Sisyphean Bills

The Saints offense had no answer to the Giants pass rush.

Actually, it would make perfect sense to switch to a vertical offense next year for the Bills.

With the adroitness demonstrated in playing Spiller to his natural strengths, I'm not sure it makes an iota difference.

No worries. Busts can be found anywhere in the draft.

I wouldn't touch Norv with a 39 and a half foot pole.

You've got it about Fitz and Fred. It isn't really Fitz' release so much as that his pre-snap reads are excellent and he has great trust in them. He knows where he is going with the ball before it is snapped and is unafraid to sling it in there. He is what he is: a very cerebral QB with less than elite physical tools. Sacks, while often brought up on the board, are a meaningless statistic. Ben Roethlisberger takes a ton of hits and sacks but he's led his team to championships and extending the play is just part of his game. Aaron Rodgers has taken lots of sacks in prior years and is in the top 5 this year. Trent Edwards didn't get sacked much. Curtis Painter hasn't been sacked much this year, yet that hasn't helped the Colts to a single win.

You're being greedy asking for sacks. Heck, generating enough pressure to cause the QB to have to move one of his feet an inch or two would be worthy of a note home.

Maybe other teams don't ask their players to do things that they are physically incapable of doing?

Are you saying they drafted a "waterbug" to try to convert him into a battering ram? I guess that makes about as much sense as playing Spencer Johnson with his 5.2 40 speed at OLB.

Edwards makes Corey look like Albert Einstein by comparison.

Just got pwned by Bob Costas.

It's actually kind of sad to compare the Bills line performance to other NFL lines. A Bills running play featured guys trying to zone up and double team a defender and both being blown backwards. The Broncos, for example, could run the same play and lineman where getting to the second level and McGahee was 10 yards down the field before a defender could wave bye-bye at him. PS: I know it's a banged up OL, but they were getting their ***es handed to them.

The hole? I didn't see very many holes. The Bills line got pwned most of the game.

Nominating: Stevie Johnson George Edwards

No.

Chan pretty much said he doesn't trust the guy. Not a good message if someone is looking for a huge deal.

Still liking it?

Chan said that he makes some really bad decisions in the press conference. Not good news for Stevie.

Right. To say George Edwards is incompetent is redundant.

To be fair to Spencer, he looks to be giving it everything he has; but, who is the unmitigated moron that has him playing OLB? It makes as much sense as, say, starting Wes Welker at NT so Vince Wilfork can cover Lee Evans running fly patterns.

Key to the game: Score more points than you give up.

As I pointed out in a different thread, Nix has "completely gutted" (quoting Why So Serious?) the Bills by elevating the depth of the Jauron years into starting positions and back filling the roster with his guys. In other words, even the Bills traditional Just Replace The Batteries approach to franchise rebuilding could be argued to be slipping, if one truly believes that the depth on the roster cannot step up and is highly suspect as Buddy Nix himself suggested.

Well, George Edwards did call Wade Phillips last year for a few tips. Then they added Dave "The Solution" Wannstedt.

Maybe he just feels that his offensive line cannot control the line of scrimmage and running slow developing plays is a recipe for disaster.
