Maybe Big Mike gave us a gift today in getting Holcombe hurt and getting JP on the field. I think Holcomb loses that game for us

I really like Nata from Oregon, he is huge, quick and strong. PW, the second coming. I think that our first three rounds should be: Round 1 - OT Round 2 - DT Round 3 - CB Round 3 (Titans) - OG If the draft is as deep as I hear, I say we go Nata (Nada?) - certainly not a zero , and then go Oline.

I would be shocked in Favre were back next year.

Boy I would like to see the Bills win, but I think that we get out-coached and run all over again. It will sting a little more because it is primetime and we'll have to wait all day to see it happen. I say we score on our opening drive and then put up 2 more FG, and lose 28-13. Can't have faith in them until they prove it to me.

Can we all please stop Drew posts?

pdx all the way, we are clean...

Thank you Jim Bob, the market will set the price, please continue to teach these you posters.

Could there be a better time to post the BIG 100? Let's go Buffalo!! I believe that the key stat of the day will be converting our offensive third downs. Second key stat is getting Willis over 100 against a tough run d. And third, getting off the field on 3rd down - no more freakin stupid penalties. Oh, and go Sabs - looking pretty good early, although I have not seen them live, it is refreshing to see a little offensive firepower in Buffalo.

OK, I have Antonio Bryant, Lee Evans, Chris Henry and need to start two of them, who would you take? Too bad the Eagles are on a bye...

The Pats should put him on IR and take the temptation off the table. This has potential catastrophe written all over it for Teddy.

No, but fun to watch Holcombe move the ball a little, see who shows up on D.

And in honor of all this, I picked up Lindell, because all we do is kick FG!!

Ohh, that was funny, my first out loud laugh all day. Thank you

On the west coast and wondering if there is any news on TKO. I would think that if it is an achilles rupture that he is out for the year. Any word?

Go Deep early and often!!

Uconn, Where's the fro bro? Bring it back because the new dude in the avatar just ain't cuttin it.

Both, although Snyder seems to be dumber at spending his money

RB, I don't blame Drew as much as others for our inabilities last year and certainly don't put the scapegoat on him. Honestly, at the TB game, I was missing him a bit watching JP look like a deer in the headlights. Drew would have been a ton better in Buffalo with a more capable pass blocking Oline. I don't blame any offensive player for the 2 TDs late in the game tonight, but there was something about that last drive and DB wilting in a very familiar way that reminded me of so many late game drives (see Pats at Buffalo last year). Also, all the sacks that Brunell took early in the game sooooo reminded me of Bledsoe last year

TC, good call. I thought that both he and Brunell threw really good looking long passes, Drew can still throw a nasty, tight, and accurate long pass. The game has changed though and a good throw needs to be coupled with some legs to move!

Rat-Boy, with all due respect, Glenn was an idiot for running a short route. But there are at least 3 and probably 4 other receivers on the field and that IS Drew's fault for throwing the ball (I don't think that his receiver made him throw it) to the wideout that is short (or even close) of the sticks. Oh, and I am neither pro or anti Bledsoe. I like the guy and was getting ready to post a "good game and good luck" thread about him. But he was not able to get the job done at the end of the game, as with the rest of his team.

Bledsoe looked good for the better part of that game, and I think that he looked pretty good against the Chargers too. A decent Oline makes a world of difference. But, alas, we see the old Drew that frustrated us so badly over the past few years. On 4th and four, Drew throws a three yard in. Game over. Where have we seen that? Passing to a receiver short of the yard marker. Good luck Cowboy fans, you can't beat the skins on your field...get ready for a long 14 weeks

Yes, thank you FIC, let's move one. The Bills have another real test next week. I don't think that the Eagles game was a fluke. From what I saw the Seattle O Line was unreal. This leads me to believe that we have a great potential to struggle because our Oline pretty much sucked yesterday. Something that I would like to see corrected next week is that we "take it to" our opponent. We were clearly overmatched in intensity all day long against the Bucs. They pushed us around and we let them. We did not "power" run at all, and basically let them dictate the game to us. Much the same that we did to the Texans a couple weeks back. But again, our Oline has to show up. And JP has to settle down and make throws on target. Maybe he should watch some tape on Kyle Orton and see how a "rookie" should play

Pasta, are we not factoring in Willis into TOP?

Speaking of dropped passes, did you see the Carr throw that hit Bradford in the back of the shoulder? Man, I would have ripped the WR a new one if I threw a seam pass dead on and he wasn't even turned around, AND, it hit him on the shoulder. Kind of a snapshot of the day for the Texans.

Mularkey's strategy for this team played out beautifully yesterday, watching the Texans D wear down in the middle of the 2nd and into the 3rd was amazing. Willis continued to chunk off runs and they slowly got longer and longer. It is refreshing to see a team and a coach actually have a high level of conviction and strategy, and be patient enough to stick with it. Mularkey's formula for victory seems so much more simple that the previous 10 years of bad coaches on our team: keep the safeties back with the pass, and run-run-run. When the safeties are up pass them back into coverage and then get back to the run. Why was that so hard for killdrive? I would like to see better production and efficiency in the red zone. We seemed to get bottled up pretty easily as we got close to the endzone (penalties didn't help either). IMHO, if we are to win these out-of-division games and put ourselves into a playoff position, we gotta score 7 on more of those trips.
