A Few Thoughts About The Game, in no particular order.....

[Bill from NYC]

1) I try to keep personalities out of this, but I think that Edelman turns my stomach even more than Brady.

 

2) My prayers go out to Aaron Williams, and it was great to see the team praying for him.

 

3) The special teams coach lost control of his players early on and it really hurt us. That said, Rex deserves blame as well. More on Rex to come.

 

4) I know he gave up some passes, but Darby impressed me today once again. The 36 yard td to Gronk in the 1st quarter was a simply great pass. The coverage was spot on and there seemed to be little chance to complete that throw. It was just perfect.

 

5) Cordy Glenn was beyond awful today and he was pissing me off. He looked out of shape, lethargic and generally indifferent as to what was happening on the field.

 

6) I want to toss out some kudos to Felton. As Tyrod was rolling out on the 2nd quarter td pass to Clay, Felton held off a defender to give TT room and time to make the play.

 

7) How did it happen? How did Rex Ryan suddenly morph into Dick Jauron? Look, we don't have great coverage linebackers. Bradham is a pass rusher (and a good one), and Brown is a top run stuffer. Putting them in the secondary didn't work. And please remind me why we gave Hughes millions of dollars. Never mind, I remember...because he is a pass rusher!!!!! Today Rex reminded me of Dumbo Jauron sending Schobel out on coverage. We had the crowd noise and should have sent the kitchen sink after Brady!

 

8) It all rolls into one,

and nothing comes for free.

There's nothing you can hold,

for very long.

And when you hear that song,

come crying like the wind,

it seems like all this life,

was just a dream.

9) Gotta love Tyrod, no? The kid can truly get out of trouble and he has a nice spin on his passes. He never never quit. I know it's risky but I want to see him on more called running plays. It will loosen up opposing defenses.

 

10) Speaking of out of control, even Bradham got lured in. Edelman got in his face and he shoved the little runt pretty hard. I was waiting for a flag but I suppose the refs didn't see it. We can't have this. We lost too much field position today with unnecessary penalties.

 

11) Percy Harvin has a ton of talent, but in the 3rd quarter he short armed that long sideline pass. Hey, he would have got hammered but he could have caught it and didn't extend his arms. Please watch the replay and see if you disagree.

 

12) Is there any such thing as a perfect opening drive? The Bill mixed things up, beat them up, and ate 5 minutes of the clock.

 

13) Is anyone still concerned about Watkins and his numbers? If this kid stays healthy he will make plays. Period.

 

14) Bottom line is that Rex has to take control and straighten things out. It looks like he has a lot to work with.

 

15) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Prickly Pete]

All true, but the Penalties were the story of the game. That's on Rex Ryan. 2 weeks in a row.

 

The penalties not only killed anything the offense might get going, it repeatedly turned into great field position for the Pats.

[Alphadawg7]

Haven't you heard from the Watkins thread, the kids a bust. lmao

[zow2]

The undisciplined and drive extending penalties were a disgrace. It's all following Rex's bravado and it needs to be corrected asap.

 

The D made no adjustments today. Brady reads the defense and gets the ball out so fast that the D-Line has no impact. The Bills either need to play press coverage at the line of scrimmage or rush everyone. Sitting back and watching Brady carve them up all day with 10 yards outs to wide open receivers is nauseating.

[Peter]

I am still waiting for CBS to replay some of those "penalties" that were drive killers and those that gave us horrible drive starts.

[Coach Tuesday]

Rex can coach a veteran team but can he coach a younger one? The lack of leadership in the locker room showed today. Cutting a guy like Fred hurts you on days like today - no one else has stepped up to provide leadership and it results in escalating undisciplined play.

[dayman]

Don't always agree with your take but today your theme seems to be "out of control," and I think that's pretty much on point. We were out of control and they were executing exactly what they wanted to.

 

Rex wasn't ready for this game. Sad to admit, but we looked bad b/c of Rex. Not prepared, out of control, and shameful on D.

[Prickly Pete]

As Trey Wingo said, you don't treat the 2nd game like a playoff game. I'm worried that the team will be on an emotional rollercoaster. It's up to Ryan to control that.

[Greybeard]

If memory serves me right, two sacks in two games. Something isn't right. Getting 10 sacks off of Johnny Football is good for a big paycheck but it isn't going to help win this kind of game.

 

I still think Woods is a #1 Receiver.

 

Tyrod did what he had to do but he had happy feet quite often.

[LB3]

Great stuff!

[Lurker]

Sadly, I agree as well. The lack of discipline was a direct reflection of Rex's mid-week bluster and dubious gameday rep...

[dayman]

Might as well ride the down if it gives you an edge in practice to visit Miami next week. We need to come out mad next week...what happened today matters and the Bills (especially the defense) better take notice. I think they are capable but they were not who they say they are this week.

11- Yeah he was protecting himslef

12- great drive

13- I wish he actually got used like he should be

Paraphrase from Kyle Williams live presser:

 

"There's a different between coming out pumped up and then coming out totally without poise and doing idiotic things."

[stevewin]

The Dline should be ashamed not winning match ups against a line full of rookies. At some point I was hoping they would just start throwing the kitchen sink like they did against luck.

 

How do you not contain Gronk and Edelman. What happpened to the press coverage and being physical at the line that Everyone knows you need to do against them

 

The pats* hubris to keep passing and roll up stats with a big lead was almost their undoing. They were in a hurry up, up by 3 scores for cripes sake.

 

I can't believe they came back and had a chance at the end. Did anyone not think something tragic would happen that last drive however. I figured they would score, then mis the 2 pt conversion in glorious fashion ( maybe pick 2 going the other way)

 

Also, kudos to McCoy who played his heart out. If only most of the other guys matched his heart today

Edited September 20, 2015 by stevewin

[TC in St. Louis]

Tom Brady is a surgeon out there, and his receivers generally catch the ball when it hits their hands. The Amendola catch was a thing of beauty. When he ran the hurry up the Bills did not have time to adjust at all.

 

Cordy Glenn could use some help on the end out there.

 

Can't wait to hear the press conference.

If true, why did he get sacked 8 times?

1) We need to take out that POS Edelman.

 

4) Darby was the only guy I saw on D from start to finish.

 

8) I was thinking Hell in a Bucket, but Stella is better, because NFW we're enjoying the ride.

 

11) Percy definitely alligatored it, and I said it in the game thread. If he lays out, he makes the catch. Chickenshit play by him.

[D. L. Hot-Flamethrower]

If true, why did he get sacked 8 times?

Ah, maybe because he didn't get adequate blocking most of the time. DUH
