    Bills - Tampa Observations

    As usual, in random order:

    1. I can't believe I am saying this, but Chris Kelsay actually played a decent game. He was pressuring and hitting Leftwich.

    2. Aaron Maybin made one play (ona running play), but his pass rush was non-existent.

    3. Aaron Schobel did not do much.

    4. Stroud is still a beast. And Kyle Williams was outstanding at times.

    5. Keith Ellison played pretty well, but missed an easy sack late in the game.

    6. Jonathan Scott was respectable filling in for Butler.

    7. Bryan Scott played damn well.

    8. Fred Jackson was great, but he has a bad habit of fumbling.

    9. Roscoe showed great effort in stopping Piscatelli from scoring. Trent did too, but would have never made the play.

    10. Marcus Buggs, in his first game did just fine.

    11. Schouman played well two weeks in a row, but I fear his season is over. He runs good patterns, makes the catch and can run after the catch for modest gains.

    12. Reggie Corner did very well filling in for Leodis.

    13. Great job of opening up the playbook early. If Youboty catches the lateral he was gone. At least oponents have something to think about for the rest of the year when punting. And then running the reverse to TO was fun.

    14. Holy blitzing in the 2nd half!!!! Fewell was sending guys damn near every play. Which makes sense without big play receivers and a QB that is less mobile than I am.

    15. The middle of the O-line is much better than last year. Not only Wood and Levitre, but Hamgartner too.

    16. Jenkins is better on ST than Wendling, although the penalty on him was weak.

    17. Tampa is a mess. 4 facemask penalties? A bunch of false starts?

    18. Going for it on 4th down, when the Bills are dominating the lines? Love it!

    19. Trent threw three perfect deep balls. Of course, TO had to drop one.

    20. Great to see the all time team. I think I weigh as much as Jim Ritcher.

    21. Moorman seems a little off. He was at his best when Schneck was here.

    22. Rian Lindell with a nice job on kick-offs. Bobby April likes to mix up the calls.

    23. My voice is shot. And I am sunburned.

    24. There is too much road construction in the area.

    25. The last two openers had crappy weather. Dude was at those two games. This year was nice and he was not there. Coincidence?

    26. Although I was only at the tailgate briefly, it was good to see the out of towners like Pride and BAM and Mad Bomber!

    On #9 - Parrish had to run down the guy b'cse he was at fault. His inept block led to the guy tackling FJ and causing the fumble. Had he blocked him well, FJ still had a defender, but he was in front of him and FJ could have tried to shake him or just go down - less likely a fumble would have occured...

        It is still Freddie's fault for fumbling. Roscoe might have missed a block, but the RB still has to hold onto the ball.

        A few other notes:

        McGee made some important plays and very solid tackles.

        The Bills need to work on the TE across the middle, although Winslow is a talented one. He beat McGee one time. That can't happen.

            It's both their faults. Parrish shouldn't get off scot-free just b'cse he ran the guy down afterwards. He helped create the conditions for the fumble.

              1.) Whitner probably had his best game of his pro career.
              2.) Our line looks ALOT better than last year, on both sides of the ball, but on offense in particular.
              3.) TO, Lee & Trent seem to have great chemistry, but we still need a #3 guy to step up.
              4.) Freddy Jackson is very comparable to Lynch.
              5.) AVP is clearly doing a great job calling the plays.

                On #4 - Stroud and Kyle definitely had an outstanding game. But I don't want to get too happy. They were facing a backup Center. They need to do the same against starting Centers...

                  Great thread, I love reading the thoughts of people who were there! There were some good and bad plays during the game, but a lot to take away from it.

                  Although I have to ask...with #16, wasn't Jenkins inactive today?

                      Yes. I think Jenkins should be in there and Wendling out (or cut)

                        Good point, but the Tampa guards were not slowing them down either. And Williams played well last week too.

                          What I saw was a team that was good because of there fans but scared later in the game......

                          The 12th man kept them in the game and TAMPA will be 4-12 at best this year....

                          Hopefully the Bills get some confidence after this win....

                            Ohh, now I understand. Gotcha...thought you were talking about the penalty on Jenkins.
