jarthur31 Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 Basing predictions on preseason performances is flat out crazy. 428967[/snapback] That's very true but the Bills are the exception. Go back and look at the last two years and what happened right after preseason.
Rico Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 How can you re-watch the game when it isn't on until 2pm today? PTR 428992[/snapback] I noticed the same thing...obviously a pre-written rant.
sfladave Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 How can you re-watch the game when it isn't on until 2pm today? PTR 428992[/snapback] The game was broadcast Saturday at noon in the Buffalo market.
Chilly Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 The game was broadcast Saturday at noon in the Buffalo market. 429121[/snapback] But he claims he was re-watching it.
1billsfan Posted September 4, 2005 Posted September 4, 2005 That's very true but the Bills are the exception. Go back and look at the last two years and what happened right after preseason. 429088[/snapback] Look at what we did when McGahee was inserted into the lineup after the 0-4 start last year. We won't have to wait much longer to find out who's right.
Terry Tate Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 Wait until teams really game plan and send all types of blitz packages in. I really hate the rule that doesn't let the Bills game plan for the other teams. It's so unfair. They don't stand a chance.

But DB still had the respect of some D coordinators and unless JP earns his quickly, we're going to see a lot of run and pass blitzing.
buckeyemike Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 The line does concern me...it's starting to remind me of some of the terrible Browns O-lines I've seen since about 1988. That said, one advantage JP has over Bledsoe...of course, his LEGS. He's gotta learn to slide, however, or he'll be hurt again. However, one thing we've forgotten to mention is that there have been three consecutive years with a 1,000 yard rusher...even with this line. The coaches and players have to be doing something right to accomplish that. Mike

Bledsoe made them look a lot worse than they are/were.

Bledsoe made them look a lot worse than they are/were. 429401[/snapback] Bledsoe last year had the footspeed of Bernie Kosar riding a giraffe while popping Quaaludes. Mike

Henry gained much of his yardage because of the Gilbride lunacy. KG made the Bills into a passing team with no offensive line. Real smart, no? Defenders were so hell bent on sacking our defenseless qb, that Henry was able to get a little head of steam and gain yardage. Admittedly, it did help that he was very strong. WM fared even better, but imo, all too much of his yardage was due to his currently unsurpassed stiff-arm, and his second (as well as individual) effort. Count me as one who thinks that MaGahee, if he stays healthy, is literally great. Even if the OL was to get kudos for the success of Willis in 04, remember that out LT is gone. Sorry, this OL is not a pretty picture.

That's right, 1985. Twenty seasons since Kevin Mack and Earnest Byner did it together. To the Browns, three consecutive seasons of 1,000 yard rushers would be a cause for celebration. Hell, one would be. Mike
Stussy109 Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 defense and ST's alone win us 10 this year, just my opinion.
OBXBILLSFAN Posted September 5, 2005 Posted September 5, 2005 I love it when people consign us to the scrap heap before the season even starts.

Chalkie Gerzowski Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 They will be better than 6-10. And if I say they will be better than 6-10, you can damn well believe that they will indeed be better than 6-10.
