Mark VI Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 The AFC East was ripe for the picking this year. Unfortunately, the entire organization decided to underachieve and didn't focus enough on the onfield product. Holes in the trenches are all too evident . The playcalling and defensive schemes defy any semblance of long term winning logic. TD unfortunately just signed an extension. One must hope he now realizes he is far too full of himself and needs to open his eyes. The Front 7 on Defense is weak against the run. If you can't stop this, then you'll NEVER win in the NFL. Dillion was hurt and shouldn't have played last night. He still had little trouble picking up yardage in crunch time. All healthy RB's run right through us with ease and TD needs to find quality talent. The OL is flawed. Both Guard positons need upgrading. Gandy is a solid backup but a LT is needed. Teague needs to leave and Preston should take some snaps with J.P. THIS season to see if he's anything. We may have to sign a Vet WR if Moulds cannot reduce his cap killing contract. Outside of that, take a break for a year from Offensive skill position players. I no longer care about TE's who can deep snap and play Tuba in the band. We have enough QB's,RB's,WR's and TE's. Make some tough cap decisions on Vets who can't help us win. Open up some cap space and sign some top talent for the trenches. OL and DL. OL and DL. OL and DL. Throw in a LB and a Safety. Coaching - on D, Gray leaving would be a good thing. Hire Dom Capers if Houston fires him. Even last night, the blitz happy panic D returned in crunch time. The CB's are hung out to dry with actual QB pressure occurring all too infrequently. Gray can't adjust when it's not working. On Offense, stick with the run to set up more play action. I hate the imploding trick plays that work once every 20 times. Learn where the first down markers are on 3rd down. Losman is the starting QB and Holcomb is a decent backup. Establish that thinking Now. Start giving some young players some snaps. You can't learn on the bench. Start establishing a winning mentality for the first time in 6 years. No more false promises. The fans are doing their job when it comes to suporting this underachieving dreck. About time this organization started doing theirs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdelma Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Upgrade the middle of the D should be priority one. Fletcher is done here, Bills need an interior stud like Ted of fat pat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One must hope he now realizes he is far too full of himself and needs to open his eyes. 491448[/snapback] guess again.........if his comments from "ask tom donahoe" are any indication, he still thinks all the pieces are in place and that "we need to be more consistant" and "we still have the potential"........he still doesn't get it, just like last off-season where he didn't spend for quality and settled for other team's rejects.......

Mark VI Posted October 31, 2005 Author Share Posted October 31, 2005 or get fired first..... 491820[/snapback] It almost seems impossible, after reading of his extension. That's why I wonder if he can actually EVER open his eyes and aquire decent talent for the OL and DL this coming off-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubes Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Can't really argue with any of that, Mark. Keep repeating the mantra...OL and DL...OL and DL...OL and DL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted October 31, 2005 Share Posted October 31, 2005 Well again, publicly he has to say that. Whether he thinks they suck or not, he's not going to say that. I doubt players would play very wel lthe rest of the year if he came out and stated so and so is terrible. guess again.........if his comments from "ask tom donahoe" are any indication, he still thinks all the pieces are in place and that "we need to be more consistant" and "we still have the potential"........he still doesn't get it, just like last off-season where he didn't spend for quality and settled for other team's rejects....... 491801[/snapback] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
