Among the valuable things we learned today were:

1. Intensity and motivation from the HC do not equal discipline-

 

I really like the heightened intensity and motivational tone set by Fewell as the Bills HC. Its simply a welcome switch from the laid back style of Jauron. Perhaps if this was a vet squad with proven vet leadership (This failing is one reason I think they brought in Mitchell but he is a thin reed in this area as yes he was an important player in their SB win but he was not the/a pivotal team leader or definite Pro Bowler to lead the young team.

 

However, while I do like the practice in pads and the more aggressive play calling of fewell vs. Jaurom, the huge number of false starts and other penalties demonstrate that a fresh start with a new HC and OC next would probably help in moving the team to a new practice of better discipline.

 

2. Neither Fitzy or Edwards could move this teams of cut down on sacks indicating that while we clearly need OL experience we could use hiring a new OC to initiate a better offensive approach and style for this team.

 

3. Though it is a third priority in terms of getting more offensive production (a new HC and a new OC are higher priorities than acquiring a specific QB it looks pretty doubtful that either should be expected to rejuvenate this team) getting a starting QB is a definite need.

* Whoever is in charge of clock management on the sideline once again left for a hotdog and/or a bathroom break with under 2 minutes left in the first half. The Pats* (who were going to get possession again at the beginning of the 3rd quarter) score, and turn the ball back over to the Bills with the interesting combination of having time outs yet virtually no time left to do anything. 56 yard FG attempt ensues, with expected result.

 

* Perry - the tactical genius behind the brainless defensive scheme at the end of the infamous Dallas MNF game - again allows several DBs to play well off the line, evidently not quite understanding that a successful 6 yard pass to Welker (or to anyone) ENDS THE GAME just as quickly as a bomb to Moss would. Perry looks at his "3rd and long" chart there and sends out some kind of base defense like it's the middle of the 2nd quarter - oblivious to the situation - just like he did at the end of the Dallas game. Evil Hoodie watches, quitely giggling to himself as Brady hits a quick pass to bury the Bills, again. <sigh>

Once you saw the DBs moving off the line (on a 3rd & 6!!!!), you knew they'd convert and end the game.

 

They were basically playing prevent defense when they needed the ball back.

Yet, so many dopes in this town want him as the permanent head coach
