Bills' Evans calls offence 'awful'

[The_Philster]

"It's awful," the Bills receiver said after practice Monday.
The usually soft-spoken Evans provided the blunt assessment a day after the Bills increasingly inept offence failed to produce a touchdown in a 17-16 loss at Indianapolis.
"It's just been bad. And until we get that fixed, it's going to continue to be bad," Evans said, specifically referring to the Bills coming away with six points - two field goals - on three trips inside the Colts 20. more (http://www.tsn.ca/nfl/news_story/?ID=184205&hubname=nfl)

part of some of the problems. who says that?

[GFLuNEEDit]

He is trying to tactfully say the same things Moulds was saying last year.

The QB is holding the whole team back.

After the Chicago game he said something like...we had receivers open but for whatever reason didnt complete the passes

[PECKERWOOD]

Watch, people are going to start calling Evans a headcase soon.

[GFLuNEEDit]

Oh yeah everyone but the QB.

According to some of these lunatics , not only is the offensive line the worst in the league, now it's Jauron and Fairchild.

[NJFINSFAN1]

Honest question here.

How does this years offense compare with last year under Mularkey?

With Mularkey it was better, but we did still have Eric Moulds here. Part of our problem is, we dont have a #2 guy.

IF JP keeps throwing the ball high like he did to Evans on that one awesome catch, he is going to get someone killed.

McGahee and Shelton already got crushed on a high pass from JP.

It happens to everybody. I've seen some of the best QB's in the game leave their WR's out to dry, just some QB's more than others! :D

I agree.

Throwing the ball high seems like one thing JP is consistent with though.

Mularkey is under fire here from most fans. Play calling is screwy.

So many dam trick plays!

It IS awful, hes right although he should keep quiet anyways.

Our QB is struggling, our supposed "star" RB still gets tackled by the shoestrings and has yet to take over a game, in fact his backup looked better than he has this year, our o-line cannot pass block, our TE's are a group of clowns that get dumb drive killing penalties, and/or miss blocks, and our 2nd WR is basically non-existant.

Theres plenty of reason to say awful.

Its time to get playmakers early and often and pay big money for big players.

Last year the D got attention, this year we need O outside of resigning Clements and getting a young ILB.

Doesnt surprise me! :idunno: I'm not sure why he doesnt get Ronnie Brown more involved, from my perspective he looks like a very good back. Gadget plays got Mularkey fired in Buffalo. Hence fans dubbed him: "Inspector Gadget!". :lol:

With Mularkey it was better, but we did still have Eric Moulds here. Part of our problem is, we dont have a #2 guy.That's the big thing right there...and we saw a hint of it last year when Moulds was suspended for a game...the passing offense sucked without him....and it's about the same now


IF JP keeps throwing the ball high like he did to Evans on that one awesome catch, he is going to get someone killed.

McGahee and Shelton already got crushed on a high pass from JP.Honestly....putting it up there was the only way to complete the pass, I thought. I'd prefer he avoid doing that as much as possible....but Randy the Mess made a living off of those types of passes as a Viking

[DraftBoy]

I like what Evans is doing, we have no offensive leader;

'Evans, recently named a Bills offensive co-captain, was careful to not single out any coach or player.'

Ladies and gentleman we HAVE A LEADER EMERGING!

The players don't want Losman to be the starter for the rest of the season unless he earns it.

The coaches are dedicating the season to Losman instead of whatever it takes to win.

[The_Philster]

Losman already earned the starting job...:rolleyes:

[PECKERWOOD]

I like Evans, he seems like a good romodel for his teammates. He seems quiet and humble, but at the same time he knows he is capable of making very big plays.

[GFLuNEEDit]

Thats another reason Losman won't be the starter next year.

The other players aren't behind it.

[Turf]

Evans is practically the only football player on the entire offence IMO. He's going to want to jump off this ship the first chance he gets.

Like JP gets crushed from a lack of willis' blocking.

[mybills]

"If he feels like it's now his turn to be vocal about it, maybe he's just giving everyone else a break," Losman said.

Gotta love that comment! :rofl: Go JP, you tell 'em like it is! :bf1:

[PECKERWOOD]

Why would he do that? We love him here in Buffalo, he is our best offensive player. It doesnt make sense for him to goto a different place where he is more expendable.

[Jan Reimers]

The offense is terrible. The questions are why, and who's to blame? The last 2 weeks, a good part of it is offensive game planning that doesn't allow us to pass.

Against Indy, 109 yards rushing would have been a nice compliment to a good passing day. Unfortunately, only 17 pass plays were called, and only 13 were actually thrown - with 9 being completed, which is a very good 69.2% completion rate. But 109 rushing yards and 13 passes won't get it done. And those of you that think we had a great game plan and kept Manning off the field: Indy had the ball almost 34 of the last 52 minutes, after our one good drive.

We had the same formula against Green Bay, and won only because Favre turned the ball over 4 times.

You must have a passing attack to have a chance in the NFL, particularly if you do not have a spectacular RB in your arsenal, which we definitely do not. If we don't allow JP to throw it downfield in our remaining games, we won't win more than one of them.

[Jeff1220]

I see nothing wrong with Evans' comments. He didn't single any one player out, and the offense is terrible.
I don't see how fans could think replacing JP at this point in the season is a viable option. I have almost completely given up on JP at this point, but even I know that he's the best QB on the roster right now. :( There's still a slim possibility that it'll click with him. Let him play it out. If nothing gets sinificantly better, the Bills go shopping in the offseason.

That's our main problem, as he is learning how to play, the staff can't allow his abilities to take off. We as fans, don't have the time and desire to allow the man to learn it. I would love to see JP to play the game, as he sees it and feel it, but I guess that won't happend, at least not here in Buffalo.

[BAM]

For a second there I thought this said "Bill Evans calls offense awful"

:music:

[chernobylwraiths]

Honest question here.

How does this years offense compare with last year under Mularkey?

It was probably more productive, but besides losing Moulds we had a different QB in for most of the games. That QB while not the answer to our offensive woes and certainly no long term answer is a better pocket passer than JP has been to date and knew where the short guy was at all times. JP seems to have RJ syndrome.

Dude seriously. I think even Palladin warrior understands english better than you. Where in Evans article did it even imply to anything you just said? Nada.
