jahnyc Posted October 4, 2015 Posted October 4, 2015 Some thoughts below: 1. The o-line underperformed today. Other than Incognito, the overall unit is weak, and there were no running lanes for Williams. CK may never have starting ability. The o-line still needs upgrading. 2. Not having Watkins and McCoy hurt. McCoy has not been 100%, but teams respect his abilities, including catching the football. Williams was used in a fairly one-dimensional way (other than his one catch), and I do not think the Giants defense was particularly concerned about Williams making plays in the passing game. 3. I think Carpenter will be cut, particularly since Rex seemed to have issues with him in preseason and keeping a kick-off specialist on the roster. 4. I think that Taylor's ankle may be bothering him more than we know. 5. Rex and the defense need to regroup and figure out how to defend the quick, short passing game. This is the blue print for beating the Bills' defense. Brady is exceptional and Eli can be highly accurate. Not all QBs will be able to execute this game plan, but the defense needs to be prepared for it since it has been neutralizing our pass rush and overall aggressiveness. 6. The penalties are beyond aggravating. There are no excuses. I thought the Giants defense should have been flagged for a couple of late hits on Taylor. Oh well. 7. Miami and Indy may be pretty weak teams. Hard to judge our team based on those victories. Have to say that we were out-coached by the Pats and the Giants. 8. I think there is talent on the team, but the question is whether the team has been built in a smart way. Not sure we will know the answer until later this season. 9. Special teams coverage and returns have been noticeably worse than last year. No idea why since the coach and the players are the same. 10. Really tough to be a Bills fan sometimes. Today was one of those days. I was excited for the game and I had high expectations. Losing two out of three at home is bad. Now I am not sure what we have here.
BringBackFergy Posted October 5, 2015 Posted October 5, 2015 I can't respond to this until I watch Rex's post game locker room speech on my Buffalo Bills app. Feel the Rush!!!!!!!

No running game whatsoever today. They looked unprepared on both sides of the ball in the 1st half and showed about zero passion. They got beat on both lines today. I really don't understand why the D line looked so inept. They didn't win many matchups.
