Spiderweb

HEY, CJ WAS A ROOKIE !!! Very few RB's out of college are adept at pass blocking. Thurman Thomas was poor as well and over the years, he became a dependable blocker in the pass game when needed. If he has the mindset and some God given ability, there's no reason he couldn't become a decent blocker.

Cookie, a zany individualist before that was more acceptable. Extraordinary talent, running, catching, blocking and even played LB while in the CFL, playing on both offense and defense. Should be on the Wall......

Whew, thankfully you weren't around to witness O.J's first couple of years as there was nothing special in them, yet he went number one overall in the draft.

So far, 1-3...... Better luck next round.

In the spirit of DC Tom, the word is "your".

Stroud wasn't pushed out of a job, so who replaces him? I agree he's a liability these days yet unless serious talent is brought in, he may be the best option as much as I'd like to be able to wish him farewell. Stroud, a vet, won't be viable depth unless his pay is adjusted to be paid like veteran depth. When he no longer starts, he would be a cut far more likely than being "depth".

That's absurd... The unwarranted bashing many here give Poz is beyond ridiculous. He may not be a star as of now, but he is a very solid player and solid players warrant considerably more $$ in today's game. To all those that bash him relentlessly, cut him and then see what's left, absolutely nothing. Zero LB's, with the possible exception of a guy who's been extremely limited due to injury for a couple years. Nice thinking there "Geniuses". Urlacher money, no, but due a considerable pay raise, heck yes he is. Simply unbelievable.....

....and as the best Punter in the league (or darned near).....he won't be without work for long.

Agree. Does JP Losman, Trent Edwards come to mind? Talk about brain locked......

Play on the old Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young song from back in the day........

Even if he was demoted, his background included coaching the LB's and we all know how well ours played this year. Yes, there was a serious talent deficiency once we got by Poz who I believe is above average. Edwards did not do the job, by any means of evaluation. He needs to go and someone who can run a defense be brought in.

While Poz may not be elite at this point, losing him would create another gaping hole. Whitner I would offer what the Bills have been reported to have offered and possibly some incentives, but that's it. Sign Poz, stand firm on Whitner.

Concur, but I would also like to see Dareus considered as well as Fairley.

While I've bashed Kelsay numerous times over the years, he's a far better player at DE than he was in experiment to have him play OLB. Overpaid? Maybe, but not one to be cut unless half the roster or more is let go, and that would be capitulation.

John, I agree. Bell until the last couple games was playing very well. I believe what showed against the Jets Sunday was Fitz was missed more than just his throwing. Fitz make a lot of the line calls and there were 3-4 plays I recall where Bell ended up on a double team against the Jets end and the blizing CB came in totally free. Fitz likely would have seen that and changed his assignment to pick up the blitzing CB/Safety. Overall I'd give Bell higher grades in pass protection than run blocking but that's where he stands today. Bell is currently serviceable and I see a proficient LT for the Bills in Bell. He made giant steps this year over last, and I see no reason he won't improve further especially since his knee will only be stronger this coming year.

Cherry picked? Yeah, that what I did. There was a three game stretch with the Bills in every game in which Fitz had the very 4th quarter picks I referred to. How about Fitz's pick and three fumbles against the Vikes, or his three picks and two fumbles against the Pats. That's 5 games right there. How about Fitz's last 9 games, in which the Bills scored 20 or more point just once (Bengals)? If Fitz is to become a winning QB, all of this must improve. I'm sure with a little digging I could add more, but this is all highly visible and required no digging. Fitz would get us close, but then break our heart. Added: Heck, I like his fire, his intensity, his effort, etc. He surely helped make the Bills far more competitive, but no rose colored glasses here, he played a part in the losses, sometimes a considerable part. based on what the Bills have and what he did, yes, he is clearly our number 1, but I wouldn't stop looking for an upgrade to the QB position.

While I don't agree with Chan, that is he thinks Fitz is the man, it's definitely true that Chan has Fitz' back and believes in him to run his offense.

Nice, I find agreement here....

Come on hopeful, be sporting. Gailey said the pass protection was horrible, that the speed of a live game was more than Brohm was ready for in a single game, and that his decisions should have been quicker. He added that it wasn't due to preparation. He was prepared for what the Jets did. He praised Fitz for understanding the speed of the game and his. Brohm sounded unconscious. I could listen and stopped the vid.

Athletes are great, isn't Maybin just wonderful? Personally, I agree with Gailey/Nix, I'd like football players first.

Fine, so long as it's Luck. If not then DE (Dareus) in the first or possibly DT (Fairley).

I believe Nix's hope is that Merriman will be able to go decently in 2011, thus adding a solid ( if not very good) OLB. This would make a DE (Dareus?) a solid pick with our first. That is unless The Bills brass is in awe of the performances of Duan Edwards and Marcus (I'm getting real long in the tooth") Stroud this year. Carrington make work out well, but he surely didn't show enough to rest the future on him alone.

As I mentioned before, a voice of reason....... (agree as well). Brohm stunk today, but as for writing him off on this performance alone? No, that would be simply a knee jerk reaction.

+1

Started, but too long and intended more for season ticket holders, not those who come in from out of town for a game or two a year.
