Bledsoe looked average in the first half, but not horrible. The bomb to Evans..... due to the wind,
I thought he looked awful in the first half, making several poor decisions and having his bacon saved by others on more than one occasion. And I didn't give him hell for not hitting Evans in stride in that wind, I gave him hell for not even giving Evans a remote chance to play the ball when so far he's given Drew every reason to have confidence in him downfield.
He really settled down and played much smarter ball in the 2nd though.

Actually I thought the Bills OLine played better against Jax and NE, while playing just as well vs Oakland.
In fact the only time all year they've really played poorly was against the Jets, and that was just the left side with LSmith and an injured Jennings.
They were solid today and props to Drew for finally taking advantage of it in the second half when he made better decisions and managed the offense very well.

You know, I see an awful lot of "shut-up you stupid Drew-basher" posts.
However I haven't seen a single post even attempting to refute or even reasonably discuss the several examples I cited of Drew's very real struggles in the first half.
Telling somebody they're a mindless idiot who nobody wants to be around just doesn't do all that much to validate your position, which I assume is "everybody but me should shut-up".

T.D. already signed him for another year at a million
Thank ya KD, I didn't know that.
I'd have to say a million is pretty steep for a guy who hasn't played all that well. But if it produces a good year from him this year (which it has) and another next season in his contract year (which it should), then maybe it's a decent investment.

Just keeping Willis hungry bro......
-
The phins are done like dinner and we're running pitch plays?
I'd have liked to see the look on Mularkey's face when he saw that develop.
Just secure the freaking handoff Tom.....
And props to the Bills clock operator for running a couple extra off when Joe Burns ran OB right before the 2minute warning.
And way to eat that stiff arm Antuan. You'll be thinking twice about busting McGahee OB again.

Agreed.
Careful, you know what they say about agreeing with mindless idiots ;-)
Especially when they're fellow Yankee fans!

I think that the look on Travis' face on the sideline was academic
travis....academic.......academic....travis
And I agree with your main point. When Willis took over for TRavis in the Jest game, it took exactly one play to see a discernable difference in the offense.

I guessed you missed Tom Bradys great performance against the Fins last week
Oh in that case, I take it back. Since Brady had a poor outing then I guess Drew really didn't do all those things listed.
Hey look at that. Drew moved in the pocket and completed a pass into the wind. This guy's alright.I thought the best thing about that play wasn't the fact that he slid to avoid pressure (which he did nicely), but that he got his eyes back downfield quickly, something he hasn't done much of.

3rd/goal and the end of the 3rdqrtr.
Props to Gray for 4 pts worth of patience.
-
That sum it up?
Idiot....
I've given Drew many props for and defended parts of his game at several junctures over the last few years.
That summation is probably more indicative of my opinion of you than Drew.
-
He showed some good quicks on a big pressure in the 1stqrtr too.
He's having a career year in a contract season but I don't think it's a co-incidence the Bills drafted a good DT this year.

I love how people think a QB should NEVER take a sack...
Oh BTW, he's only taken one sack today as well.
Ooops, I was thinking he'd taken two. But the one was at his own two with 3:00 left in the half. That's a bad sack and he's played a bad half regardless of how mindless I amy be.
Oh, and on being "bailed out" by Moulds - umm, isn't that what star receivers do is make great catches???It wasn't a great catch, it was a great play to keep the corner off and prevent a potential pick on a ball that he never should have let go.

I like Nate... He makes some Plays...But.......a Playmaker.....well nevermind...
C'mon K, the guy has a dozen picks, has forced some fumbles, scored some TD's, defended a lot of passes and even has a respectable pile of of ST's plays while still working on his rookie contract.
How much do you expect from a cornerback?

Replying to Drew seems to be playing a little better
Yeah, except for missing a wideopen Lee Evans by 30ft and not even giving him to a chance to make another play on the ball.
And for bouncing one of ZThomas' hands by throwing into double coverage in the red zone
And for taking two bad sacks instead of getting the ball out
And for for forcing another into coverage when he wasn't planted and being bailed out by an All-Pro play by Moulds.
And for finally throwing the pick but being bailed out by the officials.
And for producing 0 points in the first half of a home divisional game.
Go get 'em Drew.

