    Defensively, I'm calling out our DE's and their anemic pass rush

    Injuries suck but it's part of life in the NFL and every team deals with them and the good teams find a way to let the suds rise to the top. Well our suds haven't risen to the top yet so that means we are FLAT!

    Schobel was a lame duck before the injury. At least this just gave him an excuse. I'm very disappointed in the team's decision to cough up serious cash for his extension and also for donating big bucks to the Chris Kelsay Offseason January Golf Excursions. It's sad when Ryan Denney and Copeland Bryan have outperformed both of our starters who are sucking hind tit!

    If this isn't one of our first two offseason priorities this year I'm going to slug a bottle of Crown Royal in an attempt to die from alcohol poisoning. It doen's matter how front loaded their contracts are/were I don't see us unloading dead weight or trading them to another team who will pay their salaries.

    So what do you do when you have overpaid a mediocre player or one that is passed his prime? Ask Al Davis I guess...
    Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

    Dont blame them. They just arent talented football players. Denney and Kelsay are what they are. Im willing to bet 1 or both are gone next year.

      Maybe we should draft 5 DEs.

        I think we need at least 2 in the next draft. One high pick and one project/diamond.

          That's not a bad idea. The way the Bills draft they might be able to find one out of those five that could actually play.
          I hear the Sunbelt has plenty of d-ends they would be interested in.

            IMO, Kelsay is a piece to the puzzle but Denney isn't worth having around. Kelsay could make a very big contribution as a rotational player.

              Maybe we should have used our 1st rounder on a DE last rather than a kick returner.

                Good idea, then we can find out who are the good ones by the ones we cut who then go on to be successful starters on other teams.

                  Kelsay unfortunately is paid too much to be rotational...like Schobel.

                  When is it that the ball will boune both ways and if these players perform poorly one year the owner gets money back? Case in point, imagine if we conceeded and paid Peters the mother load he was looking for?
                  Where else would you rather be than right here right now?

                    Kelsay gets 50-60 snaps a game and does NOTHING with any of them. What piece of the puzzle is he exactly?

                    Kelsay is taking up valuable cap space get rid of him and let Bryan and Ellis do more than he does for a fraction of the cost.

                      You too

                      I beleive the majority of us have been as well. Anyone here have a chemistry set and think they can clone Bruce Smith in his prime....

                        Sure he does. He is the first to raise his fist and celebrate after someone else makes a play.

                          Hell, BS could come out of retirement right now and play better than these cream puffs!
