Green Lightning

Is the OP pondering nuances or is there a point to this thread?

Okay. I have stood by the FO and still do...but I got nothin' on this. The guy has to go, not be extended. Maybe there are incentives, like if you come within 10 yards of a tight end as he's catching the ball you get a bonus.....and if you push him out of bounds with less than a 40 yard gain you get more.....

Have you watched any of the games with Trent at QB? Really or are you just stirring things up? It's hard to toss an INT when your repertoire consists of five yard dump offs...maybe a ten yarder underneeath when it's 4th and 20...oh and when it's time for a Hail Mary, you run out of bounds. I could give a rats *ss what the media says (DiCeasare has it right though - love to see Sully use reason and thought like Bob) I don't care how it was reported, or what they say about Chan...I only care that Trent is gone and we don't have to suffer one more effing game of him spitting up his Maypo instead of leading this team. I'll suffer the occasional INT. At least we were in the damnn game thanks to Fitz.

We couldn't blitz the Pats as they have killer tight ends and a HOF QB that ate up our slew footed DE's ...umm OLB's I mean. We spent most of the game in the nickel and got b'slapped with the run. Short story is we need more talent.

Play the kid. He's got the tools and the tude and needs the reps. How can he do worse than what we saw Sunday?

Just how is the new FO dysfunctional? For trying to make the best of crap talent they inherited? Get real.

I've heard Jerry equate Buffalo and Buffalonians with the team often and not in a flattering way. I agree with your last paragraph 100%. Actually Jerry scoffs at the notion. Sully spends his time looking backwards - I prefer to look forwards.

Great, now maybe we can really lose those guys and play the kids! Trent had to go. It was handled just fine.

Good post. We don't agree on Jerry. I truly beleive he hates being here and hates the team and hates what he does for a living anymore and this is how it acts out - he thinks it's his ticket to what is next and he's likely correct. I'm just sick of volume, fake histrionics and hate for hate's sake. If he had one cogent thing to say that wasn't "Chan sucks, Nix sucks, blah blah, maybe he'd have some cred. He never talks the game, he attacks individuals...a Glen Beck wannabe. That said, you and I agree on the end game. He's marketing a persona and if people don't like it, like myself, don't listen. I don't. You do and that's fine. Unlike Jerry, I won't call you names and beat on you because we don't agree.

This is either Jerry, Mike Dope or the Lapdog's TSW name. Jerry is just a media buffoon who's job it is to p*ss people off or to fuel discontent so his boss can sell ad-space in the paper and his radio bl*w buddies can get ratings. He's long ago left sports journalism behind and is marketing himself as a commodity. More power to him. It's a free market country. If you can't stand him, do as I do, fon't listen to him or read him. I don't as he is no longer relevant and no longer truly writing about football. He's out to sink Chan and Buddy and get some notoriety doing it. I, for one, won't help his self aggrandizing cause.

We need to rush the QB dammit! Our rush is pathetic!

Play Troup. Play Carrington. Put KW to DE and bench Stroud. Play the young guys! We're not going anywhere!

I'll repeat my last 10 posts..... Bench Green and play Meredith or Wang. Bench Kelsay and play Maybin and Coleman....guys with upside. Lets' start seeing less of Stroud and more of Carrington. I want to see more of Troup. Brace is coming along for the Pats...play the kids wiht upside and not those on the way out. Just do it and let's take our lumps now and build for next year.

How is running into the LT and getting wrapped up and put down on every pass rush attempt value to this team. I had high hopes this kid would develop and would be a danger if moved around a bit. I still say play him and let's see if there is any development. If not, I'm with you, it would be addition by subtraction.

Bell should be benched tomorrow. Hang is not the problem and until there is a stud to replace him I wish people would lay off him.

Can't see anyone giving up much if anything at this point. I'd cut him and move on if no team bites. Agree on bringing back Levi.

Kelsay has no business playing OLB. Bench him and play Coleman or Maybin and lets take our lumps now. Why play someone who doesn't fit the long range plan? There's no way a DC can stop every potential mismatch. If we are going to suck let's at least suck while giving our future players some precious playing time. We'll much the better for it next year.

Amen

I see your point but Kelsay will never cover a tight end and Green is 33 and awful. Let's move on these guys sooner than later .

You're right, but I think those foundational pieces could well be here - but not yet playing. 14 games is a great learning ground for these young guys and we should suck it up and play them.

It doesn't matter a rat's ass how you feel about it - it just is. And for the record I prefer if they build this team and win on the merits and not cheat like your hero.

The didn't take short cuts to get this bad and there are no shortcuts to getting better. Draft well, build with a plan and turn this around. They have ten years of horrible drafting and management. They are starting from ground zero and brother, it's not going to be a quick turnaround. At least they are moving in the right direction.

I don't need to watch Kelsay lug ten yards behind a tight end running after the catch anymore to evaluate him. Play Anotonio Coleman and Maybin and let's live with the growing pains. Bench Green and play Wang or Meredith - guys with upside. Kyle and Stroud should sit more as the year goes on and Carrington and Troup should take over. We're going to suck this year. Let's use the time to give precious playing time to the kids. We'll be much better for it next year.

That's how we got Hangartner.

Good way to end this Jim, go follow the freaking Patriots and revel in their cleverness and questionable morality. You'll be happier and we won't suffer dumb ass threads like this. What don't you get? They broke the rules, knowingly. Just becuase you think the rule is stupid is moot. They cheated. Deal with it. Now go ahead and enjoy your new team.
