I don’t see one win to pen..or pencil...in for the rest of the season. The Bills could finish 11-5 or 8-8. It’s a grind from here on out.

Apologies. I misunderstood that part. I took it as who was going to replace Nsekhe’s active roster spot. Bates being most-often inactive this season but on the roster made him the logical choice from that perspective.

I guess it’s a matter of perception? Bates IS on the team and Henderson visited. I was responding to a To a question that asked who would be the better alternative. The alternative is already on the team and that is Ryan Bates. Not really sure why you decided that you needed to respond the way you did, but I’ll just let it go and carry-on.

Who said Bates was getting cut? I was continuing a on-going pattern of responses indicating Bates as the alternative to Seantrel.

I am going to preempt the response with the response of ....Ryan Bates.

I think the Cowboys beat the patriots and then suffer a let down game against the Bills. That’s how the two and two record happens.

Mathematically it makes perfect sense. As for voting us #1...I have questions...

He has been Widely Receiving poor reviews for his on-field performance the last 5 games. Perhaps that's the explanation?

Bates and Boettger are known commodities, but Seantrel has actually been a starter in the league. Worth a look.

When the announcers were talking about how they didn’t feel that they should be playing the hurry up offense in the fourth quarter when they were up by 10 points, all I was thinking was “If they want to go down there and score and finally go ahead and step on a teams throat when they have them down then why the hell wouldn’t they be doing the hurry up offense?”. I wasn’t on the game thread, but assume that was talked about. It was good to see and a pure show of aggression.

Maybe we should start predicting board stats?

Agreed. I think a lot of people forget that there are three aspects to a football team and that special teams is actually pretty darn key. I wish that Duke and/or TJ were more effective on special teams in order to get them on to the game day roster, but they aren’t and you need to have players to play special teams and do it effectively.

I wonder if Method Man O’Reilly or GZA mcMullen will play? #peoplenamedafterwutangmembers

Poor helmet.

What the heck is under that shirt? His gut looks like a lopsided fanny pack

Five safeties to three safeties and a field goal

I’m thinking we should load up on carries for Gore. Singletary has shown to be very effective so work away from that strength.

Yeah. My account went into the ether. I can see that it exists, but couldn't get my e-mails to change my password which decided not to work any more. i like this screen name better anyway.I haven't lived in Vancouver for over 12 years.

I’ve been on here daily for 14 years. ( My screen name was VanCity previously.) Many people spout “analysis “ but it’s the “eyeball test” they are speaking of. The negativity can be creative and conducive to discussion, but so little of it is.

I may be in a different position than some, having played football growing up. When people are spouting off about “ he isn’t good enough “ or “he’s a bust”, give us specific analysis of why that opinion was formed. Many people on the board use an “eyeball analysis “ and don’t spend any time actually re-watching plays to determine what actually happened. I respect an opinion formed through knowledge and research, but constant team and player bashing just becomes a biased opinion unless backed by real analysis. We all see the posters who just opine without back-up and it gets a bit more than ridiculous.

I don’t think that your opinion on winning or losing is what defines you as a fan. That being said, your opinion has been, as long as I can remember, negative about this team. I understand the frustration of being a Bills fan. We all understand that frustration. The issue I think most of us take with your opinion, and those of the vast majority of the negative Nancies around here, Is that you offer no real viable alternatives, just dwell upon the negatives. I cannot speak to your knowledge of the game, but I can definitely speak to your opinion. And your opinion doesn’t really have any backing, it’s just negative.

Hargreaves would be a worthy addition to the team, But what about Kevin Johnson sitting behind Wallace? Should we not give him the opportunity to show that he can succeed in a role he succeeded in 2 seasons ago?

Arguing this point would be ridiculous. But, I think we have to have some faith in our second year quarterback, who was always a project, to improve and to learn from these mistakes. A lot of us have been surprised by elements of Josh’s game that have improved this year and elements that have regressed, such as the long ball. An area where we haven’t seen enough improvement is the quick reads that you see the truly elite quarterbacks get and succeed at. It’s tough to preach patience when you have a team at six and three, but not having patience with a talent as tantalizing as Josh is going to cost us too much. I want him to be great as much as the next guy, and he still may be, but dwelling on the negative’s isn’t helping.

I couldn’t even get past page 1 of this thread. Scott, you are the biggest turd on this board.

His fumble today had reckless written all over it. The first big run he had, he covered up beautifully. That run was him putting blinders on and thinking he’s a bowling ball RB. I would love to sit in on meetings and practices this season as I am unsure of what Dorsey and Daboll are doing to improve him. He’s improved on short throws and that’s it really.
