MadBuffaloDisease Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 You just pointed out the problem perfectly. I'm not saying Losman is a problem, but he is a potential problem. At the same time however he could be a savior. It always starts with the QB and ends with QB. We're only going to go as far as Losman can take us. Wrong. Without a great defense you cannot win a SB. With an average QB, you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 We always hear about the key to coaching is putting players in a position to succeed. And it's true. You play to their strengths. This off season, the Bills brass are putting their coaches in a position to succeed. The abilities of MM and TC and even Sam Wyche were severely hampered by Bledsoe, and the fact they were installing a new system they couldnt run on all cylinders. This year, with a year under their belt, and a mobile quarterback, and a lot of speed on the outside, and a stud running back who can go inside and outside and catch, the coaches will be put in a position to succeed, and play to their strengths. With the defense and special teams intact, barring major injuries, this team will be a failure if it doesnt reach the playoffs, second year QB or not.

Fla Bills Fan Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Wrong. Without a great defense you cannot win a SB. With an average QB, you can. 365143[/snapback] I agree with you, as long as the QB does not lose games for you by turning the ball over as Bledsoe did, a team can go far. Balt won with Dilfer & the Bucs won with Johnson. How many superbowls did Marino win? Will P Manning ever even make it to the big dance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBills#1 Posted June 23, 2005 Author Share Posted June 23, 2005 I think a defense can carry you to a superbowl but not our defense. They aren't on the same level as the Ravens or Patriots. Those are the only 2 teams I see being able to carry a team to the championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brihs2005 Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Does anyone remember TD's pittsburgh days. I always remember him being credited with great drafting of their defenders, but i don't ever remember them having a great offense for most of the years he was there. I don't think he drafted any of their stars (except maybe Bettis). For those that are more familiar or have a better memory, please let me know what his Steelers days were like. Did he build a defense and hope that won him a championship? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
