BringBackFergy Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 didenergy did the dolphins adjust that much? I agree and was thinking the same thing....a great offensive drive, and they can't get a TD....they seemed deflated right after that. The defense came out and gave up. This team lacks mental and physical toughness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) didenergy did the dolphins adjust that much? I think that this team has lost all confidence in their coaching staff. NFL players don't get rung up like that unless they are completely unsure of what they're doing. It's starts and ends with Chan Gailey keeping Edwards on as DC. Another problem, Gailey refuses to change his game planning and play calling. They run two plays, Jackson up the gut, and the 5-10 yard slant to one of the wide outs. Ever hear of the expression "shooting fish in a barrel"? The DBs are salivating just waiting for them to come across the field. Injuries to key players are a problem, but it's not of the getting blown out and blown up variety of a problem. The Bills should have hired Perry Fewell as HC.

MRM33064 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The first drive looked easy because, in part, one of the top RBs in the NFL was heavily involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Our defense was so bad in the first quarter that we simply deflated. After our first possession they steamrolled us. Miami made a few adjustment on defense and we never cpnverted a 3rd down all day. They beat us up on both sides of the ball. We went into the game without a legitimate NFL center. Just be thankful that Hairston did not get hurt or else our TE would have been playing tackle. Next week will be similar. Buddy Nix should be shot for letting this happen.

MRM33064 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 (edited) It's far from our only problem, but when FredEx gets 7 carries the whole game - 4 of which were on the first drive - it's not going to be good. The injuries are just redonkulous, which is another classic Buffalo Bills trademark, but using the few assets we DO still have would be a nice start. Also, a rhetorical question to ponder: How many bad snaps ought it take for a coach to realize that his backup center (or more fairly stated, the guy who gets stuck playing center) can't shotgun snap?

Wagon Circler Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 After the opening drive, they took away the screen, which is one of the three plays in Chan's playbook. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Once Miami made it 7-3 the offense took the field with the mindset of pass, pass. They should have come out confident and stayed with the gameplan but it seemed like thet paniced a bit and tried to answer quickly. Once the D allowed another quick TD then the gameplan had to be thrown out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st. pete gogolak Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Horrible pass on the 3rd and 2 to Johnson. Should have been an easy first down, probably a touchdown. Does that change the outcome of the game. Yeah, it makes the final score 35 - 12. First four possessions of the Dallas game, the D gives up four touchdowns. First three drives of Miami game, D gives up three touchdowns. Not to the Packers mind you. The Dolphins and Matt Moore!!!! That's just bad beyond belief.

fan_in_tx Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Any of you DVR the game I encourage you to go back and look at the first drive. The main reason we had success is the dolphins over per-sued on many plays. The first slant to CJ was a good designed play for positive yards. On the inside handoff to Fred Dolphins defense was all in the backfield he had no chance. Our O-Line does not blow anyone off the line of scrimmage. The Shovel pass was very fortunate not to get stopped for a loss. Our oline was suspect at the beginning of the season and we had success as Fitz made quick reads/throws to open receivers who caught balls which are now being dropped. Receivers are now being jammed at the line which throws off the timing of the quick throws and our O-Line is now exposed again. It all starts up front .... One thing I am tired of seeing however is our receivers running 9 yard curls on 3rd and 10. Maybe a 11 yd curl would work better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
