This is hard. Im sick to my stomach right now.
First, the good.
* Lynch is the real ****ing deal. HE doesn't like to go down. That TD run was awesome. He's going to be a STAR in this league and I wouldn't be shocked now to see him win ROY.
* Special teams.. What more can you say about them? Unbelievable.
* I thought Josh Reed played great today. The OL looked decent, especially in pass protection. Peters was great. Didnt hear his name much, so that means Walker played decent.
* Poz was confused and outta place at times, but played pretty well for a rookie playing his first game.
* I think both DE's played pretty good.
NOW.. The bad
* The coaching was horrible, and I truly think this staff sucks. 3:32 left on the clock and you get the ball with a two point lead. On second down, you run a ****ing sweep to the SHORT side of the field which Lynch ended up forced out. And then you come back with a bomb on 3rd and 5?? JESUS christ, even if the corner falls down by accident its STILL not a high % play. That was the play of the game right there. I truly think Jauron sucks and although it wont happen, he needs to get fired.. Being a nice guy the players respect dont mean **** if your a brutal game day coach, and make no mistake about it......he is.
* I dont care what your stance on Losman was before or after the game. Today he flat out sucked and looked like a lost rookie. Digression with a capital D. Another foolish INT before halftime.. He almost trips over his own feet handing the ball off to A-Train. Left short a few throws to open WR's, especially a third down throw to Parrish who was wide open... And what the ****, was Kelly Holcomb still playing? What the **** is up with these short passes on 3rd and long again????????
These two tie into together. It couldnt be anymore ****ing obvious that Jauron and/or Fairchild had NO CONFIDENCE in Losman. I mean (and it ended up working out) they resorted to running on 3rd and long plays in the second half. Probably half of Losman's attempts were 7 yards or less.. He's not that kind of QB and WTF, if thats the offense you're going to run, if your coaches are THAT scared of streching defenses, then you may as well put Edwards is, who is far better with short throwing accuracy.
But blaming it on the coaching alone is the latest convienant Losman excuse. He ****ing flat-out SUCKED today, and he did absolutely nothing to help his team win the game. Even if we had held on and won, it would've been in spite of Losman, not because of him.
* We debated all summer long about how bad our CB's were. I don't think there can be a debate anymore. If this is not the WORST set of starting corners in the NFL, I'd love to see them. They were used and abused all day long. Jason WEbster is a total joke--no wonder Atlanta drafted two CB's then cut him.. He's brutal. And you'd think after about a million successful slant passes our corners would start to cheat a little to take that play away. Of course not though, these corners just flat-out suck.
* Our run defense played exactly the way we thought it would; pathetic. Henry had 139 and thank God they werent sitting on a lead and running more, he may have ended with 239.
SUMMARY: There's the old saying.. "Good teams find a way to win, bad teams find a way to lose." THat is precisely what happened today. We are a bad football team right now, and we found a way to lose. Good teams put others away when its 3rd and 23 in the final two minutes. Bad teams allow erractic QB's like Jay Cutler to get away with his mistakes. Bad teams allow offenses to convert two straight fourth downs. Bad teams dont put away the opposition when they have numerous chances.
Argue it all you want, right now this is just a bad football team. However, except for a few painfully obvious sore spots (CB and today QB) the talent is fine. This is a bad football team right now for their horrible game day coaching as any player on the field.
It's going to be a long season..... The BIlls dont have a winner mentality, and Im sorry, they dont have a QB with a winner mentality either. We will lose more than just a handful of close games where the consensus will be we should've won.
I could already see this game filed away as a game after the season where Skooby says "we should've won".
We should NOT have won today.. We didnt deserve to. When the best player on your offense is a rookie playing his first game, and your QB plays like that; you don't deserve to win.
