Spiderweb

Evans last two years in Buf were pretty pedestrian (save the occasional long ball which his speed made possible), Easley is a complete unknown who showed potential in Preseason but also showed a propensity to drop balls as well. Donald Jones has made a few plays but surely hasn't distinguished himself. I like David Nelson, Stevie Johnson, and Naaman plays well also. Put CJ in the slot or outside, and the deep threat is back. Enough weapons exist, Fitz just needs to make better throws, more consistently.

All QB's make mistakes, some much more than others. Today, Fitz was in the "more than others" group. The play was there, twice, yet twice he threw a miserably under thown ball.

To me. Fitz is more like a 50-50 guy. I was hoping this year he would make huge strides in becoming a 75 plus percent guy. He still may be, but his last performances against the Bengals, Eagles, and today were more pedestrian than upper echelon.

Almost? Hell, they both were equally obvious....bad call and bad non-call.

Exactly..... +1

The more I read the negatives on " the call" to go deep on first late with around 4 min left in the game, the more convinced I am that the call was a correct one. The play was there. Stevie beat his man of the line. All that remained was a professional throw and we got a high scholl lolly pop.

....and in typical Gailey fashion, he's not likely to give up much info on it.

Yes, a case can be made to run the ball there. Yet, on 1st down, that's the prefect time for the play Gailey called. It was simply a horribly soft under thrown ball. That's was on Fitz, not Gailey. I'll take 7 points anytime. Now, if the ball is incomplete, a run or two would have been fine.... If complete, were up 7. the chief goat was Fitz no matter how you slice it. That was a very poorly thrown ball (again).

Ah, to this I agree wholeheartedly...

Are you advocating "moral" victories? I hate when they lose period.......

Gailey isn't conservative by nature. He made the call, Stevie beat his man, but Fitz threw a soft horribly under thrown ball. It that situation it's far better to take the shot, but if you miss, miss long.

Terence McGee played a solid, if unspectacular game, but the Gints clearly made Florence their Target, and it paid off big for them. Good to have McGee back....

Sadly, I have to agree in general, although the play to Johnson was there, Fitz just under threw the ball (again).

Yes...... Davis is poor in space and is very slow.....

Nope... Two bad picks, and his taking us out of FG range were bad, very bad. Then on fourth he threw right into the Defensive line man. Passing lanes Fitz, sometimes ya gotta move or go elsewhere. Fred played well as usual with a couple big plays, but other than Naaman's long run on a short pass for a score, there weren't many other positives for the Bills.... Florence played horribly

That and the second pick on his second underthrown (and second pick) ball deep to Johnson......

If only he turned for the ball and that late PI, it would have been a pick...hit him in the shoulder anyway.

Goats for today... Fitz and Florence..... very poor day for both

Need to update with better shots but here's my Rec - Bar rooms.

Batten's helmet to helmet hit on Vick (roughing) negated a defensive stop that led to Eagles finishing with a score instead. That was a huge "Dope" play....other than that, he got beat numerous times on McCoy runs as well. Like his motor but he still hasn't put it together yet. Moats seemed to play well mostly....

Shep seems to be far more intense than Davis

It would be easier on my heart if we could force a few more 3 and outs when we need to....

Save for a few runs, the running game was stuffed more often than not. What it looked like to me was that the Bills were more concerned about being a left handed when running so they ran more to the right. The combo of Reinhart and Pears did not do anything to change that against Cinci. Hairston filled in decently for Bell in pass protection, but didn't do much for the run. either. All in all, this was a game like those we've seen far too often the past decade, it was yet another the Bills let get away from them. All this and I still say Johnson made that catch, it was a 1st down, and likely for us to have gotten points.

No, but that still ranks as a horrible call....

The game played out as if Donte was defending the TE today, one big catch after another.
