ThrowingFitz Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 The Defense: Defense looked good. A little soft in the secondary but that McKelvin INT was beautiful. Our linebacker core is playing above my expectations right now. The Texan run game was non existent. The Offense: Fred Jackson Fred Jackson Fred Jackson Receivers are running nice routes. Fred Jackson Special Teams: Coverage has been great. Carpenter is solid so far. Now follow up with what you liked. No ranting or b*&%hing.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Agreed on defense, especially run defense.
Bangarang Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) Basically everything but the QB and o-line. Wasn't Marrone supposed to be some o-line guru too? Edited September 28, 2014 by Bangarang
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Oline survived today. I thought both guards looked better than last week.
ThrowingFitz Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 I think he is limited to what he has on the roster. They did get better as the game progressed though. Did you guys see that block Fred had on JJ in the second quarter?
Mango Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Fred Jackson on the O for sure. QB was not great. WRs dropped passes, OL was terrible. I will say that compared to last week EJ had way more pressure and less protection in Houston. I was actually impressed with his ability to stand in the pocket, take the hit, and deliver tha ball quickly. There were about 6 plays where Chandler and the receiving corps did not back him up. Other than that correction by EJ and Freddy the offense was under whelming as a whole
ThrowingFitz Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 Number 99 is a beast for sure. He was held without a sack though.
stevestojan Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Another positive, EJ really made a quick decision, didn't over think, and didn't lob the ball on that pass to JJ.
Big C Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 (edited) You take away that pick 6, we win. That just can't happen. Otherwise the defense was once again efficient. The offense was horrible, and everyone made at least one mistake, with the exception of Fred and I think Woods. Edited September 28, 2014 by Big C

The offense was horrible, and everyone made at least one mistake, with the exception of Fred and I think Woods. you have to accept the pick 6, it was a great play and it happened. there were a lot of what ifs throughout the game, and there were certainly enough plays left on the field to overcome the jj watt td.
Big C Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 you have to accept the pick 6, it was a great play and it happened. there were a lot of what ifs throughout the game, and there were certainly enough plays left on the field to overcome the jj watt td. My point was that the rest of the team did enough to win, despite many errors by the offense. You can't make such a terrible error in their redzone like that. We talk about how EJ's game is conservative so as to not make those errors, but there he is making exactly the error he is afraid of.
Dorkington Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 Run defense looked great! I'm not terribly angry about the pick 6, that was simply a good play by the DL. Our running game looked good today, and when we stuck with it, it caused Houston to back off rushing the passer... Uh... uh... hm... that's about it
ThrowingFitz Posted September 28, 2014 Author Posted September 28, 2014 I think the Bills as a team did overcome the pick six. The defense kept their offense off the field. The offense answered with a long bomb to williams which was an excellent play call. You could feel the entire stadium deflate after the TD.
Best Player Available Posted September 28, 2014 Posted September 28, 2014 The Texans have cheerleaders

You can't make such a terrible error in their redzone like that. We talk about how EJ's game is conservative so as to not make those errors, but there he is making exactly the error he is afraid of. the rest of the team absolutely did enough to win, by a lot. my point was just that even with the pick 6, there were many, many opportunities to overcome it. and i agree, you have to do better in that situation.
atlbillsfan1975 Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 I think Richardson did ok for a rookie. The D is going to be special when Kiko gets back . Honestly, this team has talent everywhere except qb. I was watching the Falcons game thinking how the Bills would win the SB with Matt Ryan
The Underdog Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 The defense played great all day and I thought our running backs were very steady and good... Is there any word on Kyle's and Bradham's injury yet?
BillsVet Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 The biggest positive is Pegula has to be watching and making opinions of the current regime. A lot can happen, but there's no doubt regime change becomes more likely with losses like today's.
Johnny Hammersticks Posted September 29, 2014 Posted September 29, 2014 Number 99 is a beast for sure. He was held without a sack though. They may as well have given him a few. He must have hit EJ like 15 times.
ThrowingFitz Posted September 29, 2014 Author Posted September 29, 2014 They may as well have given him a few. He must have hit EJ like 15 times. Like I said... positives. He didn't get a sack. And what does that tell us? EJ was releasing the ball quickly because Watt was in his face.
