  1.  

    There is another thread where TT said, I believe just after the game or the next day, that the pass was meant for Sammy. Not sure why he'd say that and then change it to Harvin.

    Unless at that time he was talking about a different interception.. I just listened to it again to make sure I heard him correctly and he clearly stated it was to Percy.

  2.  

    The WR standing behind Sammy is Woods, and Tyrod has now said twice, publicly, that the throw was to Sammy. Thank goodness it was, because if you watch the All-22, Woods was not open. It only looked that way because the CB and Cover-1 safety both leave their responsibility once the ball is thrown.

    No it was Harvin, I'm not sure if we're talking about the same play. I'm talking about the last interception in which you can clearly see Harvin coming across. Tyrod said last night it was harvin he was throwing to, I think you're talking about the Clay interception that was to woods standing behind him wide open..

  3. Just watched the all pro 22 and game replay. The first and last interception's were actually not even going to the receivers who tipped the balls. The first one that Clay tipped as it appeared to be thrown high was actually going to Woods who was about 7 yards behind Clay wide open sitting in a "hole". He throws his hands up at Clay as to say "Hey that was going to me". On the last one that Sammy tipped which again appeared to be too high was actually going to Harven coming across with his man beat. Tyrod noted in his press conference that it was to Harvin and not Sammy. If that is what was happening then it should be something correctable, and not having 2 receivers in the same area would help..!

  4. 2 of the 3 interceptions Tyrod threw were actually not his fault after watching the replay. On this one towards the end it shows Tyrod throwing the ball and Clay jumping up as it appeared to be a high throw and Clay tipped it that lead to an interception. Standing behind Clay was Robert Woods wide open and throws his hands up like "hey that was to me man"... Same with the last interception that Sammy tipped as it appeared to be too high, Tyrod in his press conference said it was actually to Harvin who was coming across with his man beat... This seems more of a scheme problem having 2 men in the same area...

  5. I still can't figure it out!

    Sat in my chair, same Watkins Jersey. Wife daughter and son in their spots. Had my same drink. Hung the Bills flags. Had my yellow ref flag and red challenge flags in my pockets.

    Clearly you were un-aware the yellow flags were falling out of your pocket. I blame the penalties, and the loss solely on your inability to keep your flags in your pockets.!

  6. If we're talking about a 5-11 season for a team that beat Indy and lost to the super bowl champs by 8 (we killed ourselves in this game) then Miami must be talking about a 1-15 season after loosing to Jacksonville..! Lets wait until week 4 or 5 before we write the team out of the playoffs please... Geesh... Yes they looked like crap yesterday but it was due to penalties more than anything... Stay the course Bills fans, Believe...!!!!!!

  7. it's not funny at all, he was pretty bad his first couple years. But that goes along with the whole "give him time" argument. Leo's problem early on was that he would always try for the interception, which he whiffed on the majority of the time. It was so frustrating watching him leap with both hands up and having the ball sail through his fingers! The past couple seasons he has learned to just knock the ball down or deflect it and he's become a very good CB...

    I thought it was funny, but maybe I just knew he was better than people gave him credit for.

  8. There are several lessons from Darby's struggles in his first three outings

     

    1. Darby has some definite failings in his play that the coaches will have to cover for and that Darby will need to work on to become a solid vet. These problems are not surprising for a rookie nor fatal if he has good teammates and coaches. Darby cannot be left on an island against a good receiver and a good QB. The coaches will need to have Gilmore and it is to be hoped a recovered McKelvin take on the opponents top 2 WRs. If McKelvin is injured, the Bills will need to use double-teams or if both are hurt move safety Graham back to CB from safety.

     

    Darby cannot be counted upon to cover a top WR on an island on his own, but I have no problem having him covering the slot or the opponents #3.

     

    2. This is true because Darby has some positives about his game as seen by his 2 INTS. He can have good ball awareness as shown by some good coverage by him in preseason practice.

     

    However, when thrown to the wolves in preseason games.

     

    Darby can be covered for as he learns to become a vet, but it is clear that though he was our first choice he is not a 1st round talent. A solid starter quality eventually but not an immediate shut down starter.

     

    I wouldn't be surprised if Rex pulls something out of the hat for this game to catch Indy off guard regarding Darby. He may just infant move Darby to the slot and Graham to corner for the high powered pass game of Indy. Darby is the weak link in this game against Hilton and Luck, and even giving him help over top isn't going to help Darby on the shorter passes and out routes. Not to mention the over the top help opens up 1/4 of the field on the back end if the safety has to assist Darby. It's obvious Luck is going to test Darby early and often and the coaches for Indy will be looking to see how that effects the rest of the field if we're helping Darby over the top. For every adjustment we make Indy can make one too, this is why I'm thinking Rex will have something in store for Indy as a "surprise" that will at least catch them off guard for the first quarter. Then hopefully make good half time adjustments.

  9. There is much to be excited about and much to be concerned about. My concerns are Carpenter missing field goals/extra points, penalties, Darby and the health of McCoy, Watkins, Harvin, Woods, Gilmore and our up and coming young RB Williams even though he's a limited touch back. I'm also concerned about all the pass interference calls regardless of leaving the corner backs on an island there is no need for that and we had a bunch last year so things didn't improve there, they've got to get their heads around. Funny how a bunch of people hated McKelvin and wanted him gone, but now wish he were back. McKelvin is a very good corner, gets limited penalties and is always in a good position, he just needs to make better plays on the ball which he improved on last year. Him and Marcel being out this opening game is really going to hurt us.

     

    The things I'm excited about is our new offense. The offensive line seems to be much improved giving the QB's time and opening lanes in the running game. Tyrod seems to create plays when needed and sit in the pocket when needed. We should be putting up 3 touchdowns a game at a Min. I could see us putting up 24- 30 points against Indy but who knows if that will be enough.

  10. I think Roman should make the call after talking to his main receivers . It would be bad to have receivers sulking and quitting on routes if they are unhappy with the QB.

    What if the OC and Rex want Cassel, but the WR's want Tyrod? I think the coaches will leave the players out of it.. I'm sure as one poster noted, it's Roman's offense and his call, but Rex has the power to veto it.

  11. Well it's clear that EJ is out of the running, anyone that says otherwise is fooling themselves. It's between Matt and Tyrod, both have looked good in their limited play. Matt should start the Steelers game and get a good first half of work, and Tyrod the second half. After that game the coaches will know who's going to start. If I were a betting man I'd say they wanted Matt to start since he's a vet and the safe choice to manage the ball, but it appears Tyrod is making the decision difficult. If the season started today I'd go with Matt (the safe choice) and have him control the game, but we have 2 weeks left and tyrod sure is making some plays... Lets see what kind of scoring drives Matt can manufacture next week before we start writing either of them off.. IMO..

  12. Dear Lord..... I seen the same post last year about Jeff Tuel.... Just say'en... The guy played 1qtr! Lets all relax, breath, and let it all play out, not one single QB on our roster is going to be the next Manning, Wilson, Vick, Brady , Rodgers, or anything close to those.. Hopefully 1 of them can just manage the game and make some plays here and there.. Everyone thought Tuel was the next franchise QB last year after 1qtr of preseason games..
