Mr. Dink Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I'm sticking with the obvious and concluding that our team, from top to bottom, is incompetent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silvermike Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Maybe they think the yardlines are in base 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I think they are just playing like it's practice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartacus Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 because when they practice indoors all the time, the field is not long enough to allow longer patterns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Max997 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 because their thinking is you run short passes and get up to the line quickly for the next play...this is how Marv ruined the no huddle when Marchibroda left to be the head coach in Indy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan714 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Eight yard outs? A lot of em looked like 2-3 yard outs. An eight yard out Trent going long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsVet Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hey...it's Turk Schonert's call to make those plays. He watches film 80 hours a week AND he knew Bill Walsh. No one should be criticizing him. NO ONE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I thought the same thing. Â No slants, no crosses, no deep passes. Every play to a receiver, back, or TE seemed to be a curl or hitch. Â I have a feeling that some receivers were running other routes, but Trent was missing them.

K-9 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 You mean until Fitz and the 2nd team come in and the routes called are completely different? Â GO BILLS!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreakPop Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Maybe Trent needs glasses and can't really tell between his receivers and the DBs after 10 yards so Turk calls for 8 yard plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 i'm not happy about our starting O at all, but the chicken little sht is getting out of hand. multiple plays called directly toward parrish, one single pass to evans, no slants, no drags, and while trent sucked the WRs blew -- they were not getting their head around, they weren't fighting to come back to the ball, nothing. Â i think evans reed and parrish together are a horrible mix. they are just too small and too unphysical. Â you will notice we barely did anything to the TEs against pittz, and ran no screens. i think it's clear we will be running those in the regular season. Â oh, the biggest thing i did learn is that our 3rd and 4th string RBs can't block the world champion league leading pass rush. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Hell if I was a WR I wouldnt run any pattern deeper than 8 yards because Trent wont throw you the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
