Why would you leave your best player on the field for 3rd downs ? You can't fool anyone that way.

If you had some d-ends that could get to the qb once in a while they wouldn't have to blitz every down. I forgot thats why they paid Schobel. Another overpaid waste of cap space.

Fletcher is getting his ass kicked. So is Anderson and as usual Schobel can't get to the qb.

They are only down one score, one good drive, there is no need to panic. But we can only imagine the panic amongest those coaches in that locker room. They could come out and throw it 30 times this half.

I like the going for it also, and I agree WTF is Shelton doing with the ball ?

Here we go. The stupidity is starting. Run the f-ing ball.

Good guess DD. I was also thinking in the 8, 8.5 range. It is actually 7 right now. I think it goes up though.

anyone want to guess what the Buff/New Eng. early line is ??????

Hit South Beach and you will have all kinds of hunting opps.

If we lose Clements I wouldn't say we are in great shape. McGee, King, Greer are all small corners. Thomas I'm not even counting as I think he won't even be here next year. He was a step slow before his injury. Vincent could play some corner if need but is getting old. If they go into fa to get a corner that will cost some good $$$. Not Clements $$$ but I'd rather pay the difference and keep NC.

No no, don't say that. He' a better corner than Nate now. You didn't get the message? They have stopped going after McGee and they now pick on Nate. Nate is the #1 for a reason. He takes the #1 receiver the majority of the game., and usually does a very good job on him. He's a big corner and a good tackler. You guys that don't want to pay Nate are gonna be bitching next year when teams are throwing all over this team. Remember their pass rush isn't the greatest on 3rd downs so that makes it even more difficult on the corners. McGee will move to the #1 if Clements leaves, and it's a whole new ballgame for him then. He is not very big and #1 receivers will give him problems. I don't even want to think about the #'s 2,3,@4 behind him. Let's sign both of them.

The point is if your game plan is to run the ball then don't panic and stick to it. Since Willis is their best player and not either of the qb's, and the o-line is built for and better at run blocking, you need to run the ball and control the clock. Sometimes these coaches try to get to cute and overcoach. I also would like to see more screens w/ Willis. 30 touches and I'll take my chances.

The Bills record when Willis gets 20 carries or more a game the last two seasons. 10 wins, 1 loss. 2 wins, 5 losses when he is under 20 carries. I threw out the first four weeks of 2004 since he hardly played, and the Bills lost them all anyway. Coincidence ?

The o-line and Rian Lindell. I've been given both all hell but today they deserve the props. Running game was excellent and Lindell makes big kick before half. It's amazing what can happen when you give your best player the ball 30 touches.

I was listening to Mike Franseca on the fan yesterday and he was saying that Martin is obviously banged up and hobbling, to what exent I guess we won't know to Sunday, but he isn't 100%. He was also talking about a lack of a suitable backup with Blaylock out for the year now. Thus Vinny is supposedly gonna shoulder the load. Well damn. If the Bills can't shut down a 41 yr. old qb who was out of the league untill two weeks ago than they have some problems. Vinny will be sitting right there for them in the pocket. It's time for Schobel and Kelsay to bring some comsistent heat w/o blitzing every down. The Bills defense should come up with at least 2-3 turnovers.

You nailed it. Excellent post.

Teague Vill,Gandy,Anderson one or two of these three Campbell,Neufeld Burns Aiken, Reed Bannen,Sape,Edwards Posey Wire

There are alot of good o-linemen in next years draft, especially tackles. I have to believe they will be using their 1st or 2nd rounder on one of them.

I can't think of many other adjectives besides " terrible" to describe the o-line play to this point. Well I can but "not bad" isn't one of them.

There not that bad Simon ? They are terrible. And out of those eleven players TD brought in, 2 maybe 3 can actually play worth a lick to this point.

Maybe he did try. We'll probably never know. But he is defintely worth an extra #1.

You don't think Peppers is worth an extra #1 ?

It' not that Drew is an all-time great but he is a competent qb in this league if you put a decent line in front of him and play to his strengths as Parcells does.

SSSSHHHHH ! Don't tell anyone. It's Bledsoes and Losmans fault. One can't move and the other is too young. What are Teague and Bennie Anderson smoking ? They believe they have been doing good things out there and this is the best the line has played in four year according to the article in Rochester this morning.

Actually he was in the tunnel chatting up some Jills.
