Time to descend from the clouds

[bladiebla]

Guys,

 

Great win, but it seems we're getting ahead of ourselves here. We're actually positioning ourselves as favorites over the Patriots**(**) here it seems. I think that's a bit early.

 

1. Luck was able to move the chains dinking and dunking, something Brady**(**) excels at.

2. Gronk.

3. Even through all those blitzes, Luck was able to dink and dunk.

4. Belicheat**(**) has been running on us successfully before and the run D is not proven yet.

5. RT is going to suffer against Nikoblahblahcheater

6. Chandler is a thread in the NE**(**) offense, whether we like it or not, sure he isn't Gronk but remember the days he saved for us

7. Blount always has a great game against us

8. It's only TT his second NFL game, Belicheat**(**) annihilates rookie QBs (granted he didn't look the rookie one bit)

9. Graham won't play yet, he was out with that hit and they'll be forced to set him inactive

10. Rex seems way too confident facing NE**(**) hopefully this doesn't translate to the players or the crowd

11. The Patriots**(**) D might be able to do some damage

12. O-line was struggling to get the running lanes opened

13. They always find a way to cheat

14. They will get away with tons of holding again

15. The refs and the Patriots**(**) are sitting in a tree...

 

On the flip side

1. We'll have Dareus back.

2. The NE**(**) CBs look shaky

3. Special teams play

4. True test, if we beat the Pats**(**) in any fashion close to what we did with the Colts, oh boy, oh boy

5. Chandler is always good for a major turnover when it matters most

It was an exciting win. People deserve to be happy. That being said, I think a majority of fans and members understand what lies ahead. I absolutely see the challenge next week, but it is hard to not discuss our advantages as well

[John from Riverside]

Guys,

 

Great win, but it seems we're getting ahead of ourselves here. We're actually positioning ourselves as favorites over the Patriots**(**) here it seems. I think that's a bit early.

 

1. Luck was able to move the chains dinking and dunking, something Brady**(**) excels at.

 

Because we allowed it. We WANTED them to do that to waste time off the clock after we had dominated the 1st half. This game absolutely was not close. That does not mean we are going to dominate the patriots I would never predict that.....but we gave them the short passes on purpose.

2. Gronk.

Who Rex has been pretty good against in the past.

3. Even through all those blitzes, Luck was able to dink and dunk.

We stopped blitzing in the second half....didnt u notice?

4. Belicheat**(**) has been running on us successfully before and the run D is not proven yet.

Past is past my friend....get with the now

5. RT is going to suffer against Nikoblahblahcheater

?

6. Chandler is a thread in the NE**(**) offense, whether we like it or not, sure he isn't Gronk but remember the days he saved for us

Also couldnt block worth a damn and got ragdolled by corners

 

7. Blount always has a great game against us

And he still might.....but once again.....Rex Ryan....top 10 in run defense historically and that is not by accident.

 

8. It's only TT his second NFL game, Belicheat**(**) annihilates rookie QBs (granted he didn't look the rookie one bit)

I am quite sure that the game plan on offense will be the same as it was against the colts......more run then pass......and to be honest the patriots looked horrid against the run week 1

 

9. Graham won't play yet, he was out with that hit and they'll be forced to set him inactive

Good thing it looks like we have solid depth

 

10. Rex seems way too confident facing NE**(**) hopefully this doesn't translate to the players or the crowd

Maybe because he knows how to beat them?

 

11. The Patriots**(**) D might be able to do some damage

Not based on what we saw week 1

 

12. O-line was struggling to get the running lanes opened

New system.....but did get it done when it mattered? Lets not act like the Colts game was close

 

13. They always find a way to cheat

I really dont know what to say about that.....its not part of football and you can bet Rex and crew are all over it

 

14. They will get away with tons of holding again

Probably....that is actually my real concern for the game....however somethign to think about. The patriots are no longer the NFL's darling after all the cheating....

 

15. The refs and the Patriots**(**) are sitting in a tree...

The refs work for the NFL

 

On the flip side

2. The NE**(**) CBs look shaky

3. Special teams play

[EmotionallyUnstable]

9) you don't know that's true

[bladiebla]

9) you don't know that's true

 

True, but if you look at his eyes right after the hit they spin away. He took a serious blow to the head and with the new concussion protocol and neutral evaluation of it I sincerely doubt we'll have Graham on the field. I hope we'll have him but I'd say there is a 75% chance he'll be sidelined for 1 week.

That's fair, but I wouldn't count him out just yet. He would be a big loss for us, especially vs. NE

You can also proofread it yourself. It's sort of expected..

 

As for the thread content, really?? YOU'RE the voice of reason to the region? 'Goodwin isn't ready'. That's a reason for decenTing? Has he ever been counted on? We didn't even acknowledge our highly paid for 1st Round pick from '14, but McRib is cause enough to stop being thrilled we demolished a Super Bowl contender?

