Wooderson Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 It could be alot worse in Febuary. & also it is 51 degrees out right now. Looking out my window at the temp clock. Stop trying to exagerrate how bad the weather is here. I wasn't exaggerating anything. At 7:45 when I left my house it said 40 degrees and rainy. I believe that is an accurate post.

Steely Dan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Guys, remember this is WGR. They have a bout a 33% chance of being right. Blown achilles. I don't think he can even work out ye Well there goes his speed. Just what the Bills need a small slow receiver. I can't think of anyone on the roster I'd cut in order to make room for him. It's February! Do you honestly believe that the players coming in today were expecting 70 and sunny? yeah...1130 am...he is on the same flight as George Seifert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mickey Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Same skill or not, defenses can't double both of them. Yes they can. Just takes extra DB's and they would only need to do that if we had a TE that they couldn't cover with a LB which we don't. We may be one of the easiest teams in the league for defenses to go double on the wideouts. Of course, if we did land him, I have to wonder if we would ever use him properly. I am not sure we need a WR with blazing speed, picturesque patterns and amazing hands to run 3 yarders in the flat on 3rd and 9. For the most part, we keep our Ferrari's in the garage under a blanket. Occasionally, we take them for a spin down to the bottom of the driveway and back but that is about it. God forbid we ever went long because, heaven fofend, something bad could happen. I don't know why a top WR in this league would ever want to play for a dink and dunk team like the Bills.

Poeticlaw Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Don't want coles. Rather have Josh as a 2. Josh has had his chances as number 2 hes better as a number 3 we need a legimate #2 and coles is an upgrade over Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would he want to play for a team that never lets their WR's get downfield? If I were Coles, Buffalo would be one of he last teams in the league I would be interested in playing for.

Having Coles and Evans, two proven threats, would relieve some of the blitzes causing Edwards to look for the short pass, thus, allowing for deeper routes (in theory). It's like a good pass rush makes your d-backs look good also, with less coverage time needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he is looking to wind up his career with a dink and dunk offense. And it is all moot now, I may have been right I guess as he went to Cincy where Carson Palmer is not reluctant to go deep. Really, other than $$ what do we have to sell this offense to top FA offensive talent??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
