Ok, so here it is 2 days post game. Here are some random thoughts I'd like to get down on "paper"... if for nothing else than to just let myself vent:
1. JP Losman needs to get his head out of his ass. When the season started... my fear was Losman would be making multiple mental mistakes per game, but overcompensating for them with his athleticsm and accuracy.
Turns out he has reversed this. His mental game isnt what is lacking at all.... I see him making the right reads (most of the time) and avoiding pressure the best he can behind this line... but what I DONT see is his ability to use his arm to beat anyone. Why his throws are off target, I will never know... but this is something he HAS to fix before this weeks game... or I will be on the "Bench JP bandwagon"
2. TKO's career is over... as a Bill and as a football player. He will never come back from this injury and be effective (see Sam Cowart)
3. Our defense isnt nearly as bad as all of you think it is. I believe they are simply trying to do too much. They are trying to single handedly win the games... they are going for INT's instead of batting the ball away... they are going for fumbles rather than wrapping up tackles... they are blitzing heavily to try to force turnovers and that allows big runs and passes. If they felt for 1 second our offense could score enough to win the game, I bet this gets greatly diminished.
4. Tom Clements (or whoever is calling the offensive plays) needs to have his ass whooped! 3rd and 3 we go 4 WR's??? To me.. that is the same as Gilbride used to call.
5. Our WR's wanted a more open offense, and they got it this week. Regardless of whether or not the passes were on target, they need to get open! I hardly saw a WR beating a CB on the field the other day. We threw 5 long passes I believe, and all 5 times, the CB was blanketing our WR. Sure the pass was off, but had it been on target, it may have been picked off or batted down anyway.
6. Stupid Fans!!! Who were the morons trying to start the wave in the 3rd quarter while we were down and on Defense??? MORONS!!! I've already stated the rules for the wave. But I assumed people knew you had to be WINNING to even consider it! Don't get me started on the fights in the stadium that day (2 of which were within earshot of me)
7. Props to the band from Maryland... that was the most entertaining band I have seen at the ralph in years... in fact... it was the most exciting (non football) event I have seen at the Ralph in years... (I am pointing the finger directly at the bills marketing brass)
8. If I never see Ronald McDonald throwing things into the seats again it will be too soon!
9. Billy Buffalo is starting to grow on me a little.
10. Props to the Concession guys for having guys/gals out selling water/soda/etc at this game. They didnt do enough of it at the opener... we complained... they listened and changed it. I saw a guy selling water at least twice every quarter
Because of that, I didnt need to leave my seat once!
