Mike Rodak is an idiot


Recommended Posts

Was just on ESPN saying that the offense bounced back last night and it is really the defense :doh: . What ! a defensive TD and two bombs doesn't make a good offense. the D is bad but the O is worse.

 

They are firing up the fire rex narrative. They were waiting for this moment. Now they can write and talk about every single move Rex makes in anticipation of it being related to him getting fired. And they will make money off of it. That's why they love Rex.

Here is the truth about the game last night:

 

1. Defense was bad. To be fair, it was missing its most talented player and 3 other expected week 1 starters. It was also facing a ton of pressure having to be on the field for a ridiculous amounts of time because the offense left the field quickly in the first half from either quick score or a unsustained drives. At the same time, the scheme itself looked bad, I mean it was like the safeties were ghosts out there. Hard to say how much of that had to do from the missing personnel and getting wore out never getting off the field, but overall, the secondary was torn apart and was frequently in bad position.

 

2. Offense was more bad than good. Offense had a few bright spots, and we got a couple scores in those few bright spots. However, overall, the play calling was utterly atrocious, the effort from some of the guys TT threw too was piss poor (Clay I am still furious over that 3rd down where you ran your route straight out of bounds and didn't even look for the ball TT threw right into your butt that you should have caught for a first), and TT more often than not looked uncomfortable and didn't see multiple opportunities or flat our missed them.

 

The team did battle back, but that battle back was more built around a couple of big plays rather than a consistent team making plays.

 

Overall, I havent been that disgusted with an OC since that POS Hacket was here. I mean throwing bombs on 3rd and 1 or getting too cute on 3rd and 1 all game long is how you lose football games and put even more pressure on your D. His run schemes are terrible too and he has no clue how to get the most out of McCoy. Any OC who isn't getting a min of 10 attempts to Sammy and 10 to Clay every game shouldn't be coaching as those are our only 2 real receiving weapons. Woods is a 3rd string WR at best who never seems to keep his feet. Goodwin is a deep threat specialist with the talent to be more but the body who can't be more because he can't take the hits. So if you aren't throwing 10 times a game to Clay and Sammy then you need your head examined as an OC. Not to mention, Roman seems to have no idea how to actually run plays for those guys when he does.

 

I gave Roman credit last year, but man he has been bad this year. All the things he did last year that irked me have become the norm this year. At least last year, there were a lot of other positives to over shadow the dumb calls.

 

PS: This team misses Karlos Williams...a lot. McCoy is NOT a power back. Hopefully Williams can come in and fill some of those shoes.

The defense had more than enough opportunity to get off the field. The Jets were over 70% on third downs, and converted many 3rd and longs. The defense's problem was the cover 1 that Rex stupidly believed the Bills CBs could handle. Fitzgerald was throwing into tight coverage, and the DBs couldn't make the plays.

 

You would think after the first half, Rex and Rob would figure this out, but the Bills stayed in cover 1 or man 2 for most of the rest of the game.

 

The Bills defense lost that game on 3rd down last night, playing schemes that their secondary personnel couldn't handle.

I can't blame one side more than the other. Ignoring the kneel down at the end of the half, the defense forced one fumble and two punts. Other than that, every single drive produced points. Time of possession is going to impact that a bit, but that is a very consistent lack of results from the D drive after drive.

Agree. That Power back was def missing. I thought J Will could take over for Karlos but hes injured. Also Sammy was visibly injured out there. I dont think he woulda been able to make 100 recs last nite.

Just a point, Alphadawg, it *was* on them not to get off the field on the two long drives in the 1st quarter, right? I mean, the Jets received kickoff, so if the D was on the field almost 9 minutes that first drive, it's totally on them to get their own butts off, right? And if the O gets off the field 'cuz they score immediately - same deal, get your own butt off the field, we just scored! The Bills D during the K-Gun years would laugh at them!

Yo about the defense being on the field for a "ridiculous" amount of time. Would they not be on the field for a "ridiculous" amount of time if they actually did their job and didn't allow the Jets to march at will all the way down the field? I am sick and tired of people using Defensive failure as an excuse for their own failure.

Blaming the CB's for last night is wrong. The lack of pressure on Fitz was incredible. He was taking deep drops on almost every play, giving his receivers time to make multiple moves and get open. There's coverage sacks, and there's protection completions, which is what we saw last night. In a scheme that's not playing safety help that is completely unacceptable and the lack of adjustments when it clearly wasn't working should have resulted in some defensive staff firings, if not executions.

Our local Cbus radio show talked about what a great game it was, so exciting, Tyrod was "very good", Rex didn't "have his guys" on D but they battled back etc.

 

Oh

 

 

:lol::lol:

It's like debating whether the garbage truck or the dumpster stinks more.

 

he thought the offense smelled like roses

There was no need to insult idiots like that, BB. No need at all.

 

:worthy::thumbsup:

Rodak did say the Bills could be 0-4 before the season started. So far he is correct.

 

has to be right once in awhile

It's not only them. It is every media person, including gameday announcers. I expect this too be mentioned with each and every Bills gameday announcers. Sunday AM sport talk shows, everyone. Unless it is just a local broadcast with say Tasker and company. I think this is do too Rex's personality One guy even mentioned Rex's "winning the offseason", and in particular his comments the day he was hired. They are eating this up. Lets face it Rex does not come off as a humble man.

