dave mcbride Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 i read today that bellamy, their 10 year starter at strong safety, is out for the year with an acl tear. while that's bad for him (obviously), that's good for the bills. has anyone watched them versus the run this year? I know jonathan sullivan stunk his first two years at DT; has he stepped up finally? their lack of a strong safety will certainly help the bills' running game and theoretically their short/medium passing game. how's mckenzie (he of the recent huge contract extension) playing at CB? mcallister? i know they beat a pretty good carolina team, but they've had carolina's number for a while now and i don't put a whole lot of stock in it. they couldn't stop the giants or the vikes at all. i like the bills' chances on offense this weekend - they should be able to score over 20 points. if the bills' offense doesn't produce against this crew because of qb play, then i think it's pretty clear that losman will pretty much stink this season (i'm not saying future seasons, though). also, if the bills want to salvage the season -- which i certainly hope is what they want -- they should turn to holcomb for the all important miami game. if losman stinks it up against the saints, i can't seem being anything but horrible v. the dolphins, who have again have a very solid defense and a great defensive coach in saban.
Robert Paulson Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Bills 31 Saints 13 JP shows improvement the D plays tough ST has a TD
DeeRay Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 Well... after getting gashed for 500 yards on the ground in the past two weeks, the thought of the Bills defense going up against Duece McCallister (or even Duece Bigelow for that matter) does not give me a warm and fuzzy feeling. As far as scoring 20 points? Can Lindell nail 7 field goals? Cuz JP aint gonna do it with his arm, and I'm pretty sure the Saints know that and they also know that #21 is their only threat.
Ghost of BiB Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 new orleans - anyone have thoughts? No. I'm at the whatever happens, happens point already.

dib Posted September 28, 2005 Posted September 28, 2005 I think if Pakenham turns Jackson's flank the city is lost.

I think the struggles continue. Hopefully JP won't get injured.
dave mcbride Posted September 28, 2005 Author Posted September 28, 2005 isn't that "I find your lack of FAITH disturbing"? 457766[/snapback] no. i thought about putting in the obvious one -- faith (i have in fact seen star wars) -- but it's inappropriate, because the term isn't future-oriented. "hope" is.

Granted they have a habit of doing that, but if they decide not to this game, it's going to be very tough. I don't think it's a great matchup because although they have weaknesses elsewhere, they're good on both sides of the line; so they're pretty much the opposite of the Bills. Also, McAllister could have a big game receiving with Spikes out and a gimpy Fletcher. I also get the feeling that it's going to be one of the more jacked up crowds in recent memory.
