Although I for one am not surprised by the outcome of this game, or this season so far for that matter, I am increasingly angry at being fed YARNS by my football team - it's bad enough that my elected officials feed me yarns every day, I don't need my leisure activities lying to me too. I'm calling out the following individuals, and tell you once and for all to S.T.F.U. because I'm just sick and tired of listening to your horse manure every week:
1) Mularkey. Stop telling me you're providing a smashmouth, run-first physical offense. S.T.F.U. This is what you WANT me and everyone else to think, so that you can catch everyone offguard with your trick plays. NO ONE IS FOOLED by the 2-4 ridiculous junk plays a game (has one worked this year? ONE??). This is not a physical team. This isn't a running team. This is a pass-happy gimmick-play offense designed to mask weaknesses along the o-line.
2) McGahee. Stop telling me how good you are. You weren't even the best back on the field today. And, stop telling me how you're 100%. If this is you at 100%, you really, really played inferior competition at The U.
3) Fletcher. Stop telling me how you're gonna lead this D. I haven't seen you make a single play this year, and you look like you've lost a step.
4) Moulds. Just S.T.F.U.
5) Nate. Stop telling me how you think you should be paid as the top corner in the League. $7+ mil/year ain't worth it for 3 picks and 12 boneheaded plays.
6) Gray. Stop telling me how the players just aren't executing their assignments. I'm not stupid - your assignments only work if you have 11 Pro Bowlers, and even then only 20% of the time. You don't know how to make adjustments - even worse, you REFUSE to acknowledge that you have to. That's what Gregg-o got fired for, and you're gonna be next if you don't watch it. Your schemes are designed for bullying poor offenses at home - they will NEVER win a Championship.
And, finally,
7) Donahoe. You know what? I can live with a rebuilding year, unlike a lot of fans. I actually don't mind watching a young team develop, knowing that they're gaining valuable experience and that greener pastures are on the horizon. SO JUST TELL ME THAT'S WHAT I'LL BE PAYING FOR, YOU ASS. Don't tell me that I'm investing my $$ in a team "on the brink", that only needs an untested rookie QB who lacks patience and discipline to make it to the promised land. This is horsesh--, AND YOU KNOW IT. S.T.F.U.! This team is rebuilding - just say it . TELL IT TO ME STRAIGHT. I'm tired of the lines, the half-speak, the equivocation, the "save the postage." I'm WILLING to be patient, but I'm NOT willing to be lied to over and over again.
(also)
8) Karl Rove. S.T.F.U.

Yeah Moss never scores on other teams.
The "game in a nutshell" is Gray's inability to adjust during halftime, or, for that matter, EVER. This D will continue to do the same thing over and over again until Gray gets fired (which won't happen for a few years, at least). They only do one thing, which is pressure the ball. Doesn't matter what the down and distance is.
-
The problem with the run D is actually the pass D - yes yes I know, ranked #1 in the NFL (before this game) - we all know that's B.S. This D consistently gives up third-and-long situations, which lets the other team's offense run the ball more, leading to more chances.

