  1. Who is better than Duke Williams. And Jonathan Meeks. And Robert Blanton.

     

    We have a dire need at the safety position. Should not have let him go in the first place. But even then, we should have brought him back ages ago.

    This!! Rambo hits WAY harder than Meeks and Blanton combined. Duke hits hard, I'll give him that, but he's so lost in coverage it's not even funny! Get me Rambo!!

  2. I don't care if people think the Patriots are a "better" team. We have to believe we are and forget all this BS about the past. Get pressure on Brady (LORAX/SHAQ/HUGHES) and make him feel like a 39 year old quarterback should. TT needs to open his freaking eyes. Maybe take that damn visor off his helmet. That play where Clay was WIDE OPEN and he ran out of bounds will not get it done against the Cheats. Hell, call me crazy, but I'd almost be happier if EJ started. He can throw it downfield and WILL. Maybe even dress Cardale and let them figure that out!

     

    The point is, this game is winnable. The Cheats are not invincible. We beat them in their home stadium. They didn't stop us. And that excuse of poor, injured rookie QB doesn't fly when they blanked the Texans the week before.

     

    As for the Seahawks, yes, I see that as a win, too. They are not the same team. No Lynch is a big deal.

  3.  

    Preston Brown is a nice player - but he's kind of a JAG. Ragland has a higher ceiling.

     

    Zach Brown, on the other hand, has grown into a true playmaker. He's setting the tone for the entire defense right now and he's worth $5-$7M per year if he continues playing at this level for the rest of the season. I'd hate to see him go.

    Totally agree! Pay the man! And the LORAX, too!

  4. They for sure are the favourites. The only team(s) that i think can challenge them are pittsburgh or Denver, but I think pitts and the broncos will need home field advantage. If it goes throguh Foxboro, i can't see anyone beating them

    Exactly. It's hard to take as Bills fans, but they are definitely the favourties

    Let them be the favorites. I'd prefer to surprise people instead of these BS bandwagon fans and "sports analysts" picking the Bills. I've been a Bills fan my whole life - win or lose. I've enjoyed the OJ years (although a bit TOO young), the Chuck Knox years beating the Dolphins finally and winning the AFC East, through the Superbowl years, to the Flutie curse and beyond. The point is, I've paid my dues and I'm a TRUE fan.

    I think you and mike are right and ypp.com needs to look a little deeper.

     

    * I do not know the play call *

     

    I played CB/SS (through 1AA under a great secondary coach) and have coached the secondary before (at the high school level), this is primarily Darby's fault all day IMO. He's not in zone (it doesnt make sense), there is no way watching the other players, AW is the SHS, Z. Brown Band is either a spy or a zone defender(possible robber concept), everyone else is manning up, head up on their coverage responsibility (Graham on the TE, P. Brown on the RB, R-C on the slot/Kerley and so on) and covers that guy post snap. I'd bet AW was peaking in the backfield or at something he shouldnt be, his single responsibility looking at it presnap and what happened post snap was to not let anyone get over the top of him (should be), and especially T. Smith... Which makes me believe secondarily he is culpable as well. Even if Darby was playing some sort of zone from that far off, it should still be his primary responsibility to cover the deep field.

     

    p.s. I dont know the defensive play call, but roughly 20 years of secondary related experience tells me #28 and #23 were the responsible parties on this play not #24. Seconds 11-18 of the youtube video link sums all of this up, the all 22 should confirm it. Thats my .02...

    OK, great breakdown, but you fail to mention who Gilmore was covering if Darby f'd up? Because Gilmore had nothing but space around him on that play.

  6. Just by the way Darby and Gilmore reacted I would say that Gilmore was confused. Darby didnt hesitate and went right for the receiver in the flat(darby could have been wrong and just reacted faster)

     

    There were a few times during the game where Gilmore was looking around before the snap like he didn't know the coverage.

    Exactly! Re-watch the play and notice how Gilmore gave an "OH SHIIT" head movement the moment he moved forward and the receiver blew by him.

     

    Also, Aaron Williams should have had him tackled in the flat. That's what a SAFETY is for!!!

     

    Lastly, for those saying this touchdown didn't matter, the 49ers took the lead with that play and the game was still an unknown outcome. I was furious with that play and it "could" have been a turning point. I'm glad it wasn't, but playing like that against the Patriots, Steelers, or Seahawks will not get it done!

  7. OK, here's another game where this so-called "elite" cornerback got burned BADLY and the result was a touchdown this time. I mean, this is supposed to be one of the best corners in the league and the play was amatuer and rookie-like. Tell me again why he's worth $100MM?

  8.  

    he did have 12 men on the field yesterday, which is ridiculous, but I agree the guy is good at what he does.

     

    Also, as we have seen this year, the Saints do not have anyone on that team who can play defense. Including Jarius Byrd, who embarrassed himself mulitple times on their monday night game.

    It wasn't all Rob's fault like they made it seem. That's mostly on the GM

    As George Bush would say: Strategery.....

     

    It's only a penalty if they actually count the number of players!

  9. I will also agree that I've been on the "let's dump McCoy" bandwagon previously. I thought he was washed up and could see the field. That Ravens game really had me thinking bad thoughts. All is redeemed now. He is playing awesomely! And that was not an easy team to run on. McCoy is running good.

     

    One thing, though: When victory was sure (less than 2:00 on the clock), Rex still had him out there running. Maybe a little preservation would be wise.

     

    BTW - Where has Jonathan Williams been? Still hurt or just not getting snaps?

  10. I think we are SO conditioned to seeing victory ripped out of our hands so many times over the past several years. I believe it started in the '99 playoff game against the Titans and has been repeated so many times. Examples: Stevie Johnson dropping a touchdown in the endzone against the Steelers because God didn't want him to catch it; Leodis giving the Patriots the ball and the victory; Ravens ripping the ball out when forward progress was stopped; that Dallas home game in Prime Time; etc. I'm sure there are more, but that's all I can think of at the moment.

     

    I HOPE that our penchant for coming up short is finally turning around. Then, we as fans, can start to feel comfortable and expect to win games!! That's how it was in the early 90's. Every game was an expected win. Not one team scared us. Let's get back to that!!

     

    The big test will be the Patriots re-match. I'm actually coming up to Buffalo for that game!!! First game I've seen since the Bronco's home game in 2008. Long time coming and will be my son's first Bills game!!!

  11. Gilmore has had a disappointing season thus far. Maybe he will step up a little. He has been 1 step short on most plays. Even on the opportunity to recover gurley's fumble. Missed tackles. Bad coverages. Definitely a down year

    I totally agree, however, people tend to forget that he's been doing this since he's been a Bill. He's like a higher caliber Leodis: Can play lights out at times, but then has really, really terrible games. The Jets game was atrocious; this one wasn't a whole lot better. Gave up a big first down play early in the game and then the ridiculous effort on not tackling Gurley, which allowed him to get the first down. He is NOT an elite DB and not worth the asking price. IMO - Keep Darby and Seymour and keep drafting good players. Save some green!

     

    Oh and one more thing: THE LORAX IS AWESOME!!!!!!
