YOOOOOO Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Just ask Mike Shanahan. His call was not smart and I dont think anyone will say it was.... but sh-- it was ballsy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 It seemed like the call of a guy who knew he'd been gifted the game, and decided to let the opponent win it by stopping his team. Had there not been a controversial/blown call, I doubt he does it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Marshawn was very disappointing today with 19 rushes for 59 yards. He looked great on the TD run but not any other time. Fortunately Fred Jackson picked up the slack by being the teams leading receiver. Give some credit to the opponent. Jax has one helluva defense. Incredibly physical.

Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Give some credit to the opponent. Jax has one helluva defense. Incredibly physical. The great RB's can still have good games against great D's. 59 yards is just pathetic no matter who they're playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Blame the O-line. I can't remember seeing the FB on the field that much today either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VOR Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Me either. Again credit Jax' excellent defense, that was healthy and used to playing in weather like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britbillsfan Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 They used Jackson a lot so that they could use him in mismatches against LBs, catching out of the backfield. The team gave up a few yards on running plays so that they could gain huge chunks of yardage this way. In retrospect I give them props for this rather than trying to force a few extra yards with the FB in there and making Marshawn look a little better. All IMHO, of course.

bowery4 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 All I care about was that we won. It reminded me of some of the SB teams and how they might suck a whole game, but keep it close enough....... and then roar to a finish. The D looked bad in the 3rd quarter but they were good enough. That is okay, as long as we WIN. Congrats out to TE for having the wherewithal to do this kind of work in his what, 12th start? Sweet victory that will build confidence, I'm pretty impressed. Even if there were critical lapses. Go Bills!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bananathumb Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I'm not sure what makes Poz so special. Everytime I look he seems like the least athletic player in a particular play and he gets sealed off with ease. Agreed. What has he done yet to impress anyone?

Steely Dan Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 i remember seeing barnes on the field quite a bit. At the beginning of the second half I kept looking for him and didn't see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheRocks Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I love the way the Bills are using Fred Jackson....and I think Turk is doing an OUTSTANDING job!!! Geez...this guy has been around a while...glad he is getting his first OC chance with the Bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too. I hated him as a QB coach. This job suits him a lot better!! AVP is a better QB coach than he was IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HardyBoy Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Stroud should be credited with half a sack on Youboty's corner blitz. I think they called him in the grasp before Stroud hit him. The replay looked like Youboty had him by the legs, and the official was waving the play down before he got any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
