  1. you mean 4-12 or 5-11? I'm not sure honestly. It's a toss up
  2. This team won 5 games last year. Our defense did good today. But no pressure up the middle and Flacco had good time. We will not play the Ravens every week
  3. This is the most alarming thing to me. On paper, I thought we matched up well in almost all categories. If I'm spreading out Sammy, Woods, Goodwin, Clay on the line and McCoy in the backfield. I should be giving team fits in space and it looked like we wanted to play on a 15 yard wide field. If this is the whole playbook being open to TT, throw it out
  4. Yes, I had a typo. His high throws were alarming. As for Sammy, I don't know that I agree with him being open all game. He would find pockets to sit in, but TT doesn't throw people open well.
  5. Just got home from the game and was hoping the 75 minute drive would calm me down, but nope... The Fans I didn't have a single fan say a word to me about being a Bills fan. The parking lot didn't really fill up until the last hour before the game and none of the tailgating was all that impressive. When watching the game, I only had to stand up 2 times the entire game. The fans were nice, but overall timid and nowhere near the atmosphere the Ralph generates. Offensive Playcalling and Downfield The Ravens played with 2 safeties deep most of the game. There were a few times they didn't, but you could tell they were trying to take away the pre-snap read to throw deep. No excuse to not take a single attempt, but it was noticeable moreso than other games. Almost no spreading of the field with the WR's. Most of the formations had the 2 or 3 WR's on the same side of the field. It made it really easy for the defense to overload one side. That was probably the most noticeable thing to me. The Ravens were able to cutback on our defense with relative ease, while we would get shut down most of the time. Defense !@#$ you Dareus. You were incredibly missed up the middle. There was almost no push. Penalties The fans were laughing at us by the end. Every time there was a flag thrown, they would joke how they knew it had to be on the Bills. I couldn't say anything because they were right. Things I think I didn't care at the time, but our offense clearly needed more time together in the preseason. They looked completely lost out there. There was no rhythm, unnecessary time outs, and Tyrod's lack of audibles to throw deep was disturbingRoman deserves a lot of blame for the calls. There weren't a lot of players running free down field. The WR's were all running around on one side of the field. TT could have made changes, but the calls didn't set them up well for success. Why did we sign Clay? Every previous year, I could tell myself that the offense just needs to gel in this new system. This year, I got nothing. If this is 8 months of planning, I'm terrified to see what we do with 4 days. This team was not prepared. Penalties, offensive intensity, time-outs, the review (next bullet) Rex looked like a clown reviewing that td. I'm fine with him reviewing it if they thought he was in. I couldn't tell from my seats. But to take that long, show your next play, score, and then have the time-out negate it. THEN, run the same play again...I was embarrassed. Why not more all out blitzes. The one with the all-out blitz, we almost had a pick-6. Defense only gave up 13 points. That's the result. So I respect it. But, it wasn't the aggressive D I was expecting and don't know if other teams would have tore us up more. Baltimore won 5 games last year. Next week will be interesting. Why the hell is Duke Williams ever covering anyone, let alone Mike Wallace? Unless there is a 5th WR on the field, it's Gilmore, Darby, Graham, Williams, then 5 guys, then Duke. It was bad from the snap and it was painful to watch live. Tyrod looked as bad throwing on the run as I've seen him. Offensive playcalling again - If this is what a healthy Woods, Watkins, and Clay gets us....DOOOOOMMMEEEDDDD!!! I was honestly debating driving up for the game on Thursday and I just can't justify it. I am on the side where I believe that Palmer hit a wall and the Cards may take a step back. Even still, I can easily see us 0-3, 0-4 to start this season. I started with the fans because it makes me sick to think about our fans. We deserve so much better. I honestly wonder if this season ends with Roman as our HC.
  6. Is there a plan for tailgating anywhere outside the stadium, besides the bar?
  7. I will be in the car, so no desktop. I'm also just hoping to listen to the monday morning shows on my way into work. Does anyone know if WGR is block before and after the game for the drive to games? Seems 50/50
  8. For those of us who aren't close enough to get the local radio stations for pre-game, post-game, daily shows, has anyone found some good stations that can be streamed through online sources? ie: iHeartRatio, Pandora, anything? I'm going to the game Sunday and would like to listen to pre and post game on the drive
  9. If they are going to get fined for Karlos, who isn't on the team, I don't know if cutting Lawson preemptively is going to help
  10. According to ESPN's twitter, the Bills could now be subject to fines because they have 3 players (even though Karlos got cut) who are being suspended 4 games due to substance abuse. I should let this die, but even the league thinks we are accountable for the players actions.
  11. The team is now open to being fined for having multiple players getting suspended. It was on espn's twitter feed. So even the league things the FO should be accountable
  12. That's bs. Why wouldn't he come here on a one year, 3 mil deal? Selfish players man. This is Buffalo you could be living in!
  13. Buy a Yeti. They have all kinds of huge ones that will keep that beer cold all morning
  14. I'm still concerned about the right side of our line. This puts a lot less pressure on our RT
  15. I mean, up until this post, I thought we was going to be mediocre at best. But now that you've posted this....Championship!!!!!
  16. Anyone have an extra ticket? I'm going to make it happen
  17. I'm shocked by this. I would be all over it if he were affordable
  18. I was waiting for someone to start this thread. I think this is a bad location for the draft. I still can't shake the memory of the Eagles fans booing the McNabb pick. They were just ridiculous and he turned that franchise around. Between that and their fans overall reputation, I wouldn't be surprised to see the whole first round have a negative atmosphere. I would feel bad for players getting boo'd during one of the greatest moments of their lives.
  19. Rex said that he has heart, but not the size needed for the NFL and that there are too many veterans ahead of him at his position. Didn't officially list him as cut, but I think that's pretty damning. Billsdaily has the comments on their Twitter feed
  20. Proof of people skimming a post and assuming content
  21. "It's always in the last place I looked" Um, why would you find it and keep looking? Of course it was the last place you looked.
  22. After the 5-2 season with Trent and the Fitzmagic start, we've see a lot of cusps of the playoffs. I can never blame anyone for being jaded about our future until the final seconds tick away and we've officially clinched the playoffs
  23. My dear lord. You went there? Fair enough good sir. You win. I'll take Rex forever if it means we don't have to live with that alternative
