Reed83HOF Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 O almost fell off my couch last night when I heard the crackhead (Irvin) name Evans as his #1 game breaker and gave him props... Its kinda funny...no one is talking about JP, it was all about Lee catching 2 perfectly thrown balls two him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. Does it make sense for both sides to do that? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasker Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 The LT play comment is off the mark. No, our backup RB cannot make that play. Nor every other player in the league. LT is the best player in football, and that was a spectacular play executed perfectly. Our team did show Saturday that when the deep threats are there (maybe because Evans had burned them twice, maybe because they were in prevent) we can pass effectively to our backs, and I think that when Willis gets healthy he will be even better at this. I do think a key piece of this puzzle is that JP didn't just have three touchdowns, but he had three perfect passes all on very difficult plays. This wasn't a drop the ball into broken coverage, or just execute what is available. This was his talent making throws that a lot of QBs could not make. What I do find alarming is the lack of contribution from the tight ends and Roscoe. Roscoe can be electric when he gets the ball in his hands (and not bouncing off of them), but if that doesn't happen more, he becomes pretty useless. And without being Gates or Gonzalez, I would really like a tight end to be more involved in the passing game, otherwise they are just undersized offensive linemen.. Hopefully Price can get back into things, and he showed his upside on that play. If he can settle into a solid #2 receiver (Reggie Wayne to Lee's Harrison) and stay involved, our passing game takes a huge stride forward.

No. Does it make sense for both sides to do that? Yes. 844890[/snapback] I guess. Jamie Foxx made sense, because he played a QB in a 'Any Given Sunday'. And there was a lot of former NFL players in the movie. I don't mind if it some what related. Or maybe if the sound like they know something about football. Jay-Zee sounded kind of slow and not that interested in the game, but sure lighted up when is came time to talk about the new CD. Plus, the new crew sucks. I thought Dan Fouts and Miller had better chemistry, and that is not saying much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 I'd have to say that Frank Gore is the NFL's most improved player this year. Not JP or Alex Smith. Gore has exploded onto the scene with SF this year. I didn't think he would be anything special in the NFL, but he is definitely the horse the 49ers needed in the backfield to go along with their young QB. That's helped Smith's developement more than anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tennesseeboy Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Losman is showing some stuff. I looked again and again at the passes to Evans..beautiful...but the pass to PP (and of course the catch by PP) were something to behold. JP has had his ups and downs, but I think he improves week by week and I think he has a tremendous upside. Hang in there, and I think we will have the qb we need. The offensive line (of which I have consistently been critical and which I think is our area most in need of help) has to be mentioned for excellent play in the game against the Texans. They deserve lots of credit for playing a very good game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 It's always nice to hear something good about the Bills, but, take it for what it is worth...Salsbury's schtick seems to, week after week, to look into the camera, and make some outlandish/absurd proclamation, based on the result of one game. I swear, early in the season, after a good game by Braylon Edwards, he said that, by the end of the season, we would be mentioning the Frye to Edwards combo, the same way we talked about Peyton Manning and Marvin Harrison....Sealsbury used to be okay, until he reinvneted himself (likely to keep his job at ESPN) into a buffoon... But, nice game by JP anyways! 843914[/snapback] You hit the nail on the head....I liked Salisbury when he started at ESPN. It seemed like he just said what was on his mind and didn't give a crap about what anyone thought of it. Clearly, that was the goal and he's now conformed to drink the kool-aid.

For $9.99 you can listen to all the games on line, and pick which broadcast you want to here, the home crew or the visiting team's crew. And they are archived so you can listen to them later in the week. I wish they had the same service for the NHL, so I could hear the Saber's games. "GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL!"

This is also why the Bills red zone percentage is pathetic. Do the coaches need to trust the OL enough to put the TEs into the pattern? I think so...and it seems that someone like Royal should be an effective receiver. Maybe this is the next step of the offense's progression....
