Brandon Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 I've been criticizing their performance after a quick start, but I did not realize it was THAT bad. Ouch. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/drives/NFL_20051009_MIA@BUF
finknottle Posted October 9, 2005 Posted October 9, 2005 That's what happens sometimes when you are ahead. It often says more about the coaches and their strategy and play calling than it does the offense.
Brandon Posted October 9, 2005 Author Posted October 9, 2005 The Bills called 19 passes (including those resulting in sacks) vs 18 runs on those 8 possessions. That's not a conservative play balance (although the plays themselves might have been). Still, you expect better than 72 yards on 37 plays for two thirds of a game.

We could have won by 50 and he would have said it was the wind or a string of luck. Just another Troll, with nothing to do!

Seems to me like the pot might be calling the kettle black. As I've stated repeatedly, a win is a win, but what I saw today is not encouraging. For most of the day, they looked like the same team I've watched for the first four games.
