Pine Barrens Mafia Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 AGAIN! The Bears D is no slouch. Last year they were decomated by injuries. If he hung in there, took the hits and didn't turn it over, that's a good performance IMO.
shagmago Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 It was just a preseason game. I know that. However, the goal of these games, particularly for the '05 Bills, is to let JP get in a rhythm and give him some confidence. I didn't like the conservative playcalling, but the execution was worse. *This was the ugliest offensive football game I've seen in YEARS* JP: I thought he was supposed to be accurate on the run. He looked better LAST preseason. I just don't see the progress I expected to see. He seems to give up too easily on plays, a la Flutie, and has revealed his favorite tendency already: roll right and hope to get a 20 yard out. I hope they're trying to show their real opponents something and will come out with somthing ELSE. Otherwise, we're in for some ruff days offensively. He overreacts to pressure and makes TERRIBLE decisions when under pressure from multiple angles. He tries to keep the play alive to the point of absurdity. I believe Wyche is doing his job well, but JP has disappointed thus far. Yes, it's only preseason. BUt if you think they're not trying to succeed, you're wrong. THey're trying and failing. JP does not look good to these eyes. He does not look poised. But it's only preseason, and I"m not going to get negative until we see Game 1. Wire: Good athelete, lousy football player. His one solo tackle was the first play I've seen him make in a long time. He's usuallly half a second late to every play. He deserves the knickname "pile on". Cut him. Lindell: As much as the coaches have given him good press for his 'great offseason', I still don't trust him as far as I can kick him, which isn't very far. I don't see ANY receivers making any plays, but then again, I don't see Losman making many throws. Kyle Orton outplayed ever other QB on the field. I don't care that it came against our 2nd stringers. He looked in control, poised, and confident. He got the job done. None of our QBs got the job done, least of all JP. Do I sound negative? Very well then I sound negative. They should be farther along by now. It was sloppy, horrid, and difficult to watch. It made the Greggg Williams years look like the Glory Days. I'm glad we lost this game because I think the team needed a wake up call. They're not as good as they think they are, yet they CAN be. Coaches: The Bears run blitzed all night and they didn't call ONE SINGLE play to throw it over their heads. I'm concerned about one thing: Mularkey doesn't seem to want to try to throw long. He seems to think that we can win by running at 2 yards per clip and trying to convert 3rd and fives with a rollout. It's only preseason, yes. But I'm not impressed. I hope to see something ELSE next Friday. 420103[/snapback] Yea I agree, and they should demote Brett Farve , he had a horrible ONE preseason game last nite, he`s washed up!...Watch the reply of our first two games on JP,it might make you feel better.The guy can play mistake free and well enough right now to get us some wins without relying on the defense all the time like last year.How many turnovers does JP have this preseason(including the scrimmage)? Why don`t we just throw our whole offensive game plan on the table so EVERYBODY can see it!...And whats wrong with trying some roll outs? Buddy, its only preseaon their trying new players and new things.Untangle your panties.
Sound_n_Fury Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Where you guys happy with the play of our offensive line? Do you think Willis was? 420211[/snapback] Not thrilled, but not panicing yet. The Bears were stacking 8 guys against the run and daring the Bills to back them off with the pass. Didn't seem like MM/TC were that interested in accomodating them, though. Still nothing long to Evans this preseason...which is my vote for the first offensive play of the Houston game, BTW!
EC-Bills Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 yes. that is exactly what I was saying. 420118[/snapback] I knew it! Can't trust you sys admins as far as I can...oh wait I am sys admin where I work...nevermind...nothing to see here...move along
jarthur31 Posted August 27, 2005 Posted August 27, 2005 Where you guys happy with the play of our offensive line? Do you think Willis was? 420211[/snapback] Some of us aren't but then we don't have an immobile QB anymore. If we can't block 1 on 1 in the regular season for the running game we won't win 5 games.
Rico Posted August 28, 2005 Posted August 28, 2005 *This was the ugliest offensive football game I've seen in YEARS*420103[/snapback] Even for a pre-season game, there's no way it was worse than the 2003 season. Impossible.
