Week 5 Observations

[PO'14]

First and Foremost, congrats on the win and keep it up!

 

Now onto my short analysis.

 

1) It has become clear to me that when Gailey sets a gameplan, he sticks to it for the full game whether it works or not. Last week against Cincy the gameplan was trying to win using the deep passes. Yesterday the game plan was Running and short passes. I dont have a problem with this but Gailey has to see that when something is starting to be ineffective, you must change it up. The only reason why the game was close yesterday was because Gailey stuck to the dump off. Philly already adjusted at half time and knew what was coming.

 

2) Jackson IS A STUD! Less Spiller, MORE SUCCESS.

 

3) The Defense played well in the first half, and made big plays in the second half when it was needed.

 

4) The D-Line did a great rushing job but often could not contain Vick. ( I do realize that VIck is now the best ever in rushing yards but I still felt that they overplayed before he even made a move to get out of the pocket )

 

5) What the hell did George WIlson Drink for the first half. Give some to your teammates.

 

6) Fitz is effective. Not always pretty, but a very effective QB

 

7) The O-Line was great again.

 

8) Im going to stick up for Moorman. Maybe he doesnt have the perfect touch to pin a team back, but no one can deny his leg strength. All season I see punt returners running back 10-20 yards to catch the ball because Moorman Kicked a bomb!

 

9) Many people dont like the D COordinator Edwards. I was pissed about the Eagles getting back into the game, but I need to know what Edwards could have done differently. Is it really him the problem or are we lacking talented players on Defense.

 

10) I loved the Smith TD. Very nicely done.

 

11) We need to use Chandler more. He has shown to be very effective and reliable

 

12) No one can say BILLS football has not been exciting this year. Im cheering for a playoff appearence but FINALLY weve got something good to watch until the end of the year unless we completely collapse.

 

 

Finally, it was great that the Philly Player jumped offside, but I would have rammed that ball down their throat. Show who the boss is! If you dont make it, no big deal, the Eagles would need a TD to tie. It all worked out well, but I would have loved to see NO MERCY and winning the game versus hoping somone jumps offside and hoping the D can stop the last drive.

 

 

Cheers all

Wilson is an animal. I'll eat crow on this one, as much as I didn't like Twittner I didn't think Wilson could be a 16 game starter for us. He looks like a pro bowler out there and its awesome

Yep, no vertical passing game this week, it was becoming obvious later on as the Eagle secondary was clogging up the short passing routes.

 

3) The Defense played well in the first half, and made big plays in the second half when it was needed.

 

4) The D-Line did a great rushing job but often could not contain Vick. ( I do realize that VIck is now the best ever in rushing yards but I still felt that they overplayed before he even made a move to get out of the pocket )

 

Didn't Bruce Smith look less that ordinary his first year or so? I seem to recall he wasn't getting it done at first...

 

 

7) The O-Line was great again.

 

Lots of credit to Hairston, but credit also to Gailey for keeping the O scheme within his players abilities. The O line has been a pleasant surprise this year, but I think it has a lot to do with the basic O philosophy, which keeps the line from being exposed - or to put it another way, the scheme fits the players they have now, not the players they'd like to have someday. This is a huge philosophical upgrade from the past decade.

 

9) Many people dont like the D COordinator Edwards. I was pissed about the Eagles getting back into the game, but I need to know what Edwards could have done differently. Is it really him the problem or are we lacking talented players on Defense.

 

Good question. As much as I love the O philosophy, the D is a mystery to me. With the player changes from last year - Merriman, Barnett, Dareus - you'd think the D would be much better than they seem to be.

 

11) We need to use Chandler more. He has shown to be very effective and reliable

He's gotten a good amount of touches thus far, but he may have been under utilized yesterday.

 

12) No one can say BILLS football has not been exciting this year. Im cheering for a playoff appearence but FINALLY weve got something good to watch until the end of the year unless we completely collapse.
