With the game 0-0, and the Raiders on their opening drive - we were offered this special little nugget of observation:
Screen Shot 2017-10-29 at 4.41.15 PM.png
To be fair, who wasn't thinking the same thing.
1. We gave up 700+ yards and 4 TDs combined through the air in the two previous games against QBs not as highly regarded as Derrick Carr.
2. We were playing this game without Gaines and Poyer. Half our starting secondary was out.
3. Raiders promptly take the ball and march right down the field to our one yard line on their first possession.
-
Schmidt seems to be regaining his form after somewhat of a down year last year.
All the squib kicking was making me nervous for fear of one going out of bounds eventually. Plus we gave up a huge return but likely got the holding call. And Patterson ripped off a big return too. But yeah, overall, those guys are really attacking the football and trying to get it out.
-
They'll finish 6-10. Miss out on their QB and the playoffs.
-
1. Defense was not very good from start to finish.
2. Ryan Fitzpatrick. The guy is maybe the best back up QB in the league. But you can't count on him game to game or quarter to quarter. He proved that with us and the Jets.
3. Not enough playmakers on offense. The receiving core was only a step above this one. And we have complained about this one a ton. But this team has a better defense and a better QB.
-
EVERY receiver does it, he fell cause of the whether
So maybe it it is wet out our guys shouldn't do that.
BS. That they didn't call Crabtree's push off there.
-
Terrible call.
He clearly extended his right arm and pushed the DB. Terrible play by Matthews.
-
Problem with our offense is we have to work so hard to move the ball that any kind of penalty just derails us.
-
Come on Matthews!
-
Great blocking by all three receivers therre.
-
Can't stop the pass. Can't stop the run. But I figured that would be the case on defense. Maybe the offense will step up and bail us out.
-
This one is gonna be ugly.
-
Who is the idiot who told McDermott to challenge that?? Got to fire that guy.
-
I will call BS on the idea that the coaches will compromise their chances to win today for a better future. Coaches made it clear its open competition for playing time, I believe them.
Why do you believe that? Sometimes players only get better by playing on the field. Zay's likely not struggling in practice.
I guess we will see if Zay's snap count goes down. Possible with the emergence of Thompson and Matthews in his second game back from injury.
-
If the coaches share the same opinion as some here they would not let him have any targets. Unless wining is not important to them.
If that were the case he wouldn't be on the field at all.
I'm for that, but know the coaches are not. It is what it is. Let's hope Zay can pull though. An argument can definitely be made that fielding a player with a 21% completion rate is not helping the Bills win now. The idea is that letting Zay work through his struggles will help the Bills win later either late in the year or next season.
-
We will see today. If he sees the field and gets any targets we will know what the coaches opinion is.
What point are you trying to make with this statement? We already know what the coaches opinion is. They are going to let him play through it. I expect him to get 5-6+ targets easily. Let's hope for the best.
-
I didnt see ANYTHING in the article referencing the Bills. That title is pretty misleading.
Fake news.
-
Yeah, I'd say that tipped ball to Holmes looks like a clear drop. So that's at least four now.
-
The TD pass that he tipped in the air and Holmes grabbed it is also a drop.
Yep. That one probably not as blatant a drop as the other three I mentioned (I'd have to look at it again) but definitely in the realm of a dropped catch. It was definitely a pass that you would expect and NFL receiver to hang on to more often than not is one way you could put it.
Zay Jones needs an attitude change. The guy is too timid and not hungry enough. He gets everything handed to him because he was a McDermott pick. If this same production happened with someone from the old regime, he would have been traded for a late round pick already.
There is some truth to this sadly.
-
Ive seen with my own eyes more than two drops. Just give it up dude. Zay has more than two drops. I don't care what the stat you found says. Its wrong.
Exactly the dropped passes stats is bogus. I mentioned three clearly dropped passes above so how does someone come up with a stat of only two? And these are just dropped passes, not even taking into account being out of position, not locating the ball with his eyes soon enough or failing to come up with "tough catches" near 100% of the time.
-
From watching all the games I dont recall seeing a bunch of balls that I thought he should have catched. I swear at the TV when I see that stuff.
Funny tho that some will use stats to support their opinion, but then say the stats are wrong when they dont.
Off the top of my head there are three that he should have 100% caught. The Cincinnati game where he dropped the screen pass (referenced above), the Atlanta game where he dropped the 40+ yarder before the half, and this last game against Tampa Bay where he dropped the out. That's just off the top of my head. That doesn't include 50/50 balls which he seems to come up with close to zero percent of the time. NFL receivers are supposed to be making spectacular catches. Zay needs to start doing that.
-
I dont keep stats but I thought a lot of ball thrown to he were not good passes, and dont recall him dropping easy catches. Kinda funny how so many want to throw him under the bus just because his catch to target ratio looks bad. I guess more guys need to watch the games....
Edit according to the stats he has recorded 2 drops, not great but not terrible either.
If we can't get the guy catchable targets he needs to be on the bench and not on the field hurting the offense. Why is it that Taylor has far less difficulty throwing catchable targets to the other receivers and TE's?
-
That's totally ignoring all the guys taken before them that sucked.
So because you cannot be 100% sure that the guy will pan out your solution is to just not even try? That will work real well i am sure.
-
The question and point is, if both of the two guys you LOVE are gone already, no matter how hard you tried to trade up to get him, do you draft a QB at 15 or 20 that you are not completely sold on because you think you need a franchise QB, instead of a guy available you love at a position of need who was graded much higher than the QB. And just hope the QB works out?
Yes, because by now if we have learned anything it is that GMs for the most part are as about clueless as fans as to who will turn out to be a good QB. Wilson, Carr, Watson, Dak, Cousins all good QBs that 31 and even 32 GMs passed on multiple times in some occasions. I don't want to hear that our GM wasn't sold on any of the remaining QBs so we decided to just not even try.
-
With Gaines out and Poyer a question mark I'm not feeling real confident. This feels similar to the Bengals game. We really want a win to show that we are not the same old Bills but again we got some key injuries that are going to make a tough game even tougher. I'm predicting a loss and hoping for the best. I say 5-3.
We are in solid playoff position right now...

If we do this we'll finish with the #1 seed.
