One thing that I think (noticed and even said should happen during the game thread yesterday) was that the Bills needed to stop trying to “pound it up the middle” and start hitting stuff off tackle….and in the second half they did just that and were able to pick up chunks of yardage. Even on the Jackson TD run which was like a “stretch” play….it wasnt a straight run up the gut…….they got the DL moving down the line which in turn opened up cutback lanes…….granted it could have been a blocking adjustment (like you stated) however I think it was more of the fact that the Ends for the Rams arent as good going side to side as they were going straight ahead………………All one really needs to do is look at the yards per carry for Jackson vs Lynch…….and its apparent that running the ball up the middle just isnt working for this team………..

Im sure Turk and Co. realize this and will make the proper adjustments……

(Ah arm-chair coordinating is so darn fun lol)

Spock/Sylar is a bad@$$

the Bills continue to put points up on the scoreboard – simply amazing when you stop to think about it. Hey, offense, any chance you could score some more before the 4th quarter? I’ve already chewed my fingernails down to the quick, and it’s only 4 games into the regular season!

Superfan82, where are you? Your main man is a chain mover for this team. Give him some props!

All I know is that this is the NFL. Teams are good at developing game plans and producing looks that the opponent is not ready for. Sure, you would love to come out firing, and some weeks we will as the our Offensive game plan throws a curveball at the opponent’s defensive scheme. But I think people are missing the point here. Good teams, can adjust, can wait it out and know that with time they will find a way to beat their opponent. I.E. the Chargers vs. Oakland yesterday. So everyone giving us grief for beating Oakland at the gun can shove it, cuz they game planned great for the Chargers and gave them the same trouble.

There are numerous areas to improve. But the O-L was just outschemed in the 1st half yesterday. They weren’t prepared for it. But give credit to Turk and the Offensive staff generating a 2nd half game plan to take advantage of the Rams scheme.

And the most impressive thing: Trent Edwards got absolutely lit up physically yesterday and always got up fast and showed again how impressive his leadership skills are. This kid gives us a chance every week and that is why we are 4-0 and winning these comeback games.

It’s too bad Lynch hasn’t gotten better blocking, because people would be taking notice then. The kid just does a great job picking up yards that aren’t there and WOW, what a couple of beautiful jukes on the play before the Evans’ TD! I’d say Marion Barber, Lynch and probably Steven Jackson are the top 3 at getting yards that aren’t there in the league, and it’s probably not even close after those first 2…

I don’t know about anyone else, but not having McGee for up to a month is a HUGE problem. Cross your fingers that Boldin has to sit out this week, but Fitzgerald is the type of player that will eat Greer alive because of his size and strength. Youboty should see Fitz a lot this week, so we’ll see what the kid can do. I’m definitely not comfortable with McKelvin on the field, that’s for sure. We’ll probably get our first look at Reggie Corner too, so that kid better be ready to go as well…

Josh Reed just continues to step up and I couldn’t be happier. People have been giving that guy crap for years now, but his role is always overlooked. He’s not a big play threat, he’s not a red zone guy, but he’s the guy an offense NEEDS to be successful. It’s great having a guy who can catch a 5 yard pass and fight his way for a first down. With a young, improving QB, that’s so important.

I don’t feel the same way regarding the D’s playmaking. I don’t see it. We really don’t have any playmakers on this D, and to me, they haven’t been very close to many turnovers thus far. I’d be more confident expecting a spike in turnovers if the D had been close to getting them thus far. They’ve taken advantage when it’s been there, but it’s been few and far between thus far. We have Captain Turnover this week, so it’s imperative to get after him. Warner is effected by pressure like no other above average QB in the league. If we can hit him early and get him rushing his passes/decisions, he WILL turn it over. We just have to force it out of him. We still have to find a way to generate some more consistent pressure….

We’ve had three weeks in a row where the strength of the opponent is the running game. I expect Arizona to throw the ball 40 times this week and try to go up tempo. I’m not sure our guys will get to Warner enough if he gets into a good quick groove. I think the offense will have to score to keep up. Should be fun.

definatley needs to get some of those carries on the edges like action jackson is getting. beast mode is getting some good chuncks up the gut. just imagine the possibilities when he breaks out on the edges to go one on one with a DB. i’m not much of a betting man but i like #23 right there. the moves he put on during his long run that got called back were absolutley ridiculous. so lets get them guys up front moving some bodies( after all we do have the biggest line in football) and marshawn can legally change his name to beast mode. GO BILLS. BRING ON THE CARDS!!!!!

was one of the ones who wanted Josh Reeds head on a stick a couple of years ago and couldn’t understand why we re-signed him the last time, he was always dropping passes couldn’t run after the catch—jump forward to 2008 and this is a totally differant player and has been said multipal times it takes time to develop a wide out, point being that with Hardy we may be in for a long wait for him to contribute to this offence. I now have a lot of confidence in Reed to make the catch and move the chains. Boy was I wrong about him!!!
