CosmicBills Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 No, it's just that a decade of mediocrity has lowered everybody else's, apparently. This. But I correct my previous statement that the bomb to TO was called from the sideline. Just heard the press conferences. It was a pass play called but Fitz audibled to the bomb. Kudos to him and San Jose for calling that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 This. But I correct my previous statement that the bomb to TO was called from the sideline. Just heard the press conferences. It was a pass play called but Fitz audibled to the bomb. Kudos to him and San Jose for calling that. Good audible. I still stand by my statement that Jauron wouldn't let ANYONE take that risk. Not AVP in the press box (or sidelines now, I guess), not Fitz under center, not anyone. In fact, doubly good audible, considering every tendency over the past three years has been for the Bills to run it up the middle in that situation.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 By definition. And if anyone going to use the pass protection as a reason Fitz's performance was "terrific", then you have to let the Edwards' supporters use it as an excuse for his horrible play. Can't have it both ways - either it's a factor, or it's not. I've never taken a logic course. But I would say that bad offensive line play is always a factor. Thusly, it can be an excuse for poor quarterback performance...and it can be a reason why a quarterbacks' performance was terrific rather than good...because he had more to overcome. But I understand what you are saying too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't argue with you at the time because it's not about us...it's about the live game thread. Also, there was the possibility that Fitz' pre-snap gesticulations were just dummy calls and not a true audible. Also, I figured the truth would come out in the post game. Regardless, kudos to you Greg for being a man of honor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rockpile Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 Good audible. I still stand by my statement that Jauron wouldn't let ANYONE take that risk.

In fact, doubly good audible, considering every tendency over the past three years has been for the Bills to run it up the middle in that situation. Didn't Fewell say he was starting Fitz over Edwardz because even if an audible did not work, Fitz was willing to act on a hunch, changing the play based on reading the defense? Isn't the QB calling an audible, based on reading the D at the line, preferable to using a time out so the coach can call another play? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
