[Rapid Reaction - 10 Observations About Today's Game]

I thought tyrod was still descent today. For sure he had a slow first half but he got no help with 2 playmakers being injured as well as o lineman, had terrible play calls for him, and the penalties were a disaster. Loved the way he responded in the 2nd half the kid doesn't quit

[Week 4 game balls go to.....]

He also defended several passes and made an INT inn the red zone to keep our faint chances alive.

I do agree that he played well in the 2nd half but he struggled early

[Week 4 game balls go to.....]

Gilmore was good too. The secondary minus Rambo had a solid game.

You think Gilmore was good? I think he had a good 2nd half but he was beat pretty consistently in the 1st half including the first touchdown

[Is this defense just average?]

Ask jet fans about that with Rex

This happened a lot with the jets defence too?

[The "can Dan" Carpenter thread]

There are no kickers out there.. be careful what you wish for

[Is this defense just average?]

A great defense gets their offense the ball back after we scored our TD and were within 6 points. This team is all about defense and most of their salary cap money is on that side of ball. We need them to make plays and be above average when the game is on the line, not miss tackles. Just saying.....

Agreed. Defence wasn't bad today but when they needed a stop at a crucial time they couldn't get the job done

[Is this defense just average?]

Yep. 2 bad games and 2 good games for the defence

[A Few Thoughts About The Game, in no particular order.....]

#13,. Definitely not happy with the schemes. He is overthinking with his exotic blitzes. Sometimes simple is better

[Inexcusable Loss Today]

Carpenters miss killed us...game would have been tied instead of us being down 16-10.

I know. I really felt like it was over when he missed that

[Inexcusable Loss Today]

It also helps when two. Touchdowns are called back by horrible penalties that weren't.

Yep. Also carpenters missed kick, and the penalty on the giants field goal that gave them the first down and they got the touchdown right after. Bad refs and terrible focus and discipline by the players too

[The elephant in the room.....]

Offence is better this year, defence is definitely worse

[2nd half Giants at Bills]

I can't believe we are losing to one of the worst teams in the league

Im not at all. Life as a bills fan

[1st half Giants at Bills]

absolute joke of a half. Making the giants defence look like the 85 bears

[Predict the Bills first play from scrimmage vs GMEN]

karlos off right guard for 4

[Who will the Bills miss more on offense: Shady or Sammy?]

I would say Sammy because he draws the number 1 corner plus a safety at times. McCoy is very dangerous but I think he has a solid replacement in karlos Williams that should do very well

[Maybe Roman wasn't the problem in SF - musings from Bay Area]

Kap is built so differently from RG3 though. He is much bigger and stronger. He can take more hits and make bigger throws. Granted RG3 could make more throws than Tebow or Pryor, but I definitely saw Kap having more long-term potential in the pros. I think he still has a chance, but his team is in shambles right now.

Fair enough, but the main similarity I meant is that they are both run first quarterbacks who struggle as pocket passers. In the NFL you will not succeed as a QB if you can't make consistent throws from the pocket

[Maybe Roman wasn't the problem in SF - musings from Bay Area]

Kapernick is not good, that was the problem. He was a gimmick QB just like RG3. Once defences got some game tape on these running qbs, they figured them out pretty fast

[An idea to slow down the Patriots offense next time]

I really don't think it's a secret how to stop the patriots. You need pressure with 4 guys and got to jam their receivers at the line. You will rarely confuse brady, he's seen it all. Got to keep it simple and execute, just like the Giants in the super bowls. Much easier said than done though

[Predictions for New York Giants Game]

I feel the same way. The Giants haven't looked great this year but Eli has it in him to turn things around and he has 2 great WR options now. they will put some points on the board

Agreed. The giants could easily be 3-0 as well if it wasn't for some ridiculous time management that coast them in weeks 1 and 2. Underrated team I think

[Predictions for New York Giants Game]

This is a scary game for me. Victor cruz coming back, Bills injuries piling up. I'll still say 23-20 bills

[Aaron Rogers is a bum]

 

He busted up a few plays but yeah he wasn't hugely disruptive. Suh should have had a grade fairly neutral or small positive grade.

Ya I agree, I think I remember him making a couple plays but definitely didn't have a great impact on the game

[The Million Dollar Question]

My guess would be fumbles. Coaches hate having players that they can't trust in game situations

[Aaron Rogers is a bum]

Didn't PFF give suh a very high score against the bills? The guy seemed invisible to me

[Who's going to be the first coach fired this year?]

Philbin

[Jets vs. Fins, 10/4 - Who to root for?]

Bingo. I don't mind the Jets this year. Except for our match ups, in which I will hate them with s passion.

Ya same, I still don't like the jets because they are a division rival but with chan and fitzzy there, the hatred has gone down a lot
