Nihilarian Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 9) I am not sold on Rex Ryan as a coach. Far from it but let's give credit where it's due. He coached a fine game today. 10) What caused the pick by Lawson right after the deuce? Wait, I know.....PASS RUSH!!! Dareus rushed him, crushed him, and made him throw early. Why on earth did we have to wait for game 16 to see this? 13) Well, here we are again. Our season is over and we missed the playoffs yet again. Still, there is a lot to talk about this off season. The Bills are a bit of a train wreck, but I for one think we can turn it around with some luck, work, and a big dose of common sense. 15) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm not sold on him either and for the life of me can't comprehend as to why this new owner is still sold on him after so many issues with the team this season and it wasn't on the offense. The Bills did well against Dallas QB Kellen Moore last week too. If Romo had played and the Jets had an actual NFL starting QB the Bills still lose those last two games despite the better play and coaching IMO. I love what Greg Roman has done with the offense this year!
snafu Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Gillislee should get a lot of credit for being asked to run into that Jet defense all day. He was needed and he came through.
blargo Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks Bill for your take. I really like reading these, even when we disagree!!! PLease keep these up, it is always on my must read list!!!!
mead107 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks Bill and sure glad you are on the mend. Stay healthy my friend.
Numark3 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 He was the second leading receiver on the team today and made some clutch plays. Your innuendo was not called for, but if saying something this dumb makes you feel better about yourself or just good in general, I am happy for you. Hmmm. Why single out Salas for having "heart?" It's predictable and silly
BmarvB Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Butler was lucky! That could have been a TD that put the Jets in the playoffs. Good hit though.Yes, Sammy is a star in the making, and TT IS our QB going forward. He's earned it.
RevWarRifleman Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks, Bill for all the posting this year. I'm going to miss them during the off season. God bless and hope you have a great off-season.
BuffaninATL Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 He was the second leading receiver on the team today and made some clutch plays. Your innuendo was not called for, but if saying something this dumb makes you feel better about yourself or just good in general, I am happy for you. agreed with you Bill - the disparaging description of Salas & Hogan by Crayola64 was in fact dumb. No value add whatsoever.
Maury Ballstein Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Hmmm. Why single out Salas for having "heart?" It's predictable and silly No one cares. Way to poop on the thread with your nonsense. Happy New Years Bill. Solid wrap up of the season. Salas played well. Used to like him when he played for university of Hawaii.
smuvtalker Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 (edited) Thanks for all your great posts, Bill. I enjoy reading them every week, and they've certainly become a "must read" for me after the game. Have a great off-season, and already looking forward to more great posts for the 2016 season! 2016, the drought ends! Edited January 3, 2016 by smuvtalker
Chandler#81 Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks for another great season of posts, Bill. Already looking forward to next year. I echo Rubes. Relieved you seem to be on the mend. Your post game threads are iconic here. Go Bills!
Webster Guy Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Now that we're talking about heart, how about that Dareus play at the end getting to Fitz and causing the pick. That's what you call digging deep and kicking ass. He's such a strong dude, nice to see him end the season like that, tossing a 300 pound NFL guard.
yungmack Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks, Bill, for another season of Must Read reports. Stay healthy 'cause I'm already waiting for your commentaries this autumn.
1st&ten Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 Thanks for your reports Bill----Happy New Year & see you next year. Bills are a bit of a train wreck but with a few changes I think we'll be pretty good next year.
The Frankish Reich Posted January 3, 2016 Posted January 3, 2016 The most astounding thing today: I thought Rex outcoached Bowles. The Jets stepped up with the idiotic penalties/forced timeouts (10 men on the field on offense?) including the Richie-baiting PF. Yes, Salas is the NFL version of a replacement-level WR, but let's give the guy some credit -- he came in and did every bit as well as Robert Woods in that role, which probably says as much about Woods as it does about Salas. Players who just may have earned themselves another season in a Bills uniform: - Gragg. Nice work blocking from what I could see, and I think he has enough ability to work himself into the passing game next year. - Lawson. The last couple weeks he's really stood out from an effort and ball sense perspective. - Tarpley. Somehow the defense got better with him in there instead of Bradham. (as with Salas, this may be more about Bradham) - Gillislie. Awful stats - 24 carries, 28 yards. Boobie would've got at least 38, right? But he showed he can hold up to that workload, which is something that Karlos has yet to show. RB is set for next year. - oh, and as for Dixon. Throws a nice forward pass-style lateral. Who knew?
