VirginiaMike Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Quote from Poz "We knew it was going to be a challenge, but to give up 270 is not going to cut it." Giving up 270 yards in not going to cut it? Doh - that is the understement of the year. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The Bills put out the same pitiful run stoppers (Kyle Williams excluded) and expect to stop someone. They need to realize that the Peter principle is in effect with many of these players -- many of them have risen to the level of incompetence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope we find someone who can scheme a defense a little better than edwards and some player who show some skill. The desire is there, the skill is lacking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Ya. Somehow, I think if Poz can start making those tackles about 12 yards closer to the line of scrimmage it might "cut it". If I'm Buddy... I ain't even considering making Poz a qualifying offer after the season. We need real linebackers that enjoy punishing the opposition and inflicting pain. And to think, he filled Fletcher's roster spot. Wow... Bills sure whiffed badly on that one.... regressed by about 3 or for rungs on the performance ladder.

Bangarang Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) When Poz says 270, that's actually code for Chris Kelsay and the number of times he's been beat or out of position this season. Edited November 1, 2010 by Bangarang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flopagamo Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Pretty amazing that they gave up only 13 points, with that much hemmorhage in ground yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly hope we find someone who can scheme a defense a little better than edwards and some player who show some skill. The desire is there, the skill is lacking I think the point is that they're playing their best players and they're not good enough. They're not going to be able to add new players until the offseason. Your principle would apply if they came back next season with the same players and expected new results.

Doc Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Pretty amazing that they gave up only 13 points, with that much hemmorhage in ground yards. True that. Keeping a team to 10 points in regulation is almost invariably a win. Except for the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't get better by cutting your best LB and bringing in someone to replace him. You get better by cutting your worst LB, and bring in the same replacement. Poz is not the problem; he's just not good enough to be the solution by himself. If we'd re-signed Fletcher and drafted Poz as well, we would have wound up with a pretty solid LB corps. Instead, Poz was drafted as Fletcher's replacement, and Keith Ellison kept racking up starts. And for what it's worth, Fletcher is more durable than Poz, but that's about it. Both are solid but unspectacular NFL starters. Neither has ever made an All-Pro team or been voted a Pro Bowl starter, and I doubt either ever will.

Wagon Circler Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 At some point giving up huge rushing yardage week after week,you think we'd put eight in the box and run blitz. Push the safeties up and fill all the gaps. But we continue to play the same base defenses week after week and keep getting trampled. George Edwards for head coach! Quickest way to improve team is hire John Fox. At some point giving up huge rushing yardage week after week,you think we'd put eight in the box and run blitz.

Hmmm. 270 equals 3 times 90, Chris Kelsay's number. Coincidence? I think not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HereComesTheReignAgain Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This is the definition of insanity: Definition of INSANITY 1: a deranged state of the mind usually occurring as a specific disorder (as schizophrenia) 2: such unsoundness of mind or lack of understanding as prevents one from having the mental capacity required by law to enter into a particular relationship, status, or transaction or as removes one from criminal or civil responsibility 3a : extreme folly or unreasonableness b : something utterly foolish or unreasonable I'm not sure why, but it is a huge pet peeve when someone uses that stupid Einstein quote as the definition of insanity. I feel better now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure what game you were watching yestorday but I watched Poz get beat a few times by Charles in the passing game and saw many times he could not get off a block to make a tackle so if you say hes our best I say cut them all and get some girls from the LFL to pay D they would at least look good when getting blocked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be from him feeling the need to step up and fill gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
