More Toronto games? I know they sell out, but I go to a Pats game there every couple of years and never have any problem getting good seats at face value.
toronto dosent sell out because its not the maple leafs, and the bills arent a winner. the only people who really go are fans of the other team, football fans in general, or bored people w/ too much money. no one wants to spend $250 bucks per ticket to see a shitshow in a dump.
I have no complaints about him this week. He gave it all he had and played to his potential with 2 OL starters, Donald Jones and Freddy out. Thought he had good pocket presence and escaped out of trouble several times, Didn't really throw any erratic passes.
I'm not gonna hold that against him, that was a deep 40 yard+ throw he tried to laser in there. Offense should have never been behind on that last drive anyway. George Edwards sucks worse at DC then Schotty does at OC.
Interesting tidbit: the Bills signed Fitzpatrick to the extension on 10/28. In the 7 games this year through 10/30 he was 155/229 (67.7%) for 1739 yards (7.6 yards per attempt), with 14 TDs and 7 INTs, for a pass rating of 97.8, and the team was 5-2. In the six games since then he is 123/220 (55.9%) for 1274 yards (5.8 yards per attempt), with 6 TDs and 9 INTs, for a passer rating of 64.8, and the team is 0-6.
That is what you call the wheels coming off. I had a very bad feeling the good times wouldn't last. Damn, it's like 2008 all over again.....
pretty amazing how fast the drop off was after the new contract. Some players have the decency to wait until the next season to stop performing.
Can't put the entire blame on him. We lost 3 starters on the 0-line for the season pretty much. Lost Parrish in week 3, lost Donald Jones a few weeks ago, lost Easley before teh season, lost Freddie a few weeks ago. With all those injuries we easily have the worst offense in the league. I'm now rooting to lose out and draft Barkley.
It's not going to happen so it doesn't matter, but Barkley to Buffalo is a HORRIBLE idea. It is a terrible fit. You really think he's going to succeed in cold-ass Buffalo having to be THE man with that O LINE? It has BUST written all over it and the Bills will have to restart this pathetic mess over again. Bills gave Fitz the contract too early, should have given that money to Jackson, but they need to stick with Fitz and build an actual team around him and Jackson. You should really be hoping they get a big-play Corner or LB.. If the Bills get healthy, make a few smart signings on the OFFENSIVE LINE and maybe a smart tough veteran WR doesn't have to be an expensive world beater, and add a High-impact defensive player in the draft.. they could be dangerous. Fitz will come around. I also think they should cut ties with Spiller, whether that means cutting him or worrying less about playing him. Also they should build a BIG O-line and not so much an athletic line. A HUGE line with Jackson in a zone-running scheme would be deadly. having said that I hope they do none of this, draft and mortgage their future on Barkley, anoint him savior and then when he turns out sh*tty because of the circumstances, WNY will cry and call him a bum.
Well I think your underating our Offensive line a bit. Bell, Wood, and Levitre are all very good. But yes we do need upgrades at RG and RT. Wood and Levitre were playing prowbowl caliber before their injuries. But your right, this team needs a playmaker at LB mroe then anybody. Watching us try to rush the QB is stressful!! Franchise QB is at the top of my list though then depending on where we are drafting I would like an impact WR like Blackmon or Jeffrey or a LB like Zach Brown if were picking past the 10the pick.
Has a qb dropped off anymore after signing a contract??? At least the bills go back towards irrelevance again
Updated post-October stats for Fitzy: 154/267 (57.7%) for 1590 yards (6.0 YPA), with 8 TDs and 12 INTs, for a passer rating of 66.2, and the team is 0-7.
