BILLS v. TITANS, Oct 21: Game Thread
sven233 replied to TakeYouToTasker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not that I want to get on Chan for the play calling, but that 2nd down play where the Titans got Spiller, that was the perfect place to run play-action. I was calling for it before the play because it was just the perfect time to hit the TE off play-action there. Again, i don't want to get on him much, but that was just something I would have done different there. If I'm Chan, though, I'm getting the ball to Spiller and Jackson on 80% of the plays in some way shape, or form. -

Anyone? Take your pick..... This defense has been RECORD-SETTING bad this season. Wouldn't be hard to find anyone better at this point. -

Yeah....sounds like Anderson is out for a while. But hey, he knows the system and was playing pretty OK in the preseason. Will be interesting to see how he will be used. -

I can't believe we are still not sending an extra guy. Not getting there on a regular basis with 4.....getting run over, and NO CHANGES on defense. CHANGE IT UP!!!!! -

If we could just hold onto the freaking ball, we'd be in control of the game. 4 turnovers is unacceptable...... -

Why are we running all the outside sweep plays with Jackson? He's just not fast enough. You need to pound him between the tackles. Let CJ get those outside touches. -

Patriots @ Bills 9/30/2012 Game Thread

Heads up guys.......it is what it is. Should we be up 2 TDs right now? Maybe. But, it didn't happen. These 2 teams are slugging it out right now and we do have the lead at halftime. If you would have been told that we would be up 7 at halftime, every single one of us would have taken it before the game. We have caught some breaks and we have given them right back. We're halfway there and outside of a few bad plays, we are playing OK. Defense has to be stronger against the run in the 2nd half and we have to control the ball on offense. We will need more points to win, most likely, but it we're not in a bad spot at all. KEEP FIGHTING. Let's EARN this win. -
Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora Bills are releasing veteran stalwart P Brian Moorman. Surprise move. Have a feeling he might not be a free agent all that long. Wow. Yeah, he hasn't had a great start to the season, but this is still very surprising.

I know.....completely lame. Yeah, it may be the rule, but it is absolutley awful.......

I see your point, but the fact is I was not making reference in to anyone in the media in particular about this specific case. Do you agree that some media members out there, regarding any topic....not just in particular the Bills.....but about anything sometimes are a little biased? If you think that it is possible that does happen sometimes, then that is all I am trying to say. Also, In regards to the Bills and their receivers. Let's just assume for the moment that Johnson, Nelson, Chandler, and Jones are going to be your primary receiving threats this year. Are you concerned with their dropping the ball so far? If not, we are basically saying the same thing. Now, if you want to get into the depth at WR, then there might be some issues way down the line. I don't like Martin at all. He's been dropping balls ever since he got here. Easley still has to prove he can do it. TJ is a rookie so who know what we have there. Roosevelt....well, there is no arguiing that when he gets open, he catches everything thrown his way, Hagan.....well, he has been pretty solid in camp so far. Are there drops by some of these guys? Sure there are. But hopefully with the top guys I mentioned, and with Jackson and Spiller catching balls out of the backfield, those bottom 2-3 guys that do make the team won't be depended on heavily and the drops won't be an issue.
-
WOW.....A little defensive, aren't we? I fail to see where I mentioned you specifically in my GENERAL comment about the media. I did not specifically attack you or anyone else in the media. Sorry you took offense to my report. Look, I am not saying you, or anyone in specific, is not doing their job. I am actually sure you would agree that there are people, without naming any names, in the media that like to hear themselves talk and have a specific agenda. That's all I was saying. My job is not in the media. I was just there as a fan reporting on what I saw. On that specific day of practice, I wasn't concerned with the drops by the receivers and I explained why in my report. Now, if Stevie Johnson, David Nelson, and Scott Chandler start dropping balls on a regular basis, then I wil be worried. But I am not going to worry about guys that probably won't make the team anyway dropping balls. That was the question I was answering.......about the dropped passes. Are there dropped balls out there? Sure. Was there that day? Sure. Were they by the guys that will contribute in a major way to the offense this year? No. That is why I am not concerned about the "dropsies" as I was asked about. Finally, again, I am sorry if you took personal offense to my post. I was not singling out anyone. In fact, I am a big fan of yours and your reporting. So, I am sorry if what I was writing came off the wrong way. Like I said....I'm not in the media. This isn't my job. I own my own retail company. I'm not a professional writier and I don't pretend to be. But when someone asks me personally about what I see about a subject, I am going to give my opinion. I know football....I know what I am looking at. You do, and many others in the media do as well. In the end, when asked if I was concerned about the "dropsies", I was basing my opinion on the guys that will matter the mos this season.....not the guys that won't be on the team. Again, sorry if what I wrote came off the wrong way. Didn't mean anything by it.

Yeah...not sure where that poster got that Maybin size comparison thing. Merriman looks rock solid, as he always has. It's just whether or not his leg falls off or not. Hopefully he is fully healthy and ready to go.
-
Just to clarify, I don't necessarily believe we disagree on Merriman. When I said I think he will make an impact on this team, I didn't mean it was going to be as a regular on the field. I think if he stays healthy, what I think you may see is hi getting 20-25 snaps a game mostly in pass rush situations. As for him looking like Maybin.....well, that's not right at all. You have to remember how big our D-Line is now. He is going to look a little smaller when you see him next to Mario, Dareus, Williams, etc. Our D defense is so much bigger in general that he just looks smaller in comparison. He still weighs in probably around 260. Maybin probably was about 220. Merriman is much bigger than Maybin. But regardless of size, I think he will have an impact in a limited role. Like I said, I am hoping we can get 25 GOOD snaps a game fro him. We'll see. Oh....and Jones was OK. Nothing bad to say about him. He did some decent things. He just isn't going to be special. Hoping for a solid year. But the way the Bills are spreading the ball around, he doesn't need to be. There are going to be a lot of guys catching balls out there. In those offense, it doesn't look like there needs to be a distinct #2 WR. Gonna be a lot of guys having to step up. I expect Chandler and Nelson to maybe have more of an impact on the offense than Jones. We'll see, though. I agree with your other observations as well. The one thing I will add, though is that while they will never say it publicly, I really think they are doing everything they can to have Glenn win the LT job. I really think they are hoping he steps up and are doing all the little things to help him win the job.

First off, you guys are more than welcome for the report. Happy to do it. I know sometimes reading the media reports you get guys that just like to tell you what they think about things trying to prove their right about something without actually watching practice. So, if just having us fans that know what they are looking for and are just trying to be objective do something like this helps, I a more than happy to. As for the "dropsies", there were definitely plays that could have been made that weren't. There were a few occasions that balls should have been caught but weren't. I don't put as much stock in it because Johnson and Nelson weren't practicing. Those are probably your 2 best receivers. Chandler was catching everything thrown his way and it looks like he will be even a bigger part of the offense than he was last year. Actually excited about the TE position. The "dropsies" that seem to come up are being made mostly by guys that either won't make the team or won't have a big role in the offense. TJ looked pretty good as well. So, when it is all said in done, I think the WRs will be fine. I don't think the drops will be a concern once we get our real WRs out there.
