djp14150 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It seems this game came down to a few plays that went against the Bills.... 1. INT return for a TD 2. Spiller fumble. Based on the score at 41-28.....if these two didnt happen it would could been 31-31. Spiller fumble didnt happen Buffalo likely would have gotten at least 3 on the board...and not enough time for the jets to go down and get 3. The pick six subtracts 7 from the board. I do believe had the regular refs been in there you would have seen more holding and other calls to the Jets OL. Fitz timing/placement appeared off on the pick throws. Im old enough to remember the early 90s team (some of you were still in diapers)---they would always have one game that thinks just didnt go right. That happens to just about every team in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 So, you want to remove huge game changing plays, but everything else that happened after those plays stays the same? How does that actually happen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do believe had the regular refs been in there you would have seen more holding and other calls to the Jets OL. You're gonna get lots of people blasting you with "woulda, shouldas," but I agree. These games can turn on a dime in the early goings. It's part of why we watch - we just don't know why and when things will happen. The Spiller fumble could as easily have been ruled a drop, and if it had been ruled that initially, you can imagine it would have remained the call. As for the refs - you tell me. Did the Jets really play a 100% clean game until the fourth quarter when they finally had their first penalty called, or is it more likely they were holding at some point? (They were. And there were numerous missed hands-to-the-face calls. And you will keep doing these things as long as you can get away with them). No bias, but refs afraid to make too many game-changing calls, I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeezus, everyone's chiming in tonight with the postgame analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Hindsight Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Every game comes down to a few plays. The difference between average teams and good teams is the good teams are the ones that make those plays. The Bills were not a good team today plain and simple. I still beleive the team is better than they played today. Next week we find out the character of this team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 It was 40-7 and the jets slowed it down. We got own out. The only thing changing the outcome would have been if a different team was out there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobshaw81 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Same old ****ty Bills. So much for the high expectations. Chan should have taken the preseason more seriously and got the starters more reps against opponents second string for confidence. They need every rep they can get at this point. Its absolutely pathetic all around. The Jets own us. Offensively I blame Chan/Fitz. He's just as bad as Tebow throwing the ball. Has no deep ball whatsoever. The damn spread offense with its timing routes will never ever ever work with Fitz because he is too inaccurate. Gailey sucks and can't run a real NFL offense or adapt. And with our receiving core its an absolute joke to be in a spread. I would understand running it if you had Haywood Jeffries, Ernest Givins, Curtis Duncan, Drew Hill and Lorenzo White with a mobile, accurate QB like WM. When it gets cold, rainy, windy, snowy our receivers will most likely drop the ball or already be injured. Welcome to Buffalo. Get your asses under center and run run run with some playaction Chan you moron. So sick of seeing the shotgun and pistol every play. It will never work with the current roster, qb and receivers mostly. Spiller was the only bright spot I saw. Resign Vince Young, get Tavaris ready, do something to prepare and have a backup plan. Fitz is not the guy(VY wins games bottom line, 30+ Ws or around there, 17 losses, as a starter I'll take that Qb anyday). Tavaris would take much better care of the ball then Fitz. Defensively I blame Wannastache. He sucked when he was the head coach of Miami, and Chicago and guess what? He's still a crappy/losing coach and always will be. We tried to play the bend but don't break D but instead we played bend and break D. Great!! It seemed our philosophy was get pressure with 4 Dline men and for the secondary and Lbs to have solid coverage but that didn't work. Their gameplan was to have Sanchez get the ball out fast and take our D line outta the picture and play conservatiave. Wannastache had no answer or adjustments. They marched our D all around the field. No one made and plays. Leodis is still the same old bust 1st round pick. He's always tight in coverage but never turns his head around in time to find the ball. He was god awful, you think he would learn. Jermey Kearly, really man?!?! And of course its not a Bills game without there tightend(back-up) beating our LBs. Bruce DeHaven is garbage. Nix put together a decent roster on paper. That's all it is though until our coaches do something. Totally unprepared to play a NFL game and it showed. 0-4 in the preaseason was taken way too lightly. Hit the panic button, we are a crap team. And now the Bills want NY taxpayer funding for upgrades to the stadium. With all the money NFL makes you think they could front the cost. They can leave for all I care at this point. They have made me numb over the last 10 years+. Atleast our taxes would go down. Seriuosly how can people support garbage for this long of a time. Get real people with your high expectations. No wonder forbes ranked Buffalo in the bottom. We deserve it so Go ahead and bash me. I welcome it. Actually, I'll enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
