Stampede

i was born a Buffalo Bills Fan. i have never lived in Buffalo or New York State but i will always be a Bills fan win or loose until they leave the area. as painful as it may be, this is my destiny. Go BILLS!!!

i think the problem has more to do with the actual transition into the nfl. i believe poor coaching, poor coordinating and the rush to activate young qbs is the problem. qb coaches (or the lack of), offensive coordinators (more eager to be lauded as "geniuses") and owners share the biggest portion of the blame. if you consider the fact that college qbs are there because they at least have the talent and mentality for the position, should still have that talent and mentality if they chose to enter the nfl. if they are wise enough to play for a school that incorporates a pro set then they are that much more ahead of the curve. i honestly feel the majority of qbs that fail at the pro level do so primarily because of a lack of proper coaching. all nfl teams should incorporate a qb coach, but they don't. Tiger Woods (i know its not football but the same applies) is accepted as being the best golfer of our generation (possibly of all time) and he has a personal coach, it just makes sense in my mind. i STILL believe if JP had proper coaching, a stable offensive scheme and a staff that would have stuck with him (example: Eli Manning), we wouldn't have the problem that we are now faced with. and it appears as though Trent MAY be heading down the same path; poor coaching and failing to put the player in a position to display his strength within the system. in other words don't ask the qb to do things that DOES NOT take advantage of his NATURAL ability and strength. just my opinion, i could be wrong.

just to point out a couple of things in your observation: #6: did you happen to see the Jets/Broncos game? the Broncos centers are Casey Wegmann @ 6'2" 285 and Tom Nalen @ 6'3" 286. compared to Melvin Fowler @ 6'3" 310 and Duke Preston @ 6'5" 326. mention was made several times as to how small but very good the Denver oline is. the problem is talent evaluation and coaching. when you say road graders i assume you refer to size. #13: Losman has all the tools as well and was not well coached and neither is Edwards. you don't seem to have a clue as well, it may not make a difference with this coaching staff. i say may not because this is the rookie year for both van Pelt and Schonert and they should learn from this season's mistakes.

hey BILLS#1! i'm from st petersburg on vacation in Bill's country for the first time ever, it's like being on a pilgrimage! i will be coming back home the end of this month, speaking of Dumass, i am so glad i don't have to listen to his big mouth for a while. never thought of him until i saw your post. sorry, i have no reply to your question. Go BILLS!!!

i have to pitch my vote for the defense, they are the ones who came up huge in my eyes. i'm sure most would disagree but if oakland would have scored TDs instead of FGs we may not have come out with a win. just my opinion.

actually the koolaid i'm drinking has us going undefeated and B*TCH SLAPPIN THE COWBOYS BIG TIME TO WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!!!!!!!!! (to h*ll with the dollfans) ............now i feel a little better, just a little. Go BILLS!
