Bills 34 - Giants 24

Indeed, the pass thing is interesting. What does that tell us? The teams we've played are all pass-first in their offensive philosophy? We've led 2 of the 3, in the NFL, when teams are playing from behind that means they will generally pass more? In the one game we didn't lead, that team is the most "pass-first" them in the league? Teams feel the way to beat this Defense is to attack in from the air? If the Bills keep putting up points, and are more successful than not in stopping the pass, will teams start to try and grind out long drives to slow the game down? — i.e., Try to keep the offense off the field? (Of course the problem with that it that it seems to play right into the strength of the Bills Defense.) others . . . ??? Or, is all this just a fluke, a statistical anomaly? As Mark Twain said, "there are lies, damn lies, and statistics."

(In reference to Dixon) I'm not sure about the fat, but slow and "weak" ???? He just does't get the push we saw last year.

Yes, it is interesting. Personally, I never thought we had a problem, I always thought we had three very different good choices. The problem was, which style and direction did you want to go? I think we choose the best one for this team. And if - heaven forbid - something were to happen, we have a very capable backup.

necessary, but is it time to bring Bryce Brown back?

This!

mathematically, a Fish win is better for us

Urbik played well, certainly no drop off. But, if Miller is 100%, as others have suggested, he needs to be out there.

I doubt that, they were dopes alright, but I don't think intentionally so? So what Karlos and Tyrod did doesn't count? Thus the line is NOT very good. Not sure I follow your logic?

Lets not fall into the same trap we did after week one, will we never learn? A little humility goes a long way. Focus on next week and play them one at a time.

I wondered when you would get in here to defend your good name?

agree

Tyrod

priceless

yeah, but two plays into the game EJ leads them into the end zone! seems like the title said it all ????

I think our o-line will be Okay this year, but with room to improve: so we'll go for the best o-lineman available, whether a guard or tackle

Well, at least there is progress, we've evolved a long way from the demonstrative visceral judgments that took place the week after the trade.

I have the same problem, trying to figure out what I will do for four hours

Bills 19, Carp missed the 2nd extra point, Rex goes for 2 on the 3rd score, doesn't get it . . . Fish 17, and miss game winning 54 yard field goal attempt.

The way the Bills were outplayed, I'm surprised at the number of positive grades (B- or higher). The lowest grade had to be for the Defensive scheme … how many time did we see linebackers trying to cover all-pro receivers like Edelman and Gronk, and I think we made that Jordan guy an all-pro as well. Oh well, clean it up and move on

well, he is 1-0 this season … The Cowboys got a sweet deal

yeah, i saw that lack of effort on that play. I guess in the horendity of the entire game, that play got lost. But is sure didn't look good

when you win, its all good . . . when you lose, well? no so much

Biggest Positive: This game is over! Learn, and move on.

I am a HUGE Tyrod Taylor fan. But, I have to agree on this. The line was bad, at least very inconsistent—which, I guess, is bad. Nonetheless, TT did them no favors, especially in that abysmal first half. I however, think the blame has to be shared by the Offensive Coaches. Remember when we were all over Hackett and Company about telling EJ not to scramble, to be cautious in using his feet? I think the same thing has happened to TT. All along the questions has been, "can he stand in the pocket and make NFL passes?" The answer is No!, at least, not on a regular basis. So here's a better question: "Should he try to do that?" Again, the answer is: No! That is not his game, and he will not be successful at it. It was almost like he was told not to run in the first half: "Whatever you do, stand there and go through all your progressions." Compare how he played in the second half with the first. He was moving, when he scramble, it was away from pressure, and sometimes for positive plays when there was nothing downfield. And when he did make big throws, with the exception of Watkins TD, they were all when he was on the move. Now, he also threw an interception then, but the good out weighs the bad in this exchange. Here's the point: TT is an athlete. Take advantage of his athleticism. He is not, nor should he be, a prototypical NFL QB. He is an athlete, let his use his feet, his quickness, and his rocket of an arm, to beat teams. Add to that, he has a suspect line that can not hold a pocket, and it is even more of a case for using his athleticism. Compare the first half with the second, and you see the results.
