Coach Tuesday

An athletic TE is a cover-2 beater. Anyone who plays Madden knows this. And I don't think the Ravens were in cover-2 just to "make Tyrod be a QB" - they were also protecting their crummy and injured cornerbacks. We never attacked that weakness. What drove me mad during the Marrone years was his stubbornness even when it was obvious that what he was doing wasn't working. It drove me to hate his guts. Roman is heading to the same place in my mind...

So does this mean that the rest of us are allowed to be realistic ("negative") now?

Sounds like the high vet minimum is the issue...

Where/when did he say this?

They should've drafted Treadwell. But we had to have the injured Clemson guy...

We won the offseason!

I'm just going sequentially.

The Browns are worse - but they have a better coaching staff, a better front office, and a very compelling strategic plan. In three years, the Browns will have left us in the dust, just like the Raiders, Texans and Jags have.

I'll add: Jerry Hughes is yet another good (though troubled) player whose career will be marred by being part of the Second Dark Age of the Buffalo Bills. Talent wasted.

Smith was able to make that play because Sammy was bobbling the ball. He needed to make that catch.

The Sabres have a strategy and are following it. The Bills don't.

Sammy needs to make the most of his limited targets. The drops hurt.

Some quick thoughts: Richie played one of his worst games as a Bill. Cyrus was just ok. The Jets will spread him out more on Thursday - they'll use stunts to isolate him and make him move sideways. I'm nervous about it. Too bad Seantrel has chosen pot over a football career. Speaking of stunts - I liked the stunts the Bills were using on defense. Looked much more like a Rex Ryan defense yesterday. Pressures were well-disguised and Flacco was uncomfortable. Rex's D is more about causing incompletions than getting sacks. That was on display yesterday. Robert Woods has no control over his feet. He may have the worst feet of any NFL wide receiver. Greg Roman does not know how to use slot receivers. Greg Roman takes forever to call plays. It has been his reputation since his San Fran days and it's not going to change. It reminds me of certain co-workers of mine - good at what they do, but too much on their own clock to ever take their careers to the next level. Numerous times, Tyrod didn't audible despite obvious run blitzes to the direction of the running play. This is a Big 10 offense, not an NFL offense. I'll say it: I missed 2015 Karlos Williams yesterday. The offense needed someone yesterday to hit the hole with power and get upfield. Instead the RBs danced. As a final thought, in my estimation Doug Whaley's strategic vision for building a football team has failed. Watching the Bills yesterday while also watching the Raiders, Jaguars, Texans and other up and coming teams was both telling and depressing. This team is not constructed properly for so many reasons, I can't get into all of them right now but will do so as the season progresses. It's so incredibly frustrating. I hope the Pegulas see what I see. We as fans deserve better.

And wait until Thursday. Bowles and his double A gappers. It will only get worse.

This is a 3-13 season.

But we won the offseason I thought?

Game.

Won the offseason

This is just like last year folks.

Game over and Rex is one game closer to his last.

Jumped on the back. I saw it and expected the flag.

Why is the offense calling and playing so scared?

Tyrod is a kitty today.

Won the offseason
