southernbill Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I would say today has made it obvious that the turnovers are the results of some good fortune on our part. Fitz was far from perfect today, but our defensive secondary would struggle to stop a decent high school team in the pass skeleton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan76 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 well, the bills were going in for the td to take the lead and fitz blew it. the d did enough to win today. still bad but they still gave the offense the chance to take this game.

San Jose Bills Fan Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 (edited) I said earlier this week, this team still needs another pass rusher and cornerback (2nd rounder Aaron Williams?)…  That said, in a game this close, you can point at any number of plays as "the deciding play" both offensively and defensively.

tonyd19 Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 This game should hopefully put to rest all the talk about how bad Merrimen, Kelsey and Williams have been or are. Absolutely no pressure from the d. Moats is not the answer outside. I think the d is a lot better than they have played when at full strength. Florence was absolutely terrible today, completely killed us out there. McKelvin and Mcgee need to be playing as much as possible. I am not that down though. For as many mistakes as we had and with a lot of injuries, the game was ours on the road against a pretty good opponent. We will contend all year long.

Â Agreed 100%. The offense blew this game away. The Giants were able to provide protection for Manning to throw and he threw mid-range to deep and they were successful. You cannot do much about that when there is no pressure on the QB. Florence was in a tough spot. Those guys are faster than him and without pressure on Manning, you cannot hold your side.

Geno Smith's Arm Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 It was a regular game. Most of these the Bills will win. Some they will lose. 10-6. They will be better on the road by the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Missing 2 of your best pass-rushers, having another starter who was playing well, and relying on a bunch of rookies and 2nd year players, when the zebras REFUSED to call holding, will get you what you saw today.

His two INTs hurt us. The Giants tackled better than us, made a few more plays than us and protected the football and came out victors. Congrats to them for a well deserved win.

The safeties played really well, so did mcgee. Florence was an absolute disaster. It's pretty hard to cover guys for 20 seconds every play because there was zero pressure all day today from the front seven. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The defense will be fine. It's not a dominating defense, but good enough to win 10 games, and maybe a playoff game against the right opponent. What else could anyone have hoped for coming into this season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EldaBillsFan Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I'll say this..... our defense kept us in the game late.....then they create the oppurunity to tie...then they create an opportunity to win...and they help and gave the opportunity to tie again....

I dont think it should put to rest anything about kelsay and merriman. and who said williams has been bad.? this defense played just as well today as they did with those guys in the lineup. McGee is a huge upgrade for us at corner. Florence was bad---but McKelvin wouldnt have done any better. In fact Florence's 1st pass interfernce saved a TD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Fitz had his absolute worst game of the year thus far. Took Bad sacks, held the ball too long, fumble, two picks on underthrows, bad throw on 3 rd and 5 . How badly he played today demonstrated with clear contrast how well he has been playing previously.
