Albany,n.y. Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 TE-we have no TE who should be playing in the NFL as anything other than a 3rd TE on any roster. Royal could be a #2, but not on a team that wants to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalonian-at-Heart Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 It's DE and it's not close. Schobel isn't even a good DE. Ever since he dropped almost 25 lbs from 3 season's ago, he can't even put up irrelevant sacks anymore. He never was a game changer even when his sack total was in the double digits. For those of you who think we got just as incompetent and ineffective play out of Edwards have gone plain mad, he played pretty good for a second year guy. Especially considering the coaching staff and a below average receiving core. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCbillsfan Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Sorry fellas but you are all right. The entire team is a weakness - owner, head coach, and the various positions that were named. This team is so weak that the strength of the team is the fans! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 QB is the MOST IMPORTANT position on a football team. The Bills have a THIRD YEAR vet that has not proven anything but the fact he can't stay healthy, & the Chroise at that position. I will grant you the Bills are weak at a NUMBER of positions & the coaching SUCKS, but QB has to be the weakest because it is the most important position. Did you feel this way when Lossman was here?

This team is so weak that the strength of the team is the fans! I will 2nd, 3rd and 4th that statement right there!!! I have fully accepted the fact that tailgating will always be the high point of the day. At least they can't take that away from me (yet) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yard Monkey Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Game changing receiving target(s) - TE &/or WR. The offense is one of the worst in the league. QB, OC & QB coach need to step up this year. Running game looks pretty strong, but not dominant (yet?). Our defense is at least decent (though nowhere near championship caliber).

billsfreak Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Since coaching isn't really a position (neither is ownership), I would have to say center. As the quarterback of the Offensive Line, I saw too many penalties on the center, not knowing the snap count, not knowing if the QB was up behind him or in the shotgun-all unexcuseable.

Heels20X6 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Head Coach A good coach is suppose to do things that put his team in a position to win. The Bills have a coach whose decisions directly contribute to losses over and over again. Winning in the NFL is hard. That's why you need a coach who knows what the hell he is doing. Testify! The scouts could give Jauron the reincarnation of the '85 Bears and he'd still get them to 7-9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magox Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 DE, TE and C in that order is our weakness RB, DB, QB are our strengths in no particular order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKOOBY Posted February 4, 2009 Author Share Posted February 4, 2009 I am of the mindset that we are a true #1 WR from having a threatening offense. Watch the tape on Fitzgerald when he caught the SB TD ball and where the steelers D was, it wasn't even close. Receiving threats have a way of forcing Defenses to make adjustments and leave someone else open. When the steelers smothered Fitz, edge - Breaston - Bolding all got passes. As soon as the steelers took the focus off Fitz, they got toasted. True # 1 no guessing WR and we are in the playoffs (with a good draft as well).

bananathumb Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Right. The Bills might as well hang a "gone fishin'" sign on the franchise. Nice metaphorical way of summing up the Bills' lack of competitive ownership and front office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufcomments Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 DE, TE, Center If we can get a pass rush we would be pretty good on Defense If we can upgrade to center and TE positions we would have a sniff at the playoffs But coaching needs to be upgraded also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poeticlaw Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 ???????? Center, I have been saying for the last 9 years the biggest problem on that offense line is the general of that line. We have not gotten one yet. An intelligent center will make this line that much better. Im tired of seeing other teams like the pats have soo much time to pass the ball with out much of a running game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler#81 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Game changing receiving target(s) - TE &/or WR. The offense is one of the worst in the league. QB, OC & QB coach need to step up this year. Running game looks pretty strong, but not dominant (yet?). Our defense is at least decent (though nowhere near championship caliber). I'm in this corner. Specifically a 1, 1A receiver. A viable threat opposite LE keeps 8 out of the box and allows for a better ground game. As for DE, our best guy barely played this year and I wish we'd blitz more. Rare are the teams that generate great rush from just the front 4. I believe that's why new defensive co-ordinators outdid head coaching changes this off-season 2-1. Most every team is going to the 3-4. Not us, mind you, but most teams.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flbillsfan#1 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Did you feel this way when Lossman was here? It depends on what point in time you are talking about. I KNEW JP was a weak link all along, HOWEVER I did see potential there in him with the way he played in 06. I was NOT HAPPY with his play in 07 & the couple games he played in 08 but I don't know how much of that is his fault & how much is the fault of the coaches. As you said yourself the Coaching on this team is AWFUL & that is why I don't see Trent developing & getting better in 09. In 2010 the Bills will most likely bring in a NEW coach & QB.

DrFishfinder Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Bona fide pass rushing DE. We get very little pressure on opposing QB's and there is apparently no one capable of helping Schobel. WR to take the heat and double coverage off Evans. We have very little downfield passing assuming Edwards is capable of throwing downfield. And of course, a coaching staff that doesn't blunder the time clock and games away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
