Beerball Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 We know it, we've said it, we'll say it again...our tendency has been to give up points early & late in games. Gotta fix that. Link & another thing...folks can spout off all they want about how advantageous it is to defer the opening KO. My response...bullshite. You've got one of the best ST coaches & one of the best KO returners use them out of the gate. The fact that the team's tendency has been to allow first drive TDs half the time only strengthens my belief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In theory I like the idea of starting out the second half with the ball because if you can end the 1st half with the ball you have an opportunity to score twice without the opponent touching it. That being said though you make a good point. With the Bills special teams being their main strength and that defensive statistic you quoted, it does seem silly for DJ to continue to do that.

I think I would be taking the ball first. Even for just a while to see if the stat changes for the better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even for just a while to see if the stat changes for the better. Especially this year with the no huddle offense. Can you imagine the pressure put on the other team if the Bills were able to get the ball to start the game, go right down the field and score quickly? In no time the other team is down 7 points.

Now you can wake up from the dream. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Now you can wake up from the dream. You know, I'm kinda curious how this offense is going to look with T.O. I'm encouraged that they would even consider a no huddle strategy. I just have no faith in the coaching staff. Run on the first two downs predictability is the way they like to do things. I think Evans and Owens could possibly do some damage on opening drives if allowed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
