I don't blame TO one bit, and I think they should have run a curl route on the last play to get him his reception. That would have been decent. We had already lost the game. Now, we lost the game AND TOs streak.
That's what Flutie did for Andre Reed to set his record, whatever it was. Pretty lame of Dick and Trent to not think of that.
-
My issue with Trentative Checkwards is he has no marbles....
I want a gun slinger, not a game manager.
I want a guy who will snatch victory from defeat, not conservatively pray for a win with 200 yards passing to TE's and RB's
I want a "swingin dick" kinda guy with a some swagger who wants the ball in crunch time and wants to shove it down the defenses throat.
Until that kind of guy shows up in WNY to play QB, we'll be 7-9 again, again & again.......
We should have gotten Jeff Garcia in the off season.

BS on all this negative crap...our very young an in-experienced line had a terrible game...got blitzed left and right and gave our QB about 1.5 seconds to throw....hopefully they take a lesson in it and focus on Miami and the other 12 friggin games left after that...some of you need a Midol or something...
BS on all this negative OL crap. Yeah, they had a rough day. But Trent had enough time to throw way more times than not. Thus all the completiond to our 3rd string TE. Often he ran out to the side where he had a good 2 or 3 seconds to look down field while rolling out. Just like Big Ben did when he hit Holmes for the SB game winner. Good QBs make these kind of plays. Put Big Ben on this team and we're 3-0.

When it comes time for a critical non-delegatable decision to be made, I haven't seen any improvements in what DJ is doing this year relative to years past. I think he comes up will reasonable game plans / strategies heading into games. I haven't seen any ability on his part to make changes to his philosophy / strategy on the fly, presumably due to his overly conservative nature which is exhibited in almost every major decision he has to make.
I've said this for years. Dick should coach the team all week and get them ready for the game. Then on game day, hand over all gametime decision making like going for it on 4th, taking penalties, when to run fakes etc. to someone else. Bobby April maybe.

The gameplan for Trent is pretty easy, blitz.
In Trent's defense today though, Drew Brees only had 16 more passing yards and threw for the same amount of TDs (0). That pick was a fluke and bad luck and Roscoe fumbling that ball hurt us. Did anyone else notice he got face masked on that play? I dont' think Trent played well, but I also don't think it all his fault. Maybe 55%. It was a team loss.
We played another good team toe to toe for 3 1/2 quarters only to lose it at the end. Where have I heard this before over the last 4 years?

First of all, Ground Chuck is a reference to Chuck Knox, the former Bills coach. Coach Knox is one of the great coaches of all time. He coached in the NFL for 22 years. He was head coach for three teams and led each of those teams to division titles. His record as head coach is 186 wins, 147 losses, 1 tie for a .559 winning percentage.
Chuck Knox is in the Ring of Honor in Seatle. He was inducted in there in 2005. I know, I was there (and at the Super Bowl later that year, But, that's another story!).

When your 3rd string TE has more balls thrown to him than your 2 start WRs, somethings wrong. I tend to think Trent plays a big part in this. Seems he looks to the short passes to the TEs and RBs than anyone else. His favorite reciever is coming back off of suspension next week so look for more of the same.
I just don't get it.

1. Replace Jauron with a coach more passionate about winning than fearful of losing; plus competent with game management. This team has taken on Jaurons lax personality and will not win big games until it gets a coach who wants to win more than he fears to lose.
4. Don't play soft on 3rd down. We were better today, but too many times teh CB's play 5 yds behind teh ist down marker. Guess what happens, an easy first down.
1. Not going it for on 4th and a 10 inches to go and punting to the best QB in football down by 10 with 7:30 to go reeks of said fear.
4. I saw this time and time again tonight. We'd have them at 3rd and 6 or so and even our LBs were 5 yards behind the LOS. Our CBs and safeteys even further. Then they throw a short pass in front of our guys for 1st. Makes no sense.
Really though, again tonight our defense played well enough to win if they could have gotten any help. With our offensive weapons why our offense can't score any more than we can is sad. We get another big weapon back next week. We'll see.
-
I agree that the OL had a rough day. Also many penalties on 3rd down conversions. What's up with thos bad shotgun snaps?
But, on the 2 wide open bombs to TO, Trent had plenty of time to throw. He just made bad throws pure and simple. Good throws there like last week and who knows?
I feel sorry for our defense. They played well and hard but had no help. Only help they got was from Brian Moorman and Ryan Denney and Bobby April!

We have a decent defense that just can't hang with top 10 teams in the 4th quarter. This has been proven by New England and New Orleans. The reason is simple. First, great coaching means great fourth quarter teams. Second, great conditioning leads to great fourth quarter teams. Third, teams with a winning tradition and mindset win in the fourth quarter.
This is what separates average teams from outstanding teams. Buffalo is average because there is not great coaching, conditioning, or a winning culture/attitude infused in the locker room.
Winning defenses have offenses that can score points. The '85 Bears defense would have had a hard time winning with an offense that posts a goose egg. Our offense has really only scored 43 points in 3 games. Not going to win many games when only average 14.33 points per game.
Why we can't design and execute plays to get our playmakers the ball is beyond me. Why our 3rd string TE gets more balls thrown to him than TE and LE is a crime.
-
Criminy. With all of the number crunching it's obvious some of you have missed your calling. You should have been baseball managers.
-
Kick the FG. Nothing fires a team up more than a goal line stand. Up by 13, TB now needs two TDs, not a TD and FG. Big difference in the 4th Quarter.
Hat's off to Dick for making a good game time decision. Hopefully it becomes a trend!

