I'm the biggest homer there is. I picked the Bills to win 10. I liked the Marrone hire. I still think EJ can be good. However, when you have started three consecutive drives with a run don't you need to start a drive with play action?
I don't want to argue with other Bills fans after a win. You guys are right Hackett is the second coming of Bill Walsh. Running on every first down is genius, play action is over rated.
Only because the Jets offence is so incredibly inept, not because the Bills offense is so awesome.
All those three and outs don't provide a lot of opportunity for turnovers.
You should have tried a couple of more cliches in that last sentence. They were "working on the run game" when they were only up by seven. Did you like the last drive of the first half? You know the drive that gave the Jets a field goal. The reason the Jets were still in it through the third quarter is Hackett's play calling. The Jets defensive weakness is their secondary. You have to exploit that, not avoid it. Woods and Watkins were "college open" on some of those catches. You don't go away from what's working until they stop you.
I love the kid, I think the trade was a great move. When they picked him I jumped up and down a number of times. Sammy should be all over the highlights this week, but now it will be for the wrong reason. I doubt he'll ever do it again.
I'm sorry but when you get turn overs on the other teams side of the field, when their streghth is D-line and weakness is their secondary, you have to take a shot. Maybe just once.
