Five Reasons Bills Had No Prayer Of Packers Upset

I only got to watch about the first 20 min of the game, but to me it seemed like the offensive line was confused on who to block (especially on the pass plays)

Which obviously contributed to the sacks, pressure, and lack of production from the offense.

Did anyone else notice that to be the case as well?

Any Buffalo Bills fan with half a brain knew that the team had very little chance of upsetting the Green Bay Packers in Week 2.

Now I can tell my wife I have at least half a brain :-)

the Bills did not record a sack.

Chris Brown said that our pass rush was our second best advantage……maybe it actually was???

Can’t say anything…………. running to the bedroom to find that one bullet.

Too early to start debating which way we should go with our soon-to-have top five pick?

At this early stage I think they should take QB or an OT, anybody think other wise?

but to look so so bad makes it hard to even watch. Our offense looks nothing like pre season and just like last year.

Your looking at a sure fire Hall of Famer in Clay Mathews. Not only that, but if he even keeps half of the pace that he’s on right now he’ll still shatter Strahan’s sack record in only his second season in the league.

I also saw that the Packers are beatable. If we had play the whole game like we did the second quarter then we would have had a very good chance of winning the game.

I also saw Buffalo’s biggest probably out there today: Trent Edwards. Don’t get me wrong, I used to be a big Trent supporter, but not anymore. When your throwing checkdown passes on 3rd and 15+ (which happened regularly in this game) then you WILL lose. It is unacceptable to throw a checkdown pass on 3rd and 15+, I don’t care if your receivers are covered, or even if you get intercepted, you have to at least try to get the first down!!!!! This team will remain horrible as long as Trent stays at QB, and Trent will also continue getting worst as long as he’s the starter as every snap that he plays continues to destroy any bit of confidence he had left.

Long story short, 2 things need to happen next week: 1 – the line needs to pass protect a lot better; 2 – Fitzy needs to become our starter.

I have no idea what it looked like during the game, but it looks like that was a blessing in disguise.

In name only…

One would think that the Bills, having very little to lose, would attempt an all-out blitz on at least several occasions. But out Bills continue to think, in the face of evidence to the contrary, that they can generate a rush with four (sometimes only three) rushers.

Sorry, but I do not get it. I am watching the same team I saw last year.

Imagine how strong our secondary could be if they got some help up front?

Sorry, but I do not get it. I am watching the same team I saw last year.

I’m not, this one looks worse.

and we are not doing it, i hate this team

but i would move him to RT

The post game 3 up and 3 down is something that I’m doing, but this weekend I had far more important things going on than football.

That said, smile. CanadienBillsFan is right. Start scouting Locker, Mallett, Luck, and Ponder. At the very least, if this team is going to suck, they should be good at it. And maybe we’ll draft high enough to get the QB we need.

#1-5: The five fingers on Aaron Rodgers’ right hand.

Here’s my short list of players that I would keep on offense:
Wood
Levitre
F. Jackson
Lynch
Spiller
Stupar (as a backup)
S. Nelson (only because we don’t know how he looks this year)
D. Nelson (only for red zone potential)
Easley (IR put him out before anyone could get a real look at him)

Everyone else can be cut or traded.
Hangartner was tossed like a rag doll by Matthews for his 1st sack
Evans could not get open, you don’t pay a WR 9+ mil for someone that can’t get open and make plays. The Bills should trade him and get someone like Vincent Jackson that can get open and has the ability to shed double coverage. Evans can’t do that.
S. Johnson & Parrish had 2 costly mistakes.
Keep Bell as a backup, but get rid of Green.
Hate to say it, but Vick is the type of QB we need with this bad O-line. Vick is looking good so far in Philly.

It sucks to be thinking about the offseason already, but the whole draft needs to be focused on the offense.

is a joke. I can’t tell how much is personnel, coaching, scheme, talent, etc. But I do know it is awful. No cohesion, no consistency, no rythym, its just putrid. I have no idea how Nix and Gailey plan to turn this thing around.

For the record I was live in person on the field for the Washington vs. Nebraska game Saturday and will share my scouting report on Jake Locker this week when I get to put my notes together. But a preview is: let’s hope there are better QB’s available in the Top 10.

as the subject line says"THEY SUCK!!" and they do it so well.they say it begins with offensive and defensive line play……………? what line play?they can’t pass block worth a damn,run blocking did show signs of life.the defensive line was as atrocious,too!! 2 weak-ass tackles,one replaced by injury and they couldn’t get a lick of pressure on rogers.they get more embarrassing by the week.hey donte, shut the eff up,instead play tough.how many times were you beat? time to put up like a man,not talk crap you can’t back up.converted defensive ends down field covering big,fast tight end???? is our def,coordinator over his head? is edwards(qb) good enough or not? how the hell will we know with that weak-ass offensive line? sorry peeps,gotta go puke,i saw a very disgusting performance today in green bay and i need to do some emesis.

