QB Bills

Yup. Crappy trade. Funny how Alonso suddenly became overrated the day he got traded.

Almost all the episodes in the second half of season 5 were incredible. Just amazing how the show kept getting better and better as it went on. Not sure about best episode, but one of my favourite scenes was when Walt sees that junkie buying supplies at the hardware store and realizes the guy is a meth cook. He then goes outside and punks him and the tough guy by telling him to stay off his turf. Truly the turning point for Walt. And the accompanying music was excellent. Guessing this thread gets moved soon.

Super Bowl favourites with Rivers. Not gonna happen though.

One key guy that nobody is mentioning here is aaron kromer. From what I've read, he's a really good coach and hopefully he can undo the mess marrone made of this line.

Schwartz isn't nearly as good a defensive coach as Rex. If the defense gets worse this year, I'll be shocked. Injuries and things happen, but all things being equal, the defense might be historically good this year.

McCoy will be backing up Fred by the end of the year. And in the playoffs.

I don't like McCoy's personality either. He reminds me of a toned-down version of Floyd Mayweather. And I have my doubts about how good he'll be here. And I hated giving up Kiko for him. But I like winning more than I dislike dumb Bills players, so yap away Shady. Just bring it on Sundays.

Get on it Whaley!!

McCoy won't have the benefit of a Chip Kelly or Andy Reid offense here. He also won't have a dominant run blocking offensive line like he had for most of his career in Philly. Look at how the other RBs have done there in that time...even the past two years with Bryce Brown and Darren Sproles. McCoy is a good player, but he won't be putting up those kinds of numbers here. He's not a punishing runner. He needs to get to the second level to do most of his damage. The guy dances around in the backfield too much and he won't get away with that here. He's a better version of CJ. On the other hand, if Greg Roman really is an upgrade to Marrone's cluelessness (and how could he not be?), I think Fred Jackson will benefit most from it. Everyone is quick to say he's lost a step, but not only was he playing hurt last year, but he's never been the burner type anyway. McCoy will get more chances because of his name, his contract and who we gave up to get him, but by the end of the year, Fred will again prove to be the best RB on the team. Yes, he's getting up there in age, but take a wild guess as to who has more career carries between the two.

McCoy will flop. But fret not Bills fans. Fred will pick up the slack and lead this team to the playoffs.

Favourite Buffalo Bill ever. And I was a fan during the Super Bowl era.

Shuffling the deck chairs on the Titanic.

lol...what?!? I wonder who your top tier list includes if brady, rodgers, roethlisberger aren't on it

Good move. Anything that involves more nickell robey on the field is good with me.

19-0

Fred f'n Jackson!!

It always smells like that in Buffalo.

Absolutely. Only because I think that we finally have a team and coaching staff that can beat them at full-strength.

i'd say his status is rocky at best...he's going to need a good camp to put him over the top

Keep the bashing coming. It appears as though many of you haven't actually watched McCoy play, but are just going by the stat sheet. The guy is good, but has been very fortunate throughout his time in Philly. He's had the benefit of having one of the best o-lines as well as some of the best offensive coaching in the league throughout his career. Look at how any of the backups have done while he's been there...Brown, Sproles, etc. And not to mention, he's got quite a bit of mileage on him now. As for Fred, he's never had a good o-line despite what the genius upthread is saying. In terms of offensive acumen, Gailey is the only decent coach he's had. Compared to Andy Reid and Chip Kelly, what he's dealt with is laughable. He outplayed Lynch while he was here, who is now considered one of the best in the league. He outplayed Spiller. And he will now outplay the latest hotshot here to take his job. McCoy had the luxury of running through gaping holes and getting to the second level where he did most of his damage while in Philly. He will not have that here. I hope he does well, but I'm just warning many of you to temper your enthusiasm. You may have the same gripes with McCoy as you did with Spiller. Too much dancing behind the line and not enough powering through. Whereas someone like Fred knows when to put his head down and drive into a tackler, but is also elite at making the first guy miss. Not to mention he's a better blocker and receiver too. No, he doesn't have the top end speed as some, but he never has. That's not his game. As for him losing a step or whatever, please keep in mind that he has less career carries than McCoy. A fact easily overlooked by the resident ageists on the board. The running game will be improved with Roman and Kromer here now, and the biggest beneficiary will be Fred.

He's still the best RB on the roster. It sounds crazy to say that now, but you'll see midway through the season when he's outplaying mccoy.

Without a franchise QB, that becomes almost impossible.

FFS! Another thread about the Patriots???? Can a mod just combine all of them? Is it really necessary to have over 50% of the topics on the main page be about another football team?? This is all over the internet anyway. How about some Bills talk?

Robey should be cb3. That guy is a playmaker.
