  1. I can counter it. The Bills won. They've been tied or ahead in the 4th quarter of ALL seven games. Yet now you are finding fault with the WAY they are scoring. Amazing.

     

    I'm thrilled the Bills won. But they were still thoroughly outplayed today, and still sit with a 3-4 record.

     

    I would love to proudly proclaim the Bills are on their way. But there is still a lot of garbage on this team that needs fixing. We won't get saved by turnovers every week. I can't get too excited, because I know that without a couple amazing plays by Robey and Mario, this is another loss. If Hackett doesn't improve his play calling, we are at a disadvantage every week.

  2. I'm always amazed at how we can be one of the most consistent scoring teams in the league, and even after a win, it's just a whine-feat about Hackett.

     

    He is putting the team in a place to score, and we are scoring (a lot) of points. We won , were on the rise, and Hackett is showing he is putting an offense run by a UDFA in a place to win.

     

    I get he's young, and not the best OC in the league, but the guy is getting the job done.

     

    Bull. This is why "stats" are overrated.

     

    People keep pulling out this "we are 1 of 2 teams to score 20 every week" nonsense. They neglect to point out that in 7 games, we also have YET to score 25. And if you take away the defensive touchdowns, our offense scored only 14 against the Patriots and only 16 today. That is not "a lot" of points.

     

     

    If you were to break it down, you would also find that most of our offensive points have come from big plays (such as the deep touchdown throw to Goodwin in Cincinnati or CJ's run against the Browns). Although these plays are awesome, it only amplifies the FACT that we are NOT sustaining drives. You want to pull out some stats about consistency? How do we rank against other teams in 3-outs? How many scoring drives have we had of 7 or more plays?

  3. We have talent. And our players are playing hard every single week.

     

    Coaching (unfortunately, on both sides of the ball and special teams) is really pulling this team down.

     

     

    - Crossman is a proven loser at ST. He should have never been hired and needs to go right now.

     

    - Hackett makes a good call once in awhile, but seems to have no feel for the game. He's predictable. Every week he seems to leave half of the playbook at home. If he doesn't improve drastically by season's end, they need to replace him with a veteran coach.

     

    - I love Pettine's attacking defense, but the last few weeks his scheme is leaving guys completely uncovered. You always take risks with the blitz, but there has to be someone available to at least make the tackle if a quick pass is completed.

  4. Reading the posts here, you'd think we were down by 40 points. On the road against a good team with a third string QB, hobbled RB's and a hobbled secondary and we are down one point. Yeah, we suck, the coaches suck, all is lost.

     

    No more excuses.

     

    Hackett is getting pretty good play out of his 3rd string QB. He's getting a tough performance out of Fred Jackson.

     

    But he keeps putting the offense in a hole with his ridiculous, predictable play-calling. Too many 3 and outs. Not enough sustained drives.
