Bob in STL

I have news for you, Wilson is already is better than Fitz. Today proved that. Need we remind you of Drew Brees? Wilson would have been a better pick than Graham. Look at who we have after Fitz. It is possible Graham would have been there at 4 for us anyway.

Lambs duck owner? I thought Wilson was an insurance guy?

That is the problem .. Wayne does not deserve to be in Canton. He would have been an above average WR in other eras, not a great one. Reed will get in. Stallworth and Swan were stars in the era when 40 catches was a big number in the NFL. Both made th HoF way after their careers ended. Reed's time will come.

I would have went for it but I really did not mind the punt, especially with the lead and the rain coming down. I think the timeout was the true sign of a poorly coached and poorly prepared team. Football 101- take the penalty, give the punter more room.

Bradford was very comfortable on that last drive. He converted a fouth down and two third downs. No DL pressure when we needed it most. Lets not forget George Wilson dropped two ints. He makes a play and we win and Wanny's defense gets bigs props. Would wilson start on any other team in this league? Where are all the Whitner haters now?

I agree that we are better on paper. Still, we cannot go any further in wins with the curerent coaching staff and the QB that we have. Fitz has not had a 4th quarter win in how long? Chan's tactical errors are getting comical to the rest of the league. How about calling time out so that you can take your FG team off the field and then punt from the other teams 35? Seems like a 5 yard penalty would be ok at that point and not worth losing a time out over? How about that critical 3rd and 9 and we throw deep into double coverage to an unreliable rookie (with Spiller sitting on the bench)? I am sure Chan will say "we say something that we wanted to take advantage of". Sure Chan. Or you can put your best player on the field and make the Rams account for him. Jeff Fisher must be laughing his arse off right now. He comes to Buffalo worried about CJ Spiller and Spiller touches the ball 8 times and no touches in the last 9 minutes.

Jackson is offically old for a RB. He is over 30 and hitting the wall. He should be second team and owuld make a decnet role player. Time to make Spiller #1 and stop the nonsense.

Because we are losing on purpose to get a better draft choice. Then we can draft the best RB in the draft to replace the departing Spiller.

I don't think he is afraid to gamble, you should not gamble in the red zone and he should not have too. I think the problem is he does not use his best players. Was Spiller even in on any red zone plays today? Was that Tashard Choice with the ball on the second last drive, the one were we needed a drive with two or three first downs to ice the game? Chan coaches like a guy who has never seen his team play before.

Right on. I sure hope Wood does not have yet another serious injury. Too bad ... he has a promising career otherwise. Very solid player and potential as a team leader.

Really? You feel sorry for Fitz? Do you watch him play? Explain the passes tot long, too short, too high, too wide, and in the dirt? Explain the interception against the Titans at home while supposedly protecting a lead? Fitz has a good line and the best RB combo in the league. There are some playmakers around him but he cannot deliever the ball with accuracy and he cannot get the ball downfield. Good QBs make their teams better. Fitz's play is making our offense worse than it is. Fitz is making a ton of money and he barely has the talent of a back up QB. He has the arm of a third stringer. Feel sorry for the fans. Fitz is doing quite well especially given his limited skills.

After Stevie, Donald Jones is the best we have. Talk to Buddy about that. Maybe if David Nelson was healthy it would be different? Ask Chan what happened to the TE.

It was the correct call unfortunately.

Whats wrong with the offense is easy ... Not enough Spiller and way too much Fitz. Defensive Coordinators that face us are catching a huge break. If I am the coach I ride my best player. Chan, what is your story?

Even with his two big plays he was horrible most of the day and missed a lot of open receivers. Hard to beleive that we have no other option at QB for two years in a row. The worst part of the Fitz mess is that there is no prospect to play. Buddy Nix should be fired. That will take care of Chan, Wanny and Fitz.

He is learning fast and right now he is the CB on the team.

What BS. The ref made the right call. Gimore had his left arm draped around the receiver. If Stevie were held like that you would want a call. Look at the stats - - The defense did not make the stops on third down. The coaching sucks on this team. The refs did not cost us the game. We did not make the big plays. ---------------- To the original topic: Punting was a stupid call indeed. We already got the big break on the Colts interception-turned-fumble. How about some low percetage passes and then a punt? Never even try to stretch the filed. That is what the offensive genious Chan came up with. In that last series how about two carries for Spiller, knowing you have 4 downs to work with, that might have kept the chains moving for us? I am just betting that Defensive Coordinators around the league are relieved that Chan refuses to ride the best player on the team. Defenses dictate to Chan what he will call. What kind of coach consistently sits out or decoys his best player when he gets to the red zone? Punting was a Jauron-like decision. A loser decision. Take a shot Chan, grow a pair please.

Are you kidding us? Williams was fine today. The entire DL was very good today. We have minor league LBs and it showed today. Even with that our dfefense help them to 13 points. Kyle is the last person I would call out on this defense. The absolute last one.

This is an odd rebuild. The talent on the team has improved greatly IMO. The OL is actually very good and there are some playmakers on this team (Stevie, Freddy, CJ, Chandler). The defense is patchy and many of the draft choices have simply failed to develop. The major problems that : 1. No QB and no QB of the future on the roster. 2. Defense scheme started 3-4, switched to 4-3, switched DC's and actually somehow got worse ... ? 3. Game day coaching and overall preparation. We do not seem to make the right adjustments at halftime. 4. We lose a lot of close games. There is a lack of leadership and accounatbility among the players. We just do not seem to have players with a winning menatality.

I saw him play on the Bills AFL Championship teams of the mid-60's. He could block, catch, and run. One of many excellent black football players in the CFL that were given a chance by the creation of the AFL. Also met him at once Henry's Hamburgers. I was just a kid then but I could sense his friendly and engaging personality. Four time AFL All Star while playing with the Bills. He and Pete Metzelars are the best TE's ever to play for the Bills. RIP Ernie.

If they continue to play at current level = Spiller and Byrd. Maybes = Wood, Levitre and Kyle Williams.

Yes. Lets change the culture and win. Winning in our division is paramount to that.

I agree with your two points. 1. We are all accountable for our own behavior. Attending a Bills game does not give us the right to get so drunk that we become a nuisance (or a threat) to others or even to ourselves. 2. As humans we are acountable to each other. I would try to stop my brother (or son, or friend) from getting that drunk but if he did I would not let him out of the stadium alone. Lawsuits will be filed for sure. What was missing is accountability from all parties, the victim, the brother, and even the Bills. I am saddened to hear this news but as I have written in the past, things are more out of control than ever at that Stadium and the police our completely out numbered.

All I can say to this is that I am considering not going anymore. The indicident(s) that I dealt with at the last few games just might be the last straw. Been going to Bills games since the Rockpile days of '64. I don't need pom poms, cupcakes, or mai tai's. I don't know what Louboutin's even are.

Not really. He was not in the game for several of the goal line offenses. Just before the half he was on the sideline with a winter coat on watching the game .. pissed me off.
