What a lot of people don't seem to grasp is that we have only one offensive style. And it relies on the short game working. Take that away, as the Jets did perfectly, and the Bills offense is done. That's the bad news. The good news is no other defense we will see has the defensive players to completely take away the short game (except the Jets again in 3 weeks).

Already on NFL.com. He is a TE. Did someone get hurt?

Lindell busted up; Rayner signed
CodeMonkey replied to Phil Hansen Forever's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They probably sign someone for the short term. -
One thing I can hold onto from today's game
CodeMonkey replied to dayman's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Didn't make the entire day any less sucky. But that did make me laugh. I'm glad he held otherwise they would not have shown the replay and we would have missed it. -
A Few Thoughts About The Game
CodeMonkey replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think red flagging then made sense. He was going to call a timeout anyway and that just gave him a longer one. Plus who knows, maybe they get a better spot. On TV it looked to be a pretty accurate spot, but they only needed one chain link more. Now the play he came up with during the extended timeout is another discussion altogether. -
I'm not saying the offense was not to blame as well. They certainly showed nothing. But to blame how the Jets offense walked down the field time after time, including at the beginning of the game where fatigue could not be blamed, on the Bills offense is nonsense IMO. It's not the end of the world. The Bills got beat by a better team is all.

And its only the Bills opponents that do it and get away with it ... every week. Yup, sure thing.

In what universe did the Bills D look good? Holy crap, the Jets had their way with the Bills all day. The only reason the score was close at halftime was Sanchize giving the Bills a couple gifts. There were two reasons the Bills D was on the field so long. 1) The Bills offense could do nothing with the short game taken away by the Jets D. 2) The Bills D had no answer for the Jets offense, running or passing. Simple as that. The Bills D looked good you say????? Oy vey. Always is that way huh, win or loss it seems. I wonder why that is.

A Few Thoughts About The Game
CodeMonkey replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It does no good to try and make excuses. We were out coached and out played in every aspect of the game. Period. Yes the Bills have injuries, but the Jets are every bit as banged up. The score should have been much worse but Sanchize gave us a few gifts in the first half that kept the score reasonable, and the Bills TD was in garbage time. I am getting very tired of the whining about bad calls. Every team gets good and bad calls. It comes from the refs being > 100 years old. It balances out and if you don't think so you need to take off your homer glasses. The great start the Bills got this season was due to playing above their talent level in combination with incredible luck (passes off of helmets and tips going right into the hands of a Bills defender for example). It had a lot of people thinking they had the talent to be a contender, they even had me thinking maybe my evaluation of their talent level might be off. But yesterday showed that as most of us thought at the start of the season, the Bills have a long rebuilding road ahead of them. They are on the right track to be sure, but they are by no means a serious contender ... yet. I'm sure sexy Rexy has already been on the phone to his bro. In fact, I suspect they talked before the game as well. Hopefully Gailey has some more tricks up his sleeve, but the Bills offense does not have the luxury of doing too many different things. As the Jets showed yesterday, you take away the short game from the Bills offense and it's pretty much game over. The good news is the cowgirls D does not have the talent to take away the short game like the Jets do. The Miami offense may have have found themselves at exactly the wrong time as well. That game is no longer a given. Going to be a tough stretch for the boys. -
A game for the ages is just a tad strong I think, but I do agree that it is a important game for both teams

Keys to a Bills Victory Sunday
CodeMonkey replied to VirginiaMike's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yes it should be interesting to be sure. If the jets are able to take away the short/mid stuff from Fitz, which is how he makes his living, it will force the bills to go deeper more often and that is always a scary thing for bills fans. But Gailey is no dummy so I'd have to think he has something planned out other than going deep. If sanchize gets time to throw they should be able to put a couple points on the board as well. Like I said, should be interesting and every bit as close as the vegas line indicates. 12th man could have a serious impact on this game. -
Brad Smith - Are we using him correctly?
CodeMonkey replied to MClem06's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Brad Smith - Are we using him correctly? The Bills are 5-2 so my answer would be a resounding YES Besides if, God forbid, Fitz goes down for any length of time you are going to be very happy Smith is around. -
Bills will wear White at home this weekend
CodeMonkey replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The Bills store hasn't sold enough white jerseys. -
Wow, making excuses already? Way to get an early start on it.

A Few Thoughts About The Game
CodeMonkey replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Fitz doesn't have the accuracy for that. The Bills benefited from PI on the one deep route yesterday. Generally I believe Gailey is correct in keeping Fitz throwing 15 yards or less. -
A Few Thoughts About The Game
CodeMonkey replied to Bill from NYC's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Even more accurately, our D destroyed their O. It was domination of the highest order, due largely to their recent injuries as pointed out above. Our O beat their D. -
Fitz has agreed to 6yr 59Mill Contract
CodeMonkey replied to buffalo1983's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I agree that looking strictly at skill level, Fitz is not worth that kind of money. But, the Bills need him and will for at least the next few years. Fitz is nothing if not smart. He and his agent recognized he was in the position of power and took full advantage of it. Good for him. The Bills got a good deal as they have the QB they need locked up for the time they will need him, and Fitz got a fantastic deal being paid like a top flight QB. -
So I bought a ticket for this Sunday's game in Toronto
CodeMonkey replied to JÂy RÛßeÒ's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
At one time it was, but with all the new players not so much anymore. They are sissy-fying the game, and it has evolved to a game that relies on timing patterns and other such things that makes something as common as wind a problem. Also most fans do not want to sit in the rain all day, The NFL is all about the "fan experience" ... i.e. what makes the fans spend their money more. Get used to domes, they are the future. -
Offense: Score more points than the skins offense. Defense: Allow fewer points than the skins defense. Special Wish: See Spiller contribute significantly to the offense.

I hear J.P. is hosting an event at his place

[closed]If the Toronto doesn't sell out in time.....
CodeMonkey replied to Webster Guy's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I wonder this time with the Bills doing better if more people from Buffalo might head up north for the game.
