bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Kelsay is a good example of how poorly run this organization is from top to bottom ( well actually the senior hydration folks do a good job getting gatorade and water to the players).Why this guy got an extension before season panned out or got at least 50% done, why he is even on the field, why our draft picks are basically useless or being mis-used and on an on. Spiller is turning into a wasted pick at least for this year he is not getting enough touches of the ball to make the difference a 9th overall pick needs to be making. Other picks this year cant get on the field and the great picks of DJ/Levi are basically terrible.
bills1960 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 It may have been his worst game as a Bill. How is Maybin gonna be worse than him? He literally can't make a play. I focused on his pass rushing late in the game too -- absolutely nothing to offer. Exactly. it's pretty hard to be worse than Kelsay, probably impossible...Right?
HurlyBurly51 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Whenever I allow myself to get optimisitic about the direction Nix/Gailey is taking this team, I am reminded of the move to extend Kelsay and reality sets back in.

How about Carrington and Troup? What has Troup done so far? And Carrington's not even dressing! So Spiller doesn't touch the ball, Troup is struggling, Carrington doesn't play at all and the only positive from this draft has been a late round pick (Moats) and an undrafted free agent (Nelson)? Hard to have confidence in that.
Fixxxer Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Sorry, but I have to call you on this. This is, quite simply, wrong. Whitner played well today - very well. He had seven tackles (many of them good ones) and four assists, and comparing him Kelsay is genuinely ridiculous. Kelsay was in there for pretty much every snap, and they seemed to be running at him all day. Yet all he chalked up was one assist: http://scores.espn.go.com/nfl/boxscore?gameId=301031012 . I agree Dave, why people do this constantly trully gets to me. Why can't people be objective with Whitner is beyond me. I get that the guy is not Reed or Polamalu but people make him out to be as he if the guy were a POS. Where is the outrage on Wilson's drop on that easy int? I hate the double standards fans take some times.
Zulu Cthulhu Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 The wilson drop was unbelievable. Donte didnt play horrible, but still nothing to write home about. Kelsay's level of suck is off the frigging charts. Kyle Williams must be sick of playing with bums like that behind him.
NaPolian8693 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 In fairness to Kelsay, Matt Cassel does have some devastating moves.
BillsVet Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 How about Carrington and Troup? What has Troup done so far? And Carrington's not even dressing!

Hard to have confidence in that. The '10 Bills draft class is barely recognizable out there. Spiller's getting less than 10 touches per, Troup is a depth DT, Carrington rarely dresses, Moats gets some PT and the rest are injured or camp fodder. By comparison, KC has the following playing important roles: Eric Berry - starting SS Dexter McCluster - PR/WR/RB but injured today Javier Arenas - nickel CB Jon Asamoah - starting RG Tony Moeaki - starting TE 5 guys making contributions to that team is outstanding. Time will tell if they become long term starters, but that class could be very good in 1-2 years. Buffalo's can't even get on the field. No serious Bills fan can underestimate the importance of having great talent evaluators who develop a vision and stick to it. Give KC credit for hiring Pioli and revamping their organization. Buffalo can't even interview external candidates which is the tale of the tape for why this organization is organizationally dysfunctional.
bobobonators Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 kelsay was a marginal DE, at best. As a LB, he's an absolute liability on the field.

If we had 5 rookies playing extensive time you would come up with the "because the starters suck" excuse. I have yet to see you post a positive thought about this team, and you telling me there isn't any, is not realistic.

bills44 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Today was his birthday. hopefully, he'll return his football uniform costume tomorrow morning.
thebug Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I could get toasted on EVERY play for a lot less money.
Sisyphean Bills Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) Chan and Buddy have been pretty decisive about other roster moves. I cannot figure the delay here other than no one else is ready to step in. Teams absolutely game plan against him. Yes, they do attack Kelsay (Whitner as well). The only thing that makes any sense is that the coaches really do not have anyone else that they think can step up at the position. It was a major mistake in judgement to hope that Kelsay could be converted to a LB. For all the people screaming "get Maybin in there", it seems really unlikely that Maybin is going to be an improvement in run defense at Sam. The so-called "athletic" and fast Maybin isn't even allowed to get on the field on special teams, where athletic kids often become standouts. Maybin showed he was just a guy that got called for offsides on kick coverage every once in a while. Maybin's lack of size and strength would just make him a stack of pancakes. In fairness, the Bills are by a landslide the worst team in the NFL. There aren't really a ton of bright spots. Here's a positive nugget that used to be dropped on this board: "Well, at least we're not the Detroit Lions." Edited November 1, 2010 by Sisyphean Bills
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Ryan Denney looked like Bruce Smith compared to Kelsay.
Zulu Cthulhu Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 In fairness, the Bills are by a landslide the worst team in the NFL. There aren't really a ton of bright spots. You're right but that in no way justifies atrocities like Kelsay's play yesterday. You could have thrown a Maybin jersey on him and you wouldn't have been able to tell the difference. There aren't many, but there are guys on the team contributing good football: williams, fred jackson, steve johnson come to mind.
bmur66 Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I enjoyed seeing 6'6" Matt Cassel juke him out in the open field and pick up 10 yards on a scramble. That's like being juked out by Drew Bledsoe. He should have went to the locker room and buried his head after that play. That was pathetic.
VirginiaMike Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 I have no freaking idea why this guy was signed to a new contract mid year. I always defended him as a 4-3 D-End, ven when he wasn't great. He may be the worst linebacker I've ever seen. Maybin may not be any better, but I can't imagine him being any worse.
DDD Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Kelsay got Eddie Robinson'ed by Matt Cassel today
