Kelly the Dog Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Whomever wrote that article actually watched the game close and knows some football. One minor little item which I disagreed with is when he said that Redman's 14 yard run was negated by a holding penalty to Pouncey and that was where the hole was, meaning the run wouldn't have happened without the hold. What I saw was the hole between the guard and tackle, not the center and guard, and the run would have gained 14 with or without the hold, which came after Redman was through the hole. The first part of the block was okay, then Pouncey just tackled his man. It was a good call, I just think it would have been a big gain without it.

The author neglected to mention that the referee announced the penalty against Pouncy, but actually flagged Willie Colon, the LG on the play. It was really obvious watching the play, as he threw the flag right at big #74, but then announced #53.
Heitz Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 None of that article can be true, can it? I much prefer the nonsensical ramblings of several loudmouth malcontents...
Fan in San Diego Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Good analysis. Don't hit the fire alarm yet.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 No, DAMMIT! I AM GONNA PANIC! WE NEED A RIOT!
Jerry Jabber Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Good analysis of the starting unit. I think the starting defense did a great job up until the final drive before the half. One thing I wish Bills defenders would start doing is turning their heads around, so they can make a play on the deep pass. I've seen numerous Bills defenders in position to make a play, but failed to turn their head around in time, resulting in a catch for big yards.
K-9 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Thanks for that link. Nice read. I can only hope that Barnett gets beat like that in coverage every time. He couldn't have played Dwyer any better on that 33 yard reception. GO BILLS!!!

Mr. WEO Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 The starting DL, LBs and Cordy all impress. http://www.profootba...steelers-bills/ I don't see anything in this article that hasn't been stated by either the "pollyanas" or the "pessimists" here already: Glenn looks good. Offense doesn't look good. Dline looks good. LBs looking suspect against the pass. Where's the news here?
K-9 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Except to turn around and look for the ball...his adjustment was poor IMO Tough play even for a good CB to make, let alone an LB. Perfect throw by BR is what it took and that's what Dwyer got. The back shoulder throw is the hardest to defend. I just can't find too much fault with Barnett on that play. GO BILLS!!!
PromoTheRobot Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Except to turn around and look for the ball...his adjustment was poor IMO Except Ben's pass was perfect. There was nothing Barnett could have done there. I almost dropped my beer seeing how well Rothlisberger threw that pass. Un-frickin'-real. Like throwing a strike to the inside corner from 35 yds away. PTR
marauderswr80 Posted August 27, 2012 Posted August 27, 2012 Nice article!! This board is full of people who love Buffalo Bills football, but dont truely know the game of football.....the in's and out's! Look guys.....we are heading into the season 100% healthy all over the field....we have depth now, some positions more thin then others.... Really....whats the outcome of preseason going to mean when its week 12 and we are fighting for the wildcard? Not a damn thing! Thanks for posting that article!
