Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Good point, NE was missing Brady, Playing a practice squad RB that had a career game against Buffalo, and had jason Webster, whom they just signed this week, and they still won. Buffalo was hurting missing a few players, but thats not an excuse. Not only that, they made Sam Aiken an effective receiving threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWings Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Good point, NE was missing Brady, Playing a practice squad RB that had a career game against Buffalo, and had jason Webster, whom they just signed this week, and they still won. Buffalo was hurting missing a few players, but thats not an excuse. Injuries should never be an excuse, but the injuries we have are to our best pass rusher, the team's emotional leader, and a WR that's more important to the offense than we'd believe. The players will never use that as an excuse, but it really has a lot to do with the losing streak. Considering the drop-off in talent after these guys, it's no wonder we've lost 3 in a row. The difference yesterday was that the Patriots* had better coaching, period. As much as I hate Belichick, he's still a far better coach than Jauron right now.

mchammer Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Please. And it's not anywhere near half. Good god - did you see the Pats whining about missing their MVP QB or resorting to their 4th string running back or DB's? Give me a friggin' break. Who was so damn valuable for us that was out today? Schobel? Whitner? Butler? Reed? Again, please. Reed not being able to play has hurt our offense a lot. He is our Wes Welker, he runs good routes and has sure hands. plus picks up yards after catch.

KOKBILLS Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 I was pissed after the Arizona game, and after the Miami game, but then I reflected and looked at who we beat and now I realize this team is no better than a 4 - 12 (just lucky to get that 5th) Look who we beat Seattle - They suck Jacksonville - Jeckle and Hyde Oakland - They suck St. Louis - They Suck San Diego - Jeckle and Hyde (not to mention they were looking ahead to London) So after drinking the kool aid and now coming off that buzz...I realize that this is probably one of the worst Bills teams in years. Both sides of the O-Line are pathetic. The Line backers and DB's get no help from the lack of pressure or being put on an island when forced to blitz. The running game and passing game struggle because we are forced to become predictable, not to mention always playing from behind. Edwards, has never impressed me, say what you will, he is not a starting NFL QB (a decent backup or filler). The coaching staff (except for Bobby April) is a waste. In Turk we trust...Yeah BS. If the biggest change we see from last year is running that G-Damn WILDCAT, then please go somewhere. Someone said it on here..time to dismantle this thing from top down. Well...Considering the fact that The Bills completely gave away the Miami and Jets Games I'm not sure this analysis is totally accurate...Yes they beat up on a bunch of poor Teams, but if they had played smarter, and just not made the stupid mistakes they made vs. Miami and NY they would likely be 7-2 right now...That sounds rediculous to say at this point...But it's true... I don't think it's a matter of The Bills not being good enough, or picking on the weaker NFL Teams...They are good enough...Well...I should say they have enough talent to be good enough...Give this Team and it's talent to a HC who knows what the heck He's doing...To a HC that can instill toughness both mental and physical...They would be just fine...But they are SO poorly prepared and SO incredibly soft in SO many areas they simply look worse than they should...They have VERY little pulse when things are not going their way...They have zero intestinal fortitude... What Defenses are able to do to this Team is a complete and utter joke...Give ANY DC the knowledge that they can put constant pressure on a QB only Rushing 3 or 4 and watch what they can do...Add that to the fact that Our QB is still learning on the Job and it's like a DC's wet dream now...I'm of the belief that Trent is regressing because He knows now when He gets the time He HAS to be perfect because He gets so few opportunities to actually throw without pressure to an open receiver...that is making him press a bit and now He's less than accurate when that was his strength a few weeks ago...Most Teams who can Run the Ball would salivate at the Defensive Game Plans The Bills see every Game...Somehow, someway though...They can't Run The Ball...90 Rushing yards in 2 Games combined from a Team that is supposed to be Run 1st??? What in Gods Name is up with that??? They are soft because their HC is soft...He's an Ivy League edjucated zombie without a pulse...IE...He's smart, but dead so what does it matter?...I'm not saying this bunch needs a Parcells type to whip them into shape...But any HC with a pulse would do now...And the fact that The Bills have gone 3 consecutive weeks without being able to figure out how to Score consistantly vs. these Defenses proves these idiots can't Game Plan worth a darn... Lastly...We cannot discount the dumb mistakes...The turnovers that never should have happened...The challenge Flags that were thrown too late, or never thrown at all...The challenge Flags that were thrown and should not have been...The bumbling idiot crap...This Team has a conservative HC who supposedly preaches playing smart and properly executing on every Play, and this Team does neither... The Bills are in HUGE trouble because the doubt has set in with these Players, and they just gave a dead man a Contract extention...So now...When it's crystal clear to Ralph that Jauron cant get any more out of this Team, what will He do??? UGH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBaumer Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 Hey, has anyone noticed that half our team is injured? You cannot be serious? Have you looked at who is injured on the Patriots? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UGH!!! And thus we are a fraud. Poor Coaching Players who need someone to inspire them We are lucky to be 5-4...and any thoughts of playoffs should be for 2010 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
