    Donte Whitner and Leodis McKelvin

    in The Stadium Wall Archives

    Posted · Edited by rafter

    Whitner had another fine game, all around. He's having a quietly very good year.

     

    I read somewhere McKelvin gave up the touchdown pass to TO after he fell down to allow the long pass completion to TO a play earlier. From what I saw, while McKelvin was lined up opposite TO on the touchdown pass, but was not responsible for his coverage when he released to the middle. That was on Byrd, I believe.

     

    Right.

    Did Byrd get benched for Wilson after that point?

    How can you personally guarantee he will be a Bill when there's a chance he won't be available to be drafted by the Bills. By the looks of things the Panthers and the Cowboys aren't even trying anymore. As bad as the Bills are, they're least trying.

     

    Agreed. I have a feeling the cowboys & panthers will both be drafting ahead of the bills. Id imagine the cowboys would pass up on a QB, but the panthers would definitely jump on one.

    Merriman: After these next 9 games...

    Zero. Jay Glazier commented after talking to Merriman when picked up off waivers his attitude was something like 'What did I do in a previous life to deserve this'. Merriman told him he would report to Buffalo because he wants to play this year. Glazier then went on to say he thought he was outta here as soon as FA starts.

     

    Who can blame him?

     

     

    I am pretty sure he was offering his own opinion and not quoting anything from Merriman. Feel free to spin it how you like though.

    Fitz---100 QB rating...WTF??

    Fitz has a 99.9 QB rating with 7 TDs and 2 INTs, and is completing 61.2% of his passes. He isn't turning into a stud QB or anything, but he is competent enough that the Bills are scoring points, moving the ball and scored enough points in 2 out of his 3 games to win.

     

    Not the answer long term, but also not the reason the Bills are 0-3 in his 3 starts either...

     

    Fitzpatrick is the least of our problems right now.

    Its been nice knowing yall; Final notes and more..

    Oh get off your high horse. Not everyone is cheery and happy to see the Bills get destroyed week in and week out. It has nothing to do with being a bandwagon fan or front runner, it has to do with not wanting to be disappointed each and every game. If you really knew me you wouldn't be saying stupid sh-t like "So you want to be a bandwagon fan." Get over yourself.

     

    No, it's pretty much being a bandwagon fan. It's not like the Bills or any other team have never been bad before. A fan that is only around for the good times is a bandwagon fan. He might as well go root for the Jets, they're mostly comprised of em.

    Its time to move on to Brian Brohm

    Oh gee, we invested alot of time in Brohm! Guess what - alot of teams have invested a year in their third string quarterback, and you don't see them losing sleep over seeing what they got. They already know: a 3rd stringer.

     

    With Fitzpatrick we may finally have the semblance of an offense, capable of doing more that going three-and-out every drive. That means we are *finally* getting a chance to see what our receivers can do, our backs and line, and whether we can sustain drives and set plays up with the play-calling.

     

    What's more important to this franchise: seeing Brohm and Levi flail away haplessly, or starting to build something with the rest of the offense so that if-and-when we get a franchise quarterback he has a jelling supporting cast and a cohesive system to work in?

     

    Completely agree with ya. With Fitzpatrick in there we can finally evaluate the other pieces and see who fits where.

    354-396-8 says it all

    That's correct, the Jets have sucked a lot over the years. However, there is one big difference between the Bills and the Jets. The Jets have a super bowl trophy.

    But my point remains, why are we surprised that the Bills suck? There is nothing in the team's history that suggests we should be shocked by yet another lousy season.

     

    The Jets won that trophy so long ago half their fan base wasn't even born. The bills 2 AFL championships a few years earlier are just as valid.

    In football the past does not necessarily predict the future (SAINTS). If you were a Jet fan, would you be posting on their board the teams overall record? That way the fans would know to stop wasting their time, because their overall record dictates the future is hopeless.
