PromoTheRobot Posted January 19, 2009 Share 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.

DanInSouthBuffalo Posted January 19, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silvermike Posted January 19, 2009 Share 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.

silvermike Posted January 19, 2009 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonramz Posted January 20, 2009 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
