Buffalo Bills (5-3) at New England Patriots (5-3)

BUF Injury Report :: NE Injury Report
Bills inactives - RB Xavier Omon, WR Josh Reed, OT Demetrius Bell, OG Brad Butler, DE Aaron Schobel, LB Teddy Lehman, SS Donte Whitner

The Buffalo Bills are set to take on the New England Patriots in a battle atop the AFC East in just under an hours' time.  I don't have much to say about this one, because we all know what's at stake.  After two straight divisional losses, the Biils face what is essentially a must-win in a stadium from which they have not emerged victorious since 2000.  Without a win, Buffalo falls to 5-4 - a record they also held in 2007, when they finished 7-9.

This is your open game thread for today's game.  I'll be here, as always, and hope to see as many of you as possible here as well.  If you're a lurker and would like to join in for today's thread, create an account and hop right on in.  This is a big one.  Get your game faces on, and GO BILLS.

Patchwork offensive line

Not a good way to go into Foxboro…

Is this the first time or just the most recent in a long time?

Those types of trips can backfire I’ve found :-P

The big question for me is this, is Wilfork playing or not? Sadly, it looks like he is, get ready to watch Fowler and Preston get beat like rented mules today folks. Hope Turk is really ready to run outside, we are going to need to.

Depends on where you live, if your near Buffalo, it shoul be Pat vs.Bills

Everywhere else its that game becauseTenn is 8-0 and thus a more important game.

Jauron

I’m actually a Jauron supporter and have been since day one…but there was no question that was not a catch and he had plenty of time to make sure the ref seen it…there are no excuses for the ref to have not seen that flag.

We don’t even know what happened… maybe the folks talking to Jauron saw it wasn’t a catch too late. That’s all I’m saying, so before we jump down his throat, let’s relax.

Blame it on what you will, but there are lots of NFL coaches who make sure their challenges are seen by the officials.

Normally, I would agree with you, but

they just marched down the field with no resistance. And other than that run on the first drive, the line looked like absolute crap. They need to turn it around now or it’s game over.

Agreed. While I don’t think the line is kicking butt run blocking, I think that some of the blame is on the backs. Sometimes there are holes or cutback lanes and they just plow into the pile.

Turk may have given Trent 3 plays to call at the line depending on formation

The issue is that when your on the 4 yard line, it compacts the D and makes it easier for them to flow to the ball. I guess I should blame both for this one

It is apparent that their strategy is to open the whole play book up to him. I’d do it differently, but that TD catch shows his potential. Why we just do not throw the fade to him in the red zone is baffling. He is a hard worker. He will be a real good target.

by Brian Galliford on Nov 9, 2008 2:59 PM EST reply actions   0 recs

I think that floated because of Vrabel's hit on his hand and Wilfork then landing on him

He put his throwing hand right down on the ground on that hit, and has been shaking his arm and hand the last couple of plays. It might not be the only reason, but it probably didn’t help.

Sorry WA, I disagree. That had nothing to do with the ball floating. Trent threw it right to O’Neal. Float or not, that ball was getting picked.

If it had floated, it would have been incomplete. Trent made a bad read; the corner feigned man, but was really in zone. Trent threw it right to him.

I still think he’s too green to say that he can manipulate an NFL game. Because of that (and until that point is reached by Edwards), there are higher standards the line will need to be held up to.

Sure Trent is playing badly, but he’s really trying to do so much more on his own than he should.

The Lynch as a bust part is really of the mark. No one could run behind this line, no one. As for the Trent comment, I find it hard not to agree that he seems to have regressed. maybe it’s injuries or maybe it is the competition. That said, he just doesn’t make enough plays and doesn’t get the ball to the endzone – though some of that is the total lack of running game.

He lost all of his front office talent because of pride and things have never been the same!! An organization is only as good as it’s leadership. Bet on the Jockey and not the horse. Until ownership, management, and coaching change the Bills will live in the cellar.

The real problem

I think the real problem is that from the beginning he was told to chill but nobody ever debated his point that Jauron needs to go. It’s kind of like when my 4 year-old says something and my answer is quiet down instead of an answer to her question, she asks again and again and again.

So why shouldn’t Jauron go?

I’m a Jauron backer…I’m just saying that he called out Jauron and was immediately told to chill with no reason why Jauron should stay.

Maybe he is a newcomer to the site and never read anything else you have posted.

Plenty of blame to go around.

Failure to challenge was really a bonehead move. Bellicheat would have hit the Ref in the face with the flag if he wanted the play challenged. Shows lack of decisiveness evident in the gameplan.

Or, it might show that the Bills’ replay folks were late getting the word to Jauron. As I said before – it’s easy to blame Jauron, but it might not have been his fault. It’s not like he blatantly refused to challenge it.

Our review guys to blame

DJ chucked the flag late because of them, and the Refs never even saw it, of course, the way around that it to grab an official as they run by and make the wait till you throw it. We would probably win the challenge and then get flagged 15 for doing it.

This mess is on the O coaches and the players excepting Roscoe and ML, they played well today

It was an obvious incomplete pass. They showed the replay four or five times. In fact I was so upset they weren’t throwing the flag that I had time to jump off the couch, pace into the other room and back again before they ran the next play.
