Kirby Jackson Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 I was appalled by the game plan on both sides of the ball. The Pats have won 4 Super Bowls with short crossing routes and the Bills decided to concede them today. They kept the cuffs on Tyrod and committed 6M penalties. The design was brutal. If there is one place to point the finger it is at Rex & Roman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couple in the emotions being too high and this was the "bad Rex" week. Hopefully not many more weeks like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extremely disappointed that we sat back the whole first half and allowed them to do what they wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is one place to point the finger it is at Rex & Roman. And the penalties were generally of the worst kind -- signs of lack of discipline (all the personal fouls) or lack of preparation (remember the illegal procedure when one of the TEs wasn't lined up at the line of scrimmage? That's inexcusable). The holdings when you're clearly beat and stuff of that nature? I can take that. But not the ones that show mental weakness.

I mean, on that one TD to Edelman, they double teamed the guy and he still got open. Maybe they could have blitzed more, but not sure that would have even worked. I think when brady is on and you can't pressure with your 4, this is what will happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may burn you on the blitz, but he burned us anyway without the blitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there is one place to point the finger it is at Rex & Roman. After the first TD drive they crowded the line and challenged us. Roman didn't adjust by going to 3 or 4 WRs and getting the ball down the field. He stuck with his TEs and his game plan. Sticking with the game plan and not adapting when its not working is always a mistake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Gotta play bump and run and drop 7 or 8 guys. Makes no sense to rush 5. They won't get there. If you are going to blitz then you have to bring everybody. The steelers for years tried to blitz him and he just picked them apart. The only team that really hit him in the mouth was the Giants in that one super Bowl, and they did it rushin with 4. Yes sir. Drop everyone into coverage.

They knew that Tyrod wasn't going to throw downfield, and they were right straight up until desperation time. Tyrod out Captain Checkdown'd Trent Edwards in the first half.

They can't cover all our WR's and backs. Gotta throw more on first down and let Taylor run on designed QB runs more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's in My Blood Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Pretty much the whole game they were in the nickel and refused to adjust. After like the 5th drive of quick passes and no pressure, one would think they would start using press coverage and jamming they're primary targets instead of playing 4-5 yards off before the snap. It was absolutely maddening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could drop Hughes in coverage and rush Bradham and Mario. The LT will just stand there with nothing to do. Hughes and a safety bracket Gronk.

Yep Tell you what had me appalled: they come out of the half knowing that they need to adjust to stop Gronk, and the very first pass play sees him one-on-one with...Nigel Bradham? Really Rex? Also, the penalties. Just so many stupid ones. Can't do that when you know you're going to get a handful of questionable calls against you playing these guys.

It was absolutely maddening. Yup. They need to bump and run those little WR's. Even if they are off the line they need to be hit early. They line up Gronk out wide and the Bills refused to bump and run the slot guys all day. Too easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
