Bill from NYC Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 The following will include general thought/opinions about the team. Feedback is especially welcomed. 1) Justin Bannan was out there giving it his all. The problem is, he does not belong in professional football. He is so bad it is literally painful to watch. I hope when he is cut that there is even a little bit of cap savings. 2) Please Coach April, keep Josh Reed off of special teams. Are you kidding me? The highlights will show that it was good old Josh who gave up that touchdown. Please trust me on this one. No, I am not a fan of Josh. 3) OK, I'll say it.....I would like to keep Milloy (at a reduced salary) for one more season. If we are to dump a safety, make it Vincent. 4) Kelly Holcombe reminds me of an older woman who looks good for her age. He can never, not friggin ever be a starting qb on a team with any plans of going anywhere. 5) Speaking of qb, I have very little faith in JP. I confess that I don't like him, nor have I ever. I thought that the trade for him was just idiotic then, and I haven't changed my mind. In summary.....the Bills have no qb imo. 6) I am not a fan of TD. He sold us out in draft after draft while trying to make a profit for RW in lieu of building a good football team. That said, the very first person that the Bills should fire is Gray. Sorry, but he is an out and out boob. He is bad beyond words. I would prefer Walt Corey, and he sucked. Make no mistake, Gray is totally incompetent. He is a total disaster. 7) Speaking of DCs, Donnie Henderson will be a great head coach some day. Of this I am sure. 8) Check out my tone here. I am NOT getting nasty, but you people who want to keep Moulds are simply wrong. He can catch passes that are thrown right to him, but that is about all. He is NOT a #1 receiver. He is past his prime and declining before our eyes. 10.85 million in 06? Are you kidding me? No, I would prefer the 5 plus million dollar cap room, thank you very much. 9) I know, Schobel had no sacks today, but he was back in pass coverage in our stupid defensive system, and was making tackles on running plays. AS can play. 10) CV had one of his rare decent games this season. I think that Eric Setterstrom of U Minn. could easily surpass the output/performance of CV. He too (imo) is done. 11) Last but not least....MaGahee is a very good back. He gave it his all today and was imo very, very good. He can SEE the few holes that do exist ala Thurman. MaGahee is an extremely talented player. Case closed. 12) OK, I lied; one more thing.... Jason Peters kicked ass today. I am liking him more each week.

GO TBD!!!!!!!!!!GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 547170[/snapback] Nice observations. I think Milloy should go. He has not been able to adequately cover any one for years. Whan a good qb needs to complete a pass they normally zero in on Milloy or Fletcher (I don't mean this as a huge knock on Fletcher, but he is a little weak in coverage).

TravelingDad48 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Watched the entire game ... wondered what new and interesting ways the Bills would find to lose ... which they did ... What I learned today : 1) We wasted another chance for Losman to grow ... 2) Kelly is a backup at best - seems to go to the primary receiver time and time again no matter how he is covered 3) We lack a quality running back - who can stay in the game for all 3 downs - I am not impressed WM has over 100 yards - its pitafull he is seldom in on 3rd downs - can't he block or catch? 4) Peters is a beast - I watched he closely for a lot of the game - his man never beat him - he pushes him right out of the play 5) Play calling is either awful - or its being changed at the line - as they continue to throw 3 yard passed on 3rd and eight 6) Special teams is human - for all their great play can't blame them for the lose - defence is contantly beat and offence can'tscore 7) Bills have better fans - did you see all those empty seats in the largest city in America ! 8) We saw a typical Sam Atams gane - 3 takles - 2 sacks - all in teh first 6 minutes - its showed he had 16 tackles for the year - boy ! 1 a game !! Hard to even list the places to work on - also hard to see who stays and goes. I know people want to clean house but I think the D needs some small changes not wholesale while the biggest problem for the offense is the line and play calling that uses the skills the team has better. All in all a sad season to watch ... not sure who to rut for in the playoffs .. maybe Seattle ... someone having a good year that is a big underdog .. will at least be use to rooting for an underdog !! Have a good new year ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 4) KH is not the long term answer and they need to bring in a 3rd QB in the offseason or trade for one that can compete for #1 5) DOn't think you can write off JP yet. He's proven that he's not some wonderkid that can come in ala Brady, Big Ben, etc... but he has not proven that he will be a bust yet. 11) Disagree with you completely about McGahee. Trade him right now while you can still get some value. RB is the easiest position to fill (although i agree a guy like Reggie Bush is an awesome...rare.. talent and should be the #1 pick). It's tiresome to hear about the O-line every year. I agree they are sub-par but just like some QB's make a bad line look good, some RB's do the same. Willis cannot. He's not good at creating holes where they ain't and now that teams are gameplanning against him he's useless in the red zone. Get rid of him if you can get a good draft pick.

He played on a great team with a great offensive line. He, because he was following the likes of Larry Little and Bob Kuchenberg, was an absolute star. He would push the pile on virtually every carry. On goal line runs, he was next to impossible to keep out of the endzone. Free agency was new in those days. Czonka was signed by the Giants as a UFA, and he was terrible. He had no blockng and could do nothing when left to his own devices. His career didn't last much longer. My point is that if WM was a Steeler of Chief, he would be on the ESPN highlights every week. IMO it is a big mistake to think that WM is anything close to what is wrong with this football team. Moreover, he (imo) represents one of the few bright spots. That said, nothing will matter until the Bills can block and tackle people at the line of scrimage. Nothing.

Gray had no answers. I'm hoping to see at least new O and D coordinators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Case closed. 547170[/snapback] Maybe I'm grasping here, but is anyone else just a bit puzzled by the all-of-a-sudden great game by McGahee on the last game of the year after almost half a season of mailing it in? If you call me nuts I won't get offended, but it just seems to smell a bit to me. Smells a bit like Rosenhaus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, it seemed like Willis decided what MM wanted may not matter anymore.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 What ? 547506[/snapback] Do what I do. Just change all VA's doeses to doesn'ts, and bads to goods, and get rid of hims to sign him at all costs, no push to great push, terribles to terrifics, nevers to always, etc., and you get a pretty good read on the team and league and game.

YOOOOOO Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Is that all? 547491[/snapback] Well if you've played football before, you'd know maintaining your lane is the most important thing on special teams(and of course making the tackle) which Greer didnt do either of.... To blame Reed(im guessing its the hate against him) on that return is just stupid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
