bills_fan_in_raleigh Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Lindell. No question here is a guy that many wanted out of town and this year he seems to have found his leg. 50 yard field goals( with plenty extra), kickoffs into the end zones and overall accuracy on all other FGs. This guy is defintely MVP of this team so far plus who would have thunk it he be having a better year kicking than Moorman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bflo83 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Lindell has been money - no doubt about that (and I was one of the Bills backers not too happy with him after last year) I'd say Willis has been the offensive mvp but my favorite Bill this year has been Terrence McGee. He's stepping up on defense (big pick against the Fish last week) and has again been a return demon this year. As much as the end of that return in San Antonio pi$$ed me off I hadn't seen a run back like that since that Dante Hall runback against Denver a few years ago. I see him taking one back to the house in the next two weeks - I would love to see one against the Pats to start the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus if Bruschi returns that week could be the boost that NE would need. Would love to see both a KO return as well as a pick for a TD by McGee as well against the Pats.

Grant Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It also bears stating that being unhappy with Lindell last year and happy with him this year is NOT something one ought to apologize for, nor does it make you a bad fan or fair weather or whatever. It's absolutely justified to have been displeased with Lindell last year because he was not playing at nearly the same level. Last year, Lindell was ridiculously inconsistent and sometimes would miss FGs that were chip shots. That deserved some raggin'. This year, Lindell is playing great. He's hitting kicks he should make, plus kicks you wouldn't expect him to. This deserves praise. There hasn't been any in this thread, I'm just saying that there's nothing worse than a "oh, you're all stupid for not liking Lindell last year" post (equally as bad as "let's run this player out of town after a single bad game") when, in reality, Lindell did not deserve to be liked last year. This year he does. And we're all happy it's turned out this way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just happy he's now doing the job the Bills need him to do because they need a dependable kicker. The Bills are not going to blow too many teams out so hopefully he can make a difference in the tight games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seemed like he was never strong on Kick Offs or beyond 40 yards. Good to see we were all wrong so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan Trapped in Pats Land Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 I'll say it: Crowell deserves some serious consideration here, if only for a couple games. Lindell has been $. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 If it's not Willis, it's Terrence McGee. The guy has been phenomenal. The field position we get on kickoffs is insane, and his two INT's in the last two games have been huge. The one against the Dolphins was one of the two biggest plays in the game, IMO. He is also pretty steady in pass coverage and makes tackles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lindell has been $. 477473[/snapback] I think Lindell and Crowell both deserve some kind of "rags to riches" honor, but not MVP. There are only 4 or so players I think you could really argue are the MVP this year: Sam Adams McGahee Clements Maybe McGee and/or Lindell... but I think both have simply played quite well, more than changing the outcome of the game(s). I sure hope to see MCGee earn a nomination by the end of the year. Damn he's exciting when he gets the ball! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 No Doubt about it Willis F'n Mcgahee, with honorable going to Terrence Mcgee, Mcgee is slowly winning me over as a corner. I don't think he'll ever truly be a #1 corner, but he makes plays and You have to stand up and take notice each and every ttime he returns a kickoff.

I don't care if a kicker wins all 16 on last second figgies, kicks every kickoff out of the endzone on the fly, and waxes every car in the parking lot between his maybe 10 plays a game - there's no way they're the friggin' MVP. Point #2: If you're even contemplating that your kicker is your MVP, your team sucks. !@#$ I hate the media generation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seq004 Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 Terrence Mcgee. He's the best in the league at kick returner and I think he's become a better corner than Nate. There I said it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted October 17, 2005 Share Posted October 17, 2005 It has to be McGahee at this point.... 100+ against Houston 32 against TB 140 against Atlanta 100+ against NO 88 tough yards against Miami 140 against NYJ He is the biggest weapon on an avg. team.....They need to give him the ball more when we are in the endzone.
