A Few Thoughts About The Game, in no particular order.....


Recommended Posts

1) Eric Wood is an inadequate football player. Seriously, he cannot play his position worth a s$@t.

 

2) When they blitzed Graham and/or Robey, it worked.

 

3) I think that I might be the biggest fan of Mario Williams on this board. That said, he provided zero pass rush today and I am not at all pleased.

 

4) Tyrod is said to have been nursing an ankle injury. Hopefully, this will explain the lack of rushing attempts. There is no need to treat him like a sacred cow. He needs to take off and run to play to his max.

 

5) I was losing time, I had nothing to do.

No-one to find, I came to you.

Wheels broke down; leader won't draw.

The line is busted, the last one I saw.

 

6) Don't get me wrong, I am THRILLED by the fact that we signed Clay. I do however wish that someone would coach him up to find the first down markers.

 

7) This is not about the game, but being a Bills fan is not for the faint of heart.

 

8) On one play in the late 2nd quarter, Kyle Williams lined up at defensive end. If this wasn't stupid enough, he dropped into coverage. Memories of Jauron were dancing in my head.

 

9) 17 penalties? No pass rush despite superior talent on defense? I am not there yet, but I am approaching the point of turning my back on Rex Ryan.

 

10) I am thinking that Glenn's inability to play well has been defined by injuries that we did not know about. I hope so, because Kujo wasn't exactly tearing up the field, ya know?

 

11) Do you know what Thigpen needs? I will spell it out:

A) A special teams coach who will explain to him to NOT call for a fair catch inside the 10.

B) A head coach who will take responsibility for this.

C) Both.

 

12) Darby continues to impress.

 

13) Marcel was NOT impressive today. For that matter neither was Hughes. Could they be weighed down by the 175 million dollars or so in their pockets? I hope not but I am willing to, at this point, blame it on the utterly stupid defensive scheme, and I point the blame right at Rex.

 

14) We are now in a must win situation next week. Nothing new to Bills Fans, right? Let us please prevail in London.

 

15) Karlos Williams can play football!!!!!

 

16) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So many thoughts...

Urbik was in for a while. Even I could see what a liability he is, and I rarely watch line play.

 

They showed a new defensive idea late in the game. They had a LB and CB both line up on the WR, The LB would chip him at the line and then head toward the middle of the field to do his usual assignment, and then the CB would pick up the WR as usual. This would throw off the timing and prevent those quick passes that can cause death by a thousand little gains.

Oline was bad today but mostly incognito (who had a meltdown) and did we even have a right tackle? Giants otherwise crappy pass rush was flying off the right edge all day

 

Hughes is a jerk

 

As much as I'd like to pin it on Taylor I cannot. The weak oline play, fumble by woods, etc, were not his fault.

 

Stating the obvious but a horrific lack of discipline by many players, which of course starts with the coaches. Had to feel sorry for some of the more composed players like Kyle and Taylor for how the penalties kept killing us

 

Way too easy to move the ball by running it up the middle on us

 

Horrible missed tackle by bradham on Jennings ....biggest play of the game IMO

 

Given lack of discipline from the coaches we need a take charge kind of QB in the huddle. But I don't see one on our roster.

bill, I usually refrain from responing in these threads...but cant hold my tonque this time.

Really?

 

I want to say more but will refrain. suffice it to say after 4 games you want to fire the coach...brilliant

Phantom holding on Urbik on Tyrod's td. Also, isn't a chop block when somebody goes after a player's knees? Incognito hit the guy on the hip, it's called double team. Two touchdowns lost on questionable penalties.

 

Bradham should've dropped that guy in his tracks.

 

The offense never got rolling till the second half. When the Giants got their pick, I don't know how that guy wasn't out of bounds. His back was out of bounds when he got possession of the ball.

 

The penalty on Preston Brown was weak. There was a scrum and he was standing up to get out of it. Gave them 15, then Hughes probably yelled at the ref and got another 15. Later on, O'Dell was jacking around with Preston Brown, and he reacted, and got called. first and goal.

 

The refs sucked.

When the coach leads with his big mouth, he needs to back it up. Penalties = bad coaching. No way around that fact.

 

Rex has a top talent defense and they don't look it yet. That's on Rex.

 

Bills fans are willing to forgive Rex his big blabbing mouth if they win but if they don't, his style is not one that reflects Buffalonians and will grow old fast.

 

No one is calling for him to be fired but as I have said a few times, he's on a short leash.

Small things add up with this group:

  • Carpenter missing a 20 yard FG
  • Williams trying to screen off a tackler rather than hitting him, Tyrod scores there
  • Woods fumble by wrestling for a few extra yards
  • Bradham's missed tackle results in TD
  • Henderson whiffing on a short yardage play- beginning to wonder if he is good enough

$25million+ guaranteed reasons he's here for a while

I like most of what you say but not this one. Taylor is much more dangerous with his arm (70=% completion percentage). They don't need him on the run except when he needs to.

 

There are a lot of problems from today. Taylor was not one.

Did I call for Rex to be fired? Why don't you continue to "refrain" from any response at all? Maybe the thread will survive on its own sans your poignant input. At least its possible.

Yeah, Taylor was one of the problems today. You think that was good QB play?

Kyle lining up at DE just about made me blow a gasket. And then Thigpen constantly catching it on the 8 and 9 yard line kinda trumped that. And of course there is 8 men in the box and we try to run--all damn game long. It was so grose we left with 8 minutes left. The same garbage that Rex did in NY he is doing here. He os a crap head coach. And your right ive always said Woods is a lousy center and well Urbik is a freakin turnstyle. Goodwin is still out with bruised ribs from the third, yes third pre season game and ive had enough of Sammys ****. Damn this team cant get it right.