Edwards: cannot pass past the first down marker when one is needed in any situation. Has no leadership ability whatsoever. He cannot read defenses nor can he see any of the open routes that a receiver runs. Cannot ever step up in the pocket when there is one. Actually saw he recognize a blitz, but, he threw a bad pass as soon as it hit the O line b/c he was AFRAID, which amazingly picked up the blitz. Pats, pumps, shakes and wiggles, but, shows no ability to even think about tossing one down field(actually cheered before the penalty just because he went deep, sad).

Rushing: Start Jackson. Pound Lynch in red zone if we ever get there, and give it to him 3rd and short. Think Jackson is better Lynch is reliable.

Defense: Hey you get burned out playing all game. Kelsay is painful to watch the guy is terrible. Still no turnovers, Whitner dropped a gift easy pick 6.

Coaching: better calls on offense this game, Chan cant force Edwards to go deep but he needs to realize to RUN THE BALL every quarter. Why dont he get that, tried to get cute throwing in third but failed miserably.

Next game: scrap Edwards stop delaying the inevitable, start Brohm whatever at least he has the ability to become something. I dont know why everyone is saying Edwards is the best option at QB, how could anyone be any worse, honestly how (im serious can someone explain to me that said Edwards is the best option how he is, what has he done at all)? Yes the line is to blame at some points but the guy wont take the shots put in someone that will, hell pay me league minimum I will gadly hand the ball off and heave it down the sideline at the end of halfs and end game.

Offensive playcalling: RUN RUN RUN PUNT, RUN RUN PASS PUNT. PLAYACTION RUN PASS PUNT. Repeat sequence the entire game obviously if you need to kick a field goal and/or score I hope you pickin up what im putting down with this. If you get a first down before you punt repeat what you just did.

but until further notice, our favorite team just plain stinks. There are glimmers of hope in but the smallest of doses, but it’s evident they’re going to need a more generous learning curve than we may have anticipated.

Go Bills

Wanted Tebow, would still take either at this point. Also all those wanting Jason Campbell, he was benched this afternoon in Oakland. QB play needs to improve. Good thing about this season is that we as fans can look forward to a new QB next year……right? I hate to say it but I don’t think TE can do better…..

I want to see Buffalo run against a defense that struggles against the run and see if they can gain some confidence.

The Bills cant ever abandon their running game because all of their talent is there, and the Oline apparently is supposed to be better at that. If other teams dont bring down safeties/stack the box then the Bills dont have anywhere near enough talent to pass and the games are going to be about like this. I only saw the second half but the Bills didnt look like they were running terribly. The bills rbs like to run right into defenders though, and they either arent following the fullback or the line isnt opening much for them. Also if you want to run to the outside, tight ends are needed. I dont know if Chan Gailey doesnt understand what the purpose of the position is or something but he has repeatedly sent McIntyre through the hole alone and then handed the ball to the running back who cuts outside and these are the plays that are blown up behind the line of scrimmage. I dont know where the TE we got from the dolphins is, but he had some good production and is the only one Id consider a veteran but yet isnt even seeing the field. Im ust an ignorant fan, but if I was in a position where my QB wont throw anything but screens and short passes Id might as well have a bunch of big targets around that could break tackles and not risk as much injury.

It’s such a pain! Waking up on a Sunday morning at 7 a.m. is taking it’s toll me.

During today’s game I felt really guilty. Everytime Trent Edwards was sacked all I thought to myself was “Please don’t get up.” It’s not exciting watching this guy control the team, and not only that it’s not efficient as well.

I’m very aware that it’s a team game, and everyone is to blame for these struggles, but it seems like with Edwards taking snaps no body respects the Bills.

If fans can see it in his eyes that he’s not confident imagine what his teammates feel in the huddle. Imagine what opposing defenses feel!

Even if we witness a miracle and “Numero Stinko” turns it around I for one don’t want him to be the quarterback of the Buffalo Bills anymore.

I’m obviously not an expert, and I base my judgments on lines moving on NFL.com and lagging internet streams (too young to afford Direct TV and NFL Network), but at least with Ryan Fitzpatrick or even JP Losman taking snaps under center I felt that this team could win a game.

I’ve always said that if you predict you’ll lose by 40 and you only lose by 30, that’s a victory right there
