Inigo Montoya Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) I’m not sure which of them is the most important. I listed them in no particular order. Each of them answered a question about this team coming into Week 1. 1. Oliver; 5 QB hurries, 1 QB hit, 2 tackles, played most of the game on the Jet’s side of the line of scrimmage. He looks legit. 2. Bill’s run defense; 68 total rushing yards allowed. Looks like the run D is going to be significantly better this year. 3. Singletary; 4 rushes for 70 yards, averaging 17.5 yards per carry. 5 completions on 6 targets for 28 yards. Motor looks dangerous. 4. Allen leading two 4th quarter touchdown drives on the road. Didn’t get down on himself, rallied the offense for the win. 5. Hauschka 1/1 on field goals with a 43 yarder, and 2/2 on extra points. Our kicker didn't lose the game for us. Kicking game may not be a dumpster fire after all. Edited September 9, 2019 by Inigo Montoya 9 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoPar_v2 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Your #3 is important because it can never happen again. Motor getting 4 carries is a travesty. If Daboll and McD are going to gift Gore legacy touches Beane should just cut him too. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no problem with him getting 4th qtr carries to secure the ball but even then no time was taken off the clock. Hit the line and went down. I have said this before during the game but it is worth repeating. Gore is as old as he looks. Anyone that says he has fuel in the tank is including fumes because I dont see it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His use is going to completely depend on the matchup and is subject to a very change-of-pace approach. He'll gain equal yardage amounts over ground and through the air. I think it's perfect. I don't see the need to force him into an every-down work horse role right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think the Hauschka concern was overblown as even the best kickers go through funks once in a while. Some other questions that I thought were answered. -Milano's injury from last year didn't seem to impact at all as he was flying all over the field making plays. -John Brown answered the question of who the Bills #1 WR is going forward. -Sean McDermott will continue to maintain his clapping frequency. 17 minutes ago, JoPar_v2 said: It’s far from perfect if his RB teammates average 1.9 yards a carry.

Singletary has to be the guy now and he has to be the guy early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CSBill Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The win, Shady's performance yesterday, and Singletary's outstanding 4th quarter, save Beane from a lot of doubters and questions today. I have been all-in on Beane's moves, but this one I was not so sure about. Gore looked very average--and his play at the goal line was not 16 year veteran-like. I will not be surprised to see Yeldon getting involved as we go forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bladiebla Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hmm, if anything the RB play is raising more questions. Gore? Just 4 touches for Singletary ? Did we really use the passing game to setup the running game? Motor? Errr, 4 good runs against a D set to protect the pass. Lot's of questions here imho. Is it o-line based? Is Gore gassed? Can Singletary cary any real load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 More than anything else, I think the question of "Are the Jets for real?" was answered. They had three players doing everything - Bell, Crowder, and Moseley, and when Moseley got hurt, it was all over. They had countless opportunities to bury Buffalo, and couldn't get it done. That's a fragile team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwize the release of Shady was stupid Shady did look good yesterday. I think McBeane's thinking is that Shady and Singletary have the same running style. They are both shifty, speedy, illusive, video game style running backs, and I think they see Gore as the ball security, grind the play clock down, pounder. Keeping Shady would have been redundant and expensive with Singletary there. Daboll may see a Thunder and Lightning type set up with Gore and Singletary. I agree with you that Gore couldn't get it going yesterday, but the Jet's D is strongest up the middle. In the second half Daboll seemed to realize that the Jet's couldn't contain on the edges and started dialing up Singletary's number and Motor feasted off the edges. I wish Daboll would have noticed that sooner. Mosley going out at the end certainly didn't hurt either...

Even tough I don't think it was a safety - it was a terrible play by Gore "the most experienced RB in the league" to not get low and make damn sure he did not get stopped at the goal line. Yeldon catching some balls out of the backfield would add another dimension to the offense as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meanwhile shady gets 10 carries for 81 in KC. singletary looks great. He’s better than gore. He should get more touches. This game, he had gaping holes, while Gore had none Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Landing Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 A question coming into this game I had was how balanced our offense would be. I felt like a big difference between the first half, and the second was balance. The first half felt like a preseason game to me, where they didn't balance the scheme-- just throw, after throw, after throw. In the second half, the scheme was balanced, and much harder to defend.

SCBills Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I think Gore will be better A) as our OL gels and B) against teams that aren't as stacked up the middle as the Jets. It's worth paying attention to but hopefully this was a one game issue. Singletary was impressive. His vision, quick twitch, hesitation/acceleration was fun to watch. He also proved to be a weapon in the passing game after the early drop. That hesitation juke on the sideline in the 4th off the reception was beautiful.
