Here is this week's rant from OpIv:
Well, we knew the video game numbers and perfect season wouldn't last forever. They had to end sometime, and Cincy knocked the Bills back down to earth. This was an all-around loss, with both the offense and the defense struggling and the coaches having no answers, all against a very mediocre Cincinnati team.
The Bills looked flat from the start. This was a classic "trap" game and they fell into it big time. Too much energy and emotion went into the win over NE and they were unprepared on Sunday.
-I was very disappointed in how Fitz handled the pressure. He rushed passes when he didn't have to and it destroyed his accuracy. On the sack where he got his jersey ripped, he locked on to his receiver and it was way too easy for the defense to cover.
-Fred Jackson was about the only player worth a damn.
-Spiller came through with a key first down but still isn't contributing consistently enough.
-It was nice to see Brad Smith involved in the regular offense and not just a part of gimmick plays.
-The lack of offense was disconcerting, but I'm more worried about the D. Despite all the effort put into the unit in the off-season, they still need some serious help. They live and die by the turnover- if they don't get the big play, then they get pushed all over the field. They got picked apart by Andy friggin' Dalton.
