Article also said this about Crowell Bills WLB Angelo Crowell needs to do a better job tackling. On the Lions' first run of the game, Crowell was in perfect position to make the tackle, and it was his responsibility to fill the hole. But he did not get his hat across his body and fell to the ground, letting Kevin Jones run right through the tackle for a 52-yard gain. A few series later, Crowell came underneath Jones again, this time on the goal line, and Jones ran right through his arms again as Crowell hit the dirt. Arm tackling does not get the job done in the NFL and opens the door to big plays that change the outcome of a game. Crowell whiffed too many times and needs to play with more authority.

I can agree with that. I say we trade/sign (if he is released again) Ty Law. He is older but he had 10 INT's last year (and the Jets released him ) and has 2 so far this year plus a number of pass deflections over the past two years ...

That was actually a real question I was wondering about ... ive given up on the Clements arguement when no one wanted to listen.

link?

So what does this do with the McFarland trade? Or are we going to trade for him also, and having a rotating 6 man DT setup?

Oh so you know nate personally? Why didnt you tell us all along? We are paying him over 7 million this year and STILL ARE 12 MILLION UNDER CAP. So we obviously have the money to pay him and more. Its not that we cant do it, its that we wont. Nate would stay in Buffalo. He has said as much in the past ... he just wants the money.

Oh your right. Thanks for the shot of confidence

Were going to have to if Clements is gone ... I sure hope we can fix our lines though.

They want to scrap the season by throwing Youboty in their and "hope for the best" ... if he turns out to be a total bum then we have 1 corner who has gotten burned every week this season (McGee) and a bum rookie and thus we have to draft or sign another corner.

Game changer? No . Most cornerbacks are not. Gamechangers usually mean QB's, WR's or RB's ...Deion Sanders is the only "game-changing" CB I can think of. Also Comments like above make me think you dont go to BIlls games because if you did you would see him cover receivers all day before he misses a deflection or tackle.

I posted this is another thread but here we go again I COMPLETELY disagree. In fact I believe that Clements for McFarland is not fair to the Bills. Tell us all what McFarland has done. He is the same size as our current D-lineman so were not even adding any beef. I dont know the whole story but it seems to be injury prone as he has only had 2 complete seasons out of his 7 year career. He only averages 30 tackles a season, not to mention his best year was 6 years ago and he will be 30 this December. Clements on the other hand turns 28 in December, his best season was only 2 seasons ago, he has 5 straight complete seasons without being injured. He averages 70 tackles, 4 INT's, 9 pass deflections per year, and has scored a defensive TD in 4 of his 5 years in the NFL. He is also a threat at punt returner. Not to mention that he is on pace to have his best season with pass deflections this year ... Talk all you want about how he misses tackles, Clements is an overall better player and a straight up trade is not fair to the Bills.

Atleast someone gets it. Were stuck right now. If we get rid of Clements we: GAIN: _____ 1. The cap space from which we can get a few decent players (if that) LOSE: _____ 1. A solid DB who doesnt always INT but he does blanket WR's (look at Steve Smith's stats against him last year) 2. We move McGee to #1 DB ... no way 3. Youboty is forced to step in and we *hope* he is good 4. We have to either pick up or draft another CB Its just not worth it. Pay the guy.

Well for one our best CB would be gone ... #2, Randy Moss was sent because the Vikings thought he was a bad apple and most people agreed. Champ Bailey was traded because the Redskins would get one of the best RB's in the game. Duh. We arent getting one of the best DT's in the game.

HAHAHA Ronnie Brown and Roy Williams both had the best games of their seasons this week ... Why would you ever tell someone not to start ANY starting RB against the Jets defense?

Toomer ... 1.8 points Westbrook ... 7.5 points Tynes ... 1 point

Well T.O. had over 21 fantasy points this week and smith had about 25 or so I believe ... thats incredible.

HEY NOW! Atleast Miami is worse. Thats good. look at it this way ... The Patriots, Bengals, and Ravens sucked for a few years and then became Super Bowl contendors (2 of them winning a SB) Also. Lets face it. Jim Kelly, Thurman Thomas, Andre Reed, Bruce Smith .. and Co. spoiled us.

He is so good they want to trade him? What an honor

haha very nice!

What are you talking about? As long as Ralph is alive they will be in Buffalo ... and I have a good feeling that even after he is gone they will continue in Buffalo.

Way to elaborate.

Yeah and thats the sad part. Some teams are smart and keep players for a long time (madison, vincent ... etc) Also. Were not guaranteed to get a good player in return for him.

This should be hands down McGee or Gandy.

That was the only one I messed up on (misread column) ... all the rest you changed the ammount of games to influence your results.
