Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Sorry if this is a repost, I looked and didn't find any threads with this article from Stephen White at sbnation.com. "Rex Ryan's defensive game plan last Sunday against the New England Patriots was as soft as puppy ****. That's my big takeaway after watching the film. I couldn't understand how the Bills could go from absolutely annihilating the Colts and Andrew Luck just a week ago, to turning around and giving up damn near 500 yards passing and 40 points in a loss to the Patriots. So I turned on the coaches tape to try to get to the bottom of how Tom Brady torched the Bills defense so effectively this weekend. The film tells me at least part of the reason for the Bills' disparate performances in their last two games was much less aggressive play calling from Ryan against New England. The eye in the sky don't lie. And that friggin' sucks." http://www.sbnation.com/2015/9/23/9375125/bills-patriots-tom-brady-rex-ryan-defense-breakdown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CountryCletus Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I agree 100% with all that article. Rex talks it, time to walk it Rex explained his play calling for the D already... Why would you bring the house when Brady doesn't hold the ball long enough to get to him? F you bring more and get to him two or three more times, how much more would you give up??

FireChan Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 But why did he have the corners so far the line of scrimmage? Because Julian Edelman never catches 10 balls in the 2-10 yard range. Rarely ever happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gavin in Va Beach Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 jam that punk at the line. Edelman is my most disliked Patriot. Screw jamming him, have an LB line up across from him and block him right into the flippin' ground! Can't stand that guy either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CountryCletus Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 But why did he have the corners so far the line of scrimmage? Just because! Lol... Has nothing to do with the subject of why he didn't blitz more... I have no explanation, not have I heard anything about it... I actually noticed quite a bit of press They played a lot of zone, maybe that's why.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheJuice Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I sort of see it as Rex/Thurman taking a risk by calling the game this way. I expected some of this approach, but with a bit more exotic pressure. I thought Robey had a real chance to shine in coverage and blitzing. The pace of the offense and formations were working for NE, and Brady is nearly impossible to stop when he's on. Rex deserves some heat here. He was out-coached. If he dialed up a lot of pressure and Brady had torched them anyways, what would the review be on that? I think less scathing. Thus, it was riskier to play it conservatively. The lack of timely adjustments is concerning. The intensity with which NE was studying the pictures on the sideline was noticeable to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't advocate for what he did but discusses it and shows what did and didn't work. Some was execution. Also, in his 2 games thus far, Brady has faced blitz 26 times, and has a 73.1% completion percentage, 5 TDs, 0 INTs and a 141.5 passer rating. So blitzing more probably not the answer either.

die hard bills fan Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Agree with article 100% Rex isn't a dummy so don't know why adjustments weren't made in the game.

Was he being stubborn and sticking with his D scheme no matter what happened? there were adjustments made, apparently. I'm no guru by any means, just going by what the film guys say. But the adjustments only worked in some cases, others the Pats* players made great plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Best Player Available Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Agree with article 100% Rex isn't a dummy so don't know why adjustments weren't made in the game. Was he being stubborn and sticking with his D scheme no matter what happened? Maybe he had no plan B? it sure seemed that way. Not smart coaching against the super bowl champs. The D in what I saw never made any adjustments in 4 quarters. brady had multiple open targets on many plays. The Hoodie*** owns Rex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 jam that punk at the line. Edelman is my most disliked Patriot. Why, because he's good and devours Buffalo? Yes, he can get under your skin with his antics but he certainly isn't alone in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
