Why would you ask a street-signed FA kicker playing his first game for your team to try a 52 yard FG when you know that you are giving the ball in good field position if the kick is missed. Instead, why not pin them deep down their side and put pressure on Romo.... :wallbash:

This guy needs to go.

Bell hasn't even played in the last five games.

I am surprised teams like Jacksonville Jaguars is not in the top.

If this team is to show progress, they need to make the playoffs. I don't need this team to win the SB this year. But they have to win games within the division and make the playoffs. Every game from here on is a playoff and that is the mentality they have to carry forward. The margin of error is too small and the bigger teams are starting to play well (a.k.a Jets). T

I still think this Defensive coaching staff is pretty suspect. They have not been able to put the best players on the field and put them at the best position to succeed on a consistent basis. Actually, that defense became super after the super bowl years because they hired Wade Phillips as the DC. Wade like LeBeau and Dom Capers knows how to run a 3-4 defense and STOP THE RUN. Once you make the other team one dimensional, then you can get your DBs to cheat and play the pass better. Sadly, Edwards cannot even hold a jock strap to those guys. Look at how Capers and Phillips have brought a huge change to the defense in Houston and Green Bay making them instant Super Bowl contenders. Look at how Houston was such a leaky defense in spite of having a load of super stars....Enter Phillips....Boom, they are one of the best defense in the NFL and they are winning ball games for their team, Again goes back to being effective against the run and creating a pass rush. Agreed, IT starts from the top. Need a good 3-4 DC to run this ship. Then need to generate pass rush. Our DBs will be fine.

Who are the most overrated (or Overhyped) players in Bills History ? In the last 10 years: Willis McGahee Marshawn Lynch Chris Kelsay Lee Evans Roscoe Parrish Josh Reed Jason Peters Drew Bledsoe Trent Edwards

Agree and the Jets have the hot hand, having won their last three, while we have been 2-3 in the last five games...We need to get our act together. It is a shame that the offense has gone into this funk when the defense has started playing so well.

I am not sure what Roosevelt did today to deserve this quote. Our 2nd WR has been non-existent. I wish Fitz would look more often to Nelson...who is at least sure handed. Spiller deserves to play more @ the #2 spot. I wish the Bills coaching staff will see that. I wish the Bills would have game planned this...Spiller is the fastest WR on this team. When the Jets were taking away the short stuff, it was time to throw to him at least a couple of times... What is the point of having players like Smith, Spiller, Nelson, if they cannot be part of your game plan.

Just another useless response...I have been on this forum for the last decade....I just made a post that the Bengals are in the drivers seat with this loss by the Steelers. :wallbash:

Vow...What a game...First Flacco chokes and fumbles the ball instead of a game-icing play. Then Ben drives them for the go ahead TD and then the vaunted Steeler Defense Chokes and Flacco redeems himself....Now there are so many teams jammed with 3 losses......The Bengals are looking GREAT at the TOP of the AFC North..... and the Bills are fading fast with 3 losses in their last 4 games...

Bill, Nothing went right today. Very inept play calling. Did not try something different when things were not working. We did not use players like Brad Smith and Spiller effectively. Fitz was definitely rattled and his throws were way off. When you know that they excel in taking away the short stuff, the coaching staff couldn't adjust. Where was the reverses, wild cat...Something different... The defense was on the field for 37 1/2 minutes...That is not going to win ball games. And the Jets scored Touchdowns when it mattered. That opened up a tight 3-0 ball game. Our offense, defense and special teams were lifeless

To beat the good/elite teams, we have to be good in all 3 phases of the game. For that we need have a good kicking game. When the weather turns cold and into snow, the Bills are not going to be consistently throwing for 250 yards/game. In those games, we need the yards from other places in the team.

We are half way into the season and our Kick and Punt returns have been pretty average. What is blocking Bruce Dehaven from putting out a good special teams. Our punt returns have pretty much been "fair catches". We really need our Special Teams to kick some butt this week.

The defining moment was when we beat the Pats...We erased 7 years of frustration and also given the team the confidence to go and beat anyone (especially on the Bills home turf).

