Freddie's Dead Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 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.

26CornerBlitz Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The lack of disciplined play by the Bills today is alarming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob's House Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Half way through the 3rd I thought we were the same old Bills. After the last 20 I think maybe, but maybe not. TT seemed to settle down and make some plays. Is this the Fits Bills that would bring you back only to choke, or a solid team going through growing pains? I don't know. I'm not happy, but at least I have hope. Â Edit: Agreed on Glenn. I'm tired of the idea that we need to appease him because he had a promising rookie season. I like having him but he's not worth premium LT money. Edited September 20, 2015 by Rob's House Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Ah, maybe because he didn't get adequate blocking most of the time. DUH So he has no ability with his 4.4 speed to get out of the pocket? I would think he has better skills to make broken plays and not look like Drew Bledsoe in the pocket.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 In retrospect, this was the stone cold lock of the week. Patriots impressed in the Thursday opener, then had 11 days to prepare for the Bills. And it showed. It was Josh McDaniels 1, Rex Ryan 0. Â The "Build a Bully" getting out of control is on Rex too. It looked more like "Build a Raiders East" version of a bully. Time to cut the macho crap and play good fundamental football. Â Bradham on Gronk. I swear I thought I saw Jerry Hughes on Gronk once (not a completion, but still). The Pats moved the ball effortlessly. Stop talking about best defense in football until you can stop these guys. Virtually no pressure from the vaunted Front 4 (anyone else think Bryant looked better than Dareus? Mark my words: signing a huge DT to a long term deal almost never works out), and when they did blitz later on, the Pats had it covered all but a couple times. 466 yards passing. Does an elite defense ever give up 466 yards passing? Â That opening drive was near perfection. And after looking like a confused rookie in the 2nd and 3rd quarters, the freewheeling Tyrod showed us something in the 4th. Other than that, I cringe to say it, but ... same old Bills, same old Patriots .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 The lack of disciplined play by the Bills today is alarming! For sure 26. That has been the knock on Rex before, and it appears nothing has changed. We can all complain about the calls but it makes no difference. Can't put yourself in a situation where the ref can call some of that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truth on hold Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Tyrods not seeing over the middle from the pocket. And not just passing lanes but rushing lanes too. He's better out of the pocket because he doesn't have to try and look past his blockers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 If you thought he looked like Drew Bledsoe out there. God help us. My point is there is no way a guy with his quickness should be sacked 8 times. NFW! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 My point is there is no way a guy with his quickness should be sacked 8 times. NFW! Agreed. And Tyrod looked horribly confused out there between the end of the first drive and the end of the third quarter. The near-safety sack was unnecessary and a killer, causing that short snap line drive punt, followed of course by a stupid penalty and a 15 yard Pats TD drive ...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 That's the scary part, he probably SAVED the O-line another 8 sacks out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look can you honestly say that the supporting cast did what it needed to do to HELP a QB making his second start. From Roman to Clay to the OL they needed to be better.

Nuncha Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) Penalties and lack of discipline on this team (coaches and players) is disgusting - big reason why I couldn't stand Rex when he was in NY. It's tough enough to beat New England - lack of discipline gave them drive starts on our 13 and 30 yard line. You CANT do that against this team if you want to win.

The Frankish Reich Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Â I hope you're wrong, but this could be a real problem. I think Tyrod rolling out, or at least taking a couple steps to either side will constitute 80% of his pass plays going forward. I've never seen that charted for Russell Wilson, but I imagine the percentage is pretty high with him too to allow him to get those clear lanes.

The near-safety sack was unnecessary and a killer, causing that short snap line drive punt, followed of course by a stupid penalty and a 15 yard Pats TD drive ... It's weird. He buys himself some time in the pocket and then looks lost and takes a sack. He had plenty of chances to roll out of the pocket and run or toss it downfield. It's like he was stubborn in the 2nd and 3rd Qtrs wanting to show he could make plays from the pocket. Forget that. He needs to be an athlete and roll outta there. Good things happened late when he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
