What did he do, open his mouth?

and bills fans should care because...

This is one of the dumbest post-loss reactionary posts I've read in a long, long time. Schobel is overrated because he went up against Ferguson and a constant 3 step drop? Go back to Football 101 before you draw such goofy conclusions, man. Jeez.

It's either one of two things: Busted blocking assignment or JP misjudged the speed of bobby hamilton. The reason I don't think it's the latter is because I'm not sure how much faster JP could have turned himself around toward that left post.

The reason we had to do that is we lost shelton, so we lost our primary goalline personnel package. I like the call, but again, I didn't like the fact that JP didn't notice that there was a jet on the line that hadn't been accounted for. CLearly a LOS spy watching the ball just in case of a bootleg. It was a great heads up call by mangina's dc, unfortunately. Maybe JP saw it and didn't audible because he thought he could beat him to the corner. Who knows.

Our playcalling is so much better than it has been in the last 4 years, but again, the one play that turned the momentum was that unnecessary fake FG that was busted up by moorman's bad shuffle pass. I don't like it when you have the lead, you have the momentum, and you're in position to make it a two possession game...and you do something quirky. It doesn't seem like Jauron ball, either...but I'm sure we'd say it was brilliant if Moorman had passed it properly and it went for a first that resulted in a TD. But I will always be against high risk tricks that can turn momentum against you...particularly against a team that had generated zero momentum of their own to that point. Hopefullly they'll get wiser. TAKE THE POINTS AND QUIT FUGGIN AROUND

I agree that was disappointing. but they did it during the comeback, too. human nature, happens in every stadium.

I like JP, but if this game tells us anything, it tells us that JP has a long way to go to understand key situations and what you do in those situations. You don't scramble backwards out of field goal range on third down. You can't fumble the ball twice when you know you can tuck it and run through the gaping hole in front of you. The last ones stick out in my mind....when he scrambled left on 3rd and 1 with less than 2 minutes left...and threw it away thru the endzone...terrible decision. He had the sideline and the first down right in front of him. He could have made it there on a wheelchair. He had 1st down and a stopped clock but his mind was fixed on stopping the clock so he made a bad, unaware decision. I'm not gonna jump down the kid's throat because he did a lot of good things and our defense didn't help him one bit (where was the pressure? where were the big hits?) but this was a game we should have one, and JP did just enough to hurt his team to nullify anything he did well. Oh, and I really hate mangini. I've decided.

Hugh!

What the hell are you talking about? What kind of vacuous garbage is this?! Just kidding. Great post. I haven't watched the game tapes (time) so I was hoping for analysis like this.

peter king should know better than to think that teams are going to tell him the truth about who they would have taken. It makes them look bad, and it makes their draft pick look like a consolation prize. Nobody tells the truth on draft day. take the dolphins for example. word around the draft was that saban was in love with whitner. the fact that saban ended up taking an injured safety who scored poorly on the wonderlic and who might have a chronically bad hip suggests that he was really thinking safety there. If whitner was there, there's no doubt that the dolphins would have taken him. And because the Lions run a version of the Tampa 2, and because Whitner was the consensus #1 DB for that particular defensive approach, it stands to reason that Ernie Sims was #2 on their draft board.

What the hell are you talking about? Do you not realize that Williams and McCargo play different positions, and the reason that Williams is starting is because he has outplayed Tim Anderson, NOT McCargo? McCargo spells Tripplett. Besides, he was a Junior coming out, this is his rookie year, and that was his second game.

I hope you're kidding

I dunno, I think the Jets D is pretty damn good. They're faster than the patriots and dolphins, and while their DLine might not be as talented as NE's, it's better than Miami's. And their OLine is MUCH better than Miami's. I wouldn't expect us to get 7 sacks on Pennington. I think they'll be tougher to beat than the Sabans.

Aw, Matt...you tossed your old kermit avatar...bummer. I chuckled everytime I saw that thing.

Yes, they are. I loved our draft on draft day and it just goes to show you that the "analysts" are getting paid to be bandwagon riders and conclusion jumpers with the misnomer titles of "analyst". They are getting paid BIG MONEY to fill the air with CONSENSUS ASSUMPTIONS. Nobody ever sticks his neck out and says that a team like the Bills will surprise everyone. Fuggieu, Dierdorf.

We controlled the entire game, yet the "analysts" could do nothing but express their surprise that the dolphins "can't get out of their own way", not saying anything positive about the bills until the game was won.

Coy Wire: Finally makes a play! Yeeha!

WooHoo! Nothing beats crushing the much-hyped mularkey saban-dolphins in their home opener and sack Culpepper 7 fuggin times. When they signed him, I wasn't worried. The media so desperately wants him to succeed...they try so hard to prop him up. They say Saban is a genius, yadda yadda. We totally outcoached those guys today. Ha. HA! Gameballs: Denney (he has finally emerged), Lindell, Moorman, Jason Peters, Donte Whitner (that 2pt play stop was the dagger in their heart. way to step up and be the guy to make the winning play to make it a 2 possession game for those pricks). Have a great week, guys!

maybe it's all hype and brady quinn is the next todd collings.

Saban ain't so smart Too much has been made of that Just take out Ronnie

Yea me too.

Good. I like that guy.

Easterbrook rules. Tell ya what, he pegged Mularkey EARLY, when most of us, including me, were still defending him.

The Patriots were flagged for just one 5-yard infraction, although there were at least four plays on which a Patriots offensive lineman wrapped both arms around a Buffalo pass-rusher, and the Flying Elvii benefited from an extremely convenient inadvertent whistle that ended a play when a Buffalo runner had 50 yards of green grass between him and the end zone. Meanwhile, the Bills were hit with seven penalties, including a ticky-tack nudge-in-the-back call that wiped out a fourth-quarter first down in New England territory and changed a scoring opportunity into a punt. As if winning an NFL game isn't hard enough... http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...terbrook/060912
