ALLEN1QB Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Please don't extend spiller the guy just doesn't get it. We better make RB #1 Priority next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I hope someone asks Marrone this in his press conference Gotta keep them honest at the end of the game when they know youre passing. They know Fred/CJ can rattle off a 30 yarder at anytime (even though they didnt today). I have issues with the playcalling all day, but I understand sticking to the run.

Augie Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 (edited) I don't remember ever agreeing more, but I tend to be agreeable after a win. I'm with you most on #2 - how is that NOT interference on the throw to Sammy? It appeared to be the text book definition of interference, and it was an important play. Beyond that, I'm happy this young and talented team seems to be learning how to win. And, of course, I'm all over #16 and #17. P.S. A good kicker is worth every penny!

GunnerBill Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It isn't that they run CJ it is that they just try and run him up the gut all day. Even against a solid interior defensive line. But if Freddie is down next week then they gotta give Bryce Brown lots of the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Please don't extend spiller the guy just doesn't get it. We better make RB #1 Priority next year. Depends on what he wants but I dont disagree. Id just mention that we do have Bryce Brown on the roster, and will need to make DE a big priority next year.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Can anyone explain to me why we don't run the 'ole wide open TE touchdown play more often? Every other team does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 9] Fred is immortal. Yeah, I don't know how he does it. Seriously. I truly hope to see this football team make the playoffs. If they do, I'm coming up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bufcomments Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I hope someone asks Marrone this in his press conference They clearly have not figured out how to give Spiller the ball in space . That should get Hachett fired right there. Play calling had me shaking my head at times But the Bills D tho. AWESOME only gave up 7 points !! Well Done Ralph on the FG's blocks and the extra wind on Dan's Game winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Poojer Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Exactly. Orton did nothing better or worse than Ej. The ol needs work. Sammy is going to be worth way more than what we gave up. Two stellar defenses battled, one team had a horrible kicker, we didn't and we frigging won!!!! As far as #7 To be fair, EJ has dropped one or two in there like that as well. Maybe overly defensive of the kid but lets not give up on him yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwize Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Long time lurker. First time poster. I just wanted to say that the offense looked different today. You can usually see Woods look dejected after a bad pass, but as some of you folks have noted, he was playing his butt off. I like the screen looks from Orton to Fred. Remember when Spiller was used like this a lot? I think this needs to be used more. Overall, I think the team was fired up for the change at QB and it was reflected today. Go Bills!

ksm27 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Was anyone else furious about the timeout call on our 2nd to last drive after Orton hit Sammy over the middle to get us into Detroit territory? There's no way you shouldn't let the clock keep running there and ensure we are the last to hold the ball. Easily forgotten given all the craziness that ensued afterwards, but we could have had a first down at the Detroit 40 with appx 45 seconds left and instead we call timeout with - 1:18 maybe? - and promptly go 3 and out from there.

