  1. It's likely bye bye read option with Orton at QB since he's not much of a running threat.

     

    I feel like it's best used during the hurry-up offense. While we're trying to establish the run or eat up clock later in the game, put the FB out there and run out of more traditional formations.

     

    On that note, I haven't re-watched the game yet, but my initial impression of Richardson's run blocking was good.

  2. Shwarts needs to call a good game on defense and I suspect he will.

     

    Seriously.

     

    I'm waiting for the defense to disappoint. SD was the closest they came to it, but still made good adjustments mid-game and gave us a chance to come back.

     

    Schwartz knows the Lions well. It'll be another game where the offense decides our fate.

  3.  

    You don't know that he can't be better in Buffalo than his previous NFL stops? Maybe the last couple of years as a backup have been a wake-up call? Maybe he will find this system to be a good fit for him?

     

    ...or maybe he will stink it up? I don't know for sure, and neither do you! But if he can be accurate and decisive, that will be a 100% improvement over Manuel whose head is completely messed up.

     

    And the wheel keeps on turnin'

     

  4. EJ & Hackett lost us this game. EJ, I've had it with you. Hackett, go back to college.

     

    I didn't have a problem with the play calling overall. The plays were there to be made, but 1) EJ's not seeing the field well or throwing an inaccurate pass, 2) the WRs are dropping the ball, and 3) the O-line is failing to protect.

     

    I guess, if I'm gonna criticize Hackett, maybe he's not preparing them well, but I have little insight on that.

  6. Prevent offense.

     

    Nice.

     

    I thought the D adjusted well to the short passing game. They were beat by a couple nice long passes and bad coverage. It helped that San Diego had the wind at their backs, but those plays could've been prevented. San Diego had great 3rd down conversion % coming into this game, so I wasn't totally surprised by their efficiency early on. When they're on top of their game, they're hard to stop.

     

    Overall, it was a solid outing by the D. Schwartz didn't need to blitz more. The line was getting pressure, but Rivers beat it often enough. Blitzing more may have actually made the situation worse.

  7. Might be onto something there. People just need to take a step back. Even Manning and Brady and Luck and Rodgers have bad games. I'm not saying EJ is in their league, but the point is, it happens. No one is perfect. Everyone needs to step back and realize we're 2-1 and tied for 1st in our division.

     

    Rodgers' offense only scored 7 points today against a division rival. What should GB do about him? He's clearly not the answer this year.

  8. In what world? Here you helped us win our first two games but you didn't play well in the third, take a seat on the bench? My god the idiocy of this board after a loss is unbearable.

     

    What percentage of the idiocy do we associate with PUI (posting under the influence)? It is game day, after all.

     

    I say 72.5%

  9. People get too emotional after one loss. It was definitely a bad day for the offense, but you don't bench your starter after the first bad game of the year. That kind of wishy-washy behavior will lose a locker room really fast.

     

    Defensive game plan was really bad. Considering the loss of Ryan Matthews, I thought for sure that we'd have better coverage guys out there to handle the underneath stuff. Instead, Preston Brown is covering the slot WR and RBs? Terrible.

  10. This is a much harder game to predict than the last two.

     

    Things I like for the Bills:

     

    1. Offensive element of surprise - we have some new pieces and a young OC who hasn't revealed all of the playbook. Meanwhile, Schwartz shouldn't be surprised by anything the Chargers try to do.

     

    2. Home field - The crowd is going to amp up our defense like they did this past Sunday.

     

    (3). Weather - In parenthesis because we don't know how it's going to be, but if it rains, that theoretically gives us a bigger advantage in the run game.

     

    The Bills have showcased great game planning in the first two outings and have given themselves plenty of opportunities to score.

     

    I choose to believe that in game 3 , with solid preparation and in the comfort of home field, we will hit on the plays we've missed during the first two games. This game will turn into a shoot-out.

     

    Bills win 37-34
