The Poojer Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I'm one of them and I got nothing... I want to hear from the "it's only preseason" crowd who expected a magical change at 1:00pm est into a contender. *crickets*
BillsVet Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 When the team QB throws interceptions on the first two offensive series of the game the defensive players start to collectively think: Why the F should I even try? Does that make sense? There are two types of teams in the NFL: those who have QB's and those who do not. Not coincidentally Buffalo has been without one for an entire season since the late nineties at the least when they last were went to the playoffs. Buffalo will go a another season without the guy consistent enough to get them into the post-season.

CardinalScotts Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) 1) Ribsrbroke Fitzpicksix 2) Defense gave up 10/14 third downs 3) ZERO sacks 4) Mario Williams 1 tackle, Mike Anderson Zero tackles, Kyle Williams 2 tackles, Darreus 1 tackle 5) gave up punt return for TD 6) Turned it over 4 times 7) Chan passed way too much early on - stuck with the pass even though Fitzpicksix was aweful. this pretty much sums it up, of course we over react - well every week. Spiller is absolutely electric this guy needs 25 touches a game, regardless of the opponent. Our wideouts vs jets defensive backs = jets advantage on everyone single match up wrong game plan. We never slowed them down on defense, turnovers or not some of the turnovers they still had to drive 65-75 yards and did with no problem. Onto week 2 lets get to 1-1 Edited September 9, 2012 by CardinalScotts

Then human nature does what it does to the teammates of the failing QB and the teammates decide to essentially quit. Why bother playing hard when the QB is throwing game losing interceptions?
Tom Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 DLine had no pressure partly because their receivers were so wide open. Sanchez had a 3 step drop & at least 2 guys with no defenders near them. That 'Fitzpicksix' Touchdown to Cromarti was right in front of where I was sitting & I'm still shocked he threw it, Horrible.
KD in CA Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 Coming into this game, I truly believed we had a better team than the Jets. And guess what, I still do. That's just delusional. Other than RB (and maybe not even that if FJ is done for the year), there isn't a single position group where the Bills have a clear edge over the Jets.
Nuncha Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 There is no excuse for not knowing assignments....that is coaching and study... There is an opportunity to end the first 6 games 3-3 without much effort (Wins KC, CLE, AZ) and if we can beat SF (highly unlikely) or NE at home (Like last year) 4-2 -- if we can get there we can make a second half run. Not ready to give up but this better be the last time we see the team that showed up at MetLife today. Beat SF in SF?? LOL! Whitner will probably pick six Fitzpicksix.
bruceisloose78 Posted September 9, 2012 Posted September 9, 2012 I want to hear from the "it's only preseason" crowd who expected a magical change at 1:00pm est into a contender. *crickets* The jets were worse than use in the preseason. they gave up 22 sacks a league high and their team only scored one touchdown. The bottom line is that we weren't ready to play today. We got flat out dominated by a team with mediocre offensive weapons. We need a qb so desperately it's insane.

SEOhio Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 I started chugging beer in the second quarter.......what happened?? Sorry......I know.......
missthe kgun Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Until Chan realizes that the strength of our offense is the ground game, we will suck Go Bills!!!
Al Cowlings Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 Coming into this game, I truly believed we had a better team than the Jets. And guess what, I still do. We didn't lose because of a lack of talent Bills fans. Despite what happened on the field today, I know we are much much better than this. The Jets came in hungry, trying to prove something to the NFL. We didn't. Not only the players, but the coaches assumed that our great offseason means we just have to show up and play, and we'll get victories. Well guess what, the Jets outworked us and wanted the win more. You could see the Jets were a lot more prepared to play than we were. As for Fitzpatrick, he needs to be better, and I think he will be. Some goes for the defense. Next week, I want to see that fire lit under us. We play a KC team that also got their asses kicked today, so it'll be an interesting game. BTW, I think Spiller will establish himself as one of the games best backs by seasons end, especially if Freddy is hurt for an extended period. Really, you need to be motivated extra 16 times in the NFL? If you cant get fired up for a season opener what does it take? As far as Fitztragic, the guy has heart but zero skills. He does good in mop-up time, like most back-ups do, because that is exactly what he is.
frogger Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 I wish it could be the off-season still, we were great in July...I miss July. On offense, buffalo's WRs do not spread the field we run lots of 6 yard routes Fitzpatrick may have the weakest arm in the NFL, combined with his throwing motion allow corners to jump routes. On defense, no pass rush, I thought they did well against the run. Where were our corners, a pass rush would help them, but it seemed like they were leaving WRs opened intentionally...no pass rush could get there. Special teams were just not special...maybe we shouldn't have a kick off specialist,
CodeMonkey Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 No way - this defense knows Fitz' limitations. So they mail it in! I don't blame them one bit if they do. Except for Spiller the entire team sucked ass today. But the line above is the biggest bunch of horse **** I have ever seen on this board. The D mails it in game 1 because they think Fitz sucks? I sincerely hope you were drunk when you wrote this so you have an excuse. Can't blame you for drinking heavily during that abomination.

You left out our punt return "coverage" and McKelvin's never hearing of the word.
Nyghtewynd Posted September 10, 2012 Posted September 10, 2012 We got embarrassed because we're one of the five worst professional sports franchises in the nation, because we have one of the five worst owners in the nation. Everything comes from that.
