Ground and Pound

Does Greg Roman know what that means? EJ Manuel should not be throwing the ball more than 20 times. This is not rocket science. Wide open TD to Gragg and he under throws it. Shady looks awesome and after a couple 6 yard gains they throw 5 straight times??????

Geezuz! Wake up! Use our BEST players, not or WORST!

This is so frustrating.

They look beyond terrible. They look like the usual Bills. Season over after this loss. Our only hope is Jacksonville has a complete meltdown.

 

[TKOSpikes]

After all that, to lose because of a phantom PI call is disgusting.

Embarrassing.

 

[johnson]

It was a bad call, but that's not why they lost. That's just one reason on a long list:

1. Not being able to get a yard on the final drive with three shots at it (apparently paying McCoy all that $ didn't dictate he get the ball at some point here)
2. EJ's terrible decisions (the interceptions, the fumble, missing wide open guys all over the place, etc.)
3. Getting out-coached AGAIN (to put this context, the JAX coaching was pretty bad)
4. Stupid penalties (there were less than usual, but still plenty to take note of)

We are just about halfway through the season and this is a team that still looks lost. Some people say Denver has to get their act together a bit, but they are 6-0 and can afford some games to figure it out. At 3-4, in last place, and with tough games coming up, the Bills don't have that luxury.

Another year of being a punchline for the Bills and another "success" (by Pegula terms) for the Sabres year. Same ol' song and dance in Buffalo.

will we quit calling dumb defensive schemes this week

 

[johnson]

I haven't heard Rex say otherwise. Fully expect the 3-4 to be back in full force despite seven weeks of proof that it doesn't work for this team, and recent evidence of what obviously does.

A good head coach makes these adjustments. A bad one refuses to admit they were wrong and stubbornly rides out something the rest of the world sees is not working. Rex's window to be a good coach is in the process of closing...I have little faith he sends it back up.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Not a good record for Rex coming out of the bye either.

No Kyle Williams again.

Despite having Taylor and hopefully Watkins back should help immensely, but I'm still nervous.

 

[TKOSpikes]

That's better!

Squish the fish!

 

[TKOSpikes]

That's better!

Crash the Jets!

Finally played a bad game and won! Karlos is an animal. Shady is hungry. Taylor is careful.

C'mon Rex, get Mario to the QB and let's get these Pats!

 

[johnson]

Escaped with a win! The season was on the line IMO and they pulled it out because the Patriots game is an automatic loss. 4-6 would have been a killer for even the most delusional Bills fans. 5-5 is workable for another week or two at least after that.

Revis completely owned Watkins again. It's embarrassing. Defense came up big more than a few times. Tyrod was uninspiring, but I liked the gameplan...run, run, run.

 

[TKOSpikes]

Wouldn't say Revis owned him. Sammy mis-timed his jump on a bad throw on the first drive. Had him beat. He dropped another short pass that could have turned into a long one. But he beat him to get a first down on the final drive... at least. Gave the Jets 30 seconds instead of two minutes.

Plus, like you said, a proper game plan against the best run defense. Hope we can keep it up. Incognito, say what you will, is awesome and a huge difference on our line... (as is the rookie John Miller).

Just glad to have an injury free game! ...good to see Leodis back!

 

[johnson]

That's true, he was open on that long pass that should have been a completion of Tyrod could complete a pass Thursday more than 3 feet in front of him. But Revis easily won the day as far as their individual battle went.
