Yard Monkey Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 After playing the likes of Miami, Cleveland, Cincinatti, and San Francisco. The toughest part of our schedule is complete. I think we finish #1 in D with these sorry teams ahead!
Britbillsfan Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 After playing the likes of Miami, Cleveland, Cincinatti, and San Francisco. The toughest part of our schedule is complete. I think we finish #1 in D with these sorry teams ahead! 143147[/snapback] Might be able to get the #2 ranking, but the Steelers are pretty damn good and I can't see them losing their #1 spot.
jad1 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Finishing 10-6 with the #1 defense in the league would be cool. Who would want to face that in the playoffs? I know, one game at a time. B)
Yard Monkey Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 Might be able to get the #2 ranking, but the Steelers are pretty damn good and I can't see them losing their #1 spot. 143185[/snapback] That's fair. The Steelers only play Jax, Jets, Giants, Ravens, and Bills. It will be a great defensive game when the Steelers - Bills play. #1 against #2. Hopefully they both have something to play for. I want a good matchup forget this "I hope the Steelers to roll over" BS.
Mark VI Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 The #1 Defense and no playoffs. That would be very...unfulfilling.
ICE Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 The #1 Defense and no playoffs. That would be very...unfulfilling. 143388[/snapback] Which is where we are currently heading.
Guest sato Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Which is where we are currently heading. 143389[/snapback] Gotta love the pyrrhic victories! I'll trade a playoff win for the useless stats about where the defense ranks. Same thing with the Pro Bowl. A useless award unless you are a player with a big bonus clause. What would you rather have a team with 5 Pro Bowlers and no playoff wins or a team with NO Pro Bowl players, but post season success?
Yard Monkey Posted December 3, 2004 Author Posted December 3, 2004 Buff News took my idea and made a story out of it!! http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20041203/1006270.asp
Beerball Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Buff News took my idea and made a story out of it!! http://buffalonews.com/editorial/20041203/1006270.asp 144982[/snapback] Means your(aw) smart, no? Pittsburg is at a distinct advantage. They play Cleveland twice, Baltimore twice, and Cincy twice. Not a powerhouse offense among the group. No way we catch them.
stuckincincy Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 come on. he's tim rattay! 143450[/snapback] SF might have Ken Dorsey taking snaps by then. IMHO he's either a sleeper or a waste.
Ray Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Washington, Pittsburgh and Buffalo the top three defenses! G Williams, D LeBeau, and J Gray--something tells me they all have some relation to the Bills! Maybe Donahoe actually has a pretty good eye for talented coaches.
Guest Guest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Hate to return to the old classics, but why do the NFL continue to rate defenses by yardage? It makes no sense.
Guest Guest Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Perhaps more importantly, why does it seem there are Bills players such as London Fletcher doing the same? Are points not more important?
Alaska Darin Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Washington, Pittsburgh and Buffalo the top three defenses! G Williams, D LeBeau, and J Gray--something tells me they all have some relation to the Bills! Maybe Donahoe actually has a pretty good eye for talented coaches. 145138[/snapback] At least on the defensive side of the ball...
jarthur31 Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 A decent defense with a non losing record would be better, IMHO. 10-6 would be the sh-- but that doesn't mean we'll continue to play in January. Need lots of help there.
BADOLBILZ Posted December 4, 2004 Posted December 4, 2004 Washington, Pittsburgh and Buffalo the top three defenses! G Williams, D LeBeau, and J Gray--something tells me they all have some relation to the Bills! Maybe Donahoe actually has a pretty good eye for talented coaches. 145138[/snapback] The only unknown quantity of the three was Gray, and Williams brought him here not Donahoe. Williams and LeBeau had already been acclaimed as top notch coordinators. Donahoe's legacy with regards to coaching hires in Buffalo to this point was hiring one very bad head coach. Hopefully, Mularkey can at least balance the scales.