stony Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Who was the best DT on the field today not named M. Dareus??? Why no other than Stefan Charles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 are you serious?! that is seriously messed up, im so glad he hit that 58 yarder. Stadium security needs to do something about that I don't have a link to confirm it, but there was a tweet from a reporter that showed up in the shoutbox (forget by whom). But I remember seeing Carpenter signaling to his eyes to the ref after the kick when he wasn't touched, so it makes sense to me. Scummy move. We have been playing possum for 50 years. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRT88 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 My simplistic thoughts: 1. Our WR block like total crap! 2. that inside draw works OK with Jackson and is terrible with Spiller 3. Isn't there a way to use Jackson and Spiller together using motion to get the match you want? Spiller vs a linebacker in space 4. The defense was huge, they deserve an offense that can score 20+ points 5. Carpenter is great 6. I hate complaining but the officials were terrible and the Bills shoot themselves in the foot too often is horribly timed penalties 7. Glad Megatron was human today, he was basically a decoy before his was hit into being a fan 8. Is that was decent QB play looks like minus one god awful play GO BILLS! 3-2 with a monster game next week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. WEO Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Good stuff Bill. Orton looked rusty early, then settled down. Already looks like he has been starting all year. Looks like EJ may make it to his 3rd season and be, still, "technically a rookie", eh? Gilmore made an interdeption thrown right to him (and nowhere near the WR that had run by him. Nothing wrong with that. The holding penalty on him was bogus. But otherwise, he was not very good. Leodis had a nice play at the goal line (looked like a fumble to me). Otherwise, the usual--playing 5 yards off a guy catching a 3rd and 9 1st down pass. These guys shouldn't both be starting. CJ is a third testicle at this point. People saying he can "rip off a 30 yarder" or "he can take it to the house at any time" are delusional. It just hasn't panned out that way, ever. Having said that, this OC is still holding this team back, I think. This team has scored 7 offensive TDs in 5 games Maybe with a new QB and a bit more time, his ideas will change. Running Spiller up the middle doesn't soften up the D for the passing game. It just wastes a down. If Fred needs a breather, put in a more physical back for tha play. Also, out FG kicker is the main source of points, still. If the Lions had a comepetent FG kicker, we lose this game. Sammy will leave now doubt why he was picked where he was....

Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 1) Gotta start with a shout out to Carpenter. That kick was miraculous! Just freaking great!!!!! And it had a few yards left! 2) In the middle of the 3rd quarter, Watkins was mauled by the defender. The flag was tossed by the official who was RIGHT THERE and picked up. Is that how this works? The league should look into this. I HATE complaining about calls, but this was simply outrageous. Sadly, more to come on this topic. 3) Marcel Dareus played the game of his life. On his sack for a forced fumble, he was clearly held. Today, this kid was every single thing we wanted him to be in every way. 4) Here is the deal wrt Pears. He is an average Right Tackle. He doesn't suck at RT. He has no business playing Guard. NONE! But he retaliated on the late hit by Fairley, and he is a tough guy. I respect him for fighting for his teammates. 5) Help on the way, I know only this; I've got you today Don't fly away..... 'cause I love what I love and I want it that way. 6) Watkins was just SO good today, I am going to re-evaluate the trade, which I was totally against. 7) Orton? I need more time to sort out what he does. We probably all do. But his pass to Goodwin was each and every bit as good as it gets, no? 8) Woods was blocking his ass off today. He threw a block on a run by FJ in the 3rd quarter that MADE the play. 9) Schwartz was another person who confused me today. At the end of the first qtr., they rushed only 3 on 3rd and 8 and gave up a td. I KNOW that Pettine would have applied more pressure. That said, his defensive calls overall were VERY good imo. Let's face it, the defense kept us in the game, so I am going to give credit and thanks. 10) Have I blasted Gilmore when I saw fit to do so? Certainly. Well, the pass interference call against him in the 2nd quarter was absolute BS!!!!! If anything, Johnson hit him in his facemask. The truth is that he played a decent game today and this football team needs him to step up. I am thrilled to see him play well. 11) OK, I have a confession to make. I watched the game today in a crowded place. After one of Marcel's brutal sacks I yelled, "He's my son!" People were looking at me and the replay and gave me some room and strange looks. Yeah, I am a Bills fan. 12) Sorry, I am pissed at the fact that we had 2 delay penalties in the first quarter. We are not a good enough team to do this and win on a consistent basis. 13) Spiller was awful today. He can't see a hole. He dances and gains 2, if that. 14) Thank you Jerry Hughes for giving it your all on every play!!!!! Seriously, you go!!! 15) There is nothing that grabs me more than when the Bills fight back. Not one f*&^%$g thing. It makes them better people, better players, and it is what WE deserve as fans. 16) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 17) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

filthymcnasty08 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Anyone that says that Orton was "no better than EJ" is really trying too hard to force-twist reality. I was really enjoying this thread until someone tried to sneak that into the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
