Mr. T Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I don't know if this has been brought up yet, but there was a play during the Denver game that continues to bother me. It was a 3rd and long (of course) and the Holcomb dumped off a pass (of course) to Mcgahee. Willis takes the pass sees a cornerback coming up on him, with a linebacker close by, and simply runs out of bouinds after a 1 yd gain. Absolutely no attempt to make anything happen! Showed NO heart!! This guy has become a joke over the last 5 or 6 weeks!!!
Stussy109 Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Guy plays as an individual, not as a team mate
Mark VI Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 The " !@#$ this, I'm cold " play? The boos came down loud and long for that one. Runs sideways directly to the sidelines without any Bronco around him for a 2 yard gain and waves a guy to put a coat over him immediately. Let's give him a big contract !
Toledo Bill Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Another example of lack of respect for the coaching staff. They are "playing hard" for MM... yeah, sure...

It might have been soft for him to run out of bounds, but probably smart under the circumstances.

30dive Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I was a 3rd and 24 and it looked more like a 4 yard out pass. Yes Mcgahee ran out of bounds before being hit (weak) but as usual he had zero blockers up front. Where have you ever seen a "screen" pass without a least a lead runner in front, or at least one pulling lineman in front? Yes Mcgahee choice to go out of bounds was weak but this was either a blocking breakdown, or a horribly drawn up play called at the absolute worst time. I know that would be shocking!
Simon Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Or maybe the Broncs had dropped 8-9 guys again and there was just nowhere to go downfield so Holcomb checked down to a safe dump-off to give Moorman a chance to pin Denver instead of risking a turnover.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 I like that positive way of thinking! 536599[/snapback] Even if it is totally deluded.
Simon Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Even if it is totally deluded. 536608[/snapback] Yeah because I'm just so fu(king stupid and delusional that anything I say couldn't possibly be accurate. I guess I'd be better off repeatedly screaming about how glad I am the Bills lost.

30dive Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 This is unfortunatly true. From my seat all I saw was Holcomb telgraphing his passes, when a near drunk fan in the stands knows where the pass is going before the QB sets up, I am quite sure the defense knows too!
cåblelady Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 He's been running like a girl all year. 536562[/snapback] Hey!
Ray Posted December 19, 2005 Posted December 19, 2005 Would not mind at all trading him for a high pick if it could be done. Also would give lionel Gates a shot at the back-up role with two games left. The kid is a good runner. I don't know if his blitz pick-up and passing skills stink, but I really thought he would be the back-up this year. I like Willis, but lately it strikes me as a lack of motivation. He has been thinkinbg of going back to South Beach since the temp dipped below 50 in lateOctober.

At that point what is there to lose? Really.
