Bill from NYC Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Should we start the kid (who looked good), or go with Gump and allow him to lose us another game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsGuyInMalta Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 *gasp* how dare you...you should know that we cant do ANYTHING to harm Bledsoe or Henry's fragile psyche. Shame on you for actually wanting to win. Its better to be "nice". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I'll go with McGahee. He adds better pass protection and another recieving threat. Might be time to unload Henry soon if the price is right. I don't care what the players think, we need to make a move. I like Euhas getting more playing time. He looks smooth.

34-78-83 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Perspective fellas. McGahee made the pass protection assignment error that gave up the sack to Vilma (free run to the QB), and Henry made one error by dropping an easy pass over the middle. The slate was even in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorCal Aaron Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 It was McGahee who provided Vilma with the yellow brick road to Bledsoe. Like Travis, he's only human, of flesh and blood he's made. And Travis sux. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indy Dave Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 OK...I'll bite. I'll try and have a civil conversation with you about our running back situation. Who should start next week? Travis. He should start. He did nothing to lose his starting job today. But I liked the balance today between using the two guys, and I think there's a way to make that work. Willis finally got some carries, and we finally used him in short-yardage situations (twice, I believe), and guess what? It worked. Martin, who is an early-season MVP candidate, was held to 77 yards on 22 carries. Travis and Willis had 75 yards on 20 carries. I'll say it again...our running backs our not our problem. Maybe you can address another topic, Bill? If you think Willis wasn't involved enough, how do you feel about Lee Evans? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 True but looking at the big picture it's McGahee time. We need a 1st round pick next year very bad. The thing is, could we even get one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JStranger76 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 I would like to add that I am a Travis Henry fan. The guy has guts. Like I said though, I have to look at the big picture. The only thing keeping me from making a trade right now is a proven back up/complimentary RB to play behind McGahee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyghtewynd Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 The season's over, Henry will not be here next year, and Willis will. He should start the rest of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlamnSam Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 Dallas needs a running back and we owe them a first rounder. I say dump Travis I'm washed up already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This afforded the jests extra time for the field goal. Yes or no? MaGahee can block. He has not yet missed a flight, nor been caught having sex with a 15 year old. Civil conversation? Thank you.

I say dump Travis I'm washed up already. 64092[/snapback] So you say Travis is washed up, yet Dallas should trade their first-round pick (which right now would be the #1 or 2 pick in the draft) to us in exchange for TH. Oh, and Dallas signed Eddie George in free agency and spent two top-four picks on running backs in the 2004 draft. OK...maybe the Cowboys will thrown in Roy Williams while they're at it.

Please join me in the thread I am about to start about travis Gump. 64102[/snapback] Yes, Travis should have caught that pass. Once again, he didn't play a perfect game. Name someone who did. You can't assume that he would have got the first down. It was third and 18, so there was little (as in none) chance of keeping the drive alive. Yes, the clock would have kept running, but the Jets moved into field position with plenty of time left, and let the clock the run down to kick the field goal. In fact, their fans booed them for it. They were at the Bills' 29-yard line with 41 seconds left. If Travis caught the ball, 18 seconds would have ticked off the clock (until the two-minute warning arrived). You do the math. They still would have had plenty of time to kick the field goal. You also can't blame him for the defense giving up the field goal at the end of the half, or the field goal at the end of the game, although I'm sure you will.

Ok, I admit he didn't have a great game like he usually does against the Jests and his blitz pickups are a joke but he didn't lose us this game, troll! :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: The defense for the second straight week let us down big time! There is your culprit. The 1st two weeks the D played like All-Pro giving up only 13 points both times. That would be more than enough for any other team to win! Jackass! Buy a clue and get a grip, please. Your idiocy is obviously so blatant now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please join me in the thread I am about to start about travis Gump. 64102[/snapback] Just got home from the game...... Henry's dropped pass was on a 3rd and long play...He wouldnt of got the 1st down....and made know difference in the Jets socring at the half.... Mcgahee seems to be a better blocker but he did whiff on Vilma, allowing a sack in the 4th.... I like the way they used both of dem today and thats the way we need to use dem for the rest of the season... BTW Mcgahee big run was set up by having dem both in the backfield....I wanna see alot more of that...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
