My favorite reason is because Fitz is smart

Ryan Fitzpatrick Is Smart:

Fitzpatrick didn’t have a good game against the Giants. Three INTs will do that to any quarterback. But Fitzpatrick is smart. He went to Harvard. He scored a 48 on the Wonderlic. Highest for a QB ever. So if you think he isn’t learning from his mistakes last week, you are probably wrong. Now if Fitzpatrick learned from all his mistakes and never made them again, he’d probably be better than a career journeyman who’s nickname fluxuates between “Fitzmagic” and “Fitztragic.”

if he's so smart why is he still having 3 INT games?

Smarts doesn't always relate to physical capability. We know that from watching him QB the Bills.

Cover short to middle . Force Fitz to beat us deep but make sure McKelvin is not on the field. Bills win.

the bills historically like to make players we didn't want look like superstars. i am prepared for a big letdown in houston.

Fitz has been smart his entire career and he keeps having games like last week.

Because he's a "gunslinger" and he lets his belief that he is physically capable of making the throw override his brain telling him not to do it.

He shouldn't.

I think the Bills know they laid an egg last week.

I fully expect them to have one of the better games of the year this week.

No way. Not until they bench EJ, trade Spiller, fire Marrone, hire Polian, and cut Mario. The sky is falling!

Anybody have a handle on why they imploded last season? I know about Shaub's woes. Did they suffer a storm of injuries, bad luck, etc.?

Fair comment but they have also had to defend the pass.
Next Sunday not so much.
So I don't see us getting 200, despite their 144 rush yards per game given up.

I'm pretty sure Arian Foster was playing the first half of the season hurt and missed the second half due to injury. That and Schaub was really bad.

I watched a replay of the Texans loss to the Giants and the Texans D looked weak.

Foster also makes a huge difference to their O.

The Bills can beat them but it won't be easy.

Thanks. It should shape up to be a decent game, both clubs at 2 and 1 so far. In another thread, our poster Mahdi mentioned about BUF playing a lot of man defense (db's backs to the qb) and expressed concern about Fitz taking off. That was a good point.
