for those of us who live in the Jets market, Rex's response was no surprise.

he still hasn't learned that a bully with a fat lip and a bruised ego isn't helped by empty declarations of "we'll get 'em next time".

that's a cop out he disguises better than his best blitz. i was hoping he'd learned his lesson in NY, but apparently, he hasn't.

as a Bills fan - who'll be a Bills fan when Rex is off declaring his new team to be the best ever - i'd much preferred he learned to knock off the tired hyperbole, reassess his weaknesses, and teach his 'bully' how to fight

Corey Graham: "We Can't Win Like That" (2:04)
DB Corey Graham Discusses the way in which penalties ultimately lead to a loss against the Giants, and how those penalties can be corrected moving forward.

 

Watch: Penalties, Offensive Struggles Lead to Loss (3:15)
!@#$ Chris Brown wraps up the Giants-Bills game Sunday afternoon at Ralph Wilson Stadium. Penalties, run game struggles on both sides of the ball, and an inefficient offense leads to the Bills 24-10 loss to the Giants.

Rex's postgame tone misses the mark, 1st half dooms the #Bills & an excruciating pair of play calls. 7 observations: http://www.wkbw.com/sports/bills/joe-b-7-observations-from-bills-giants

Why is this being touted as a successful strategy? The Giants scored a TD on a broken tackle dump off and a pass on a 20-yard short field. Other than that, their offense looked pretty bad.

Purposely limiting your own offense is a successful strategy, as long as you don't get sacked much by our DL!:lol:

WHy do you subject yourself to this.....you are obviously unhappy?

 

Other teams would welcome your fandom

That is definately constructive.....

Are we no longer allowed to be unhappy with the Bills? We have to change teams if we are?

Seriously. Yes, they pulled this off just as brilliantly as the patriots, except for actually moving the ball. I mean, tip your hat to Jennings for turning a 6-yard loss into a 50-yard TD. Beyond that, what exactly did the Giants do?

They employed the strategy well enough to get a W. That's all that matters in the end. Eli's no Brady, but he's been around the block enough times unlike Luck and Tannehill who both struggled mightily against the Bills' D.

But not because of that. Their mimicking of the Patriots strategy had literally nothing to do with the win. Their defense got a turnover, and their RB made an unreal play. Other than that, they generated like 250 yards of offense.

 

My point is to only say that the narrative of "Giants copy pats strategy, which is what caused them to win" is simply false.

Sounds good though! :rolleyes:

They did get the ball out quickly to pretty much negate the Bills rush. Eli hit on some good passes in the 1st half as they built a 16-3 lead. Who cares about statistics? Only the W matters.

Well, the real story is: Eli and the Giants made two timely plays and avoided negative plays, but were otherwise totally shut down by the bills defense. Their strategy of quickly releasing the ball avoided sacks, but also led to virtually no offensive production, particularly of the kind that the pats generated in using the same strategy.

 

if I were the pats, I would be insulted by the narrative being painted about simply mimicking the pats strategy. No one can mimic that, since it depends solely on Brady.

Randle's "TD" catch. :oops:

 

CQgPTZ_VAAA0xMZ.jpg

This...and two TDs called back on garbage calls...and a garbage fumble with two defenders holding up Bobby Woods...and a phantom INT...

 

We took some bad penalties today but this was the absolute worst reffed game I have ever seen.

Players pledge to fix penalty outbreak

The Bills are averaging almost 12 penalties a game through the first month of the season, but the leaders in the locker room intend to rectify it this week.

 

What we learned: 39 takeaways from Week 4

The Eagles' offense was running through defenses in the preseason, but that hasn't translated to the regular season. The Dolphins are also have similar problems. Here's what we learned in Week 4

 

New York Giants 24, Buffalo Bills 10

1. After frying the Dolphins for 277 yards and three touchdowns in Week 3, Bills quarterback Tyrod Taylor returned to earth against the Giants. Passing for only 36 yards in the first half, Taylor struggled to build rhythm as Buffalo finished just 3 for 16 on third down and failed to register a completion over 20 yards until late in the second half. Without LeSean McCoy or Sammy Watkins on the field, Taylor also saw a pair of long second-half drives die in the red zone. He remains an intriguing and athletic young passer, but Taylor must get this offense going earlier next week against the Titans.

 

2. Eli Manning calmly led the Giants on three touchdown drives as the Bills committed one soul-crushing penalty after the next -- a whopping 17 in total, the second most by any team all year -- to help New York build an early 16-3 lead it wouldn't lose. It was a tale of two halves for Manning, though, as New York's offense mostly struggled over the final two quarters. When they find their flow, Big Blue's attack can hang with anyone, but the G-Men wouldn't have won this game without Buffalo crumbling under a mountain of yellow flags.

 

3. If you missed it, the battle between Buffalo's secondary and Giants wideout Odell Beckham deserves another look on Game Pass. Bills cornerback Stephon Gilmore was especially sticky in coverage for a unit that held Beckham to just five catches for 38 yards off 12 targets. Last year's Offensive Rookie of the Year, though, nearly pulled off a carbon-copy replica of his famous one-handed grab against the Cowboys last November.
