Seriously, to me that was the worst part about playing all those crap teams during 'the streak'. Yeah, good teams beat teams they're supposed to beat. So from that perspective it was a good thing. But I think those teams were also a far cry from the Steelers, and we just weren't prepared for that caliber of team. Of course, there are some people on here (not sure who) that would tell you the outcome of the game would have been entirely different had another QB been playing for the Bills
I think Drew really sh-- the bed in that game. Sometimes your QB need to pull a team out of a game like that, and Drew just didn't have the capability to do that. Hell, even Rob friggin Johnson put us in contention (minus one shoe) in the Tenny game.

The thing that cracks me up about this holiday is most everyone sees it as a time to get justifiably drunk, and then act like it's the only chance we'll have all year to get justifiably drunk. Which is very disrespectful to New Years, Easter, Valentines Day, Sun Day, Groundhog Day, Mon Day, Secretary's Day, Tues Day, Hug Your Teacher Day, Wednes Day...
And Todd...please...stop pissing on people's parades, wouldcha?
I agree. I can get drunk any time I want. I don't need a special day to do it. Anyway, I can't help but piss if I drink too much beer.

I don't think you can look at this in a vacum. It's like chanrging someone for speeding even though they were on the way to the hospital with their pregnant wife. Cant' do that. You have to look at choices.
I'd say the first two years he did very well. Considering when he inherited the team and the Bills were double-digits over the cap with only 34 players signed, he did a great job getting us out of that mess in two years. Very good. He even managed to sign Moulds, which was a major, major coup. Getting TH in the second round was wonderful. Clements in the first round was great.
Given that, I'll use your system.
QB - C+
RJ over Flutie. As much as I hate Flutie, he was better than RJ.
Getting Drew gave us instant credibility to a team that was horrible. Recognizing that last year was the time to draft a QB was very smart, given this year's QB crop in the draft and FA.
RB - B+
TH and WM, and don't forget Shelton
Henry is the definition of 2nd round value.
McGahee was a gutsy pick that is paying off. Shelton was a phenominal FA pickup, and blocked like a madman last year.
WR - B
Moulds, Reed, Aiken, Smith, Shaw, Jett, Wright, Smith and Evans.
Donahoe made a decision to keep Moulds, which paid off. Evans was quite good as a rook. Reed was good as a rook, but I don't feel he's lived up to his potential. The grade is based on Moulds and Evans.
OL - B-
MW, CV, TT, JJ, Ross Tucker, Lawrence Smith, Mike Pucillo, M. Price, Ben Sobieski and Dylan McFarland.
JJ was a great value pick. MW played very well last year despite his slow start. I like watching him nail people. I think CV is darn good. Teague is a decent center.
TE - C+
Mark Campbell, Euhus, Moore, Nuefeld
I like Campbell. He can long snap, and is versatile. Ehus and Nuefeld are both decent prospects. Moore was a good FA pickup. Campbell was worth a 4th rounder, given his production.
DL - A
Aaron Schobel, Sam Adams, Ryan Denney, Chris Kelsay, Justin Bannon Ron Edwards & Tim Anderson
Wonder why this defense has been ranked #2 in the NFL the past few years? Starts here. Good depth, good rotation, and good starters. Schobel is a great find in the 2nd round.
LB - A+
Spikes, Fletcher, Posey, Stamer, Crowell & Haggan
These guys flat out play. Truly the elite of the NFL.
DB - B
Milloy, Clements, Vincent, McGee, Thomas, Baker, Greer, Wire, PP, Raion Hill
Milloy was a great signing. Vincent's ability to play safety and CB is valuable. Wire is a good athlete, but gets paid way too much $$ and I feel he's reached his potential. Clements is obviously a great pick.
K - D
Lindell & Hollis
I really dislike Lindell. D+ is generous, IMHO.
P - A+
Moorman
ST - A+
McGee, etc.
No way you can't give this amazing group a great grade.
Overall
B+
-
And you might want to include STs in your assessment, not just kickers & punters. McGee grades out as an A+, for sure.
I may disagree with you, but I'm enjoying this thread and how you're looking at each position.

