I have the same opinion of Leinart that I had at draft time. The guy will be a good QB if he lands in the right place. Buffalo in December isn't that place. Arizona in a dome suits his abilities perfectly.

If the contest was to predict the Colts record months before the season started someone would win. What we need to do is turn this into a Colts board and finally LA would get to buy someone dinner.

What on earth would make you think that this topic will ever die?

Even bad teams don't get blown out each and every week. They usually have a few here and there just to make sure people know they suck.

Because apparently the guy posting doesn't wash his hands after using the bathroom and is proud of it.

I guess this is the death of the kinder, gentler JSP? To tell the truth I didn't think he'd live this long.

What are you talking about, the team he drafted is loaded. You don't get that kind of talent in a 12 team league. One mistake he did make was drafting both Palmer and Rudi. If Cinci puts up 35 points his team going to have a great week but if they struggle the fantasy team will struggle too. It really comes down to points against, sometimes teams just get unlucky. In my second league my team is as follows (12 team league): QB: Vick RB: Ronnie Brown RB2: K. Jones, A. Green, R. Droughns WR: Holt WR2: Chambers or Evans TE: L.J. Smith K: Carney D: Vikings or Giants The team the original poster drafted is a MUCH better team than mine...yet somehow my team is about to be 4-1-1 (the one tie came when Green was a surprise scratch before his Monday night game 2 weeks ago). The team has accumulated this record because I’ve been fortunate enough to not play any of the top scoring teams in any week. To contrast this my main team (in my money league) is loaded yet was 2-3 coming into this week (it will most likely be 3-3 after this week). It doesn't matter if you score the 2nd or 3rd most points in your league each week if you're unlucky enough to play the 1st or 2nd highest scoring teams each week. In this league my 3 losses have ALL come when I played the highest scoring team of the week. A lot of it comes down to luck, you just hope your team is consistent all year long and the law of averages comes into play.

Which is why he told him to start Brown and Williams...

TH takes a hell of a pounding given his style. He ends up missing too many games and his career will end up being much shorter than McGahee's because of it. Although they have different styles their results are similar. Neither breaks long runs, both have career averages hovering around 4ypc and neither can block worth a damn. I'd take McGahee simply because he'll have a longer career and he holds onto the ball much better than Henry (Henry averages a lost fumble once ever 80 attempts while McGahee averages one once every 246 attempts).

Yeah I caught that one too and was perplexed that the official who was standing right there in perfect position didn't see the lineman basically tackle him.

He did miss a lot of time last year and got off on the wrong foot with the coaching staff (hence his one start last year). It looks like he's turned things around this year and is finally getting some playing time. Now that he's playing he's putting up pretty good numbers and running really f'in hard. This is the thing that is perplexing to me. Henry lays it all out there when he plays, I like watching guys like that even if they're not the most talented players on the field. I thought most fans appreciated that kind of effort. I guess not. He's not a great runner and is probably a below average one but his effort makes up for it. He almost wills himself to get yards. Btw, do you still think Henry is the worst blocking back in the league? I'd say Willis gives him a run for his money. I wonder if it's coincidence that the Bills never seem to be able to find ANY players, be they OL or RBs that can pick up the blitz.

I've never been a fan of Clements but blaming him for where he lines up is ridiculous.

I wouldn't say I am a "fan" but I was right here debating you that he wasn't nearly as bad as you attempt to make him out to be. He's a decent back, nothing more, nothing less.

Not to mention that a great RB isn't really a position needed for a team to win. Hell, the Jets are 3-3 and have the worst backfield in the league. Look how good everybody who runs behind that Steeler or Bronco lines looks? If a team has almost everything in place they have the luxury of drafting a RB in the 1st round (like say the Pats or the Colts). Otherwise, Imo, it's a wasted pick. I like McGahee but I totally agree with you he was a luxury pick (as was Parrish).

I wonder if anybody have the nerve to start a post this week getting pissed off when some analyst out there calls the Pats the lock of the week? HOW CAN THEY UNDERESTIMATE OUR TALENT LEVEL!!!!!!!!!!?????

Sadly for the past 6+ years I wake up on SUNDAY morning feeling this way. I already know how my day is going to go and it doesn't feel good.

Enter the poster that thought he'd be out of the league by now.

I have no idea how they could think Detriot is a worse team than the Bills. They ran over the Bills in just about every phase of the game. It wasn't nearly as close as the score indicated and that was with lots of starters out of the game with injuries.

So when you say, "I was willing to give this a shot" you mean 6 games? Yeah, you're right, that's plenty of time to implement an entire system, acquire the players for that system and get everybody on the same page working as one cohesive unit. You know I get as mad as anybody watching the games. My emotions get the better of me and I’m cussing out every Bill down to the ball boy. But a little bit after the game my intellect returns and I’m once again capable of rational thought. I guess it takes a bit longer for others to calm down.

There were several people on this board that said he was horrible and one poster went so far as to say he was so bad that he would be out of football within a year (or two) of leaving the Bills.

Actually the Giants won which was exactly the point of the first post you quoted. People keep getting pissed off at the QB play because they want a QB that can make up for the deficiencies of the entire team. The problem with that is there are only a few of those guys per generation. It's easier to improve the entire team than it is to get lucky and find one of those all time great QBs. Instead of dumping our QB every 2-3 years it would be nice if the front office would get off their asses and improve the OL. Losman was bad yesterday, even when he had time but if the OL would actually give him some protection the team still had a chance to win. Expecting the QB to drop back and do it all himself is expecting us to have a HoF QB.

I wish the Bills would have taken this advise.

Yeah, I wasn't happy with Rudi today either. At one point near halftime I had to turn it over to the Cinci game just to see if he had gotten hurt. I couldn't fathom that he'd have 0 fantasy points that far into the game. Thankfully I had Travis Henry plugged in there today and my late game guys came on strong (Gates, Parker, R. Brown, Pennington and Coles). I have a pretty big lead, let's just hope I can hold on.

That was a really weak chip block but I agree with the general idea of your post; Gandy was about as bad as an OL can be today.