What the !@#$ is with this Kevin Thomas?
He's a complete airhead and a real liability in the dime. I'm guessing this is his last year as a Bill. Which is too bad after he showed a very bried flash of potential when he was first forced into action.
I even wonder if right now DGreer might be a better option in the dbackfield (I won't suggest as gunner after he got tooled ugly by a fake faircatch he should have ignored).

How is he calling the game to lose?
We've got a defensive TD on a well-timed Spikes blitz and almost got another one from Nate because he attacked the sticks.
If he were to come out blitzing heavily against a candy-armed QB who doesn't need pressure to throw picks and who's running a gameplan that emphasizes short routes, he'd be a damend fool.
In that 30mph wind, just give Fiedler enough rope to hang himself and he'll do it.

Yeah he sucks. Singled up on 3rd down, he covers a tough move tight and forces a miami punt for about his 3rd or 4th nice play of the half.
What a loser......
-
That's two weeks in a row a good defense has played a flat firsthalf against a division opponent.
Next week, Kee needs to bring enough salts for everybody......
-
He wasn't kiddin' about the "moron free" zone, was he?
No, he was not.
And just to clarify, I don't consider Joe6 to be a moron. It's just that there are 100 other threads where he is free to start a name-calling flame war. I'm keeping this one clear for those who'd rather be civil than abrasive.

If it was a counter then all bets are off... I didn't see any counter type action and that would be unusual for a FB to do, but I haven't watched the game a second time yet and I'm not sure if I will or not. :-)
By that point I could see the bottom of a bottle of Captain Morgan's, so don't assume that it actually was a counter. I just thought I remember seeing them start the action right and then Shelton coming across Bledsoe's bow. Maybe he cut it back on his own, (really doubtful) or maybe I was just overserved (a distinct possibility).
If you do watch the game again (you should, the first half was great and the rest wasn't bad either) I'd be interested to know how stupid/smart I actually am;-)

Welcome aboard, rd.
I'm feeling pretty good about Sunday to tell you the truth. We haven't been worth a damn in the Meadowlands lately but this team is quite a bit different than the circus the Bills have been putting on the field the last few years. This team is better than its record and to tell you the truth is just a few plays from being 3-0 like you guys. The lack of scoring has been mostly a result of little mistakes on key downs late in games.
If you're going to beat us this week, it's going to be Penney that does the damage. I can see your staff pulling back the throttle on CMartin to keep him fresh and with PatWIlliamsSamAdamsLondonFletcherTakeoSpikes in the front7, this week would be an excellent time to do it.
I don't blame your distrust of Hackett, I live down in Pitt territory and his name has been a running gag around here for over a decade.
I do like your head coach and some of the guys on your roster though, but to tell you the truth I hope we get off the schnied by pounding you guys into the turf this weekend;-)
I'd be interested in hearing more about your defense and its tendecnies so far this year.

Yanks have lost their last 3 game 1s
I bet if you go back a few years, you can make a lot fuglier a number than that.......

That hold on the FB dive play was laughable. It's really just not physically possible to hold in that short flash of time on a dive play that nets 2 yards.
I'm usually a barrel of laughs to watch a Bills game with, regardless of the score. But when I saw the laundry flying again on 3rd/1 at midfield vs the Pats I went ballistic. I thought my buddy (who had no knowledge of the Vilarial call vs Jax) was going to chuck me through my bay window just to get me to shut the hell up.
Granted, I think it was a counter to Shelton so somebody may have had time to grab a sleeve, but if you're not going to call holding on the Pats all day, don't start calling it on us at that point in the game, especially on that down with that playcall. Just get the hell out of the way and let the boys get to it.

My God...the OLine played VERY well
in The Stadium Wall Archives

See this is what I can't figure out. What on god's green earth does Travis Henry have to do with the OLine?!
If the OLine picks up 5-6 rushers and Travis blows the block on the extra blitzer, why do you feel the need to blame the OLine and make disparaging comments about McNally who has done a wonderful job so far?
Outside of an injured Jenning's and a young LSmith's struggles against the Jets, the Oline itself has played well all year against some very good defensive fronts.
Repeatedly blaming McNally and the offensive front for Travis' poor protection, Drew's indecision and some marginal WR play just doesn't make any sense to me.

P.S. And ranting on about benching Jennings (who has been the Bills best OLinemen the last 3 years) because he had one poor outing playing concussed on one leg vs Abraham makes no sense to me either.
