MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I came away impressed with JP. A couple of bad decisions (running backwards another 10 yards after the fumbled snap and a throw right into the outstretch arms of Urlacher) and misfires, but overall he eluded the rush and avoided some sacks in a "how the hell..." kind of way, and made pretty sound decisions. What I was NOT impressed with was the running game, and I hope Willis wasn't going full-speed because he was caught several times trying to turn he corner with just 1 man to beat and didn't. And the WR's need to get better separation. I think the offense will take-off once Parrish returns (I know he's a rookie, but he's got speed and quickness to create separation quickly) and once they get the O-linemen to STOP getting penalties (Anderson, who is really starting to piss me off!) and putting the Bills in bad downs and distances. The defense and ST's look good, but Lindell maybe hasn't overcome his problems. I did notice a lot of penalties going against the Bears on ST's, and hopefully that continues in the regular season.

jarthur31 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Sounds familiar doesn't it? Willis had to work twice as hard as any back in the league for those 1000 yards. We really need to overhaul that line. Run blocking is still a mystery to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted August 28, 2005 Author Share Posted August 28, 2005 I can't fault the O-line for all of the running game woes. Some of it was on the WR's, some on Shelton, vanilla play-calling, and Willis looking like he was going half-speed. The O-line isn't totally without blame however.
