bowery4 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I like to think of what you are talking about here as a "Bills moment". Sort of like a senior moment thing. But no, for some reason I know lately that this is a different team. My team is past that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 5.) FITZPATRICK'S ACCURACY - While I still believe in Fitzpatrick being the franchise QB of this team, it seems when Fitz faces a stiff pass rush, which he didn't face often in the first three weeks, he is very erratic. 4.) Avoiding the injury bug - I know, easy to say, even harder to do, especially for the Buffalo Bills. We've lost a game-changing punt returner (again) to IR, our best corner for god knows how long, our starting LT and a promising rookie CB. Seemingly, year after year, the Bills are at or near the top of the NFL in injuries. 3.) Backups need to produce when called upon - When the injury bug DOES bite, the depth chart needs to step up and respond. So far - SO BAD. Parrish goes on IR. BACKUP PR - C.J. Spiller: I don't exactly know what his average is on PR's, but it can't be good at all. He seemingly runs into tackles everytime he isn't fair catching the ball. Good NFL teams have good special teams that can change games. McGee injured. BACKUP CB - Leodis McKelvin: Oh, where the hell to begin with this guy. The guy that is the self-proclaimed "X-Factor" may very well be the worst cornerback I have ever seen. Not on the Bills, I mean EVER! A.J. Green made this guy look like he belonged on the 3rd string of an XFL team. Bottom line: Every team has injuries that they have to deal with, but the contenders have the depth to stay afloat throughout the season. 2.) Running the football more - Okay, so the spread offense worked for the first three weeks...when Buffalo wasn't facing a pass-rush. I can guarantee this, each and every week from here on out, teams will blitz the Bills more. When Fitz has time, he's great. When he doesn't, he's boarderline terrible! And Cincinnati proved that yesterday. Add the fact that Demetrius Bell is banged up, and it could get real ugly real quick. Eventually, the Bills need to try to run more to set-up some play action. 1.) Establish a CONSISTANT pass-rush - How long has this been an issue? The last credible pass-rusher the Bills had was Bruce Smith. And by credible, I mean someone that opposing teams had to game-plan around. Yet, the Bills fail to address this need every-single year seemingly in this playoff drought. Say what you will, but this, besides QB play, has been the biggest problem this team has had in this 11 year span. Plain and simple, if the Bills do not find some way to rush the opposing QB, they are doomed...AGAIN! Good analysis!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dayman Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Can't agree with you on this. If Fitz plays like that every week, the Bills will be under .500, unfortunately he played like this for many stretches last year and had trouble with his accuracy. He didn't play great but that happens to anyone. I'm not saying he's some Tom Brady....but we can have the best season in football...and then be plenty capable of winning 3 or 4 post season games with the Fitz we have now as is. He's shown it. Just protect him and drop a run in from time to time. Also...defense should try defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
