Doc Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 That's not going to happen for a long time. They better win a lot of games before that happens. Dareus comes back in a week and Lawson is expected to return after the bye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 (edited) I'll accept the game ball for the day. After years of speculation, it has been confirmed. I'm bad luck. This was the first game in years I haven't watched. I'm sorry everyone for a decade + of futility, but I will not watch next week. Let's keep this thing rolling!

Webster Guy Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Kyle was a beast, Hughes too but his stupid 15 yard penalty hurt us. Didn't cost us the win so I'm over it but I have never seen a guy get this many 15 yard penalties ever in my life. We did this without Sammy, Goodwin most of the game, Salas, Cordy and Clay. I can't believe it. Also I have a theory that touchdown Mike would have gotten 2 TD's and 110 yards just like Shady today if you had given him the same carries. He's a really good change-up runner I hope we see more of him. Wondering if Lynn was in charge of the offense in game 1 if we would have beaten the Ravens.

DC Tom Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hughes gets a lot of penalties, but damn, they are hard play penalties. Dude is a beast I have decided that I will forgive Hughes one roughing the QB penalty per game. He makes up for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PromoTheRobot Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Bills DBs were outstanding today. The defense as a whole made Carson Palmer look foolish. Also A-Lynn did a good job on short notice. Can he build on that start? Question: if Taylor gets the Bills to the playoffs with 150 yards passing and 70-80 yards rushing per game, is that a bad thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enough said - Is there a better thing than jet flyover at the end of the anthem - the stadium was electric right after that and helped set the initial tone - For others at the game - did they introduce Rex?

On the interception at the one my son started screaming "A safety is the worse thing that could possibly happen!" - and we actually started debating whether it would be better to just hand the ball off to a Cardinal for a TD and then at least get the ball back, rather than give up a safety to make it a two score game and give them the ball back right away (If there ever was a situation that called for 'Manual - QB sneak' that was it, but alas that play apparently left along with G Ro) - In other news - Fitz 6 ints? How in the world did we make him look like Joe Montana a week ago - It would be awesome if Belichick plays Amendola Edelman at QB next week if for no other reason than just to troll Rex.

As much as I hate the guy, if he does that I would actually have to respect his commitment to arrogance I was giving this some thought at the time.....I actually dont think that the safety was the worst thing that could happen...if you think about it we were up by 2 scores and the WORST thing that could happen was a turnover for a touchdown down there trying to throw our way out of that field position...... Instead....we gave up a safety but it gave us the opportunity to give up 2 points but get the ball out of their and play field position with the lead and the time in our favor. Still....gotta find a way to churn out a first down right there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TakeYouToTasker Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 For a split second today I get really pissed at Hughes for wiping out Lorax sack......who has been a unsung hero of this team. We expected Shaq Lawson.....we got Lorax.....now is Shaq going to be able to outplay him? He had better. The Lorax has played well in small spots, situationally, as a stop gap. Lawson was drafted as a game changer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were up by three scores, and the safety made it a two-score game, while giving them possession. It was potentially disastrous, the worst outcome for that possession aside from a turnover/TD.

Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 i can't wait to see the defense with shaq and dareus back Shaq will be a raw rookie if he returns this season, with NO camp of NFL game action. I expect little from him early on and they need to be careful how they use him with so little preparation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtDart Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 McCoy had a great game and I can't argue why he'd be your MVP. I just think the defense set the tone of this game and his pressure was the first part of it. No question McCoy was offensive He was the Offense. The D had another good game.

Right. It was a three score game at the time, not a two score game. Both the safety and a free TD make it a two score game - but in the case of the safety you give the ball right back, in the case of the TD you at least get the ball back. The odds are pretty nil that any team would give up the free TD in those circumstances, but once again it was just another interesting 'Bills' thing that the euphoria over something as positive as an int could then turn so quickly into a negative scenario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Fitz played one of his on games last week (karma caught to him this week) and the Ravens are good. Maybe the BIlls are good. Just been some tough opponents. The Bills still had a pretty bad offense. They were 4-13 on 3rd downs, couldn't sustain drives. The play calling on that safety was terrible. They knew the Cardinals were going to come all out. It almost cost us the game. There is still no offensive rhythm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I sure wish there was a way to determine if it was a Lynn instead of Roman thing. There seemed to be more short passes. The read option/sweep was working. Fullback blocking was better. Coincidence? I don't want trick plays...Let us make plays that move the chains consistently. We still can't figure out how to use Clay. It is really maddening. I personally did not see a big difference between Romand and Lynn. The only noticeable difference was running BETWEEN THE TACKLEs. No running east-west. It appeared to create a lot more opportunities...Not having Watkins hurt them in the passing game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Last Guy on the Bench Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I have decided that I will forgive Hughes one roughing the QB penalty per game. He makes up for it. I'm with you. We just have to accept that these penalties are part of Hughes' makeup. The reason we have to accept it is that he is a GREAT player. The best on the team, IMO, though a healthy Sammy or a weed-free Marcell could give him a run for his money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Surprised no one's talking about the offensive line. They were straight MAULING yesterday. I counted at least a half-dozen pancakes by Kujo, Miller, Richie and Mills - and I'm sure there were more that I didn't see. The line and Felton were executing crisply and perfectly against a stout front, it was beautiful to behold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
