To be fair, that was a great offensive play design to get Calvin Johnson away from McKelvin and into a mismatch.
This is more of an indictment of the offense (including during the last 4 coaching regimes), but isn't it funny how easy it is for other teams to get their #1 WR's in mismatches like that, and the Bills can never do that with Lee Evans?

Duane Edwards has been very disappointing. Wasn't expecting a sack master, but some pressures and an occasional sack would have been nice. Stroud? Stick a fork in him, he's done. Just wasting snaps. It's well past time to get Carrington on the field, coach him up (no more standing straight up).
Hell, the way Stroud has played, maybe even give McCargo a few snaps. Stroud gets no pressure on a QB and it boogles the mind that anyone reallt thought Stroud (washed up at Tackle) would be able to play DE successfully.
These guys are 3-4 ends for the most part; they're not supposed to get sacks. I think Dwan Edwards has been a pleasant surprise; and Stroud has had his ups and downs at 3-4 end, but I commend him for his effort and great attitude in making the switch.
The real problem is our OLB's; they're horrible and can't rush the passer. That's where we should be getting sacks.

No matter what happens, all roads lead to Keith Ellison.

The funny thing was, I wasn't getting HD for the Bills game but I did for all the other games.
They probably thought they were giving you a perk; no need to see a train wreck in HD.

Running game was going nowhere today.
I will say, however, I was hoping to see Fitz take off and scramble a few times today, to make a couple of 3rd downs more manageable. I don't think he ran once today; maybe they had a spy on him?
-
I actually have been very impressed with Fitz this year.
You guys who criticize him hold him to a much higher, unfair standard. He's not a "franchise" QB (i.e., a guy who will drive your team down the field with the game on the line for the winning score), and doesn't pretend to be one. But he's solid, moves the chains, actually gives us production from our WR's, etc.
On most teams, he would be a marginal starter or excellent back-up. On a team stacked with talent, he would easily be a playoff caliber QB. I mean, put that guy on the Jets, and he'd probably make the pro bowl.
-
It was a strange decision, but immaterial in the end. The defense got the ball back, and we had enough time to drive down for a game-tying FG.
-
Bears defense does that to a lot of teams; they were number 1 against the run (and I think recently fell to only #5). You just can't run on some teams.
-
Watching the Michigan defense on Saturday, makes the Bills defense look really good on Sunday.
-
with an exhibition against Andre Reed's alma mater, Kutztown.
For those in the Buffalo are, the game will be telecast on SNY (If I remember correctly, all of their games will be on either ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU or SNY this year).
Regular season tips off on 11/12 against N. Iowa.
I heard the freshmen looked solid; did you see any of the game?
I also read recently that JB said that Waiters is the best freshman guard they've ever had; think about that for a second!!

between moss going deep and chris johnson in the backfield defenses are gonna have fits
When Moss was cut, I predicted to a friend that the Titans would sign him. In my mind, with CJ and now Moss, that team goes to an instant Super Bowl contender. The defense they have is very solid, as well.
-
He cleared the 53-yarder by about 6 yards, both times he kicked it. This is a non-point.
It absolutely is a valid point. You don't play to get your FG kicker in a position to kick really long, low percentage field goals. They needed to play end of regulation and OT with the mindset of trying to win the game.
-
Sunday afternoon at 5:40. Watching yet another heartbreaking defeat. This team had to do like 10 different things to lose. Eleven seasons of trashy football. When the O plays well, the defense doesn't and vice versa.
I am seriously beginning to believe that we are cursed. Someone angered the football gods along the way.
I know we need a new def. coordinator; someone who has a blitz in his playbook.
More importantly, do we need to add a shaman, imam,priest or exorcist to the coaching staff?
Weigh in on this one.
Yes, we are. No other way to explain things like: (1) Fitz's ball-slipped-out-of-my-hands INT; and (2) the Lindell make-then-miss FG.
I actually turned to my wife when Lindell made the FG and the Chiefs called TO, and told her, "watch and see the bad luck of the Bills."
-
The play calling in the second half and OT was good, except for when we got within 5 yards of field goal range. If Chan had ran on 1st and 2nd down on the first and/or last series when we were near/just in field goal range we would have had at the bare minimum a tie and likely a win. Chan, Fitz, and Lindell all choked when inside the Chiefs 45.
Very typical Bills play. Any time this team gets a chance to win or tie a game late, they freeze up with execution and playcalling right at the edge of FG range, usually giving Lindell a nearly impossible kick to make. It's not fair to trot Lindell out to try to hit game-tying or GW FG's from 50+ yards.
-
I just want to the Bills to have long term success. I don't think Ryan Fitzpatrick is the guy to get us there. I hope we get the top draft pick and get our franchise QB and return to prominence.
I never understand you draft-centric guys. You do realize that if we get the #1 overall pick, odds are at least 50/50 he will bust out or we'll pick the wrong guy. You need to cheer for this team in the moment.
-
I enjoyed seeing 6'6" Matt Cassel juke him out in the open field and pick up 10 yards on a scramble. That's like being juked out by Drew Bledsoe.
-
Let's get Cornell Green back in there. He deserves a second chance.
Sincerely,
Cornell's Mom

Maybe, just ,maybe Edwards is wrong with Maybin like Chan was with Fitz and others like Cornwell at RT early this year? Maybe Edwards is as wrong with Maybin as everyone but sees with Kelsaycan't?
Exactly. I don't trust the judgment of anyone who is the coordinator of the worst defense in the NFL and has Chris Kelsay running 30 yards downfield in pass coverage.
-
They nominate winners of NFL football games. Not almost winners.
They don't realize that Bills' fans consider moral victories as true wins.
-
Why are you blaming Edwards for Maybin's problems. Don't you think Edwards would love it if Maybin produced? Maybe the reason Edwards has "shown us nothing" is because Nix and company were relying on Maybin to step up. Chan does not appear to be very happy with Maybin either.
So why should Edwards play him? Jauron drafted Maybin and he didn't play him either. Maybin has been horrible in all facets of the game, even special teams.
I don't disagree with you. I guess my original point was I would hope a good def coordinator could figure out a way to use Maybin, who we can all agree is athletically gifted.
-
Could it be possible that Aaron Maybin's failure to improve in his 2nd year could be attributed partly to the fact that George Edwards is an awful defensive coordinator?
When I saw the title to this thread, I thought you were going to make a slightly different point. The fact that Edwards has shown us nothing makes me question the decision to bench Maybin, and his ability to evaluate talent in general. Maybin has performed like garbage, but he is super fast. Edwards should be able to at least stick him in the games, move him around, bring him as a situational blitzer, etc. in order to put him in the best position to rush the passer.
-
How do you blame Hangartner and not Nelson? Refs or no refs, Nelson needs to hang on to that ball.
-
ehh, ive only seen him do that after a big gain has already been made. better to live to fight another day sometimes.
if it was a RB, i might be upset as well. but with a WR, im just glad he caught the ball, turned upfield, and made the play.
edit: Great game, Stevie!! Glad to see him live up to what we have all expected from him around here!!
Agreed. With our bad luck, I'd rather not see him take chances and get injured.
-
Worth a look I would think.........
If George Edwards coached him in Miami, I'm willing to bet we pick him up.

The Bills are playing better and better every week. Carolina is playing worse and worse every week.
I wouldn't be surprised if by season's end this team has 4-5 wins and is picking somewhere around #8-10.
