Bill from NYC Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 1) All Preston Brown, Bradham and Spikes did today was kick peoples asses. This is one trio of tough, badass linebackers. 2) The pick by Orton in the early second quarter (in the end zone) was a bad one. It actually looked like a rookie mistake. More on Orton to come. 3) Gilmore was getting beat on short passes in the entire first half. I must however say that he came around and had an all around good game. 4) I am concerned about Cordy Glenn. He looked like a plodding Right Tackle today imo. I don't know what his problem is but it is a concern. 5) I live in a silver mine, and I call it Beggar's Tomb. I got me a violin and I beg you call the tune. Anybody's choice, I can hear your voice. Wo-oah what I want to know-oh, How does the song go? 6) Sammy Watkins is hobbled. There is no debate here. I really do hope that his condition doesn't get worse. 7) A few have you have taken me to task about my praise of Mr. Searcy. Don't get me wrong, I love the dialogue but there is no longer any doubt how much value he brings to this football team. Once again, he will be a head coach some day. This man is PURE football. 8) This game appeared to be slow today in terms of the footing. Nobody looked THAT fast. Do you agree? In the Alabama game last night players on both teams were flying all over the field. Maybe it was be me. 9) In the credit where it is due department, Orton came around and was able to hit Woods with some truly nice passes. The TD to Hogan was also a great play. 10) The passes to Gray were very good, however strange, no? The guy looks like Hercules and ran out of bounds. Plus, he seemed to be alone on both of his big plays. I admit it, I didn't know that the man was on our football team. I had really no idea what was going on lol. 11) This defensive line reminds me of the one in which Bryce Paup had 17 1/2 sacks and was the NFL Defensive MVP. They take turns having great games and feed off of what is happening with each other. Mario was doubled all day and I think held more often than not. His fellow linemen were able to take advantage of this. How great is that?! My hope is that the Bills offer a big contract to Hughes right now. He is a modern day Bryce Paup imo. 12) I really like Marrone, but I am not his biggest fan in terms of being a head coach. That said, he was great today. It was his best game ever in terms of taking control and managing game and the clock, or so I think. 13) I am on a personal quest to be a better person. I won't go into this but I am going to regress just a bit. Watching KW knock that little obnoxious twit on his ass was a sight to behold. 14) Congrats my friends. We truly do deserve good days. 15) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
NoSaint Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 To point 12-- the end of the first half was pretty miserable. Did he do something good to end the game? Seemed like a basic grind it out. Just curious if I missed something

Just cuz you are being a better person doesnt mean you have to wear rose coloured glasses. Gilmore was awful today! I like the rest of your post!
TakeYouToTasker Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Bill, I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with some personal issues. You're in my prayers.
GunnerBill Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I'm with you on the Searcy train. Underrated football player.
Bill from NYC Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 Bill, I'm sorry to hear you're dealing with some personal issues. You're in my prayers. Thanks but it's not like that. It's all cool.
Dan Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Good to see you back, Bill! I gotta say, Kyle Williams shoving Manziel down like that was amazingly awesome! Regarding Sammy, anyone think he may be hitting the proverbial "rookie wall"?
thebandit27 Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 I pretty much agree with all of that. The only bone I'd pick is that I didn't like Marrone's coaching, especially in the first half. And I think I speak for all of us when I say that it's good to see this thread back again, Bill. Cheers.
Mr. WEO Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Sorry, but #13 was my favorite item. Although Manziel's first series (80 yards, 3 minutes, never touched) right off the bench, had the Bills D completely flat footed.
GunnerBill Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Although Manziel's first series (80 yards, 3 minutes, never touched) right off the bench, had the Bills D completely flat footed. It did. Ran the same play 3 times though, twice on that drive and once later - I don't think they had a big playbook for him. He is a big adjustment for a defense set up to play Hoyer so that tempers things a bit.... but he looked the sharpest QB I saw in that game today and I am a JF doubter.
Big C Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Just cuz you are being a better person doesnt mean you have to wear rose coloured glasses. Gilmore was awful today! I like the rest of your post! Gilmore was awful because he "let" one of the best receivers in football get 75 yards? I don't know how you can look at that performance and say any one player on the defense had a bad game. Everyone did their part and we dominated that offense.

Thank you so much. Marrone killed the clock and kicked field goals. He trusted the defense and he was correct in doing so. Make no mistake, I am not trying to sell Marrone as a head coach to you nor anyone else. But the truth is that imo he did his job very well today.
Special K Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Good to see you back, Bill! +1 Always a fan of your post-game thread...it was certainly missed the last couple of weeks.
Bill from NYC Posted November 30, 2014 Author Posted November 30, 2014 Another comment....Joe Thomas, going against Hughes, was penalized often. This says great things about Hughes. I hope that they offer him a new contract tonight. He needs to stay on our football team.
GunnerBill Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Yep. This weekly post is the single best post on this board. Delighted it is back Bill.
Gray Beard Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Orton is just too immobile. Hackett is too cute. This was a poor run defense. I would have had Boobie run the ball on every first down and probably most second downs as well. Cordy Glenn got up gingerly a few times that I saw. He isn't 100%. Fred is great at following blockers. He isn't a pure power back. Why did they use him that way? Saw a few creative screens. Good to see it. Terrible third down statistics. Won't beat a real team with this offense, no matter how good the defense is. Woods got a PI penalty on one of those plays when the DB collides with the WR as he makes his cut. I don't really like those calls, but it was about time the Bills got one. There were a lot of penalties, which is to be expected with this ref crew, but at least they seemed to be spread evenly. No way that was an incomplete pass. He was bringing it towards his body. A gun slinging QB is fun to watch, but I wouldn't bet my season on one. No spy on a running QB? Schwartz should know better than that.
Fixxxer Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Please, no more Freddie "punt catching". He muffed the punt today, twice on the year. No credit to Marrone for going for it on 4th down today?
YoloinOhio Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 (edited) Just cuz you are being a better person doesnt mean you have to wear rose coloured glasses. Gilmore was awful today! I like the rest of your post! awful? Gordon was targeted 13 times and had 75 yds and 0 TDs Edited November 30, 2014 by YoloinOhio
Fixxxer Posted November 30, 2014 Posted November 30, 2014 Can't believe the refs didn't call a penalty on the Brown player that had a piece of Watkins' jersey in the 2nd QTR. Refs always throw the flag on those clear holds.
