Interesting tidbit. I wasn't aware that TE is 14-15 since entering the league. Big question remains "is it him or the line around him ?"

proven head coaches don't always mean better results. (i.e. jimmy johnson at miami)

Good to know the team finally sold.

He did such a great job in miami, didn't he? JJ had aspecial advantage in Dallas because he was able to trade herschel walker and get aboatload of draft picks. He also had free agent "B" rules which no longer existed in miami or today.

You just don't get it. Peters did not want to be here. His antics during the first holdout told us that. If memory serves our last offer to him was in the 10mil per year range. That is not exactly small change. He wanted out. Quit blaming it all on the FO.

Told the wife today that I will probably never watch the bills again, as they will never reach the playoffs again.

Excuse me, but DJ is not calling the plays or audibilizing at the line. Any dolt can see that if you don't execute you won't score. Quit playing madden football where you do it all. Watch the tivo if you have it and you will see where the players mistakes kill us, not the plays being called.

What he said.

For the young ones, rivalries come and go. A little history may be needed. All four teams in our division were AFL teams, Miami being the last. The patriots* were our first rivalry, with the New york Titans (jets) a close second during the 60's. Miami was an expansion team that we didn't care about until Shula turned them into a Super team in the 70's, during which time we we always fall short, much as we do this decade with the Pats*. During the 80's we were so pathetic through the early years we really didn't have much of a rivalry with anyone. Then the late 80's and 90's arrived, a 12 yr run of success against everyone, especially Miami. Beating Shula and Marino consistently renewedthe rivalry. Payback was sweet. Now we are at the low end trying to remove the dominance of the Pats*, our original rival. Unfortunately we maybe one to two years removed.

to unveil the real offense. Ever since the firings and releasing of coaches and players, this team has had three games to get things figured out. AVP should now be able to develop a game plan with the first 15 plays scripted. TE should be prevented from audibilizing until we get through the script. It time to dictate to the defense, not take what they give you. Execute and let them know that you are the dominator. Play #1. WR Crossing pattern with tight end long up the middle. #2. play action to Lynch, flare to lynch in flat. #3. TD to TO up the seam.

Good point.

We could also run crisscross routes with the tight ends, using illegal picks.

Let me get this straight. Everything would be better when we lose, if the HC was more eloquent in explaining the losses. Those that you quoted said the same thing after their loss, but it sounded better.

This is the week we showcase TO and LE. Especially with BeastMode playing tag team with fast freddy.

I agree. Throw the stupid ball.....Long!!!!!

It is time for the offensive players to have a players only meeting to get the air clear. If TO or TE or LE are going to be true leaders, they need to meet behind closed doors, and air their grievances. TO has been on playoff teams and would have the stature behind closed doors to wake this team up. Explode in your teammates faces, not in public, otherwise pack your bags and go home.

Sunday is our breakout game, as it was for miami last year. The dolphins are just not that good. yes they will try to run the wildcat, but for some reason it's not totally successful, otherwise they would use it even more than 10 -15 plays. My only concern is they may attempt to pass from it this week with white in there.

That's right strength and conditioning will keep us from broken legs, broke or torn ligaments in the thumb, broken arms from getting into the pileup, torn up knees from other players rolling up the back off your legs. If it was hamstrings, pulled muscles, cramps, i would agree, but its actual honest injuries from hard contact. Football.

Ellison = 27 tackles in two games per NFL.com. What's going on?

Agree on TO, but the coach has to also have confidence to go against his nature.

Huddling would be counter productive imo, as it gives the DC time to substitute on down and distance. OTH, the "no huddle" slowed down would help control clock, but also can be run off quickly to prevent substitutions. Did anyone notice the numerous "injuries" on TB defensive players during the game

Thanks, nice update.

i worry about every game. Yes, TB may be a bad footbal team, just now, but we still outplayed them and did it going away. Unlike the NE game where we outplayed them, then beat ourselves. NO has a very high powered O, which means you either have to stop it with turnovers, or outscore it. The second although possible is not probable. The first will require INT's, and fumbles 3+2 imho. The pass rush is pushing the pocket, for the most part, up the middle. Time to throw early in the game by the opposing QB has been shortened. Later in the game we appeared to be gassed against NE, and went to a blitzing scheme against TB. I would attribute much of our defensive success this week to an offense that moved the football and is becoming unpredictable. Look for big things this week. Early safety blitzes would be my guess.

Going for it on 4th and inches on our own 37 early in the game. That showed complete confidence in our young guys, and was a complete 180 by DJ.

Can agree on most, but remember the jets Defense is playing against slower offenses, therefore they are able to substitute freely. By the 18th this O should be clicking on 7 of 8 cylinders, keeping their basic D on the field far longer. i look for a split. and a payback win over Tennessee. 11-5 playoffs
