Re: Wish we had kept London Fletcher
The Mularkey regime had a lot of enemies. Sadly guys like Fat Pat, Big Sam, London etc...just didn't like playing for the guy and Donablow got no value for anyone.
But man 03-04 we had a great D This is just sad to watch Moats, Ellison (still!), Coleman, Torbor, Kelsay and those bums can't hold a candle to LondonInternet Breeds Complacency.

The guy is still great. He makes plays all over the field. Skins fans love him.
I grossly underrated him and letting him go was a huge mistake.

Originally posted by OpIv37I'm gonna eat some crow on this one because I said the same thing about the tackles all being downfield. But I live in DC and I go to Skins games from time to time, so I've seen a LOT of Fletcher since he's left Buffalo.

Re: Wish we had kept London Fletcher
Despite our chance of going winless this season,that ship had sailed.
London became a drag down tackler after the RB had already gained 6-8 yards. He avoided sticking his grill in the hole at all costs and was easy to block.
I never got caught up in his tackling stats. Good guy but it's just another clear case of the Bills failing to replace him with someone of quality.Anonymity is an abused privilege, abused most by people who mistake vitriol for wisdom and cynicism for wit

Wha?? Me thinks you are confusing Fletcher with one of our current LBs. Fletcher consistantly leads the skins in tackles made and he is a run stuffing machine.

Re: Wish we had kept London Fletcher
I was always a Fletcher fan... I have no idea why some of you couldnt see how solid he was.I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

Remember, when we was here, our D had Pat Williams, Sam Adams, pre-injury Spikes, Nate Clements, Troy Vincent, Lawyer Milloy, etc.
