Beerball Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Hopefully someone can listen and report back? M&M have done a solid job so far, and I am interested in what they have to say about our beloved Bills.
cpero11 Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I caught the very end... Golic predicted the Bills to finish 8-8 and Greeny said 9-7. I was mad that I didn't catch the entire segment...
Mark VI Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I turned on ESPN News out of bed and the interview with Mike Mularkey came on. He talked about the Offensive line as being the major hurdle with this team ( duh ). Kept emphasizing the playcalling will be simplified and that he has confidence in DB. Travis starts at RB and Willis will get his chances. Very pleased with the Defense and is happy to be surrounded by such an experienced coaching staff. After the commercial break, Mike Greenburg picked us for 9-7. Golic had us at 8-8 with a possibility of better. The OL and Bledsoe returning to form must be proven, in their eyes. They like our Defense a lot.

USMCBillsFan Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 That's not too far off. It's going to come down to how much more improved the offensive line is or isn't. 644[/snapback] Absolutely! If our line plays well we can go deep this year....
R. Rich Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 The only part that concerns me is that many people, myself included, have stressed the need for upgrading the offensive line since last season, yet the Bills have done little in the way of personnel to do so. We just have to hope McNally finds the best way to utilize the abilities of the guys we do have.

R. Rich Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Suit up, big boy. 674[/snapback] [sigh] Maybe if I weren't 17 years and 100 lbs removed from the last time I played football, I would.
Beerball Posted August 20, 2004 Author Posted August 20, 2004 Thanks for the info! I like the sound of 9-7, that's only one break from 10-6. We need to get the O-line mojo rising.

I fail to understand why TD has given upgrading the line such a low priority up to now. On the positive side, the current coaching staff understands the importance of a competent OL, a competence that I have said has been lacking for at least the past 6 years.

You and I agree on the line; the problems go back to when we let Wolford and House go in free agency and when Hull (one of my favorite Bills of all time) retired. Things just went downhill from there. Why Donahoe doesn't put a premium on good OL talent is beyond me, especially since we have an immobile QB who needs an established pocket to throw from due to said immobility.

I hope if the need to make this move arises, that egos of front office staff who drafted MW at #4 don't get in the way and do not allow that move to happen.
Steven in MD Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Well...here is some hope...did you see the Giants OL last night? They looked awful. Maybe without mcNally there, they are stuggling. I have hopes he can fine tune the line. Because we did not pick up better personnel.
