John Adams Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Go back and watch the 2nd half. He had at least two play action passes where he barely holds the ball out for the back before tucking it back in. Buzz all you want, it's right there on tape. You will have to hold my head in a vice before I watch that again. I'll just let you be right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 If you don't have faith in your QB then he shouldn't be on the field. If he's on the field then you use all the plays at your disposal. Trent = Hype. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluv Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I know ya schmuck. That's what I'm saying. People are bitching about them settling for a 47 yarder when Cleveland won it with a longer one. What a bunch of idiots. AT least the Browns didnt SETTLE for that long kick! They attempted to make the 1st down and they moved down the field and if they missed they had all their TO's to possibly get the ball back! I can deal with the miss if that was ALL we had! We basically GAVE up and put Lindell in a tough situation; kicking a 47 yard FG IN the wind from a hash mark ,NOT CENTERED! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KOKBILLS Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I actually like the running play on 1st down after the completion. There's a chance you catch the D by surprise (because nobody in their right mind thinks a coaching staff will happily sit on the ball once they're within a 50 yard FG.) The two runs afterward though were just pathetic. Jauron deserves all the flak he'll catch for this one. True...And it made Cleveland burn a TO... On 3rd I thought for sure they would come up with a little something to get a 1st Down...Actually I thought they would try to go to Lee deep but appearently Lee Evans no longer plays for The Buffalo Bills... I know! It was news to Me too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You will have to hold my head in a vice before I watch that again. Like I said, the worst part is that my five-year-old son made me promise to get him up tomorrow at 5 to watch the game on DVR with him. Can I tell him it got rained out?

Tipster19 Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Before the game ended I was thinking even if we win, do we REALLY deserve to be thinking playoffs? I thought the same thing, I even told my kid that. We don't deserve to be in the play-offs and even if we were to make it there I wouldn't hold any expectations whatsoever.

NEEDFREDJACKSONNOW Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Bingo. Not necessarily defending DJ, but he probably thought that the percentages were in his favor given what he has seen out of TE over the last month. He turtled. I would have at least spread the field and give my backs a chance at hitting a hole if I did run. Or, how about a screen? Didn't see that all game *sarcasm*.

Well I'm not gonna take Lindell 100% off the hook though...It was a makeable kick...He got plenty of leg on it...He just pushed it plain and simple...He HAS to make that kick...Regardless of what the Bills did before that (and they should have gotten Him closer no question)...Lindell still HAS to make that Kick...Freaking Kickers...

LabattBlue Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 By the way what was up with Lynch laughing on the bench while sitting next to Jackson and then going after Brady Quinn a few seconds later and laughing some more. Is this guy a mental midget? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 You will have to hold my head in a vice before I watch that again. I'll just let you be right.

rockpile Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 hey Edwards had his problems but he got us ahead and then a chance to win but Lindell missed it....simple as that....thanks Lindell! Yes, thanks Lindell. How many has he WON for the team? That kick was a coin toss at best - That was a fact before he kicked! Yep, Lindell lost the whole !@#$ing game. They should fire him to show that when a player does not try, there is a price to pay for underacheivers, ya know! Oooh, my hot pockets are almost (ding!) ready. DO WE HAVE TO TALK STUPID AFTER A LOSS LIKE THIS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't deserve to be in the play-offs and even if we were to make it there I wouldn't hold any expectations whatsoever. Playoffs? No way. The rest of the season is realistically practice for next year, unless you've drunk the kool-aid. Getting real sick of waiting for next year in the middle of November.

I'm not taking him COMPLETELY off the hook but come on: Jauron and company put him in a BAD situation! If we had attempted to pass on 2nd and 3rd down AFTER we had CENTERED the ball then I'd give Lindell more heat as that was the only option left. But to have 1:23 left on the clock and a TO and you coach that scared? That was unacceptable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dean Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 By the way what was up with Lynch laughing on the bench while sitting next to Jackson and then going after Brady Quinn a few seconds later and laughing some more. Is this guy a mental midget? I LOVED that (as long as he doesn't draw a penalty). Did you see him laughing and jawing with Rogers, later on? Lynch is always smilin', and plays with total enthusiasm. What a breath of fresh air, he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sisyphean Bills Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Right now...For whatever reason...Fred Jackson is a better Running Back than Marshawn...I'm not saying He's better than Marshawn...I'm just saying Freddie chooses and hits the hole a heck of a lot better right now...Marshawn is definitely in a bit of a funk...But He still has SO much talent He can turn next-to-nothing into something on any Play...I'm still waiting for Marshawn to stop that side-stepping in the Back Field and just run to daylight more often...Plant His foot and go...When He does that He will be unstoppable... They are both good and about the only thing that was going on O tonight. Marshawn showed some awesome hands tonight, catching some badly thrown ducks out there and turning them into huge plays. The problem with Marshawn isn't his talent. He's a stud and can do whatever they ask of him. The problem is that he is trying to hit a grand slam on every single play. With good coaching, he'd of already broken that nasty habit; but, alas, it just continues on and on, run after run, game after game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine. I noted early in the season that his fakes were very good. Tonight he looked like a different guy out there. He sucked ass. I can't give up on him yet because I know JP sucks. If I give up on Trent now, that leaves no one to be the future QB and I can't live with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
