dave mcbride Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 6. Let’s face it, the Bills are just good enough to win five games, and the longer the season goes, their lack of size will affect their ability to stay healthy. Their bad planning on their offensive line, especially at tackle, is too much to overcome. But what they’ll really need to decide is whether they can win with Trent Edwards at quarterback. http://www.nationalfootballpost.com/Diner-...was-Witten.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Only as to whether or not the team should have already decided on Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Endzone Animal Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 would anyone disagree with that assessment?... Yeah, winning 5 games is a little optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Lombardi was critical of Langston Walker in the pre-season as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillnutinHouston Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Lombardi was critical of Langston Walker in the pre-season as well. Was Lombardi critical of LW while he was playing left tackle or right tackle? He would be an upgrade at RT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got_Wood Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Yeah, I think that's an uneducated generalization about the state of the Bills. Size hasn't gotten these guys hurt. Bell, Butler, Poz, and Scott are not undersized for their position. It comes down to the head coach: the philosophy, the discipline, the clock management, the personnel decisions, the motivation... none of these areas are where they need to be for success. We're one of the most penalized teams in the league, Edwards has been sacked 2nd most of any QB in the league, we kneel before half time when there is still valuable time left to get points on the board, we can't challenge officiating calls efficiently, our offensive playbook is "vanilla" yet we can't seem to run it fluidly... the list goes on. Do I even need to back up the fact that Jauron needs to be fired this very minute. This is really pushing my ability to remain a fan of this team. I'm holding on as much as I possibly can here...

Thoner7 Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Size and and ability to stay healthy is a dubious connection. Why is Keith Ellison always playing while Poz is always hurt? Because Ellison doesnt hit hard or play in the trenches. He doesnt take on blocks. He sucks. He makes a play 1/100. Worst player on this team.

Mr. WEO Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Size and and ability to stay healthy is a dubious connection. Why is Keith Ellison always playing while Poz is always hurt? Poz is not going to be any healthier, re: his arm fracture, in the future. He is at significnat risk for reinjuring the arm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 it was obvious in the preseason that we were not going anywhere with the existing offensive line. The "poor planning" has been going on for years (Ngata, Oher come to mind.) This guy lombardi seems to know a lot about football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lombardi does know his stuff, thats why a writer, Chris Landry, was caught plagiarizing his material on the internet haha. But as far as Ellison goes, i dont know what people really expect when you have a special teamer at best starting at OLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
