billsfan in n.h Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Pay attention: Copyright Violations on an internet site??? go gators and BILLS
tennesseeboy Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I guess the only way we are going to get respect is to earn it. I don't know why they would think the Buffalo DL is better than Miami's as the line is practically all new and the backers are adjusting to positions. I hope they prove to be better on sunday, but a prediction right now seems weird, unless the Dolphins defensive line is just plain awful. If their d-lin IS awful, I would be very afraid of our running game. QB is okay as a prediction but TE seems to be showing lots of improvement, Evans is an all pro with experience with this qb and Parrish seems to be contributing (we are a little weak in receivers). The O-line is not as bad as many of us thought they were, but not the best going. Special teams...new coach..talented players, very very good kickers...I'm not too worried. Coaching? I think Gailey as a game day coach seems to make the most out of the talent he's got. I'm seeing him finding a strategy to win. Bills 27-Miami 24
Cynical Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 on an internet site??? go gators and BILLS Yes, even on an Internet site: free, paid, or otherwise.
Guest dog14787 Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 How about this article. Bill Cower and Phil Simms comments about Chan Gailey and Trent Edwards. Nice article from Tim Graham The Bills haven't even played their first regular season game under Chan Gailey and you can already see a change in how the Bills are perceived by a few of the experts. I have a great deal of respect for Bill Cowher and I also like think Phil Simms is very good at analyzing QB's in the league.
inkman Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 You guys are laughing at the wrong part. It says we have the better DL. Stroud, Williams and Edwards aren't bad.
kdub Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 (edited) Nice article from Tim Graham The Bills haven't even played their first regular season game under Chan Gailey and you can already see a change in how the Bills are perceived by a few of the experts. I have a great deal of respect for Bill Cowher and I also like think Phil Simms is very good at analyzing QB's in the league. Keep in mind that Cowher had Gailey on his staff, and may just be talking that way because he knows Gailey. On the other hand though, since he does know Gailey, he would know what he is capable of and can offer meaningful insight, instead of just blindly throwing hate for Buffalo like many other *experts*. I am inclined to believe the latter case since Simms is in agreement. Regardless, its nice to read something that doesn't breed the negativity like every other column/power ranking/prediction.

qwksilver Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 You guys are laughing at the wrong part. It says we have the better DL. Actually I'm laughing at all the people who pay for this kind of "inside information".
Meark Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 I think its supposed to show the edge.. So if it says our DL is better it's vs their OL.. Miami's OL looked terrible in preseason.. Didn't seem like they could open many holes for the running game.
timba Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Good or bad, in just over 48 hours we will know what we've got! GO BILLS!
Benjamin Barker Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 You mean based upon preseason, when players who won't even make the final roster are thrown together on ST just to see what they can do? Good analysis Ben. What would you base your analysis on? Your magic crystal ball? Or the fact that Chris Brown tells you that the Bills have "excellent special teams"? Moorman is past his prime, Lindell is average, and the days of the Stamer/Wire type special teams heroes are gone.
BobChalmers Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 You guys are laughing at the wrong part. It says we have the better DL. We do. I don't understand the folks here who are still worried about our DL - that was a legitimate comcern in April - the preseason has made that look like a non-issue. Edwards-Williams-Stroud have looked damned good up there. Troup and Carrington have shown good promise. Remember - this is a 3-4 now - we're not looking for a bunch of sacks from the DL. The scary thing has been our LB's - they have shown very little.
8-8 Forever? Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 How about this article. Bill Cower and Phil Simms comments about Chan Gailey and Trent Edwards. whoopee. we still lose a ton of games this year and are a league doormat. again.

Moorman is past his prime, Lindell is average, and the days of the Stamer/Wire type special teams heroes are gone. Oh good grief. Moorman put up a 40-net LAST year. Lindell is way better than average. And the coveage was dramatically better against Detroit - it seems pretty obvious DeHaven had whittled down to the personnel he actually wants out there.
murra Posted September 10, 2010 Posted September 10, 2010 Actually I'm laughing at all the people who pay for this kind of "inside information". Good point, haha. We do. I don't understand the folks here who are still worried about our DL - that was a legitimate comcern in April - the preseason has made that look like a non-issue. Edwards-Williams-Stroud have looked damned good up there. Troup and Carrington have shown good promise. Remember - this is a 3-4 now - we're not looking for a bunch of sacks from the DL. The scary thing has been our LB's - they have shown very little. I have to respectfully disagree with this one. I think its impossible for either of us to speculate too much as to how our line will look come game day. We have admittedly been running a fairly vanilla defense in the pre-season, and having gone to a 4-3 in the Detroit game, its obvious we're being mysterious with it. That being said, I'm not sure how I stand on our D-Line pressure. Personally, I believe that the player who stands the best chance to get constant QB pressure is going to be John McCargo, its just a matter of getting him on the field. I like Stroud at the end, but I'm going to have to say that he is going to be in there to fill up some holes in the run game on the outside moreso than he will be in there to get pressure on the QB. I know we're not looking for sacks with our D-Line, but two of the three starters have a bad track record against the run, and it sounds to me more and more that we'll be playing some 4-3.
