Dorkington Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have to say, thinking back on the game... only two things concerned me: - Nate Hackett's inability to adjust. I don't mind game plans sticking to either the run or the pass, but really we need to adapt to what teams give us. The Jets were giving us the pass, and taking away the run, but we still decided to run the ball basically every first and second down, setting us up for some difficult third down pass plays (where the Jets knew we were passing, and could get a good pass rush). In the future, in such situations, I'd like to see us throw a couple play action passes on first/second downs, to keep them honest. - The run defense left a little bit to be desired today, not necessarily against their RBs, but rather against Vick and Harvin. We did better in the second half containing Vick, but still, we were exploited, and we need to be wary of that when we face the Jets again. Other than that, I was damned pleased with our game. Our DBs did a great job in coverage, both making INTs, and forcing the Jets QBs to hold the ball longer than they wanted. Our running game wasn't super successful, but it did enough to at least give Orton a clean pocket once in a while (though, KO took a few too many passes). Can't complain about 5-3 half way through the season. We have some winnable games in the immediate future, that we need to take advantage of... since we have some very tough games to end the season.

CodeMonkey Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) What it means: There are bad seasons, and there are really bad seasons. The Jets (1-7) shifted into the latter category, falling to a mediocre Bills team at home. It's one thing to lose toPeyton Manning on your own field, but quite another when it'sKyle Orton, who didn't have Fred Jackson or C.J. Spiller. This report seems kind of like a sore loser move to me from a Jets reporter. It really is correct though. The Bills D played well. However the Bills O, given fantastic field position and 6 turnovers, had a pedestrian day overall. Two long catches by Sammy accounted for a great deal of the passing yards. And on the 2nd one the Jests defenders gave up. Meanwhile, the Jests O was historically bad. Geno looked like I would out there But the bottom line is 1-7 versus 5-3 at the midway point!!!

26CornerBlitz Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Observations: Bills 43 - Jets 23 By Joe Buscaglia It wasn’t always pretty for the Buffalo Bills. In fact, at times, it was damn near ugly... again. But with only their fourth 5-3 start of the millennium on the line, they took advantage of the disinterested, unraveling and self-destructing New York Jets to assure a winning record through the first half of the season. Even with as many things that went their way early on in the game, the Bills couldn’t seem to finish off the Jets. When push came to shove, the Bills at last clinched the 43-23 victory. How did it all happen? Some observations from the Week Eight win: Predictability and the R.R.P. theory - In the NFL — especially on offense — it behooves head coaches to stay ahead of the curve and keep their opponents guessing while predictability in play calling is usually universally frowned upon. Against the Jets, the Bills really didn’t seem to care about how predictable they were being. Throughout the game, the Bills ran a sequence of run, run and pass on first, second and third down seven separate times. Of those seven times, five resulted in a fourth down. Another featured a defensive penalty that kept the drive alive, while the final of the seven was a touchdown after the first two runs. The Bills were playing with the lead the whole time, but it reeked of conservatism rather than burying the opponent while they were down. Quite simply, Buffalo was playing not to lose. Who does that fall on? Is it offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett? Is it head coach Doug Marrone? When you analyze both individuals, one should always err to the philosophies of the head coach. In more decisions than just play calling, Marrone has showed that he is one of more conservative head coaches in the NFL. To this point it has not backfired on the head coach, but if any common media member or fan can pick up on their tendencies with a lead, a head coach on a different team will do the same. The Bills were overthinking their approach in the second half to a large degree, mostly because the Jets’ secondary is atrocious and was waiting to be picked apart. The wasted possessions could have burned the Bills, but they got out of MetLife Stadium with the victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Bills cover unit not fooled on planned throwback There were reports by the local daily papers in New York/New Jersey that the Jets may have something up their sleeve this week on special teams in the return game. On Sunday the Bills were ready In the third quarter after a 36-yard field goal by Dan Carpenter put the Bills up by 10 (27-17) the Jets had a trick play called on the ensuing kickoff return. Bills kickoff specialist Jordan Gay kicked the ball nine yards deep in the end zone. As he kicked off the Jets had Percy Harvin in the right side of the end zone to return and there was another Jets player lying face down in the green part of the end zone hoping to go undetected by Buffalo’s cover unit. That player was T.J. Graham. Field position a big factor in Bills win Coming into Sunday’s game the Bills were one of the better teams in average drive start for their offense, and worst drive start for their opponent. Those numbers played out Sunday and were a key factor in the victory. Buffalo had what looked like a comfortable 24-7 lead in the first half, but by the time the teams were headed to the locker room the lead was cut to seven. After the Bills offense went three-and-out to start the second half the game was there for anyone to seize control. But Bills punter Colton Schmidt bombed a 52-yarder down to the Jets’ 19 and Larry Dean and Boobie Dixon wrapped up Jeremy Kerley for no gain on the return. Then a holding penalty on the Jets backed them up to their own 10-yard line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
