MaineMoxie Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Nice link. Thanks. Helluva play by Wood. He was pretty wrapped up when he stepped over to take out Briggs.
LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Very encouraging to see the improvement with EJ and o-line. If it continues we could be pretty damn good the second half of the season. Seems in the last week things around here have got a little brighter. What a day huh? To all who are going Sunday have fun, and get the Ralph Rockin. GO BILLS!!!!!
mykidsdad Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Loved the stiff arm. My son and I were running around the house like crazy people. I haven't had much to really point to these last few years to inspire my young brood of potential fans. That was epic, classic Buffalo. Old guy. Underdog. Underrated. Hard working. Runs the ball in OT down the safety's throat, no stepping out of bounds, no retreat. Nothing fancy. And Conte is on his Butt. I still Jackson scored on the play. How beautiful, regardless. This is a great day to be in Bill's Nation. So is this game the "Jackson Stiffarm Game" or the "Kyle Williams Interception Game?" Maybe that's a good question for the whole Bills universe.
Captain Hindsight Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Many of these signs were present in the preseason. It was hard to get that across with the din of the noise from those who were constantly criticizing EJ at every turn. Yup. I saw plenty of improvement at camp and in the games that was drowned out by negativity. EJ needs work for sure. But he's closer to solid starter than bust
Fan in Chicago Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Maybe Briggs should have gone to practice on Monday instead of going to a BBQ Agree. I have seen some arguments that he is a veteran and doesn't need to be there. But I think it is a matter of focus and team chemistry. Maybe he is just getting long in the tooth, but if he practiced with the team all week, he would have given people one less reason to call him out.
YoloinOhio Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Note that Chandler looks like he's pulling around to block into that gap. And if he is, he misses. Badly. Eric Woods forearm blocks better than Chandler. we could save a roster spot.
Nextera15 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Great stuff. Thank you so much! GO BILLS
Big Turk Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Jeremy White's A-22: http://www.wgr550.com/JW-All-22-Review-Bills-Bears/19869992 A lot to like here, let's hope EJ and crew continue to get better. Loved seeding Eric Wood crush Lance Briggs (who had a terrible game). Sunday is going to a pretty amazing atmosphere - Let's Go Buffalo!! Yeah, Briggs was probably trying to think what new dishes he could add to his restaurants menu during the game instead of playing...lol
Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 (edited) Jeremy White's A-22: http://www.wgr550.co...-Bears/19869992 A lot to like here, let's hope EJ and crew continue to get better. Loved seeding Eric Wood crush Lance Briggs (who had a terrible game). Sunday is going to a pretty amazing atmosphere - Let's Go Buffalo!! This is a great thread. Loved the All 22 post and hoping White will continue it There must be great plays in every game, but these from buffalobills.com really psyched me up. In addition to the already-discussed FredEx Forearm of Doom 1) Seldom get a chance to see just how good Easley really is on ST. Blocking the jammer into the PR, Monster. And he kind of acts like he's done that before. 2) Last year, we had maybe 1/2 a WR who could make those two catches (SJ when healthy and motivated). This year we have 3 WR who can make those catches, and will. When EJ succeeds, it's the team decision to craft a top WR corp that will make him. 3) Mario can be a monster. We have the players, let's hope they stay psyched up and determined and Great Things will happen. PS is it just me, but overall do you feel like our players may be better in strength and conditioning this year? I guess we'll see as the season wears down. Edited September 10, 2014 by Hopeful
PromoTheRobot Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Yup. I saw plenty of improvement at camp and in the games that was drowned out by negativity. EJ needs work for sure. But he's closer to solid starter than bust I took a lot of guff for my thread saying the o-line play in preseason was making EJ look bad, including from one noted member of TBD who insinuated EJ was not well-liked by his teammates.
DC Greg Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Eric Wood is a strong man. That little shoulder/forearm shot he gave Briggs knocked him clean off his feet. What a block. EJ looked much better. Hope he continues to improve. Kyle Williams made just an incredible play on that INT. It's hustle, anticipation, and athleticism all in one. What a huge play for a D-lineman.
thr_wedge Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 We need more Eric Wood and Kyle Williams!!
l< j Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 This is all stuff I can't see at game speed. How much better is the fan experience because of this stuff? This is a great thread. Loved the All 22 post and hoping White will continue it There must be great plays in every game, but these from buffalobills.com really psyched me up. In addition to the already-discussed FredEx Forearm of Doom White did them for every game last year, too, pretty sure. Thanks for that link. Hadn't seen Easley's play yet. How fun was that? kj
thebandit27 Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Good All-22 from Buffalo Rumblings as well: http://www.buffalorumblings.com/buffalo-bills-analysis-all-22/2014/9/10/6131001/bills-vs-bears-2014-ej-manuel-passing-all-22-breakdown

This year we have 3 WR who can make those catches, and will. When EJ succeeds, it's the team decision to craft a top WR corp that will make him. Watching those two catches makes me cringe. Great effort, but both of those plays could have resluted in jacked up WRs, especially the Woods catch. The only reason he wasn't destroyed is because the safety was watching the ball hoping for an Int if Woods couldn't pull it in. If he had gone for the straight tackle, Woods would have been blasted. EJ has to keep those throws down. Watching that Easly play over and over was great! That should have been on all of the post game shows. Even though the score was so close, we really embarrased a few of their players. The KW interception, Easly rag-dolling his blocker, and of course the stiff-arm (now two stiff arms!). Poor Konty; had the interception earlier in the game, but won't be remembered for anything but getting put on his arse.
Coach Tuesday Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 Love watching Eric Wood pancake Lance Briggs' corpse with one arm. Amazing.

The physicality of this team compared to years past is impressive so say the least. This isn't the same old Bills. They are hard hitting, fly to the ball, take the ball and beat the **** out of you in the process. Very fun to watch

He looked possessed.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 10, 2014 Posted September 10, 2014 @ChrisTrapasso #Bills fans, take a look at @TheJoeMarino's TL for some All-22 vines from Week 1's win against the Bears.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 How the Buffalo Bills have utilized Sammy Watkins (so far) Sammy Watkins participated in all but one of the Buffalo Bills' passing plays in Week 1. He was targeted just four times and had three receptions for 31 yards. On those passes, Watkins was five, one, 19, and 40 yards past the line of scrimmage.