Mid season Report • EXECUTIVE OF THE YEAR: Buddy Nix, Buffalo general manager: Nix hired Chan Gailey last year, drafted defensive tackle Marcell Dareus this year, and has built a talented offense around lightly regarded players such as quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, running back Fred Jackson, receiver Stevie Johnson, tight end Scott Chandler and receiver David Nelson. The Bills have responded with a breakthrough season so far, and are 5-2 and tied with New England for first in the AFC East. -- Kudos to Ted Thompson, Green Bay general manager.

Bill, I just don't see Spiller getting enough carries. I think it will be a big surprise if they can do a couple of reverses and putting him in space to have big gains after a quick catch. And if they have to cover Spiller, then there will be a mismatch for either Nelson or Chandler (or even for Roosvelt) that they can use to their advantage. I am hoping Spiller has a breakout game.

If we have CAP money this year, why shouldn't we spend this year and reduce the cap hit next year. It is not like SJ is going anywhere anytime soon. He is our #1 WR. The one thing hurting him may be his product the past 3-4 weeks..But then the Bills have been playing teams with a fierce pass rush and Fitz having to get rid of the ball quickly and the absence of Jones on the other side hurts too.

The simple answer is that "May be we haven't needed him so much as Freddie and Fitz have been having great success". May be he can surprise the teams that are not looking for him.

I disagree SJBF...Sanchez has taken his team to two AFC Championships and has played outstanding in the playoffs. It is not his fault that the Jets let go of Thomas Jones who had a great year running the ball. It is not his fault that the Jets have messed up the OL after building a great one. Sanchez is one of the stars in the making. All I said about McCoy is that he has done a good job of not hurting his team. Again, the Browns don't have much talent, turmoil @ the RB position and a suspect HC. In spite of that McCoy has looked like a good QB. Give him time and he will win consistently. A McCoy is doing much better than a Josh Beck (Washington), Kevin Kolb (Arizona), Name-Your-QB (Seattle), McNabb (Minnesota), Cutler(Chicago),

Agreed 100%. Coming out of that draft, Dalton was considered by most folks as the most complete, NFL Ready QB and he has done nothing to obliterate that thought. He is a very heady QB who makes good decisions. His play and the Bengals defense reminds of the rookie year for Ben Rothelisberger. Big Ben was asked to be a team manager and not make critical mistakes. He took them to the AFC Championship game that year and the Super Bowl next year. I see Andy coming up in the same mold. It is really scary that the AFC North will have four good to great QBs for years to come. Even Colt McCoy is quietly putting together a pretty strong season. There are plenty of good QBs now in the AFC AFC East: Brady, Fitz, Sanchez AFC North: Ben, Flacco, Dalton, McCoy AFC South: Manning, Schaub, Hasselbeck AFC West : Cassel, Palmer, Rivers The NFC...Not so much. The AFC is going to continue to be a slug feast for the next few years making it hard to get in through the wild card route.

I will take the 4-5 yard slants every day, if it gives us 1st downs and move the chains...Something that we were very inept with Lee Evans in the line up. Lee is a very good player, but just did not fit this offense. He will be very good in an offense where the OL gives the QB lots of time to throw or has a very mobile QB who can use his feet and make plays down field. I hope that trade works for both the parties. Also, not having such a towering figure as Lee Evans allows the QB to distribute the passes to all his WRs without worrying to find his primary target all the time. Only teams that have mobile QBs who can use their feet to make the plays are throwing the big bombs...Teams like the Eagles, the Steelers and the Falcons.

In some sense, he is correct w.r.t the Bills. We still have 5 divisional games and those are always very hard and very tough to predict. We have a 3-game road trip with two tough games against the Chargers and Jets. Then we have the stretch @ home in December, where we have played very poorly in the past so many years. The Bill are not going to have a easy schedule.

Actually, Fred Davis is their starting TE and if they ever lost him, that would be more hurtful than the past-his-prime Cooley. Tim Hightower, while called starting RB, actually shared duties with Ryan Torain/ We lost our starting LT, backup LT, starting NT, starting OLB....I think our injuries were far more serious than theirs. What happened is that on the field, the Bills played much better than the Redskins.

Eric Wood is the heart and soul of this OL.
