John Gianelli Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Seemed like we faced a lot of 2nd and longs yesterday, so I took this from the ESPN play-by-play of yesterday's game. Here's what the Bills gained (or lost) on 1st down: 5, 3, -3, 0, 2, 2, 3, 0, 0, 11, 0, -1, 8, 4, 6, -1, 0, 11, 1, 11, fumble, 44, fumble, 2, -2, 24, -4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNYfan Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I believe the offense really misses John Brown. When he is out, the whole thing looks more difficult. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Yeah, the offense wasn’t really that sharp yesterday. Luckily the defense ant ST picked up the slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. I think he’s the only real true speed option on the team. Diggs can win deep, but he’s not necessarily a burner. McKenzie is almost more quick than fast. And no need to talk about the running backs. If we add one thing offensively this off season I’d want a depth option with speed added to the offense, particularly at wideout.

Heathcliff Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I noticed this and mentioned it during the game also. Your stats back it up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skibum Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 That's an average of 4.7 yards on first down. Is that bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So an average gain of 3.15 yards (taking out the 44 yard play), or 4.67 if you include the 44 yard play. Not great. But also not the end of the world. The most concerning bit is the two fumbles, but the down has nothing to do with fumbling it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure you're a great guy but that trade of Bob McAdoo for you and lots of cash was the beginning of the end for my beloved Buffalo Braves. Would have loved to have you as a backup to big Mac, just not as "the man". 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then I didn’t. Those were the days indeed. My dad split season tickets with three other families as well; we each went to 10 home games a year back in the 70's back in the old Aud. Such a fun team to watch with big Mac, local Buff State star Randy Smith and Columbia grad Jimmy McMillan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha! That's a great anecdote! The old Braves drafted a guy in the 1st round (ugh!) out of Princeton named John Hummer. He was, to put it mildly, a bust. Dad and I referred to him as "Hummer the bummer." Gianelli was a superstar in comparison to Hummer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
