Max Fischer Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 I'm a Mularkey/Gray supporter but this team was clearly not ready to play. I think JP showed he's a gamer but too bad the rest of the team did not play with his passion. The Chief's game tells me that when the Bills have time to prepare (see 1st game) they are in-sync. What is it about the game plans? Too complicated? It's like Gray doesn't have enough time to explain his game plan and they fall back to blitz, blitz, blitz. As for the offense. Not the problem today, they HAD to score TDs. Too much pressure to score and not manage the game like the KC game. Bottom-line: Doesn't matter if we have Peyton Manning at QB, if the D doesn't show then forget about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 That is the bright side. JP actually played capable ball. Too bad he had to play flawless because the D was going to give up points every time it was on the field Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't actually watch the game and just looked those stats up. And if you did watch, you obviously need to improve your football knowledge because JP was not the big problem today.

And from what people are saying (who actually saw the game), the guy is doing that. That's significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerJ Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 JP could have avoided some of the sacks, but not most of them. The line play was horrendous. Most of that was the middle of the line. Jim McNally has to be called to account for some of that. Teague has to be dumped. It appears Mike Williams was a wasted high draft pick. Ross Tucker, the cheap guard Buffalo dumped to get the more expensive Bennie Anderson, was a better guard than Anderson by far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SnakeOiler Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Losman had 6 sacks, 3 fumbles (1 lost), an interceptionand 168 yards in 36 pass attempts for a heinous 4.5 yard per attempt average. This is today's hero? Thank goodness we got rid of Bledsoe and have a mobile quarterback now. 508228[/snapback] If Bledsoe was back there it would have been 9 sacks, more fumbles, and fewer points (no running to set up the TD). The high number of sacks tells you how much pressure he was under. Maybe one of those sacks you can put on JP. The O-Line absolutely sucked. Even when they went max-protect he was getting sacked. The O-Line, to me, seems worse now than it was a month ago. You should also consider the WR drops on a number of catchable balls. Nobody is saying he's Peyton Manning....we are pleased that he has made progress, and is clearly getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeOiler Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 RIAN LINDELL Hit a 53 yard FG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now THAT was amazing. Great kick, he really is having a good year, despite a few misses. I think most were ready to cut him last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough to avoid those sacks when Shawne Merriman is sitting right in your lap about .6 seconds after the snap. Also, if Josh Reed were an actual NFL receiver, Losman's completion % and yards per go up signficantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is today's hero? Thank goodness we got rid of Bledsoe and have a mobile quarterback now. 508228[/snapback] Stats clearly don't even begin to tell the story of how Losman played. He was accurate, threw the ball to the right places and was decisive and aware in the pocket. Night and day compared to his early season play, and very much like his play last game. The bulb might not be at full wattage yet, but the light is coming on. He threw a lot of quick passes that were on point, but defended because the Chargers were sitting on them. He made some nice plays on the run, including the long run that lead to the only TD. Not a great day, but a solid effort considering, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasker Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 our qb is not our best player. our punter is. 508411[/snapback] Very true. And we came inches from having that touchback downed on the 1. But JP was much better than stats today, and I am encouraged. I must have missed the third fumble, but the first one was a bad decision of changing hands to run and changing back to throw, and the second one (the one that was lost), was a bad handoff, which I would put on Willis. The INT was just being a half second late on the release of what would have been a good decision and was a well thrown ball. I was a big Bledsoe fan, but I agree with SnakeOiler that if Bledsoe would have been out there today he would have had way more sacks before leaving with an injury.

He isn't the best back, but he needs that attitude to become the best back, and he isn't far. The best back is hands down LT, the best player in football (despite the Michael Vick hype machine), and he only ran for 67 yards against the worst run D in football. Everybody has down days, and we should be very very happy to have Willis who is one of the best backs in the game. When we get our O-Line in shape sooner or later (off season) we will see just how dominating Willis can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
