Campy Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 It's really a 2 fold process: 1. There has to be some blocking - which has been sorely lacking the last couple of seasons. 2. There has to be a return man who is not only fast but able to read the field and make "football moves." A. Brown had one but not the other 2. He simply couldn't set anyone up to be blocked and rarely made an unblocked player miss. Both Nate and McGee have that - and now they are getting blocks. BTW, Lindell made 2 tackles on returns yesterday after his teammates whiffed. He's been much better this year than last in every facet of the game - though he's hardly great. 56829[/snapback] 3-fold. I'm not sure what the problem was in StL, but Bobby April's coverage and blocking schemes seem to be spot on. Obviously great schemes with stevestojan players don't work, so hats off to the guys that execute them for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do what it takes. I remember when he was winning SBs with the Giants and Carl Banks, Pepper Johnson, Gary Reasons, & L.T. were regulars on special teams.

The game within the game that so many of these color guys (like Phil Simms) completely miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodnarb Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 can't argue with any of that except for maybe the moulds thing. i want fuggin HEARINGS on the NFL calls against the bills and non-calls against our opponents. If you stretch it out over the past 6 years, the data will be incontrovertible. harrison's hit on neufeld was clearly 'hitting a defenseless receiver'. 15 yards, first down. Nope. Fletcher's calls were complete BS. No wonder Brady has stayed healthy this whole time. The Refs feel paternally responsible for his head. The two mysterious holding calls vs the raiders that even belichick said were BS. It goes on and on...we could compile a long, long list. Then I'd like to see other team's fans compile THEIR list. I'd bet anything that over a fixed term, our list would be longer, more memorable, and the calls more impactful to the outcome of the games. -mulder (seriously tho) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 Great points Alaska. You saw the game much the same way I did. I agreed with all points emphatically but two (strongly disagree with the Moulds and Jennings points). Well stated indeed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerball Posted October 5, 2004 Share Posted October 5, 2004 AD Fletchers hit on Dillon absolutely was a Personal Foul. As much as I hate Dillon and the Paytoilets it was a cheap shot. 56798[/snapback] My only disagreement as well. Fletche was too hyped up, and it cost us. The hit on Brady, unfugginbelievable.

Alaska Darin Posted December 7, 2004 Author Share Posted December 7, 2004 Some of this has been posted here already (not surprising). 1. Mularkey is a rookie coach. Belichick isn't. Welcome to the difference in the game. Case in point: Brady completes long pass on first drive. May not have been a catch. NE runs up to the line and runs a QB sneak, denying BILLS a replay opportunity. Drew Bledsoe throws TD pass to Moulds. Moulds catches the ball but loses it when his elbow hits the ground. BILLS lollygag getting the special teams on the field and Belichick calls for a review. For once he doesn't get the call. If you're Mularkey, do you EVER leave something like that to chance? I was screaming at the TV as soon as I saw the ball rolling away to "line up and kick it." That was followed by "Get your head out of your ass, Mularkey." BTW, I still like the guy and think he's going to be good. 2. Travis Henry is a shorter, dumber, and more criminal version of Peyton Manning. Just good enough to get you beat when it matters most. Case in point: 3rd down with BILLS in the spread. Willis to Drew's right, TH to Drew's right. Fags toss the all out blitz (really?). Travis completely whiffs and Willis flips his guy 360 degrees in the air with a perfectly leveraged block. Oh, and Willis hasn't tripped over his dick on short yardage with the game on the line two straight weeks. 3. Schobel is driving me crazy. Why not just run toward the tunnel on every passing down? That'd be just as effective as what you're doing now. That big contract is justified. 4. Tom Brady threw like 700 passes yesterday, mostly with at least 5 guys (or more) in the rush. NOT ONE HOLDING penalty. Yet with the game tied and us driving toward the go ahead score, we get one on a short yardage running play? !@#$ YOU, NFL Officials. 5. Someone please explain to me why it is so difficult to swallow your whistle until the play is clearly over? "The runner was ruled down by contact" needs to be COMPLETELY stricken from the rule books. It is the most stevestojan rule in the NFL today and seems to be used to cover the constant mistakes made by old men. 6. If London Fletcher's "roughing the kitty" penalty on Brady on the first drive was valid, why is it that NONE of the Pats extracurricular activity (especially by Rodney Harrison) are penalties? Welcome to the double standard of officiating. 7. Both of Fletcher's PF penalties yesterday were total B.S. The throwing the running back to the ground was part of a tackle. There's no way he knew whether the guy had the ball or not. He makes alot of plays and if he weren't there, this team would be an absolute disaster instead of just a disappointment. 8. We have excellent TEs (sarcasm). Nuefeld has potential and Campbell threw a couple of decent blocks on running plays. Those are pretty much the highlights for that group. 9. Before this season is over, Drew is going to get someone killed with his penchant for throwing passes high over the middle. Not hurt. Killed. Nuefeld should be allowed to rush him in practice this week. If we're lucky, he'll hurt him enough to sit out a game - which might piss him off enough to start playing well. 10. Welcome to the NFL, Lee Evans. We finally see what I've known since his junior year. Dude is going to be VERY good. 11. E. Moulds continues to be an enigma. Million dollar athlete, $.10 melon. Loser. 12. We're going to miss Vincent alot more because of his leadership than his play, though that has been more than good enough. 13. McGee and Thomas are both going to be good players if they stay healthy. 14. Brian Mooreman is the most athletic punter in the NFL since Ray Guy. He is the best player on our team. 15. Thank you Bobby April for bring special teams back to Buffalo. I missed them. It was kinda fun to watch A.Vinny be reduced to kicking out of bounds/short to avoid our return game. It's been awhile. 16. Jonas can go now. His injuries continue to be the "unlucky" type. It's a matter of time until he blows our both knees sitting down at a buffet. Loser. 17. For all of you pining for an early first round pick, I say "no thanks!" EMPHATICALLY. There is no way I want to take a chance on getting another marginal player who eats so much salary cap room. We could have 2 VERY good OLineman for what Mike Williams is making. I wish TD would trade every first rounder from here on. 56774[/snapback] Ooh, I love "Turn Back the Clock Day!" #1 is specifically for JSP.

Dan Gross Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Why bother? Just be patient, he reposts the same crap every day... 150539[/snapback] Not really. He had us 10-6 pre-season, then "5-11 or 6-10" midway through. Drew as comeback player of the year pre-season, and, well, you know how he feels now... 2 of 3 wins on the road + St. Louis would get him to take the Bills seriously 4 weeks ago, now they still haven't proven a thing...
