Bills Post-Game Thread

I’m wondering if having a first year OL coach who is being helped by the TE coach and a rookie QB combo is a bad idea. Way to go Ron.

Ron is a dead man walking.

Yeah, Eric really needs to balance the passing/rushing to help Howell and the Oline.

On a different note, it will be good to see how Howell respond after yesterday. Howell said, "the sun will come up tomorrow" so this is a good sign that he is aware that yesterday was just one game and can move on easily. The downside is the opponents now know that their defense plan is to confuse Howell, so Eric and Howell need to have plans to counter that defense plan.

That is an easy thing to say, it is way harder to actually believe it.
He looked broken towards the end of the game, I hope he can be fixed. :(

And yet we managed to punk them last year when they were 8-0 and we were 4-5.

It's a week to week league.

It is indeed a week to week league. And I do hope this serves as a learning experience for Howell, and a wake up to this coaching staff that they need to help this mediocre squad of an Oline that they put together...
It's hard to be feel confident right now though.

To tone the panic down though: even if we were to lose to the Eagles we'd be 2-2, with 3 winnable games ahead against the Bears, Falcons and Giants.

Ironically, we beat the Eagles last year by running the hell out of the ball. Which is what we need to do more.

It is right down RIDICULOUS that we ran the ball 5 times in the first half and B.Rob played in 20 snaps in the whole game.

EB needs to stop Scott Turnering the offense, and adapt to the personnel/talent he has. Howell needs to stop holding on to the ball. And Gibson needs to sit on the f*cking bench.

I know it is hindsight, but I wish EB would have brought in J. McKinnon in the offseason.

Also, the next person that believes any of our crappy players are tradeable (to whoever said we should "trade" Gibson) needs to be banned for a month or something.

At least we're not the Broncos. On to Philly.

Or we're lucky not to have Josh McDaniels as a coach, who seems to be on schedule to run a second NFL team into the ground.

Interested take from former tackle that played for McDaniels (some of you may recognize Tyler Polumbus):

Fucking Hilarious! Rivera sucks at Uno.

The Bills player quoted by Keim also said of Sam "It's just growing pains". He's right. Sam is a virtual rookie so he can't be expected to perform like a seasoned veteran every week.

I am not a big fan of the term "growing pains" as it is a colloquialism used for young players that people think will grow out of a certain trait, with out identifying why that is the belief. The fact that it is an identifiable trend after three games suggests that it might take awhile for that trait to improve. We will see I guess.

I don't get the entire "we suck attitude" we have been the epitome of an average team for the last 3 years. Won some games against good teams, lost some against bad teams, but didn't suck.
