Fan in Chicago

I am very impressed that Marrone went to the depth he did in explaining the decision process. Not sure I agree with him sharing all the details with the public but the fact that he took the time and effort is very commendable. He probably wants to cut down on the rumors and have him and his team focus on making the best of a bad situation. Are you honestly worried about this situation? If this were to come to pass, I would be ecstatic. 2-2 or 3-1 over the next 4 games would be far and above the best we could hope for. Yep. I corrected myself in another thread (or maybe in this one).

Indeed in yesterday's game itself, there was the 4th down attempt you mentioned and I also think the clock management at the end was poor. I was hoping they would make all attempts to run a lot of time of the clock or force the Jets to use their timeouts on the last Falcons drive. COnsidering that the Falcons were not playing well on D, they should have left little time for the Jets. I dont have it recorded to see exactly how this could have been done but remember thinking about it on the last Falcons possession.

Play action ? Who is going to be fooled ? I can bet its not that good Bengals defense. They will play press coverage and stack the box - dare Lewis to throw with the option being our RB running into a wall.

Isnt this point already being discussed here: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/162509-why-wasnt-lewis-ejs-backup/ A thread in which you have already contributed ? Why start a new thread on this ?

I will take the argument that Lewis came into the fold late. But, if Lewis was on the PS because he was not ready as of Thursday last week, what makes him ready and better than Tuel today? 3-4 days have made that much difference considering they did not practice over this weekend ? Putting it another way, if Lewis is ready over Tuel today, why was Lewis on the PS for the Browns game with Tuel as backup ? Something does not add up in my mind.

Thanx. I did not know that. Well, then this decision makes me really wonder what is going on with Tuel. What changed between last week and today ? If Lewis was a better option to start behind EJ, why was he on the PS with Tuel backing EJ ?

Wondering if Tuel showed nothing in the last few days of practice. Imho, doesn't bode well for Tuel

Good sound bite. Care to give examples to back that up?

That was fast. He must have been on a short leash. Who takes his place ?

Browns played disciplined, mistake free football. Once EJ went down, they just hunkered down and stayed slightly ahead. Good strategy on their part. We were entirely unprepared for an EJ injury.

Man, we have had no turnovers. A pick 6 will be awesome

Excellent D hold !!!

Looks like the D has to man up and win this one for us

Fooooey

Did I fall asleep ? I didn't see anything worth describing as taunting

Nice !!!

Hi

This game rapidly went out of hand

Need to get pressure on Weeden. Bad. Like NOW

Kyle having a good game

I wouldn't mind a blowout with the Bills doing the pounding. Its been a while

Good job, Carpenter. Must say I didn't expect he would be this good

Looked legal. Just a hard hit and bad fall

Perhaps then you wouldn't talk to yourself So anyway, my story is that by cosmic coincidence, my 15 year old daughter is going to a concert in Chicago. Wifey and me obviously can't let her go alone. What to do, what to do ? Well, wifey comes up with a plan - let us sit in a bar close to the concert location. I get to watch my game, she will play on her tablet for 3 hours. Game ends (Bills win), concert ends, we all go home happy. P.S. I love said wifey

When will these types of posts end ? Bench Spiller, trade Spiller, someone actually happy he is hurt ? Come on, guys ! CJ is a big play maker and gets yards in chunks. Sometimes the matchups prevent him from getting into his game. He still got decent yardage last week. Also, the big advantage we have is that Jackson has a different running style. If one style does not work against a particular team, use the other. This is a good thing - an advantage that few other teams have. We should actually be happy for this variety in our offense, not looking to run one out of town.
