truth on hold Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I posted this in a different thread (subsequently deleted,) but I think it's worthy of its own. It's in response to Chris Carter's statement on ESPN today that "to a man, Pats are better than Bills up and down their starting line-ups." ------------------- QB = ill take Edwards over Cassell, and so would every coach in the league, bellichik included Bills + 1 Oline = i like their interior lineman better, but our tackles more; Pats net 1 Bills even RB = Lynch easily over maroney or any of their other scrubs Bills + 1 TE = Watson over Royal Bills even WR = Moss over Evans, Welker over Reed, Pats +2 Bills - 2 Dline = I'll give this to Pats 3 & 1 Bills -4 LBs = I think Bills win 2 & 1 here Bills -3 Secondary = forget rodney harrison Whitner at this stage in their careers is much better. with Samuel gone the rest of our guys are as good or better. So let's say we win 2 and 1 Bills -2 Punter = Bills Bills -1 FG kicker = push Bills -1 Returner = Parrish over anyone they have Bills even I think that's a very fair and balanced assessment that most analysts would agree with. So Carter yapping about pats being better up and down their starting lineups, is nonsense. His football knowledge is just very superficial, so he votes on reputation and past records versus current reality. no one i know ever cites "carter said ...." in support of football analysis.

Fewell733 Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 that's an outrageously stupid thing for anybody that's supposed to be an expert in football to say. here was something Polian said a couple days ago about NFL pregame shows: "Polian also doesn’t think much of the various NFL pregame shows. Speaking regarding some of his observations from the bye week, which gave him a chance to watch football on television, Polian had this to say: “Don’t forget I said earlier that they were the team that no one was talking about but that everybody would be soon. It’s amazing how little tape and how little preparation the people that speak on the pre-game shows really do. That’s shocking when you hear some of the statements that are made, particularly from ex-players. You don’t get an accurate picture in virtually any situation." http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/10/01/...of-vince-young/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunBillsBacker Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 WR = Moss over Evans, Welker over Reed, Pats +2 I don't know if you're giving Evans enough credit. Is Moss really better than him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robkmil Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I don't know if you're giving Evans enough credit. Is Moss really better than him? If Moss plays really hard and is healthy--The answer is a definite yes. not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, Steve Young is the best, and most honest, football analyst on television. Virtually all of them just peddle catch phrases and ride whatever team has hype at the moment.

ganesh Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Chris Carter is a dope and horrible on TV and is made because he looks like Steve Erckel Chris Carter is hanging around on TV to ensure that his media buddies vote him to the Hall and then he will be out of there....something that Andre did not do and will regret for a long time for his call to the Hall.
