BB2004

What Hulk Hogan did for the WWF was outstanding. He had the charisma and character that most people loved. He was the main good guy during the WWF years. You didn't have to worry about him turning into a bad guy. He was a winner and when the WWF let him walk in the mid 1990's, it was one of the worst mistakes that the WWF could have made. Why they had to get rid of him is mindboggling. If they didn't want to feature him as the main event guy, that's alright. But to let him go?

If you could find me a link or give the information on this that would be cool. Growing up as a kid in the 1980's I used to wait for this stuff to come on very Saturday and Sunday when they didn't even have the matches like they do now. You'd be lucky if you got one match for about ten minutes on WWF Challenge or WWF Superstars.

That right. I'll be pulling for him to be picked by the Bills all offseason in the first round. It would be nice to have another type of Will Wolford type of player at the left tackle spot.

I think we have seen that Jason Peters next season will be playing right tackle, hopefully. Left tackle needs to be our number one priority next year in the first round of the draft.

I'd like to see JP scramble a little more today.

He'll have his hands full today and I'm not worried about him in the run blocking today. I still think after this season to put him back to right tackle and draft one of the good players at left tackle out of college, like the guy from Wisconsin Joe Thomas.

Agreed. There has not been anyone else in my opinion who comes even close to him on the play by play. He made it more exciting than anyone. I was sorry that he didn't continue to do it. Did he stop when Hulk Hogan went to the WCW?

Hulk Hogan. But I didn't understand why he had to switch to a bad guy in the mid 90's.

I'm thinking the same thing. I'd like to have him as our middle linebacker for the next four years. He's been reliable ever since he's put on a Bills uniform. He's cut down on his penalities this year, that has made a big difference. Was yesterday his best game in as a Buffalo Bill?

I remember coming to the board before we had user names in 1996, and in 1997 we were pretty bad. But I think you are right, there wasn't this much gloom back then. I think we getting tired of losing. That's all there is too it.

Next year, we understand what needs to be addressed and the offensive line at three postions needs to be upgraded if we are go0ing to get better. I'd like to see Peters move back to right tackle at the end of this season. There are some guys coming out of the draft that are good left tackles. It would be a very good idea to draft one of them.

From what I witnessed when I was watching, the left side of the line played pretty well, but Pennington well, I think maybe we need to put someone else in there. I don't think he's ready. He got beat for two sacks. I saw Brad Butler come in at the end of the game. Maybe they are giving him a chance to start next week.

I agree with the first and last. Tripplett hasn't done very much yet, but I'd like to see him with a tackle next to him that can make plays. Williams is still developing and McCargo is hurt. We knew that Price was going to be a number 3 or 4 guy. Brees was going to New Orleans almost no matter what, that was the guy that the Saints targeted. McFarland has question marks and Clements is our best corner. OL, well that is something that hasn't been addressed since.... can someone help me out on that?

Change is good, however, this is a major change. I think moving Gandy to left guard and Peters to left tackle is a good move. But Pennington, a guy that hasn't played at all moving to the right tackle? Oh my, I wonder if we are going to max protect a lot of the time. If we continue to lose, I am still pulling for Joe Thomas out of Wisconsin to come in and play left tackle for us and move Peters to the right side again.

I'd rather have Joe Thomas, left tackle from Wisconsin. That guy is going to be a solid player. It would be nice to have another Will Wolford.

The offensive line did not play well. We gave JP not a lot of time to throw and Willis had a good game getting what he could. This line is not going to get the job done. Next year this is our number one priority to get fixed. It starts with left tackle and then work your way across the line. Peters at right tackle is good but I would leave him there.

3 years is probably about right. This was a rebuilding year anyway you look at it. But the problem I have with all of this is that we aren't improving week by week. I think that's what makes this frustruating.

I think that looks about right but obviously we won't know unless they play. I think we will win against Green Bay. If we do, will anyone be talking about a possible run to the playoffs like 2004?

I agree, McGahee looked like he was in top form today. He didn't get very many holes to run through, but he made the most out of what he had. He ran hard and played like the back that we know he is.

I agree that I think Clements is a good player and someone that would be good to keep, but I think that Clements is going to another team as soon as this season ends. Unless we make a deal for him soon he'll be the number one guy in free agency for the teams that need a cornerback.

I thought Merz was alright today in his first start in the NFL. He gave up one sack that he just got beat but for the most part I thought that he held his own.

He hardly played. I am a little confused by the pickup because we have defensive ends on the team, but hey maybe he'll make an impact later in the season.

I'm not sure how I would feel if my team blew it like they did. On a positive note for them Matt Leinhart looked very good for them last night, definitely the face of their franchise for the next 10 to 15 years.

I'm not sure that was hard to figure out. Anyone who knows football knows that is not enough against one of the best teams in the NFL. However, the fumble by James really shocked me. Holding on to the ball for another 2 minutes might have been the difference in that game.

At this point putting in Holcomb is not a good idea. JP needs to learn at this point and needs to finish out a 16 game season as starting quarterback. Unless he is really making mistakes consistently, the I think the guy to replace him would be Nall.
