alarming?

[patmoran2006]

Our offense continues to look like **** in training camp, getting schooled by our defense.

Losman threw four interceptions at yesterday's practice.


Yet, against the Saints our defense looked horrid and had Brees, Bush, Colston, etc stayed in the game they probably put 30 up on us.


Why is our offense looking so ****ty? Not just against the Saints but especially against a defense in camp that almost everyone thinks is the weaker unit of the team?

Re: alarming?

Assuming our offensive line holds up, our offense goes as Losman does..... Losman throwing INT's left and right only emphasizes my point.

Re: alarming?

Yep, just like they put up a whole 3 points in that first quarter. This after having already played a pre-season game and gameplanning for the Bills like it were a regular season, if not playoff, game.

If you think the Bills fans should be worrying about their team, just what do you think the Saints fans are feeling, only scoring 3 points against the "lowly" Bills' defense, despite it being the 2nd pre-season game and them having a semblance of a gameplan?

Re: alarming?

It's just training camp. By this time in camp, the D knows the offense like the back of their hand. The most important thing is that there are no major injuries (knock on wood)

Yep, like JP said, they were running pass-only plays, meaning the defense KNEW that there would be no running plays. A big part of play-calling is making your opponent guess as to whether you're running or passing. And by certain cues, defenders get a read on what a player is going to do, AGAIN in the context of a pass-only or run-only play.

I don't think there's a team in the league that looks good right now on offense. Look at the Eagles, Colts and Pats . The thing with preseason is you're not getting a 100% effort and that will always favor the Defense. It's just way to hard to gauge improvement at this time of year. We all want to see improvement and when we don't we think it's bad news, when in reality it's just not the time of year to be judging any team.

Re: alarming?

The Saints have a very good offense. it was their second game & the Bills first game and offenses take longer in preseason to gel then defenses. I expect to see an improvement on both sides of the ball on Friday. I would like to see Lynch get the start. He's been the best RB in TC so give him a shot with the starters.

Re: alarming?

I'm not worried....yet.

It does seem like JPs ints are going up in camp. I'm not ready to panic.

Re: alarming?

JP has NOT had a good camp so far this year.

Granted, its only camp.. Camp at "Club Jaruon" on top of it.. But he hasn't looked good.. yet

[cocamide]

Re: alarming?

I'll wait until game 3-4 of the regular season, and if there's no improvement over last year then I'll worry.

Re: alarming?

Nice try on the "JP hasn't looked good at camp yet." Like most QB's, he's had his good days and bad.

[patmoran2006]

Re: alarming?

He looked alot better at this time last year than he has this year.

And I dont have to have a "nice try".. I'm not anti-JP and want nothing more than for him to be solid. But thus far, he hasn't looked it.

[Goobylal]

Re: alarming?

I remember MANY reports last year talking about how "the defense was ahead of the offense." That has to do with what JP was saying, i.e. that the defense knows it going to be either just pass or just run, and know the players' tendencies.

And to quote Allen Iverson, "we're talking about practice, man, practice!"

[raphael120]

Re: alarming?

Well last year the defense was ALWAYS ahead of the offense. The defense was making more plays for the offense and sometimes even had to win the game for the whole team and make up for the impotent offense.
