All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!

Does anybody think contracts are coming into play??

11-28-2005, 09:26 AM

I have to admit that with being away I have missed about 6 games this year...but I have to wonder if incentives in contracts or new possible contracts are coming into play with who plays, when they play and what the play call is.

Ya know McGahee wants new money...Evans looked to be on a pace to break the bank last year...they are not exactly the weapons they were...the more touches they get the more they will want more money. Any opinions?

For all the education and practice each of us undergoes, the achievment of mastery is ultimately the outcome of a personal quest for understanding.

Re: Does anybody think contracts are coming into play??

I would hope not, but Mularkey is TD's yes-man, and if he's coaching to keep McGahee and Evans' numbers down it would explain a lot of the garbage play-calling (especially in McGahee's case).

As far as Evans, though, he's mostly a speedy big play receiver, and our OL doesn't give the QB enough time to throw a long pass. Suggesting that TD messed up the OL to avoid giving Evans a big contract is a huge conspiracy theory.

Sorry, he got the ball 21 times. His first 15 carries were for something like 29 yards.

I don't understand this at all. I understand resting a guy one time or another, but for McGahee to rarely see a 3rd down is Fn ******ed. He is the Bills play maker out there and if they can't get nothing going with him on the run, get him involved in pass plays. Or is his pass blocking that atrocious? This coaching staff has a lot of explaining to do and I'm tired of hearing the same boring cliches.

there is way too much situational substitution...Sape and Jefferson at DT when the Panthers were at the 10?? what were they thinking?

Red zone calls on both sides of the ball are skeptical. I know that last late drive by Carolina had some referee assistance, but had we placed the ball into the endozne at least once yesterday it wouldn't have mattered.
