Buffalo Bills Followers??

Hey guys, I have to do an interview tommarow with a Buffalo Bills reporter. Does anyone follow the Bills at all that could help think of some good questions to ask. Here's what I have so far....any help would be much appreciated, I just dont watch them very much.


The Bills sit right now at 3-4, traveling to New England this Sunday. Now looking all the way back to last off season, its easy to second guess now, but was getting rid of Drew Bledsoe the right decision?

Now subsequently the same question could be asked right now, all off season JP Losman was supposed to be the guy, he struggled a bit and Kelly Holcomb came in and performed well. Do you think sitting Losman was a good move?

At what point, if any, do you think the Bills go back to JP Losman?

Now defensively, this was a unit that was supposed to be the backbone to the team, and thus far they seemed to have fallen off a little bit from last year, do you think that could be attributed to aging, or is there something else there?

Now despite coming off a bye, New England’s injury report is very long. Do the Bills have a chance to win this weekend, and if so, what types of things will they need to do to beat this Patriots team?

hmm. One thing i do know is that last year Buffalo finished second overall in total defense. I think that their run defense last year was top five. This year, their run defense has really suffered, and it's in the bottom 5 in the league. What happened to their run defense from last year to this year?

Losing Takeo Spikes hit them hard. Their Defense is not the same without him and that is the fault of coaching.

No one is going to look good behind that O-Line. They need to give their QB's a chance. Plus, Losman is still really, really, green. Look for him when the Bills are all but eliminated from the playoffs. (playoffs??!??!! PLAYOFFS!!??!?!)

Their rb is top shelf. McGahee is a top level RB.

They won't go far until they fix that oline. Mularkey is getting a lot of heat from the local media and fans.

they jeered GW for taking an injured mcgahee in the first round, looks like they're not so pissed about it now though...

you shouldn't start every question off with now btw, it makes it annoying ;)

Thanks dudes!

Lets not forget dt pat williams left via free agency last year which has really hurt their ability to stop the running game.

Typically during coaching changes, there is also an emphasis change. A defensive minded head coach is replaced by an offensive minded head coach. This happened in Buffalo, and (with more spectacular results) in Tamp Bay a few years ago. Since there is more history in Tampa, let's examine the results:

Last year under Dungy: Great defense, predictable offense.
First year under Gruden: Still great defense, much better offense (Super Bowl champions).
Second year under Gruden (Deteriorating defense - since the "mastermind" has left, the lessons are being forgotten, good offense.
Third year under Gruden: Roster reshaped to suit coach's liking.

Often (and especially with defense) there is a momentum that carries through seasons. Buffalo's defense, despite not having GW there to direct it, knew the system enough that they could manage the scheme. As vital parts are lost to free agency and injury, there are fewer players with that knowledge, and the memory of the lessons fades in those that remain.

That's why the NFL is, and always will be, a coach's league.
