The Bills will stand pat and NEXT YEAR that pass rush will be "awesome" with Stroud next to a healthy Schobel. Kelsay with another year of experience. Denney older. McCargo trying more than 10% of the time, blah, blah, blah.... How is it that the Giants lose Strahan to retirement and Umenyiora to injury in the preseason and they are still dominate(2nd in the league in sacks)? Either our DL talent is SEVERELY overrated and/or our defensive coaches are sub-par.

Unless they show the endzone replay on every run, it is difficult to see if there is a hole. Keep in mind, there isn't going to be a hole the size of the grand canyon on the majority of plays. It doesn't take much space for the good rb's in the NFL to make there way thru. Is the lack of a running game for the last year and a half with Lynch at the helm, the fault of the OL? Lynch's fault? A little of both? I'd say the latter.

I'm 49 now and this current 10 year stretch of mediocrity has taken its toll on me. I still attend a couple of home games and 1 road game every year, but I don't find myself agonizing over defeats like I used to. I taped the game as I had somewhere to be yesterday and after someone told me the score, I didn't bother watching 1 second of it when I got home. I still cling to the hope that either the Bills or Sabres will a championship in my lifetime(preferably while I can still enjoy it )

New England is 15th in the NFL in rushing defense at 105 yards per game. That is closer to best(yardage wise) than it is to worst and certainly not what I would call struggling. Note...They gave up 47 yards on 21 carries last night.

Even with them the running game has been sub-par all year.

Peters...3 more years and looking for a raise Dockery...5 more years as one of the highest(and overpaid) guards in the league Fowler...Makes me wish for Teague and Preston isn't any better Butler...just signed to a 4 or 5 year extension Walker...3 more years Not exactly what I would call spending your money wisely! I can't believe what I am seeing out there, but I am pretty sure the run blocking is worse than last year.

How long has it been since they were anything but this?

Chandler was very good, but not even close to Biletnikoff. Check the stats.

I'm a big WGR basher, but this is ridiculous. They have 8-10 hours of "local talk" daily M-F. There is plenty of time for both the Bills and Sabres to be discussed. In the future, give them a call ahead of time and let them know when you will be listening so they can cater to your schedule.

Obviously photoshopped, but funny none the less... http://ballsiest.com/sportsblog/wp-content...reast-grab1.jpg

Just another failed attempt at humor from the jerkoffs who would rather focus on anything but sports.

What should I give thanks for? Two corporate entities, one more greedy than the next, who finally decided after a month that there is enough money for both of them. I can't decide who I should thank first.

It only took a month. I suppose TW will throw this in our faces the next time they feel the need to raise the rates. Except for key sporting events, wivb is dead to me and FIOS will still be going in as soon as it is available in my area.

Why would the Bills want to move Whitner away from a position that utilizes his strength. I thought his skills were much better in run defense than pass defense?

I still hate you Ron Smith!!

Even better reason to go now!

The Bills are 23rd in rushing yards per game. Bottom line is that this number is going to have to improve a lot down the stretch run.

My name is Hines Ward. Welcome to the NFL rookie!

I know you mentioned linebacker depth further down in your post, but an injury to Poz or Mitchell would be much more devastating than any injury to the secondary position. Costanzo and Corto...that is all you've got!

Link? As far as I know Simpson was never the "SEC defensive player of the year"

Barrelhead :wallbash: Poor House College Beer Blasts If you ever want a feel for a true gin mill, stop in Ulrichs sometime. If you ever find yourself downtown during the day, stop in for lunch or a late afternoon cocktail. Great pictures & atmosphere. Just don't expect much in terms of recent renovations!
