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


Recommended Posts

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.

Along.those lines who's taking the heat for paying a RB with all that mileage a million a game to watch it in street clothes?

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

I was at the game TT did not play bad ---dropped passes , poor routes , and the list went on. I think his numbers were 278 yards, 2 td, 1 pick and he ran one in that was called back for a hold. The problem lays directly with Rex

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.

I get that Observer...you can go back to December last year and see i preferred a Roman HC/Schwartz DC combo.

 

that being said, i did not see anyone calling for Rex's head or "turning their back" on Rex last week.

 

Its four games, they have fugged up one in my mind.

 

BTW, I hated Tyrod on that last possession...but i also think a great learning experience and better against an NFC team. Way to many dumb throws into the middle of the field.

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

 

 

 

Last year some knowledgeable posters made this point. He's clearly not the player he was in 2009 before the injury and it shows. Together with the immobile Urbik and poor OT play it's hard to run the ball, which is what the offensive seems predicated on.

 

As the season continues I expect to see opponents attacking the interior OL, which will continue making it hard to run the way NYG did. Roman had a tremendous line in SF, but his OL in Buffalo is mediocre. I'm sure someone will say the Bills had injuries, but that's a poor excuse.

 

I think the offense needs to go back to the drawing board.

90% of this loss is on the sidelines with coaching and lack of discipline.

 

Karlos Williams can play ball but it was clear he wasn't making a difference. We needed pass blocking that Cierre Wood offered, we found out too late. Then Dixon came in and made some splashes so I would have liked to have seen him earlier.


I agree with you - particularly on #15 and #9. Not ready to turn my back on Ryan; but he certainly runs an undisciplined squad.

glad to see you posting. hope you and the twins are well!

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.

i don't know what "turn your back" means....to me it seems you mean to fire the coach...if not please define.

The biggest thing that this team can do is stop with the stupid, stupid, undisciplined penalties.

 

If they can also clean up some of their horrendous special teams gaffes (holding, missing field goals/xtra points, calling fair catch at inopportune times, trying to run the ball out of the end zone, etc), this team will continue to improve. If they don't right those two major problems in a hurry, I'm afraid that it's definitely going to be another long, painful season with no playoffs.

 

At this point, it would be foolish to turn our backs on the coaching staff, but a lot of this silly crap that I'm seeing going on is stuff that coaches can (mostly) control.

 

If the players are making stupid, bone-headed plays, you either ream their butts on the sideline after the play, let the other players call them out in the locker room, and/or sit them for a series (or even a game or two). Or all of the above!

Rex Ryan defense not working right now. Against Brady and Manning not even close to good enough. They will feast on crappy QB's. Could it be too complicated or players not ready in it yet?

 

Greg Roman really lost the game by running the same inside run on first down for the entire first half. Let Tyrod go downfield and let's throw on 1st down way more.

 

Injuries mounting. We have way too many guys out this early in the year.

 

Anger on players has to be controlled. I would have liked to see our linebackers make a tackle or two up the middle.

 

Let's also give Giants credit. Manning and Coughlin have won 2 Superbowls. We aren't beating guys like that with crappy play like we saw today.

The biggest problem with this team right now is that the coaches and players believe in themselves to such an unreasonably high degree that they think if they simply show up at the ballpark on Sunday, it's 90% in the bag. They don't have to prepare, they don't have to play smart and technically sound football, all they have to do is show up and things will take care of themselves.

 

Rex is the source of this destructive narcissism. He believes in his own abilities so strongly that he can't or won't invest the time needed to manage the finer details of the game of football.

 

It got him fired in New York and it might get him fired here.

Rex came into town as an aggressive defensive coach. He was a tutor to Petine, who turned the defense around. Not only that, he was reported to be having coffee at Tim Horton's with Bills Fans. What's not to love, right? He suddenly transformed to Dick Jauron starting with game 2. I have seen enough of the Levy/Jauron!!!

 

I don't want him to be fired. I would like to see him re-emerge into a coach who supports and demands an attack style defense.

 

Does this premise offend you?

Does anyone besides me miss Jim Schwartz? What is up with the D linemen who led the league in pass rushing last year dropping into pass coverage?

 

Tyrod Taylor was playing in his 4th NFL game as the starting QB, and I have to ask what happened to the Buffalo run game? You know, the run game that was supposed to lead the NFL in rushing with a run game play book bigger then any other run game play book in the history of the NFL?

 

24 rushes for 55 yards = a 2.4 yards per rush is embarrassing. then playing from behind Buffalo had to throw 48 times

 

Rex Ryan is starting to look like the Bills *hired the wrong guy.
