So is such a one dimensional offense sustainable? My guess is Cards make adjustment and TT needs to make lays with his arm to win this game. Bills need at least 10 more points to win, maybe more.

He gets thrown off by pressure, real or just perceived, all the time.

So you're a doctor now? Doctors generally don't want to go straight to surgery if they feel it can heal on it's own. After some time I'm guessing that they realized it wasn't healing like they had hoped and elected to have surgery. It's not too difficult to figure out if you take your emotions out of it. Questioning why a player who is coming off surgery isn't on the field isn't a solid foundation for a rant. Yeah, he's weak because he played through all of last year with a stress fracture while at the same time putting up numbers better than everyone but two guys in the league. When you start saying this like his "boo boo" it's all emotional. People who are rational don't speak like that.

I haven't read the entire thread to know if this was brought up but it struck me the other day that when Roman was brought in there was a lot of talk about how big his playbook was. When people/press asked if it was going to be "too much" to digest the narrative was that, while big, his the plays were really just the same ones over and over but with different personnel packages and formations. This, it was claimed, would make it easy for the offense to lean the playbook (since it really wasn't that many plays) but hard for the defense to dissect (since the plays all looked different in pre-snap reads.) So now, 18 games later the offense is "too complicated" with "too many plays?"

The question is why aren't you a "Sammy lover." He's the best player on offense of your favorite team. The guy is hurt, he had surgery on his foot and is required to make sharp cuts. It was never going to be an easy recovery, we just convinced ourselves everything would be fine. And now that it's not, there's anger at him, as if it's his fault.

That's why we want self driving cars, not a reason against them.

Its not how big your playbook is, its how you use it.

Yeah, I agree. He has a tough task of adjusting his play to account for the defenses adjstments. We'll see if he's capable, but I too have my doubts.

I don't know many who are all in on him. Most think he's struggled and needs to play better but they're willing to give him the season before writing him off.

How do you have an issue with the post snap read? Do you know his progression for this play? If Goodwin is his first read and he's wide open TT isn't going to take the time to scan his other targets, he's going to make the throw. The problem was a combination of the throw and Goodwin's lazy route. If Goodwin makes a hard cut instead of rounding it off the throw doesn't look nearly so bad and perhaps he makes a play on it.

So the defenses the first two weeks didn't need to do this, his OC was already doing it?

Who said he's above criticism? Yeah, he had a bad game. But you're not just talking about the game yesterday, you're appearing to say he's a bad QB, overall. That just isn't the case. If you keep persisting with this you'll get push back. And it's not because people can't "think for themselves." I've watched Luck a lot. He's a QB who ends up making more mistakes than he should because he tries to do too much, but I can't really fault him for it. If he played it safe and just "did his part" the team would have almost no chance to win. That is a bad team overall. Horrible OL. Decimated in the secondary by injury and a bad defense in general, even before the injuries. How you can put the L's on Luck is beyond me. A good QB can not do it all himself, despite what you might have heard from the experts. Try thinking for yourself

Will he wear a headset this time?

There are fewer than 200 people who play WR in the NFL. That, alone, constitutes "one of the best in the world."

He didn't get his money, he's playing for it this year. He got a bump in salary for this year but it's far below the league average for a starting QB. If he wants real QB money he's got to probe it this year. It was a smart play be Bills management.

You're just trolling now.

The problem with hiring Rex is he wasn't a fit. The D scheme he wants to run was completely different than Schultz's and the Bills were going to have to overhaul the strongest unit on their team in order to make it work. The moment they hired him it wasn't going to be a quick fix. If they wanted quick they should have hired an offensive guy and then brought in a DC who ran a scheme similar to Schultz's (or retained Schultz if he was willing to work with the new HC.) Like I said upstream I'm not a fan of what Rex has done with the Bills thus far (though I didn't think he did a poor job with the Jets) but the last thing the Bills need to do now is fire Rex. Rex ripped down the old D, jettison some successful players in that D, drafted new players for his D. If they fired him that would leave us stuck with players that were brought in for this D that would likely have to be jettisoned when the new coach/DC wanted to install "his scheme." This is the carousel that keeps the Bills down and I'm tired of it. I'd rather keep a coach that I'm currently unhappy with and let him bring his plan to fruition than tear it down and start the whole damn mess again. Because the next coach isn't going to come in and have immediate success either and then there will be a giant bandwagon forming to fire his ass and bring in some other hot new candidate.

Rex is the 7th HC since the start of the 2001 season. Two coaches have quit, multiple have been fired and there was one interim. That is a coaching carousel.

Watkins is one of the best in the world at his craft and you are a guy who posts on a message board criticizing football players. Yeah, he's the loser.

This type of statement has been said for the past 17 years. THIS time a quick firing of the HC will do the trick. Not a fan of Rex but I'm also tired of the coaching carousel because nobody has any patience. Not sure which I dislike more at this point.

Where was this thread after last week's game?

It was a hail marry. Not exactly a high percentage play.

Not worried about the CBs at all. Its one bad game, it sucks but everybody has 'em. They were consistently good last year, no reason to think they suddenly suck because of a bad outing.

It sounds exactly like Dan Snyder . Next thing you know the Pegulas will be hanging out with Tyrod.

Good luck finding coaches who want to work for the bills if this is the type of owners that are here. No coach wants to work for owners to do this type of thing.
