bobobonators Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) I was a big Fitzy supporter when he was here in Buffalo, but looking back at his performances vs. the Rex-led Jets, he really had some clunkers: Overall Fitz/Bills were 2-5 vs. Rex's Jets. Fitz had 11TD / 7 INT (which is pretty decent), but an avg QBR of 30.1 over those 7 games (his career avg QBR is about 48), so it's clear that he struggled a bit more facing Rex's system. Lets hope it's 2-6 after Thursday (vs Rex)! Edited November 9, 2015 by bobobonators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeGOATski Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 When Fitz was here, the Jets always out-muscled the Bills. Plain and simple. They were more aggressive. Like the Bills have been vs the Dolphins these past few years. Nick Mangold being out is huge for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His QBR was substantially lower vs. the Jets. It is what it is; just throwing it out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Fitz had such studs as Donald Jones and TJ Graham, along with a defense that was expected to hold opponents with guys like Maybin, Kelsay, and Whiffler. I know QBs are a large part of every game, but they don't play the games by themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They struggled to run it on Sunday with Mangold missing I don't think their line opens up holes. Stop the run and put the game on Fitzpatrick's arm. Oh and defend the screens. If Fitzpatrick has to throw 25-20 yard passes all day and he shreds us fair play to him and this defense has even bigger issues than I thought.... but I suspect make him do that and he will gift you the killer mistake like he always has.

John from Riverside Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Fitz is wounded Fitz is very prone that throwing interceptions Fitz isnt as good as Brady, Manning, Tanny, or the red headed Cinci QB We need to shut down their run.....if we do that and be mindful that Fitz can also run he will turn the ball voer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockinon Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Can't wait to see one of Fitz's lame ducks land in the arms of Gilmore/Darby/McKelvin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 What makes fitz bad against the jets is his aggressiveness. He is looking to throw the ball downfield. So, I expect we will have chances for the blitz to get there. I will say it will be weird watching him and chan. Maybe it's because of all the other crappy years we had, but I loved those guys.

I know QBs are a large part of every game, but they don't play the games by themselves. I was a big Fitz supporter. This thread is not to belittle him..but he had the same players vs every other team he played, and his QBR was still substantially lower vs the Jets; not to mention that they were 2-5 vs. the Jets. The Jets weren't horrible, but they weren't the Pats either. Edited November 9, 2015 by bobobonators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 When Fitz was here, the Jets always out-muscled the Bills. Plain and simple. They were more aggressive. This. Remember Mario whining that Rex's rookie tackle kept punching him in the face? "He's wrong, plain and simple". The Jets beat us on the lines, both of them. So far, our D has not been the aggressive physical D I expected when Rex was hired. We have been whipped on D, regularly, and including this last game.

SF Bills Fan Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I think Fitz has a bad game Thursday. I like guy and will Always root for him, though not as much this year and certainly not Thursday. He is due for a real clunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like the Bills have been vs the Dolphins these past few years. Nick Mangold being out is huge for us. Wasn't NE missing their center? I understand Mangold is good, but our interior D line needs to punish them this week. I would like to see Fitz throw a couple pick sixes because Marcel is about to crush him.
