The strange thing was the way Buffalo lost: Four fourth-quarter mistakes (three turnovers and a safety) for a team whose season has been marked by clutch, unflinching play when it counts most. I have a feeling this was nothing more than an aberration, just as the skeptic in me believes the emergence of Ted Ginn Jr. as a big-time receiver may also be short-lived.

Of course Ginn’s “emergence” will be short-lived. This is a guy who has done NOTHING as a receiver in his career thus far. Any WR with a pulse would have put up big numbers yesterday against that high school coverage/scheme he was facing!!!

I hope our 4th Q meltdown was an aberration. That’s really the only time we’ve been consistently pretty good all season….

ginn

i just cannot believe there were no adjustments made! How ludicrous is that?? Why is the defensive staff always so stubborn to be content getting dinked and dimed all day but accurate QB’s in the short passing game, and in this case long passes too cuz McGee was hurt???? I don’t understand at all

It’s unbelievable. Perry Fewell just doesn’t make adjustments. Really, how many times can Ginn run 15 yards and turn around and make a wide open reception before he makes a change? Does Dick Jauron let Fewell go without forcing him to make changes?

that's what

really bothers me. The philosophy seems to be to allow that pass. They are ok with that as long as they don’t give up the deep one. And then yesterday having an injured CB he couldn’t keep up and he gave up the deep one as well.

I just don’t get that philosophy. Even if they are playing zone why not bump the WR’s? I think that is partly why our pas rush suffers as well. If the CB’s would bump WR’s off their routes and disrupt the timing the QB would have to hold the ball and extra .5-1.0 sec and our DE’s would have more time to actually get there. I think that is a valid point and it goes hand in hand. You gotta have both

Several mistakes

cost Buffalo the game yesterday, on the field, on the sidelines, and in the booth. It was a team loss, IMO.

I have to agree with Marvelous’ puzzlement about the consistent use of the “cushion” that our CB’s use. Other teams will take advantage of that all day if we let them. That has a lot of us Bills fans frustrated. Why not mix in some bump and run coverages to keep offenses honest with us? It doesn’t have to be all or nothing.

Get the Bills back to the big game!
