Official 2nd Half Thread Bills vs. Saints

[Max997]

why are they wasting out time just give him the touchdown you know you are anyway

 

They are not wasting a timeout as scoring plays are automatically reviewed...this isn't new

[Not at the table Karlos]

That was a bull **** call on Hughes on 3rd

[marcre]

ESPN people were tweeting Graham wouldn't play today. Good info.

[Buffalo Barbarian]

if Only Grego was allowed to draft Brees, would have been the only good thing he did as HC here.

[Big Turk]

At some point, you just have to admit a team like New Orleans, playing at home is simply better then we are...plain and simple

[BuffaloBillsForever]

The saints offense has already started 5 possessions starting at the 40 or better.

 

This game isn't on the defense. It's the only reason we are "in it" in the 3rd.

 

Oh and Marrones team has a bigg issue with penalties.

[run dat back]

"28-3"???

[Nasty]

ok now that we are down by 18 lets run the ball on every down.....lol how about a screen or something quick crossing patterns something to beet the blitz....huh

[Buffalo Barbarian]

Twice Bills have given up touchdowns after a penalty lets the Saints drive continue...once McKelvin intercepted the ball, the other Byrd knocked it down...those are 14 points we've given them after stopping them...untimely penalties on D continue to kill us

 

and poor coverage

[DR109]

How about more creative and less predictable play calling

 

Notice no one really complains about Pettine?

 

Thats because all these people blame the players not executing as opposed to Hackett calling bad and predictable plays. Granted if every player won every individual battle then every play would work well BUT...there is nothing more predictable than run run pass....NOTHING.

[Simon]

Hacketts turtle impression with 3 minutes left in the half set the tone for the rest of this one

[BRH]

 

 

You talking about the saints or bills?

 

Only one good team on the field today whose mistakes are uncharacteristic, and it ain't the Bills.

[ganesh]

We held on for a little bit, but this team seems to be too much for us. It's getting out of hand. We need to score a TD on this drive, or it's going to get ugly.

 

This defense is not as good as advertised. They had their chances, but too many mental mistakes.

[BringBackFergy]

swinging gate??

[Roc Bronson]

LOL at least this Sun my anxiety won't be unbearable. I knew this was gonna be ugly..

[Big Turk]

The saints offense has already started 5 possessions starting at the 40 or better.

 

This game isn't on the defense. It's the only reason we are "in it" in the 3rd.

 

Untimely penalties have given the Saints 14 points..one negating an INT by Mckelvin, the other giving them a first down after a third down incompletion that would have forced a punt...too many mistakes on both sides of the ball, especially when you are not as talented

[DR109]

we're not done yet here either....our guys don't give up

[OldTimer1960]

wonder how motivated this defense will be when we are 3-9 or 4-8 at week 12?

 

Yes, this is exactly what I was worried about when Manuel first went down. The defense has fought hard every week and were making great progress, but when the offense is so anemic, it has to be hard for the defense to stay motivated knowing that there is no way they are going to win unless the D pitches a shutout AND scores some points on their own.

 

Things could go downhill fast unless they find a way to generate SOME offense some how.

[Nitro]

Let me guess....run right....

[Max997]

Run run pass to start second half on the road down 18 after defense forced a punt

 

And there are people that don't see a problem with Hacketts play calling
