He obviously doesn't billieve in playing Spiller in the red zone. Idiot.
i know... if ur not going to win any games at least get me a few TDs for my fantasy team
-
Made a nice play to force a fumble today. PI was the end of the game, but i had 0 faith in a comeback anyway
-
As bad as the red flag thing was... He kicked a 48 yard field goal on 3rd down. I don't care who the kicker is, that's a tough kick from the hash. Why not try and pick up a few yards? What are u doing on a bad snap? A 58 yarder? Dumb!
-
Right with everyone on Losman hate. I hated this guy from the moment we traded up to get him. He doesnt look like a QB, doesnt carry himself like hes the guy. Even Rob Johnson had some of the swagger needed to be a QB. Losman was a bust from day 1.

The niners look pretty good with Alex smith/ kapernick (no idea how to spell that) and a solid D. The Seahawks seem to be competing in every game with a rookie QB. Chicago looks unbeatable with hit or miss Cutler. Consider what Arizona is doing with not only atrocious QB play, but crappy RBs too.
What I am trying to say is it is perfectly possible to win with the QB we have, by improving other elements around the team. I do think we need to draft a young guy to groom, because Fitz can be infuriatingly bad at times, and we dont have a competant backup on the team.
We need Linebackers that can tackle, and a Coordinator whos not afraid to take chances. A leader on D would do wonders too, our whole team too often is looking around for someone to tell them how to play, where to go etc.
-
Blame the D, but they came up with a couple of pretty clutch stops against one of the best O's in Football. Holding them to 3 and keeping 2+ on the clock is more than we should be asking of a historically bad D. We drove down, had 30 seconds left on the 15 yard line, and absolutely blew it. Stats are just stats, and I'm 100% with Stevie that we should be targeting a Vet on that drive.

I used to love watching highlights on ESPN, but now good games between playoff teams get 25 minutes of coverage. And a bills game gets booted to 25 seconds in the last 5 minutes.
Even beyond that... Hockey highlights? yeah right! Soccer? Good joke...
Just watch highlights on the computer, ESPN is just good for things like 30 for 30 and live games.

couldn't agree more
This guy was a made football player IMHO, with roids or something at Penn State and once he was to get tested he lost weight and strength.
He was just like his agent/advisor Arrington another PS player who was all talk, made fortune and never played a damn.
He was never what he appeared to be to the scouts, but he is just a SHARLOTIN. Just as many Bills fans knew instinctively
BwaHaHa
Arrington was actually pretty good, whether a product of steroids or not. He had Merriman like injury issues
-
Chan has NOT used the wildcat creatively at all. It always takes way too long to set up, and theres no motion, no pitches, no hand offs or anything. Its a direct snap and run move. Absolute garbage.
His addiction to Fitz passes boggles my mind as well. Without Nelson, we have had to rely on Chandler way more, and hes shown himself incapable of making clutch first down catches. Time to get a guy who can run routes, get open, catch the ball, and move the chains!
-
FWIW I thought Landry Jones actually looked pretty good as well when I was watching Oklahoma. Didn't seem to have happy feet against Notre Dame, and did a decent job taking what they were giving him.
-
I never really liked bell, always seemed ok in pass protection but in the running game I never noticed him.
-
We draft poorly whether we draft first or 10th. Good players go all throughout the draft, and there is no lock pick. Believe it or not, the players are ALL available, and if theres someone you really really want, you can aggressively pursue the pick necessary to get them. Sure we didn't get Willis because he was picked before us, but Revis went right after us and we didnt pick him either. A couple years later we DID get Maybin when we couldve traded down or up. Losing on purpose is moot if you cant pick winners.
-
I don't want to give up quite yet, but they have no killer instinct, and Gaileys in denial of where we currently stand. We are not out of it by any means, but when you dont take ANY chances in a game youre likely to lose - Guess what? You Lose!!!
If we are out, it starts with leaders. This team needs leaders on both sides of the ball. A QB who can open up the playbook would be great as well. But someone on the defense who has an idea of whats going on out there is just as important. If its replacing Wilson, or Shephard, or Barnett (or all 3), it has to happen for the team to improve. Our young CBs are BEGGING for leadership. Multiple times this season Gilmore, and Williams even Mcgee are second guessing playcalls - man vs. zone - etc. It's not on Mario and Dareus to tell you who and how to cover, but it is on SOMEONE. I think we need that guy as much as we need a Geno Smith, or Barkley.
-
The team seems like they have no chemistry. They play without passion and drive, and they often look lost on both sides of the ball. We need not only coachs, but players who believe that they are the best team on the field, and that they can beat everyone. I dont think weve had a coach like that since Levy.
As for players, when you lose every year I could care less who stays or goes. I think FJ is past his prime sure, but if spiller goes down we need SOMEONE back there, and the guys been good to us in the past.
Fitz is gone after this year, and i think his struggles are coming a lot out of not having Nelson in the slot. He was clutch in the red zone, and while being younger than most guys on the team, was developing into a leader on offense.
My fix is the same as most, but the key is leaders, and people who will hold themselves and everyone else on the field accountable. A defensive "QB" is needed as much as a real franched QB.

