The defense (psss especially) couldn't close out games last year after the offense took the lead. They gave up TDs. Browns and Patriots games come to mind
100% He needs to improve his game awareness and take what the defense gives. He needs to balance the ability to make plays vs hero ball. If he improves in that area alone, he will:
* cut his turnovers
* increase his completions
* move the ball with a lot less 3 and outs (which BTW has already decreased)
If you want to win in this league your QB *MUST* take risks. Just have to do it in a balanced way
The defense has to play better too. A lot of time they couldn't stop the opposing team from scoring afater we took the lead....Cleveland, Baltimore and the game at NE and the playoffs against Houston are good examples...We would have otherwise been 8-0 on the road last season and won a playoff game on the road.
The lack of pass rush definitely hurt the Bills in critical junction.
Agreed. I thought the Bills should have taken Dobbns in Rd 2 when he was available. However, their patience paid off. Moss is probably the most underrated RB in this draft and glad we got him. He doesn't have to do it all by himself...Singletary will still be that lead back...But when we are in the 4th quarter with a 3 point lead, this guy will be like a sledge hammer, iin killing the clock.
Looks like it. As someone else posted...he is coming with the Fred Jackson attitude...but with a lot more talent... Go Bills.
Considering that they are not having minicamps, off season meetings, and possibly a restricted training camp, it is going to be hard for these guys to come in and replace NFL starters on day 1, unless one of the starters go down in TC.
I am assuming the same schedule is tough for the rest of the AFC East. You have to win the division this team and get that bye and a home playoff game.
Anything else will be a failure. We simply didn't have enough oomph last year to win on the road in the playoffs in spite of having a 6-2 away record during the regular season
Diggs, Brown, Beasley
Knox, Kroft
Singletary, Moss
That is a pretty strong Offense. Can the OL provide the time for Josh to make those throws. We could be the next KC offense.
That is why having two young workhorse RBs on Rookie Contracts is AWESOME for the Buffalo Bills.
He did have Mental issues that was hard to overcome and did not get much help from the Bills or its fans
I wish they had taken a flier on Colby Parkinson from Stanford in the 4th round. He was team captain,
Here is what ESPN had to say about Colby:
Pre-Draft Analysis
Parkinson is a team captain and big target with a wide catching radius. He makes tough catches over the middle, and Stanford took advantage of his ability to win 50-50 balls by isolating him out wide. Parkinson is fast enough to make some plays down the seam. He's a competitive blocker with the frame to get better. -
First and foremost it is great to see a post from you. Hope you and family are healthy and safe in the NYC area,
Hipe to see you more active in the coming season
I hope so. Though Beane's team is yet to achieve anything big other than making the playoffs 1 of the two seasons he has been here. Standards should be highre...expectations are going to be sky high for this team. Let us see how they react. Hope this all sets up for the Superbowl.
