BADOLBILZ Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 and for the 2nd consecutive year, ol Chaz will be sound asleep. 483758[/snapback] I haven't missed a Bills game in person or live tv since the 1980's, but I'm not watching this game. I don't get too down after losses, but there just isn't a good reason to waste 3 hours on a guaranteed beat down when the team doesn't have significant emerging talent in development to watch. Tim Anderson is the biggest problem on defense(honorable mention to Crowell), but there are a lot of old cadavers out there too, and no good young depth to step in and put them out of our misery. Posey, Fletcher, Milloy and Vincent just aren't up to the task. The good young defenders the Bills have are edge/finesse players(McGee/Clements/Schobel/Kelsay) who need a physical interior defense to make them look good. On the road that young talent is handcuffed. On offense, they can feed Moulds/Evans/Reed/FF Smith/Parrish short passes for the next 9 games and eek out a few home wins if they wish, but this team won't be playoff bound if Holcomb is starting next year or if Losman is starting but doesn't get his reps now. They need some line help and badly need a big target to provide the erratic Losman some margin for error and attract the safeties to the center of the field and open up opportunities for Evans deep. IMO, Everett, Campbell and Euhus ain't the guys for the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's going to be a player if he recovers from the injury.agree about Campbell and Euhus 484031[/snapback] I'm a 'Canes fan, watched a lot of Everett, he is a workout warrior but not very instinctive or athletic and was not at all good in the passing game. Good TE's seem to have an innate ability to find the soft spots in zone coverage, never saw that out of Everett. I hope I'm wrong but the league is loaded with TE's who come into the league with raw talent and not a lot of experience in the passing game, and most turn out to be grunts like Jason Dunn.

Coach Tuesday Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 I am tempted to bet my life savings on the Pats covering the spread... we may NEVER get another chance like this one... (until next year.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are crazy. Have you SEEN the Pats' defense this year? I'm not saying the Bills will win, but don't dismiss it outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying the Bills will win, but don't dismiss it outright. 484158[/snapback] Something tells me the Pats will use this game as an opportunity to get back on track. Giving Belichick two weeks to prepare is not a comforting thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We appreciate the faux pessimism and patronizing, but this game has all the makings of a bloodbath. With apologies to Shannon Sharpe, someone get FEMA on the line and get the relief trucks headed north. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talonz Posted October 24, 2005 Share Posted October 24, 2005 Does anyone know the Bills record for the last 10 or so years when they play at night/primetime? I think they have lost every one???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(until next year.) 484123[/snapback] Be careful on this game. That line at 8 seems fishy to me. I would think the Pats, coming off the bye, with the way the Bills have played on the road would be at least double digit favorites. Fishy lines are usually fishy for a reason. I know one that smelled in college ball this week was UVA-NC as a pick em. Didn't exactly load up, but hit a nice one there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
