dave mcbride Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 No mention of JP starting last year against Jax is kind of a fatal flaw in the analysis, but there's some OK stuff here, particularly regarding the strengths of Jax's secondary: http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/12/...lls-at-jaguars/
The Dean Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Agreed. Not bad. A few big flaws, though. Good, but he's no Lori.
Band of Merriman Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Not bad??? He didn't even address the possibility of Peters back in the lineup and what that could do for our line. Quality in depth analysis!
Nanker Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I was at that game last year. Losman and Fair-ly-clueless-child had no answer to the Tampa 2 scheme that the Jags threw at them 90% of the time. Even taking account the decimation last year's squad went through, the offense was offensive. I'm looking for a hard fought game and a much different result this year. Make no mistake about it, the Jags will be prepared and come at The Bills hard. That said, they next play Indy and some of them might be looking past this week's game. Not many, but some. DelRio is a solid coach and he usually has his guys prepared. We may be catching them at a good time - regarding injuries, though we won't be able to maximize our advantage there because a certain star LT was sitting on his couch until last Saturday.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 I think it's pretty good, though I think he's looking too much at last season's game as a standard. The Bills I saw last Sunday were a vastly different team than last year. I think he missed three big points. 1) Last year we sent A-train against them on the run. This year we'll have the Marshawn/Jackson combo instead. 2) Trent vs. Lossman: I know, I was a Lossman fan once too. But after the three four and outs to start Trent looked pretty good, considering the time he had spent recovering during preseason. Lossman was eratic at best, even if he was awesome in top form. 3) Offensive Coordination: This one is a no brainer. Turk may be new, but if the balanced, varied offensive attack we ran against the Seahawks was any indication the Jags can't expect us to run it to the left on every third down like SOME people liked to do. (Damn you SF!)
Albany,n.y. Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Agreed. Not bad. A few big flaws, though. Good, but he's no Lori. He can't match Lori. Lori watches every game, knows the roster, knows who will be playing, knows how to evaluate the roster moves one season & even 1 week to the next. This guy is lucky if he's seen any Bills games other than when they played against his team when he was with them. He's just another national guy trying to evalute a game by looking at a few highlights and some stats. Lori is there, he's not -there's no comparison between the two when it comes to expertise on the Buffalo Bills. More Lori, less national analysis. GG-I don't know if the link is down or just slow. I opened it a while ago, and minimized it when it was going too slow. I then opened it about an hour later after I forgot about it & it was there. I loved the bickering by the fans below the article. One guy said Peters wasn't playing & called another one a moron for saying Peters would play.

But, I find Lori's evaluation of the Bills' opponents better than most anybody else's, too.
Bleed Bills Blue Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Right on all points, Albany. But, I find Lori's evaluation of the Bills' opponents better than most anybody else's, too. Knowledgeable, objective, and a homer too...an unbeatable combination!

But, I find Lori's evaluation of the Bills' opponents better than most anybody else's, too. Lori's write up absolutely blows anything, anyone in the media - local or national - writes.
Special K Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Right on all points, Albany. But, I find Lori's evaluation of the Bills' opponents better than most anybody else's, too. I see "The Dean" is finally out of the witness protection program!
colin Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 i do think with the jerks' oline being maybe the worst in the nfl, our massive d upgrades, and the fact that we are swapping step child for the turk, jp for trent, and a train for marshawn, we are looking at quite a step up for us vs last year and quite a step down for them.

Agreed. With three O-Line starters out on the Jags, our D should be dominant up front, and perhaps Ted wasn't aware, but our run D was excellent last weekend because of the offseasons acquisitions playing so well. Buffalo is a very different team than when we got spanked down there last year.
Whites Bay Posted September 13, 2008 Posted September 13, 2008 Agreed. Not bad. A few big flaws, though. Good, but he's no Lori. Columnist, I served with Lori Chase: I knew Lori Chase; Lori Chase was a friend of mine. Columnist, you're no Lori Chase.