 

I wish I would have stopped at the Thread title..

[NoSaint]

We will see on graham - hits to the head are terribly unpredictable.

 

Remind me which days chandler saved?

[GunnerBill]

I think Graham will be inactive sadly. The protocol is pretty strict there are no chances taken these days.

Who Rex has been pretty good against in the past.

Rex is 1 for 7 or something to that extend in the last years...

3. Even through all those blitzes, Luck was able to dink and dunk.

We stopped blitzing in the second half....didnt u notice?

We were still sending 5, didn't we?

4. Belicheat**(**) has been running on us successfully before and the run D is not proven yet.

He wasn't that bad.

7. Blount always has a great game against us

And he still might.....but once again.....Rex Ryan....top 10 in run defense historically and that is not by accident.

Depends on what years you look at

8. It's only TT his second NFL game, Belicheat**(**) annihilates rookie QBs (granted he didn't look the rookie one bit)

I am quite sure that the game plan on offense will be the same as it was against the colts......more run then pass......and to be honest the patriots looked horrid against the run week 1

For sure, I doubt the run/pass distribution will change much over the course of the year even

9. Graham won't play yet, he was out with that hit and they'll be forced to set him inactive

I'm not sold on Rambo (he had a good game) or Duke personally

10. Rex seems way too confident facing NE**(**) hopefully this doesn't translate to the players or the crowd

Based on what? The Rex PR machine? What is Rex his overall record? What is Rex his record when you take out that one season?

We'll see, see my point with Henderson

The Colts aren't the Patriots. I honestly think that this is a crucial part with the run pass ratio we deploy.

Heh, I was just cheap shotting, they earned it.

I'm presenting a thread with a deliberate negative view, as you could have have guessed from the (intended) thread title. Which was fixed after my oversight. The purpose of the thread is made further clear with the first sentence. Counter balance the positive.

 

'Goodwin isn't ready'.

 

Goodwin? Who is talking about Goodwin?

 

That's a reason for decenTing?

 

Wow

 

Has he ever been counted on? We didn't even acknowledge our highly paid for 1st Round pick from '14, but McRib is cause enough to stop being thrilled we demolished a Super Bowl contender?

Rex is 4-9 against the Pats* in the last 6 years, which is more wins than all of the Bills coaches combined this Millennium

[Buffalo_Lobsters]

I enjoyed watching yesterdays game more than any football game in the last 20 years (Expect maybe for Pats SB losses).

I will keep my head in the clouds for a couple more days.

 

I live in Maine and watch the Bills - Pats game with a bunch of Pats fans.This is the 1st time I think the Bills can win!!

[r00tabaga]

That escalated quickly

[bladiebla]

Rex is 4-9 against the Pats* in the last 6 years, which is more wins than all of the Bills coaches combined this Millennium

 

Take away the 2010 season and we're looking at 1-7 (1-3 of those games within 1 score). It's not like Ryan has Bellichick his number as of late. Rather the opposite, it seems that Bellichick seems to understand how to counter Ryan's gameplan. Bills coaches are 2-6 2011-2014.

I saw a stat where Billecheat is only 5-5 against new QBs away. Not exactly stellar.

 

Guess where the Pats had the most trouble against the run? To the outside. Who is one of, if not the best, runner to the outside? McCoy. We'll see Sunday.

Rex not always solid against the run? "Depends on what years you look at?" Um...

 

Okay, let's look at the years.

 

Beginning in 2005, in his first year as D coordinator with Baltimore, through his time as HC with NYJ, here's where his defenses have ranked in the NFL in YPA:

 

1. Ninth
2. Second
3. First
4. Fifth
5. First
6. Fourth
7. Seventh
8. Twentieth
9. First
10. Sixth

So, yeah. I guess if you look at that ONE year, his run defenses aren't always top 10. Never mind they were top-5 six times and number one three times.

Hmmm, jeah, I stand corrected. When we had Petine I looked up Rex his defense against the run and that number stuck I guess. Glad to be wrong on that one. \o/

[pocoboy]

Some people seem to forget Robey, Rambo, Williams, and Butler jumping all of those shallow quick reads in the first half and beating the crap out of the WR's (which eventually sent Hilton to the showers). And the 3rd Quarter was eaten up by the Colts drive, which was exactly what Rex wanted to do. They were going much more traditional in their pass rush and playing zone to keep things in front of them.

[John from Riverside]

Your wrong on a bunch of them

[bladiebla]

Your wrong on a bunch of them

 

At least I'm not claiming that someone with a 1-7 W/L ratio knows how to beat them, even the Bills did better with 2-6 over that same period. Let me get it straight though that I pray that Rex is able to improve on his record against them, starting now.

[Gugny]

Scott Chandler has four fumbles. In his career. He also matched the single-season record for TDs by a TE in Buffalo ... twice ... on very crappy teams.

 

I'll never understand the Chandler hatred by Bills fans. I loved the guy.