Brad Smith is probably the most under-utilized player on the team. Theres like so many things wrong with how we use him:
1 - Hes back there by himself, so he already doesnt have anyone to pitch to - The option needs OPTIONS... if its a speed option he needs someone back there so they cant just pack the box on him
2 - They rarely have spiller or jackson motion across, so theres no confusion on whos getting the ball or where its going
3 - We keep fitz on the field for some reason, even though we could sub him out for an actual receiver - or extra blockers
4 - We never put him in the backfield WITH fitz, which can cause some confusion as well
5 - Havent done one reverse with him all year... That ALSO can cause confusion since if its designed correctly we can have open receivers downfield (that bengals one is a great example) - not to mention hes fast and shifty - get him the ball in space!
6 - Teach the guy to punt... considering we punt from the 35 in OT (and in their territory frequently), we may as well have a guy who can cause them to maybe burn a Timeout or save ourselves a big return
7 - How about a creative "Music City Miracle" Type of return play?
Just some of my thoughts about our boring vanilla offense... The worst part is, I feel like theyve worked on these things but they never do them
-
I think we should just make the offense a little more classic. Regular I formations (mix in some fj/cj dual back stuff), and run some play action. Helps create more space for fitz, plus gets him on the move where he thrives more.
-
If i recall correctly, mcgee dropped into zone - turned around to find out it was a man call. Cant fault a coach for a players mental mistake
-
I guess I'll be the one to say it. As of right now, this Wilson character is 0-0. Why don't we let him play a few years before we decide we made a huge mistake not drafting the guy.
-
I didnt think the halftime show was that bad. I don't understand why everyone thinks all these rock bands should be playing it anyway, its clearly made so girls are entertained. Id rather watch them show first half highlights and talk about the game, but theres probably like 35 million women watching for commercials and madonna.
-
Yeah, he really only plays in obvious passing situations. Wheres the stat that would show how huge a liability he is in defending the run? or how he has like 0 tackles outside of sacks...
-
Ugh, we also used to average 30 points per game... and for 3 weeks we havent even scored that many
-
Watching the game, complaints can be made about every aspect of this team. To me it starts at the top with chans play calling, which has been just plain bad. Even in garbage time we cant get in the endzone. Down 7-3 we go pass, pass, pass with every one coming out of a 5 or 4 wide shotgun snap. I know hes trying to play to fitz's strengths, but youre also playing to our weaknesses on the line, and depth at wideout. Fitz looks shaken up, and a good dose of running plays and play action could go a long way to moving the chains.
-
They also lost the thursday game that they had less time to prepare for... so i dont know if thats a major advantage in scheduling.
-
yes the defense played bad... but you cant win if you only score 7 points. Fitz shoulders a lot of that blame as a QB, and he played terrible. Overthrowing receivers, and general inaccuracy in the passing game caused the offense to look so stale. He wasnt even hitting his slants in stride, he was bad this game from start to finish.
50-60 yard FG's are off the Bills table

Then get a new kicker with the leg. Its stupid as hell to punt from the 33 yard line. Or at least teach brad smith to punt so we can have some type of attempt to get the first/make them call time out.
