Schopp is a Bills hater and Sabres lover (here's my prediciton on his beloved Sabres... no Stanley Cup with Miller... he's overrated and incapable). And Bullfrog knows he's incapaable of matching wits with Schopp so he just agrees all the time. It's a joke of a radio station. Add in the drunks who call in and it's worthless.

BuffaloBillsForever Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I actually agree with them here...lol. Play calling wasn't the problem. The play just wasn't executed by the QB. 1 on 1 coverage, wr beats his man. QB just underthrew it. If we run it, people complain Chan Gailey is Dick Jauron, if we throw it we should have been killing the clock. Pretty easy to be critical in hindsight. The only thing to be critical with that play is Fitzy. Even in hindsight I actually don't mind the aggressive mentality of the play calling. Its who Chan Gailey and our offense is. We spread the ball out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffOrange Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 just a minor inconvenient fact.... Equally as minor and inconvenient is that keeping the clock running was more advantageous in the NE game where there was only 2 minutes left, vs. today where there was 4 minutes left.... But of course with our steel curtain defense 3 minutes wouldn't have been enough time for a Giants drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But of course with our steel curtain defense 3 minutes wouldn't have been enough time for a Giants drive. Against NE, Bills got the ball with about 3:30 left from their own 20. Pretty sure they're not going to run the ball into FG range. Fitz threw a deep ball to Donald Jones (said to be the Bills' fastest WR, and didn't play today), then followed it up with a screen and a short pass to FJ. 2 fairly low-risk throws. Absolutely terrible comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, chances are better with a 3 point lead and less than 3 minutes to go than a tie game and the Giants 4 minutes to go. I'll take the lead and less time for the Giants.

Absolutely terrible comparison. I'm not talking about the Jones play I'm talking about the Spiller play, where they went empty backfield at 2 minutes. Realizing that intermediate throws over the middle are never picked off and there is only one option for the QB on every 5wide empty backfield play, I'm sure you'd still think it was a terrible comparison if the LB didn't blitz on the Spiller play, making Fitz throw somewhere else.

BillsFanNC Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Fitz made a bad throw. End of story. Everyone can debate play calls etc., but the play was there and Fitz botched the throw and we lose as a result. I'm not calling for his head like other morons, this is the style of offense Gailey and co. brings to the table. Move on to the bye at 4-2 and look to beating the Skins.

"Putting words in your mouth" and "spin" - that's a nice cop-out. So you agree there was more than one option for the QB on the empty backfield Jackson throw and that he might've thrown to a deeper WR if the Pats didn't blitz. OK then, great, so now your busted argument makes even less sense. Inasmuch as I think Peter King is a pretty generic analyst who doesn't offer much insight, I've never been "all upset" about anyone criticizing him. I have pointed out that he picked us to the SB in one of the Bledsoe years in response to the "no respect" crowd who think he has some vendetta against Buffalo.

I have no idea what routes the WRs ran on the Spiller play - I'm pretty sure that you don't either. I do know that the Bills were at about the NEP* 40 when the play was run, which is to say that they were not in FG range. Once again, apples and oranges.

PromoTheRobot Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Everyone seems to be oblivious to the fact FJ gained all of 50 yds after his big 80yd TD. So the Giants had our run game bottle up.

Other than that, yeah, the situations were identical, though. Again, running clock is a much bigger plus with 2mins left than with 4, regardless of whether or not we're 5-10 yards out of FG range. I think it's pretty obvious why, but who knows if you actually disagree or are just arguing to argue at this point. I also think Brady is more scary than Eli regardless of what's happened previously in the game (as Brady showed yesterday) but forgetting that, not having much confidence in your defense yesterday is precisely why you call whatever gives you the best shot @7 points. As for King, hey if you can find me making critical posts about him, I'd love to see it. Is he related to you or something? Why do you take such offense to people criticizing his column(s)? I'm not the one who brought it up and is still obsessing over it however many years later; so why don't you find the posts where I took 'such offense'.

Having Stevie run a go route with man to man when he's already beaten his man twice before in the game was perfectly fine. Throwing a "safe" screen pass works for you because you're automatically assuming that the play goes for positive yardage. What happens if FJax get's stuffed 3 yards behind the LOS. That "safe" screen pass ends up backfiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
