Gott a agree that we are in trouble with our LBs. Problem is, he need to draft or sign a FA defensive end as well. In first round, it is either DE or OLB depending on which of these positions we address in free agency. Poz regularly reacts too quickly and gets blocked out of plays. Ellison is virtually useless and Mitchell is inconsistent, but at least sometimes makes big plays.

I watched Kelsay carefully last week against Cleveland. He made No plays, whiffed on some and was suckered into several endarounds (reverses). He is a mindless, untalented unplayer and we need his cap money to get a real DE. Cut him whether Ellis is any good or not. Denny, on the other hand, at least has the eight to knock down passes and is a better RDE because he can tackle and is smarter than no-mind, no-body KElsay.

just want all thew heroes like jer sullivan to come on board and admit they were wrong

and run for two tds

Very bad. No ends, a back-up lb, a 'rookie' mlb, safeties who are injured but even when healthy slow, a good cb is is now out. And apparently not much depth.

Losman, get off this board.

Think he is still a good young qb whose successes have been counter-attacked by good defensive coaches. As Jaws said on MNF, "they know he's a good outside passer, so they double-cover outside and force him to throw to the middle." Then Trent says the Bills practise all week for a completely different defense. There was nowhere to go except his outlets and occasionally Johnson or Royal down the middle. Why didn't Schonert have Evans running some in-patterns? Edwards definitely looked like a kid out there, but coaching didn't help matters. We don't have the Cronell, Parcell, Belichick minds running this team.

Well, it's time to talk about next season already... sadly, when we figured playoffs for sure this year. After watching recent play, which starters need to be upgraded through the draft or free agency? I would put Kelsay at the top, with a C second, an OLB third.

Who are the most promising DEs in the college ranks right now, o you or anyone else know?

You are not even close to my depression - Bills and Nationals!

agree with your "worst", but add Thiesman, Cornholer, Tasker

Only the Friday before an important division home game and these guys are talking hockey. Does the station actually have a program director? Is everyone who works there hockey first, football only if forced.

I'd applaud this move, partly because he is too slow to cover, so might as well try to blitz. SOMEBODY better be blitzing Farve. That idiot Fewell has cost us two games by playing soft coverages.

We have been badly outcoached in two games. That's why we are 5-2. When we get good game plans, we win. Defense was way too laid back against both Cards and Dolphins. Coaching is our weakness, plus Robert Royal pain in the ass.

Montana seems to be the consensus, which would be fine with me. I think Edwards is a little bigger and possibly a little brighter (from hearing Joe talk).

If things get drastic, they could aways try the multi-talented Donte Whitner at LB (in a pinch or to replace the untalented Keith Ellison) and install Scott at SS, with either Ko or George at FS. I'm tired of watching Ellison and seeing him being blocked or otherwise out of the play.

We are pretty good in our depth right now. It is starters that we need to upgrade. We need upgrades at TE, C, RG, OLB. Since you can't find all four in a draft, you have to sign a FA at one or more of these positions. Maybe Gonzalez will be willing to come here next year; if not, we need some kind of big FA signing, so we can then concentrate on drafting the others positions in rounds one to three. In addition, of course, we also need that FA QB you talk about.

Agreed.

Exactly. No Edwards = no wins. Pretty simple equation.

I had to turn of the sound by half-time.

Agreed. What has he done yet to impress anyone?

Never been "gitty".

Great game with a miracle finish. UB's defense isn't much, but I hope the Bills' offense was watching this game on their flight to Florida! Inspiring!

Do it, Russ.
