down but it didn't cost us a playoff spot or anything. I think he'll make sure to never to do it again. Hopefully he keeps on developing into a very prductive recieving tight end and I agrre with the statement above that Everett be given a fair chance at it. I think he can develop into something. About the WR, besides Evans, the rest were kind of inconsistent and there is a major dropoff in production from Evans to the rest. http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/teams/stats?team=buf I like how Peerless played this year. I think he was very dependable. But, i think we need a taller posession reciever to start opposite of Lee to take off the double teams (even though they didn't really stop him anyways). Then put peerless in the slot, and I think that would be very good. I like Josh Reed too, I think he came along very well. The wild card is Roscoe Parrish? I like him as a speed threat and the punt returner but he only had 23 receptions and 2 touchdowns. I like his speed and quickness but he hasn't produced yet on the recieving end.

I think we need a big DT but I don't know if there are any in the FA market. The good ones in the draft I think will be gone early and I think that we should use the 12 pick on the MLB from Ole Miss, Patrick Willis. Fletcher definitly isn't coming back and this guy is the ideal replacement. 6'2, 240 with 4.4, 4.5 speed. This guys is gonna be a true monster and if he falls to us, we would be clinically insane to pass him up. Also, we signed Tripplett last year (how long?) and drafted McCargo and Williams so I'm not sure how Marv's gonna approach that.

I know we need a stud d tackle and I wish we could get one but I don't know is Marv is going to get one since we already got McCargo and Williams last year and just signed Tripplet. With that being said, I definitly think we need to get this guy to fill in for Fletcher cuz he is good as gone. Watch these two videos, these plays are sick and show you why we need to get him. He's fast, powerful, can tackle very well and we need his speed for the cover 2 at middle. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVaa8NWqync (this shows his speed to get the heisman runner up at the corner - listen to the announcers!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1YodiWVGS_8 (it speaks for itself) Patrick Willis in a Bills Uniform

Yea we definitly need to get a bigger MLB than Fletcher. The extra height would be a huge difference in the passing game, which always hurt fletcher, just for starters. Definitly got to have that BIG presence in the middle

Trying to see what the best option would be for the LB corps for next year. I think we let Fletcher go, get a new young MLB and leave the OLB's as Crowell and Spikes and see if Spikes can regain his play. If he can't, put in Ellison. But if he can, we have Ellison for Pass coverage and depth

I'm not sure about switching Spikes or Crowell to OLB cuz its a bigger switch than you think. All of the audibles and checks and plays go through the mlb and its a big responsibility. Also, playing it is much different from olb. Olb is all about coming in from the angles. MLB, you fight off centers and guards and fullbacks where olb's are more tight ends and fullbacks. They do see pulling guards and stuff but not like mlb's. I hope it would work so we could look elsewhere but I'm just not sure.

Yea Kelly washington I'm not sure about. Especially coming from the "Angel" like team of the Bengals, I dont think Marv would go after him. Dielman would be good but I'd guess he'd get re-signed by San Diego to keep their line intact after such a good season by LT. Ian Scott I'd rather not look at. If he was any good, he'd be making a diffference for the Bears right now but I think he's just a product of being around Tommy Harris. Aaron Smith could be a good addition but I think we need to focus on the DT position first for the d-line. If leonard is there in the 2nd round I'd take him. I wouldnt go LB in the first. I'd see who else is available and if there's a standout G or DT or CB (that could step in right away) I'd go there. If not, maybe trade down for extra draft picks??...

Yea I'm kind of torn about Fletcher. Sure he has 138 or whatever tackles and 96 solo, but most of them are 5 yards downfield or more. Yet, to defend fletcher, he doesn't have stud big defensive tackles like Ray lewis or Urlacher either. He is getting old but he didn't show any signs of slowing down this year. I tried to find the stats on his tackles for loss but couldn't (could anybody find em). He is the leader of the defense with spikes which is why I would overall keep him and get a big d tackle to take up some blockers. Any other opinions gents...?

Same here. A tall, hard working proven 2 or 3 reciever would be perfect for us. The detroit pair are failures and that would not help us in the least bit.

How about the develoment on Whitner and Simpson!! These two ROOKIE SAFETIES (one of the hardest positions to come into as a rookie) were very good at their job. they weren't ball hawking machines (YET) but with this yera under their belt, I think these two will be stars next year. They're the qb's of the secondary and I can't remember that last huge pass play they gave up. They looked a little shaky yesterday but the entire D did as well. I can't wait to see these two next year and what they can do!!! "Lets Go Buffalo!" '07

I understand that view, but he had literally 3 yards to put his foot down. I'm still dumbfounded by the play

Amen

I will agree with the arguments that Willis hasn't become hwat we expected but, I think next year, after another offseason with JP and that passing game and pretty much the same line, and the same system, I think we'll see a more productive Willis. If we don't, then we need to asses the situation but I think the offseason will finally catapult him to what he should be a superstar rb.(fingers crossed)

Yea even though that was a play, I think he came along this year and he is an underrated part of our runblocking scheme. I think this boneheaded play will haunt and motivate him to redeem himself.

Yea i think Johnson would be a good pick but i'm concerned about his injury issues. the 49ers drafted vernon davis for a reason so... Also, signing nc is huge for us, hopefully he plays the same way next year. Getting a stud DT in free agency or draft is more important than a WR but is Johnson from Georgia Tech or Samardzija from ND were on the board with no stud DT's, i'd take either one of them in a heartbeat. Need another LB for depth and need a new fullback..shelton is done and the loss of him yesterday hurt the running game more than we realize. Need to get rid of Gandy. Since day one I have said he stank and he has only proved my statement. Steinbech from the Bengals would be a great fit for the LG position and a new C would be good (fowler is a little weak and small). Also, maybe a new RG, not sure if preston is answer but we'll see next training camp. Most pumped I've ever been for next year. Lets Go Buffalo '07