That is a below average grade and obviously a valid opinion as you have considered it and made your views public. This is not obviously the Bills starting roster in 2005 and things could change, and will, until then. I have asked this question before, but please give me the names of 20 rosters in their entirety that you would swap straight up for the Bills roster, counting everything. Name 20 teams, that you honestly say, i would rather have all these guys and their history and their contracts and their ages and their talent, instead of the Bills. Very few, dave mcbride being the only one that actually was willing to do it.
Well, you'll find that most of the "haters" really don't care to attempt that because it would prove them wrong.
-
Why did you leave out Moulds in that assessment? He chose to resign him instead of Wiley, effectively keeping him from becoming a FA.
-
Nah. I have nothing against the Irish. Why would I? Hell, if there was a Polish/Italian day named after some saint I probably wouldn't celebrate that, either.
I'm Polish & Italian, BTW. Imagine that - being Polish & Italian and born in Buffalo. How odd!
-
Bwaaa! You don't even know if he was offered a contract, and you're too ashamed to admit it! Either that or it doesn't fit your agenda.
Read the board rules. Crusading = bad.
-
-
I'm waiting on that contract information. Are you going to keep avoiding it or admit you just don't know?
I'm calling you out, man. If you can't come up with facts, you might want to hold your tongue until you can.
-
The Bills didn't get the job done? Did they offer him a contract? How much was it for? How long was it for. Are you holding out on us?
-
With Jason Peters, and Justin Bannan both on the o-line at some points last year..do you think mcnally was experimenting for this season? Plus with Mcfarland from last year and Gandy our pick up this year..and the draft coming..I think its safe to say that MM and TD have plenty of faith in Jim Mcnally to fix this o-line problem in house..
Thoughts?
I highly doubt we'll use what we have. The offseason is long.
-
Please. I can tell you to lighten up when you have to crap on someone's thread saying st. patty's day is useless. Well, to alot of people, so is Easter, and Christmas. People choose to have one day a year where they do nothing but have a good time, drink some green beer and eat crappy food. So yes, lighten up frances.
Lighten up, yourself. You're the one getting uptight because I don't really care about a holiday. You're now pissing on MY wheaties. I happen to ENJOY not liking St. Patrick's day, and if you can't accept that you are a hypocrite. STFU about it, will ya?
And it's spelled Francis, BTW.
-
Oh really? What was the offer? Did the Bills even offer him a contract? Do you know? What were the differences between the two contracts that made him sign with Detroit? What were the intangibles that made Detroit more appealing? Have you spoken to Demulling? Have you read anything about the facts of the matter? Are you making suppositions without facts again?
If you're going to say the Bills lowballed him, you damn well better know the details or else you look like a fool. The look of a fool is creeping up on you.

and i think it's kinda pathetic that you guys can't admit that perhaps he made the wrong move here...........much like he made a wrong move by ignoring kendall last off-season, which would have addressed this need to begin with.........but here we are, still a need at LG, and you guys still making excuses for why he hasn't addressed it........
Read my post again. Please.
And what did the bills offer Demulling? How long was the contract for? For what dollars?
-
i disagree with not signing demulling.....spin it any way you want, but i find it amazing that so many on this board support this non-move by TD.......i think he screwed up here, but you guys are so blinded in defending him that you won't even consider that maybe he didn't make the right move.......
I'm not happy about our OL situation at this point, however you are so blinded by your opinion (a WRONG opinion for that matter) of TD that you grasp at any straw to dis him. It's kinda pathetic, bud.
-
So how much did the Bills offer him? How was the contract structured? Do you have this information or are you making it up?

Am I the only one here who agrees with his post? Yeah sure he's doom and gloom all the time, but he does bring up some good points. Who's left that we can sign that's worth a damn for the left side of the line? I'm sorry but J.P is going to take a beating if it's anyone on our roster now taking Jonas' place.
The Bills have not improved this offseason. We don't even have a first round pick.
Just when I thought you were starting to mellow with age like fine wine .....
Do you mean to say we're DOOOOOMEEED?
