AnthonyF Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Want to see more points..... San Diego's defense is not good. We did a good job of ball control and this was the first game in a while where San Diego turned over the ball, so kudos to the defense. Listening to Schopp and the Bulldog go on about TE is just way over the top. I too am very excited about him, but can I ask for 300 yards passing and 30 offensive points? Why is it considered such a big deal to score 30 points on offense. Before you jump on me, check Miami's and Chad Pennington's #'s vs. SD two weeks ago..... 22/29 228 yards and 167 yards rushing and almost 37 minutes TOP almost identical to yesterday. I expect we consider TE better then Chad. I am thrilled about the team, but not ready to have them deep in the playoffs yet, though I certainly think we can play against and beat Tennessee (easily as their offense is just not good) and Pittsburgh (if we can contain Rothliesburg).....

SD defense is not a bad D. We dominated them for 60 mins. Yards dont matter as much as the score at the end. As long as the Bills come out on top we could have 30 yards of total offense and i wouldnt give two ***** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanForever19 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I just don't understand this mentality. Even the great Patriots could have been criticized for something years ago. "To be negative.......", why in the blue friggin' hell would you want to do that?! We beat an AFC offensive scoring machine that made mince meat out of the Pats last week and you want to be negative? I feel like i'm taking crazy pills! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I'd agonize over containing Ben R. He's a decent QB but not a stellar one, serendipitiously on a club held in perpetual good NFL graces.

I am exceedingly excited about this team, but want to see a few little things.... Not being negative, though some will argue. Maybe it is just listening to Schopp and his lackey (aka Bulldog), that makes me want to note that I want to see a little more offense and scoring, because we see that the potential is there.

Personally, stats are meaningless unless you play fanyasty football, and if you do, you probably don't know much about football. I'd like to see the offensive and defensive lines strengthened in the offseasons, but we are doing very well for so young a team. Remember, we have to fire Jauron or some people will get bored.

No turnovers. That's a little thing. The ability to keep the chains moving and eat clock. That's also a little thing. Winning. That's a BIG thing. This isn't fantasy football, AnthonyF. If you can't see that the Bills are doing MANY "little things" right this season, you're not looking hard enough. FWIW, if you choose to inflict the buffoons at WGR upon yourself that's your problem, not ours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got turnovers, which we haven't done of late. The D played very well and moving the chains was paramount. Don't be upset because I want to see some more yards and points does not make me a a terrible pessimist. As for WGR, they are just too much, and today they have been over the top in describing TE's play, but I wanted my Bills fix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry too much about the "low" score either. The Bills could have easily made it at least 26 if not 30 points but elected to be classy, safe and smart at the end of the game. As for stats, we out-gained San Diego (#1 offense in the NFL) by about 100 yards yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ganesh Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Want to see more points..... San Diego's defense is not good. We did a good job of ball control and this was the first game in a while where San Diego turned over the ball, so kudos to the defense. Some more points on offense is good...But I like the balance....We have TD by passing and another by running. What I would like to see if anything is to run the ball better and take more pressure off our defense. Listening to Schopp and the Bulldog go on about TE is just way over the top. I too am very excited about him, but can I ask for 300 yards passing and 30 offensive points? Why is it considered such a big deal to score 30 points on offense. Getting 300 yards is not important...I would rather have Marshawn reach 100 yards every game. Remember Brady and Ben won their SBs not by passing for 300+ yards but by playing mistake free ball control football Before you jump on me, check Miami's and Chad Pennington's #'s vs. SD two weeks ago..... 22/29 228 yards and 167 yards rushing and almost 37 minutes TOP almost identical to yesterday. I expect we consider TE better then Chad. I am more interested in finding how the Bills are going to stop that Wildcat offense come this sunday and how to play better STs. I am thrilled about the team, but not ready to have them deep in the playoffs yet, though I certainly think we can play against and beat Tennessee (easily as their offense is just not good) and Pittsburgh (if we can contain Rothliesburg)..... No team is easy in the NFL. The steelers were spanked by the Eagles and yet they have been dominant against Jacksonville and Baltimore. If the Bills play mistake free ball-control offense, they do have a legit chance to go deep in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kgun5 Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I'm going to jump in on Anthony's side, except I'll frame it differently. As good as we are, if we could improve on our success inside the opponents' 35 (extended red zone), this team could go a long way towards being a SB contender. Turning missed FGs/turnovers on downs into FGs, and turning FGs into TDs just once a game would give us significantly better shot in any game against any team.