Don't see him on the list, but I'd say Flutie.
-
Both teams are 0-1. No one wants to start 0-2. Pressure is equally on both teams.
If Alex does send Lee and TO long 15 times, I just hope someone throws it to them long at least 5 times.
I'm going to be at the game and I'm going to watch and see if TO and Lee are open and spurned by Trent in favor of Fred and other guys short.
The only thing we have to fear, is fear itself.
Go BILLS !!

Before I get accused of being negative, let me first say I think AVP did a great job with the playcalling. The screen plays were executed to perfection, having athletic Olineman makes me think our line was just too big last year and couldnt get out of their own way.
BUT...you cant tell me they took out our top 2 wrs...i didnt like when they said last year they took "Lee out of the game". Now they are able to take Lee and TO out of the game? Im sorry that unacceptable, we need to get the rock in their hands. Look at Reggie Wayne last week...with gonzo out with an injury Wayne still tacked up 160 yards...with no reliable option on the other side. If we are taking what we are given and moving the ball is one thing...BUT to say we CANT get Lee or TO the ball is insane!!!
I concur on about everything. The game plan and play calling and all were very good. But really, we only got 17 points on O. We need more. To do so, we need to get the ball in TO's hands way more than twice. Understand he dropped one and pushed off on another. But on the 2 he got, they were just short little routes where he was hit on the run and able to run a long way with. 2 catches 48 yards. Same with Evans. Even if they take out the long game blah blah blah, we can still get the ball in TO and Lee's hands more. That pick play would work no matter wether they're trying to take out the log pass or not.
Go BILLS !!

A-F%#king-Men.
Throw to TO on the run alot. When they start camping on TO throw it to Evans.
Let me get back to you on the no huddle. Still not sure about that one.
Run plays down at the end zone that are somewhat tricky. The ones I see other teams do all the time and score. Like the one where the TE runs behind the OL behind the LOS and then flares out for a pass wide open. Or, like I think it was the Fish last year. Line up with 2 or 3 TEs and 2 backs like you're going to pound it in. Fake the handoff. One of the TEs block and then releases his block and goes to the back of the end zone all by himself.
Alex must be reading TSW and taking my advice. The TD pass to #89 is the play I was talking about. And, it worked just as I described.
-
If they had won that game, I would have been happy with a 3-0 win over Tampa. Now, I am really banking on them to put a hurting on the Bucs.
I'd be happy with a 3-2 win. A W is a W is a W.
I just hope our guys don't get over confident and believe the crap about how bad TB is. I admit it. I'm a little nervous. But I think we'll win.
-
The guy lost all credibility with me on this:
"the Bills responded with what should have been a winning, confidence-soaring drive: 14 plays, 62 yards and a touchdown that pushed the lead to what should have been an insurmountable 24-13 advantage with 5:32 remaining. The Patriots had no answer for Buffalo's offense, which went no-huddle three times on that drive."
I'm thinking we went no huddle 14 times on that drive.
Saying that a winner would have the best return man in football take a knee is just plain silly. Sounds good now sure since we know he fumbled.
There is some truth is what he says though. Sometimes it seems like we're stuck on the brink of being good. 2 years ago we almost and should have beaten Dallas. Similar losses last year to Jets, Whiners, Clowns. So far we're starting this season the same way. But there were a lot of bright spots and we have the talent. If we can only it together and win some of these close games we could make the playoffs.
A good way to start would be to forget the prevent in the last 2:00 of a game.
-
TO's right. I hope Trent and Alex and Dick are listening. I'm sure Hamdan is.
-
Bump, just so you guys can get a look at this...
I didn't watch the vid but I know what you are saying. It's not that hard to spring a guy loose if you design a play for that purpose and the QB knows to throw it to him ahead of time without going through "reads". I hope you're right and Alex studies this and puts some of these into practice. The pick play to TO would be awesome and gain us a lot of yards.
-
I'm willing to bet we'll be seeing Roscoe back there sooner than later if this keeps up...
During the commercial timeout after the TD and Extra 2 Point conversion failure, I told my wife and daughter that we should put Roscoe back there since Leodis fumbled the previous one! If only they had listened. Of course Roscoe might have fumbled too.
-
Saying that Leodis should have downed it in the EZ is the ultimate in Tuesday Morning QBing. I want a guy returning kicks who is the best in the league to run it out! If he breaks it, game over! I don't know about you, but a 4 point lead with 2:06 to go against Tom Brady makes me very nervous. I've seen him come back from further with less time. I certainly don't want to give them another time out (2:00 warning). We may be able to get a first down maybe not. If he hadn't fumbled would the wiseness or lack thereof of running it out even come up for discussion around here? I think not.
You go Leodis.
We'll get 'em next time.
Go BILLS !!
-
If he's that freakin' fast, why can't we just send him on a post and let him outrun double coverage and safties underneath blah blah blah? Sometimes if the defense isn't giving you something, you just gotta take it anyway!
Which post-Kelly starting QB would you rather have?

This is total BS. While the Bills offensive line has not been great, it has been servicable. First 6 games of the year last year and against Yucks they have been OK and Trent's looked stellar. Then he has his bad games. Line is good in the good games and bad in the bad games? Maybe he's just not very good? Why blame it all on the line?
How in the heck is he able to complete 60% of his passes if he doesn't have time to throw?
