It's the NFL, someone will take the risk of over-paying for him

Tom, 42,000+ posts . . . I have post envy

Good analysis and thoughts. But you raise one issue that has caught my attention (maybe others have said it), why would the team that was known as one of the best in the league last year at it, not run any screen plays? I may be wrong, but I cannot recall the BIlls running one yet this season. It seems to me, with Spiller being most effective when given open space, and Fred Jackson's uncanny ability to make much more out of little, we have the idea backs for a barrage of screens--which the last few seasons can testify too. Why has it completely disappeared?

Hahaha , I laughed when I saw the title to this thread. Remember the days when the Cover 2 was despised by this board. Now, it seems to be our best friend. Proving once again, it's all relative to the circumstances, and probably further cementing Pettine early enshrinement into the TBD Coaches Hall of Fame. Or at least, our CROY award = Coaches Rookie of the Year and a lot of "cover no one" versus the Jets.

yes, that was a bit curious considering that both Spiller and Jackson were banged up.

Thursday night games are usually not good football (shorten week reduces it to the basics). It will come down to line play, which team can run? and which team can stop the run? . . . and for that reason, I like our chances in a low scoring, not too pretty, slugfest.

He He's done as a Patriot . . . might make a nice rotational player for the Bills next year?

yes, that was a terrible call, should have blown the whistle .... JH, what goes around comes around

yes, after being roasted here last week, he deserves the accolades for adjusting and designing a game plan that gave his team a chance to win.

Good advise Barbarian, thanks for your contribution to the team and Bills Nation. What will you tell him about Thursday's game?

as much as I didn't like them, yes they were all correct

yes, he deserves considerations

I hope he does well, really well. Said it before, I'll say it again, he was not this team's problem last year . . . exhibit A = today's game won by a real Defense I do like EJ and glad we have him, but Fitz was not the problem

YUUUP ~ heart and soul of the team ~

I just want to say, can we all just get along? For the kids & the old people . . .

Yeah, I have to go with Searcy for "unsung" hero of the day

ah, what are you smoking dude?

this

No doubt, he is the MVP of the coaching staff after four games. Hackett's play calling was smart today, at least for 3 1/2 quarters--and that is improvement.

indede , the D Fence has been stellar

oh no, not this again! a win is a win, and as one of our many former Head Coaches use to say, "It's hard to win in the NFL." So let's be happy for a win, at least today.

Why would anyone in their right mind leave the Bahamas to go watch a football game???? Oh right, "A Bills Fan" and "in their right mind" don't go together. I hope you have a great day and game at the Ralph today.

this You win, "post of the day!"

Great post FearTheLosing, I love the breakdown of the PFF stuff My two cents . . . I think just about every team in the league would like to improve some aspect of their o-line, it seems to be a constant theme. And, (this is anecdotal evidence, no real facts here--but why start doing that here on TBD ) it seems there are chronic o-ilneman injuries throughout the league. That being said, there has to be someone out there on a practice squad, or an unsigned free agent, that could improve the LG spot. I guess Legurski is not the answer, or is still not physically ready to play. But, Marrone did say Brown earned the spot over him in training camp. It's time to try something different, anything at this point.
