Billy in 4C Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 The Bills have just 6 sacks total through 5 games. Clay Matthews leads the league with 7. The Giants defense as a team (led by Perry Fewell) had 10 sacks just last week! Maybin - 5 tackles through 5 games, 2 were assists, no sacks. Ellis - 5 tackles, 2 were assists. Carrington - 1 tackle. Troup - 8 tackles through 5 games, 2 were assists. Ayodele - 21 tackles in 4 games. Picked off the street after week 1. Terrell Owens is 5th in the league in receiving yards, on pace for one of his greatest seasons ever statistically. Fitzpatrick has a 99.9 QB rating through 2 games, both losses. Maybe QB shouldn't be top priority.
Punch Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 (edited) The D is absolutely brutal at the moment (at least the 'backers) no question. I've wondered that if Luck doesn't come out if the Bills would be wise to stick with Fitz for another year, but aside from the fan base freaking out it's worth considering that a lot of his statistics have been compiled against prevent defenses. He's a gamer, though. Edited October 11, 2010 by Punch
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 As I replied to a rebuilding thread elsewhere, after today I think two LB's would do the team more good than a QB at this particular time.

BuffaloBill Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Well the good news is that it i shard to imagine that we will get any worse. It will be interesting to see how the Bills use the bye week.
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Well the good news is that it i shard to imagine that we will get any worse. It will be interesting to see how the Bills use the bye week. That's kind of what I was saying at the start of the season, only with regard to how we played last year. I was wrong, or perhaps just insufficiently imaginative. I hope you are not insufficiently imaginative.
McBeane Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Fitzpatrick has a 99.9 QB rating through 2 games, both losses. Maybe QB shouldn't be top priority. We disagree here. Fitzpatrick had 2 passes last week that slipped out of his hand in the throwing motion while he remained untouched. That should never happen to a starting QB in the NFL. This week, he over threw Steve Johnson on a WR screen, with the ball being about 10-12 feet over Steve's head. Then right after that, he bounced a backwards pass to Roscoe. It was technically a fumble that Roscoe recovered. Those are mistakes that should never happen in the NFL completely unforced and QB is still our first priority.

Right, and at the same time the Bills defense is giving up over 175 rushing yards a game. A few missed passes or giving up 175+ rushing yards per game...hmmmm what should be the priority here?
T master Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Might want to add: Orakpo - 10 tackles 4 asst. 2 sacks. 13 career sacks, he was there for the taking, but we had to have Maybin. Way to go Modrak & Jauron !!!!!! BRILLIANT SIMPLY BRILLIANT !!!!!!
dgrid Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Carrington - 1 tackle. Troup - 8 tackles through 5 games, 2 were assists. Carrington's first game ever. Troup- rook NT, not gonna get great stats.
