5 Positives in the Loss

by labill on Oct 12, 2009 2:38 PM EDT

Well, I said last week that in every loss, I would try to come up with 5 legitimate (non-joking) positives to hang on to. This week is going to be pretty hard, just like every loss.

1. Jarius Byrd is all over the place. He is a perfect FS. Even putting aside the INT (should have been the game changing, winning play), he seemed to be in on a lot of plays.

2. Keith Ellison deserves apologies from his doubters. He has been very dependable, and often the last line of defense that, if not for him, would result in a big offensive play by the opponent.

3. Terrence McGee is a legit top corner. He proves that every week. That was a great extension signing -- I questioned it at first because of our overload in young, talented CBs, but I was wrong.

4. Brian Moorman. Boy, I hate that he is alway in the top 5. That's not good.

5. Drayton Florence. Had to go over the list of players and tagged him over McIntyre (!). I like Florence -- I think he does a better job than McKelvin. He seems to be good in coverage and in run support.

Just another great fan opinion shared on the pages of BuffaloRumblings.com.

Ellison sucks

You’d think Nic Harris would get a shot after all these injuries, but no

Dude.

Harris will probably have his turn soon, maybe too soon. Ellison definitely has been playing well enough to not deserve your frank assessment.

Thanks for the positives, labill. I know that was not easy.

Sweet home Orchard Park.

Ellison is third in the league in tackles. I wish more of our team sucked like he does.

Or

The opposing offenses have rushed the ball 166 times (3rd most in the league), for 773 yards (3rd) at 4.7 ypc (6th). I’m guessing that has a lot to do with it.

Just because the rest of our LB’s suck, doesn’t mean Ellison is any good.

He certainly doesn’t suck, however. If one sucks wouldn’t he have not made those tackles?

I like Byrd

I’m from Oregon, so I’ve seen him make a lot of plays. We have some decent building blocks – Wood, Lynch/Jackson, Evans, Maybin, Poz, Byrd, McGee… but need LEADERSHIP. Hope this ugly loss puts the pressure on to can Jauron. Someone with a little passion, toughness and not so politically correct. Singletary vs. Nolan kind of thing.

We need a QB

And some tackles
