seq004 Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 But it sounds like more than anything else the Defense gave Pennington time to make his throws. Thats why we beat Miami. Yes, the turnovers have to be added into the equation today and 3 turnovers vs 0 will almost always end in a loss but we didn't do something today that is what allowed us to beat the fins. I'm lost on what happened on that last drive.
Toledo Bill Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Very little pressure... and that is being kind

The goal was apprently to sit back in zone and how to stop those quick passes, but the couldn't do it. IMO that was the biggest mistake made in this game.

The pass rush was not working today at all.

Other than that, I'm sure there were blitzes called, but they must have been VERY few and far between. Certainly not enough to say that they wouldn't have worked. I can understand if they went into the game with that plan, but really feel they should have tried to change strategies later. What they were doing just wasn't working.
Brandon Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 The Bills pass rush was typical of the last several seasons: it was a non-factor.
Mark Vader Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 The Bils had 1 sack today, but they only had 2 or 3 hurries. Not good.
Lurker Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 The Bils had 1 sack today, but they only had 2 or 3 hurries. Not good. 784755[/snapback] Look at the gamelog and count how many times "short" and "Pennington" are used in the same play.

He had a lot of time to look in the pocket.

Stevie Ray Posted September 24, 2006 Posted September 24, 2006 Worse was not being able to stop the run, starting with the 2nd qtr and the rest of the game. Once the Jets were running successfully, it seems they stopped blitzing and relied on the 4 man rush which was useless today.
