Bleeding Bills Blue

Football tanking doesn't work. Winston and Mariota looked great last year, this year not so much. Luck hasn't been good in like 3 years. RG3 already flamed out. Wentz and Goff look great this year - we'll see about next year (but both of them were traded for - so they don't technically qualify as tank people). Stafford never won anything. Newton's not exactly a world beating star, what'd they hang - 9 points on us? Sam Bradford still keeps getting huge pay days despite never doing anything.

When you have a bottom 5 offense in the league there are no gimme wins (for us or them). A turnover, or special teams TD can flip a game on the baltimores/buffalos of the league.

I don't think ragland would have seen the field Sunday for Buffalo. We were in nickel literally the entire game. The defense they are building seems more dependent on play speed and gang tackling than on a big run thumper. If he had come to camp like 15 pounds lighter (as preston brown did), he may have had a shot. And for those complimenting his coverage skills, he seems "OK" in man, but if you're wanting him playing a deep lying zone i think he'll be easily beat. We play a ton of zone.

He seems to be around the ball a lot, and always finishing plays. I have no problem with the player - i don't think he's like... a dominant first round pick. But he seems to care and play hard.

Belichick is in charge of his team's personell. He brings in guys he wants to fit what he wants to do.

Our worst guy in pass coverage is Preston brown, and this guy was so much worse than brown at coverage that we had him on the scout team.

Think the only way you win is if you go with a college game plan, put as much speed on the field on O as you can and just spread it out and try and score points. Bring a fast tempo to the game. You wont win this one with 16, or even 24 points.

I think the body clock rushed it. The deep route on the right side of the field brought both the corner and the high safety deep so there was room. If the corner doesn't - and reads that play then it could be a pick. He may have just rushed the read and forced it in the window he saw. Good QBs are constantly behind the sticks all game because of a terrible run game.

That's the way i look at it. A lot of good players coming later in the draft at this position. Also, we aren't in a major cap crunch so I wouldn't create a hole just to have to fill it. We already need LBs, DTs, a pass rusher, a CB, a RT, a RG, probably a WR, definitely a QB. Why would we want to add starting RB to that?

Big plays. Need someone to step up. They aren't going to play a ton of man, and they are likely to spy TT and keep him in the pocket. I'd come right at them with a passing attack and ease into a run game.

Boom

Lol on that call

So what? It was complete, and gave us a makeable third down. Dennison bungled that 3rd down call did he not?

I don't get it... he said been one of our better players on o in this game. Better run into a wall.

Its ridiculous honestly. Try and win the game there.

Stop callin outzside zone runs into a 9 man box

Gotta blame dennison if we lose this game...

Throw it on first there. We legit just handed them the ball back

Why don't we just kneel?

He completed it... dennison was the one with the terrible third and 2 call.

He got the ball out quick a couple times but was baited into a pick. He has no pocket presence right now, and is a turnover liability at this point.

Peterman under pressure... 0/6 with 5 INTs... I wonder what the plan would be to beat him?

They spent a lot of picks on a qb... but remember they also dumped bradford for a huge return

Dareus was a good player, but not a leader and he was paid a massive sum of money to be more than a good player.

Theyre also playing good defense. Helps to have a motivated all-pro DT. They have another young corner waiting til 2018 to start, and some solid pass rush. They added some free agent wide receivers and were able to move Matthews. theyre built to win under wentz rookie contract.
