rockpile Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I had a few minutes this morning and watched them on TV. Something I have never done. Are they always this myopic? They spoke about the Bills & Vikings game and specifically pointed out McGahee's "poor performance". Um, his individual game rushing total was more than THE ENTIRE VIKINGS OFFENSE, by around 20 yards (I am too lazy to look it up)! Also, his 28 or so carries illustrated a solid game plan and ball control. OK, so he did not break 100 yards. I DON'T CARE! Go Bills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People see willis's 28-78-1, and his <3 ypc, and think he had a bad day because he "didnt do well in fantasy football" Everything is based now on how many fantasy points a player scores, and not how they actually performed in the game. Plus, looking at numbers is so much easier than actually doing your homework and watching the game and forming an educated opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenberg is a huge Jets fan, and he doesn't hide that fact, so you can kind of understand his negative attitude towards us. As far as Golic goes, I am not sure if you ever watch NFL Live, but that whole crew does not have a lot of love for the Bills, Golic included. That idiot Schlereth has not picked us to win a game once this season. He picks us to lose every week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drop Mike & Mike, and listen to Tony Bruno on the Sporting News Network on XM. He is much funnier, and it isn't the Pats/Jets/ Red Soxx slobber fest that ESPN is.

tennesseeboy Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Geez...WM really improved in his blocking in this game which is one of the big reasons we won the friggin game. M and M are morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 They're overpaid, overexposed hacks. Mike Greenberg is a local radio guy who somehow got a plum job. Ignore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaLee83 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 Whoever the fat one is on mike and mike I hope he drops dead from a heart attack. I hope the other (dorky) one drops dead because he shoved one of his star wars dolls too far up his a_s. I really dislike those guys, they never venture even near being objective. ESPN is a joke although I don't mind Dan Patrick as much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TB is from the Philly area (even though he lives in LA) and roots for the Eagles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R. Rich Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I don't know what the big deal is. Willis got over 62.5 yards in the game, didn't he? As long as he continues to do that, he's a lock for 1,000 yards. That is as reliable a measuring stick as possible for running backs, especially in a 16 game schedule.

YPC does NOT matter in fantasy. I think most owners would be pleased with the 13 or so fantasy points Willis scored yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I bet neither one of those guys watched the Bills Vikings game, they probably just looked at the stats in the newspaper and made their comments bases on that! What they didnt notice was how tough his yards were and how hard he had to work for his TD. Not to mention if he had a bad game picking up the blitz, Buffalo would have lost. McGahee was a stud picking up defenders blitzing. point being Buffalo won the game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkwwjd Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 I had WM starting in one league, and I was happy with my points. I'll take 13.8 points per player every week. Not to mention he had a catch for 4 yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVJ Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 And Willis is leading the NFL in rushing. It seems this year its alot tougher to run on NFL defenses. You have to follow Willis to know if he had a good game. This is one of those games I saw him fight for the extra yards, which is not always the case. And he had a great game putting up some nice blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 ESPN has gotten worse over the past few years - probably because the corporate suits encourage the Tedy Bruschi-type love towards the Pats, Jets, Red Sox, and any other trendy big-name stars (Terrell Owens, etc). The Bills just aren't in a big enough market where they can afford to spend too much time. If the big corporations keep sponsoring them enough, we'll keep hearing how great the Patriots are....

marauderswr80 Posted October 2, 2006 Share Posted October 2, 2006 im telling you with Willis leading the league in rushing, hes going to work harder then ever to lead the league this year! Your going to see a different McGahee every week from here on out. I think hes going to have the same type game this Sunday....25 plus carries for around 100 with a TD maybe, but picking up the blitzes with authority!