 

That's the type of blowback you can expect when you talk big and don't deliver. I don't think it's even any kind of major media dislike for Rex. He craves media attention, and the bad comes with the good (which for rex is rare). Unless there is a major comeback this season expect more of the same. And the firing talk will only increase. deserved or not. Past that I expect virtually zero coverage on anything else Bills aside from Fantasy stats. The team is completely irrelevant and it happened after game 2.

 

I would rather have the team go on a 6 game win streak. Then have these talking heads say things like " hard to believe Rex was coaching for his job just a month ago" Even though I doubt he is today.

He's the kind of person that will say - "Well, Taylor completed 60% of his passes for 297 yards, 3 TD and only 1 INT, with a passer rating of 112, so he's !@#$ing awesome!!!"

 

I have never seen a QB get fluff stats more than Taylor and I can't believe how many people fail to realize that the majority of these sexy statistics have nothing to do with the few games the Bills have won with him at QB.

 

Rodak is a fool and so is anyone else who thinks that a) Roman was the problem or b) this team has a long-term answer at QB in Tyrod Taylor.

He has shown us that he's better than Taylor. Does that mean he's a great QB? No. It just means he's the best QB in Buffalo.

Rodak is the worst. He's a low paid beat guy, who took the job for what it reads on his resume (ESPN) than for the quality of the job. This is where the WWL saves $ so they can hire every recently retired athlete with no broadcast skills. Rodak roots against the Bills and it only frustrates me more when they're proven right. Betting that the bills will be disfunctional is akin to betting the grass will be green. Doesn't exactly make you Nostradamus.

This is so beyond absurd you must be trolling. He has done nothing to show he is even remotely in the same zip code as Taylor. Hence his place squarely on the bench. He is so bad Marrone actually quit an NFL head coaching job rather than go into the season with him as the QB.

I'm not trolling at all. And Marrone quit because he thought he would be in demand after leading the Bills to their first winning season since 1876. Him quitting had nothing to do with Manuel.

 

Manuel is smarter than Taylor. He reads defenses better. He finds receivers better. If you disagree with any of those statements, then you haven't been paying attention.

 

Everyone gets so enamored with the meaningless HR throws and the meaningless statistics. I get it. It's easy to do. But the truth is that Taylor is simply a very bad QB, as far as starters in the NFL go. He's a high quality backup.

If you actually feel that way then you have no eye for football talent whatsoever. If you feel that way then you think you have a better eye for talent than the last 2 coaching staffs who thankfully and rightfully buried EJ's ass deep in the bench. Your observation is patently absurd and to accuse me of not paying attention is farcical .

My observation is that this team sucks and this team's current QB is painfully inept. Your cute millennial catch phrases won't change that. This team sucks. And it sucks primarily because Tyrod Taylor sucks.

 

I don't know what this "eye for football" is of which you speak, but my eyes do work (better than my ears, but that's a different story) and if you think Tyrod Taylor is any !@#$ing good and you DO have an "eye for football," then you should get it checked.

Tyrod's ability to read a defense and complete routine 3 to 10 yard passes is farcical.

 

Hopefully this OC thing burns a fire under everyone's behinds.

Deciding who's better between Taylor and Manuel is really splitting hairs. Neither one is very good for different reasons. The one thing that makes Taylor an improvement over Manuel is the fact that Manuel turns the ball over likes it's going out of style. This is a very bad week for me to hear anyone praise EJ. The guy can't even execute a QB sneak without fumbling the ball. He's a train wreck. Edited by DriveFor1Outta5

I agree that this team sucks and Taylor hasnt played well thus far but then I step back and look. He generated 24 points of offense. It wasnt pretty but last I looked you don't get additional points for style? Were there broken plays? Yes.. so the fact that he is elusive and is able to extend plays to a point someone gets open (broken play) is a bad thing? The thing I take exception with is those calling for EJ after he has Failed time after time after time after time when given a chance.and then the have the balls to tell me I dont know what I am looking at which by the way is consistent with the multiple coaching staffs that have also seen his lack of skills and buried him on the bench. Oh and if his skills were desired you would think other teams would ld be sniffing around in the off season for him. If this has happened we have certainly not heard about it.

If we did bench Taylor I'm hoping that we would give Jones a chance to see what he can do. Brining out Manuel would result in the same W-L record we'd have with Taylor, and we wouldn't learn anything new. We already know that the guy can't even pull off a QB sneak. I never want to see EJ on the field again.

The things you mention about EJs strengths may even true, TT however has the better arm, is a far better athlete, is a more accurate passer and seems to be cooler under pressure.

Rod dick is a dick. Say what u want about EJ, I do, but the kid is a true professional and an all around class act not to mention a great teammate. He'll do well in life, football or not. Personally I think he'll start for someone at some point, by injury or otherwise and I think he'll be..ok, nothing spectacular but people won't be calling him a bum.

Anyone see this little gem yesterday?

 

@mikerodak

Tom Brady is on his couch, Jimmy Garoppolo is in the training room, and the Bills and Dolphins will still fall 2 games back in AFCE. Yikes.

 

 

I also saw a plethora of mouth breathers responding to it. Some act like he has to be a Bills fan to write about them. Mike's hilarious and so many fall for it.