10/30 - @ New England
11/13 - Kansas City
11/20 - @ San Diego
11/27 - Carolina
GUARANTEED LOCK J.P. will be the starter by the end of that stretch (or immediately thereafter).
This is an AVERAGE team, there is no way we win more than 1 of those games, and the Kid will get his chance to learn and get ready for next year.
-
IMO you might see the Bills' D playing a lot of Cover-2 in this game. LaMont Jordan's strength is running to the outside, and he's a lot faster than people think. Cover-2 will keep our corners in tight to stop the outside run, and it should also give us the over-the-top safety help to take away the deep pass Collins loves to throw.
I am scared to death of Doug Gabriel in this game - McGee, you'd better be ready to run.
-
At times the D gets confused by shifting and motion, which happened a lot against Tampa Bay. BTW, before Spikes' injury, he wasn't getting off of blocks much, either, to the point where I thought he somehow had regressed as an athlete over the offseason. Turns out, that's exactly what happened, as we now know that he started the season at less than 100%, and admitted his explosiveness was down, because of that lingering feeling in his leg that turned out to cause a blown-up achilles.
BUT, I don't think our linebackers not getting off blocks is the problem, and it's RIDICULOUS to say that we'll never win a playoff game with Fletcher at MLB. First off, he won a Superbowl. Second, the real problem is that Milloy and the corners have been missing "second level" tackles. Now, I know some of you will say that there shouldn't ever have to be "second level" tackles, but that's just the style of D we play - RISK/REWARD. Gray is willing to guess wrong to give up the occasional 8-yard run, because just as often he guesses right, which forces a second- and third-and-long, which in turn forces game-changing turnovers. That's how we're set up. It's the OPPOSITE of Cotrell's system, which favored consistency over pressuring the ball. And you know what? It's hard to argue with the results.

Hmm... sorta surprised they didn't show him in a Browns uniform...
-
Give Modrak a raise so the Vikings don't steal him away.
-
Thanks guys!

Forgive me for not going back and reading this entire thread to see if this point has been made, BUT... isn't the issue not WHAT Brady's downfield completion ratio is, but what it is in KEY MOMENTS/GAMES? Isn't that what "defines" his legacy? His ability to hit the long passes in the playoffs in Pittsburgh, in the Superbowl against Carolina, etc.? Isn't this one of those instances of the stats not telling the whole story?

My roster (don't laugh):
QB:
P. Manning
Brooks
McNair
RB:
D. Davis
L. Jordan
Cadillac
WR:
Moulds
Branch
Mason
bunch of losers
TE:
Cooley
H. Miller
I've been offered Antonio Gates and Barlow (who is now averaging over 4 yards per carry) for LaMont Jordan; the same owner also has offered me Gates and Eli Manning for Payton Manning.
Do I do it? Standard scoring, but I'd love to plug Gates into my lineup and not worry about the TE spot, and Peyton's been a disappointment (but I hate trading low value).
HELP!

Here is the link:

I'm not gonna copy and paste it...
Basically, KC Joyner analyzes Losman's yards-per-attempt for short, medium, and long-range passes and concludes that "The Bills' passing game was getting to the point that there simply wasn't anything Mularkey and Clements could put into the passing game plan and expect it to be successful."
He notes that Holcomb has improved the Bills' short-passing game, but unless KH starts completing balls downfield, we're fugged.

Our next 5 games:
at Oak
at NE
(bye)
KC
at SD
Carolina
Um, there you go. If we miraculously come out of that stretch with a winning record, JP doesn't start again until perhaps next season. The more likely scenario is that we lose 3-4 of those games, at least, at which point they likely will put JP back in there to develop him for next season. If that happens, this Board will probably become completely unreadable...

Wow we're about to find out what this team is made out of. The next two weeks we'll be facing wounded animals in their dens. The Raiders need a win this week to turn their season around, and their players (and fans) are gonna be fired up. They will be physical as always, and despite their weak stats, their D is stout up the middle, from Sapp/Washington back to Charles Woodson at free safety.
Then comes New England, who are reeling from a horrid loss in Denver, and will have two weeks to prepare. Oh, and this is what, their 2nd or 3rd home game this season? It'll be LOUD. Plus they get Bruschi back just in time to shore up their struggling run defense... ugh.
Time to find out if our guys have stones. Bring it on.
-
Because of one drive at the very end. Other than that, they were pushed around the entire game by a relentless Raiders passrush and they couldn't do a damn thing on offense.
-
Perhaps a roster spot is about to be vacated.
Say, by a kick-returner.
For example, when Parrish returns.
Perhaps, Josh Reed's spot (of course two spots would have to open - one for Parrish, one for Reed, meaning someone else would have to be cut as well).
-
Um fine but they embarassed us last year without Moss or Jordan.
Folks, relax, it gets better...
