Rubes Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 NFL Shutdown Corner on Yahoo Kiko Alonso and Buffalo's draft class: The Bills lost 27-24 in overtime to the Bengals, but there's not much shame in losing to a good team while starting a quarterback (Thad Lewis) who was on the practice squad last week. What's apparent is that the Bills have a heck of a rookie class. Alonso, a prime candidate for defensive rookie of the year, had 22 (!!!) total tackles from his middle linebacker spot. Athletic receiver Marquise Goodwin, criminally underused at Texas, scored a 40-yard touchdown with 1:08 to tie the game. Receiver Robert Woods has had his moments, and of course quarterback EJ Manuel looks like he belongs. You can build a consistent winner with draft classes like these. So we at least got that going for us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 NFL Shutdown Corner on Yahoo So we at least got that going for us... Lol, fail on the Quarterback named. Thad throws a pretty long ball for sure. This team isn't an automatic "W" any more for the opposition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 I'm just glad we have one or two decent options for backup QB on the roster, finally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyHorseAteTheKid Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Thad had a decent game and his recievers dropped a few for sure.. hope things improve for him, I really like this guy.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 While the Win-Loss record is uninspiring, there are some players on this team that are making the Bills a lot more exciting to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Hindsight Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I personally thought Kiko played his worst game as a pro yesterday and hope it was just an abberation but he was getting beat all over the field yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. In the recent past, I would TiVo the game and maybe watch...these days, I am actually watching live and that says a lot...fun to watch.

JimBob2232 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Good teams string 2-3 of these draft classes together, then supplement with FA. We're heading the right direction, but need continued success and another good draft next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewEra Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 I agree with you. he had a paul poslusny type of game. lots of tackles but all of them were far down the field No, not all of them were far down field. Yes, he got burned a fair share vs a super quick RB in Bernard....and even schooled by Dalton, but he made/assisted on several stops at the line of scrimmage. While it may have been his "worst' game as a pro....it was still a pretty good game and we should feel fortunate to have such a stud in the middle of our D. Finally.

Mark Vader Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 (edited) I personally thought Kiko played his worst game as a pro yesterday and hope it was just an abberation but he was getting beat all over the field yesterday And it probably won't be the last time when he has a bad game. Right now, Kiko Alonso is the most exciting LB this team has had since Takeo Spikes, and could be the best ILB on this team since we had Chris Spielman. When the Bills drafted Alonso, I was a bit surprised. I knew he had a very good senior year, but whenever I hear about the Oregon Ducks, I think about players on offense not defense. Guess I should have been more open minded. Alsonso is one of those players that when the Bills are on defense, you watch him on every play.

3rdand12 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 He is a Natural for ILB. thank gosh the Buffalo Bills finally.. have somebody in there that will play the postion decently. The Sheppard Wanstadt era was rather painful. And comparisons to PoZ are unfair ( i liked that guy though ) Putting Kiko Alonso on the Buffalo Bills at MLB was a solve for a very key piece of the big puzzle. 22 tackles means hustle. and he did have a struggle too. Respect has been earned for him by meself by now. for him. well done kid. Go Alonso! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPS Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 I personally thought Kiko played his worst game as a pro yesterday and hope it was just an abberation but he was getting beat all over the field yesterday Did the DLine play have anything to do with where Alonzo was making tackles? And he DID make the tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kellyto83TD Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Well if we can draft two Guards, a DE or two, a DT and a couple OLB's and CB's as well as we drafted last year we are going to be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