Bill from NYC Posted January 4, 2016 Author Posted January 4, 2016 Now that we're talking about heart, how about that Dareus play at the end getting to Fitz and causing the pick. That's what you call digging deep and kicking ass. He's such a strong dude, nice to see him end the season like that, tossing a 300 pound NFL guard. This has been my complaint all season. I watched Dareus week after week since he has been in college. He is not made to go back in pass coverage. When you draft a player at #3 and then give him 100 million dollars you should let him do what he is good at. Marcel Dareus is good at disruption.
Augie Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 7) Karlos is a stud, and I'm praying he can have a healthy career.
NoSaint Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 Nice break up but terrible coverage. Might be more lucky than nice. Was very risky not to be a bit more disciplined and try to stop him rather than blow it up.
BB2004 Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 9) I am not sold on Rex Ryan as a coach. Far from it but let's give credit where it's due. He coached a fine game today. I agree Bill. If he coaches every game like he's playing the Jets then yes, he is the guy for the job.
vorpma Posted January 4, 2016 Posted January 4, 2016 1) Watkins is making a strong case to be considered one of the top receivers in the NFL. Revis couldn't do much to stop him now could he? 11 receptions for 136 yds. was amazing under the circumstances. 2) Did anybody notice that the Jets were unable to goad Incognito into a fight and/or penalty? Later, Tyrod pulled Mills away from a fight. When did this team become disciplined? Today, during game 16? Unbelievable. 3) I hope my friend John C is reading this. Tyrod HAS to be a running quarterback, at least for now and the near future. He is SUCH a good and clutch runner it would be criminal to hold him back. 4) I want to be happy like Todd Bowles. I mean this. It would be cool to be like him and live my life with the same smile, no matter what is happening. I wonder if he is on meds. Or, does he have the world's greatest therapist? 5) You folks know that I am fond of Corey Graham as a player, but how did he drop what would have been a pick-6 in the first quarter? 6) Life may be sweeter for this, I don't know. Feels like it might be alright. While Lady Lullaby sings plainly for you, Love still, rings true. Midnight on a carousel ride, Reaching for the gold ring, down inside. Never could reach, It just slips away, But I try! 7) Let's talk about effort: How about the clutch 3rd and 2 run by Karlos? That kid is as strong as an ox, has good speed, and is a player who is very easy to be a fan of. I really do hope he stays healthy next year because he is quite the weapon. 8) Did you see the players after Mario had the sack? They looked as if they were thrilled to see him trying. Then again, I might read into this stuff a bit too much. 9) I am not sold on Rex Ryan as a coach. Far from it but let's give credit where it's due. He coached a fine game today. 10) What caused the pick by Lawson right after the deuce? Wait, I know.....PASS RUSH!!! Dareus rushed him, crushed him, and made him throw early. Why on earth did we have to wait for game 16 to see this? 11) This kid Salas has some heart, no? 12) I know it was a nice hit but we are VERY lucky that Thompkins dropped that pass. 13) Well, here we are again. Our season is over and we missed the playoffs yet again. Still, there is a lot to talk about this off season. The Bills are a bit of a train wreck, but I for one think we can turn it around with some luck, work, and a big dose of common sense. 14) Thanks everybody for the wonderful dialogue about this team that we care so much about. There is no better place to talk about the Bills. Next year, my last post of the season will be about a post season game. Be well everyone and God bless. 15) GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great comments as always my friend!
