PromoTheRobot Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Seeing Mike Gandy going to the Super Bowl makes has me shaking my head. I mean this guy was a turnstile with the Bills. But then the NFL is full of players that were dreadful in Buffalo, guys we cut, now excelling on new teams. Pretty obvious the players aren't our problem. PTR
BillsObserver Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Gandy certainly didn't excel today. Yeah, Gandy looked like his old self today.

PTR with the exception of Leonhard who exactly is thriving? McGahee has been average at best since he went to Baltimore
rackemrack Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 with the exception of Leonhard who exactly is thriving? McGahee has been average at best since he went to Baltimore no, mcgahee still sucks... just think if JP losman makes the playoffs somewhere as a starting QB, then I'll be pissed at our lame ass coaches.
Lurker Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I mean this guy was a turnstile with the Bills. He's still a turnstile. He almost got Warner killed today...
Max997 Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 i wouldnt say McGahee sucks but he certainly isnt thriving
DanInSouthBuffalo Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 i wouldnt say McGahee sucks but he certainly isnt thriving I have to give him credit for a pretty gutsy performance today vs. Steelers. Plus, I never saw him pick up the blitz for the Bills like he does for the Ravens.
/dev/null Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 just think if JP losman makes the playoffs somewhere as a starting QB, then I'll be pissed at our lame ass coaches. Even if it's with the Peoria Pirates or Erie RiverRats?
silvermike Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 I think Baltimore definitely has gotten more guts from McGahee than he was giving to the Bills. I think that one might rest on the coaches, but it might be the fact that McGahee is a huge jerk. Still though, he was an average-to-okay RB for the Bills and he's still basically one for the Ravens. Jimmy Leonard is playing hard, but I believe he's an injury fill in, not a starter. He and Bannan are fill ins, and while they're playing well, they're on an excellent defense, and the raw talent there gives them more chances to make plays. Gandy, on the other hand, seems like a real averagenaut even on the Cardinals. He got blown up today, and is it possible Warner's a lefty? Levi Brown is a great tackle, and he's on the other side.

PTR I bet you were saying the same thing, when Antwaan Smith won 2 super bowls with the patriots? Honestly who cares, if former bills players, were in the playoffs this year?

Honestly who cares, if former bills players, were in the playoffs this year? We litter the NFL with castoffs that we couldn't coach every year, that's a mortal lock. Blame the head of the snake with the venom for the kill, not the tail.
/dev/null Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 We litter the NFL with castoffs that we couldn't coach every year, that's a mortal lock. Face it folks, we're the NFL's version of the Montreal Expos
SKOOBY Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Face it folks, we're the NFL's version of the Montreal Expos With less prostitutes around town.
silvermike Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Face it folks, we're the NFL's version of the Montreal Expos Kinda. IN some ways, it's almost the opposite. The Big Money players that leave the team - Nate Clements, Willis McGahee - go on to have fairly run-of-the-mill careers with other teams. It's just the guys we run out of town or cut in disgrace that seem to catch on. Lord knows we could afford Bannan and Leonard.

I bet you put Palamalu on the Bills - he looks like Whitner (on his best of day of course and in bad need of a haircut...). yeah, we are not in a system long enough to have stability and get "fits" for the system. the chinese say deviating an inch loses you a thousand miles. with all of our changes over the past ten years why should we expect any more than what we have?
spartacus Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Face it folks, we're the NFL's version of the Montreal Expos why wouldn't we be? after the brain trust for the Expos bought the Marlins, we got their head of marketing to run our football team

But then the NFL is full of players that were dreadful in Buffalo, guys we cut, now excelling on new teams. Pretty obvious the players aren't our problem. PTR Some players are a problem, but coaching is the bigger problem. The players didn't screw up the time clock or call bone headed plays. I've been repeating for years that there's not a big difference between the mid level players in the NFL. If you agree with that statement, then coaching plays a very pivotal part. We have seen "average" players excel and "good" players play well under par in different systems and with different coaches. Would anyone expect a badly managed company to excel, even with "good" employees?
jonramz Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 with the exception of pat williams and Antoine Winfield, I think the Bills have done a pretty good job of identifying the guys to keep and the guys to dump
