I was actually proud of them today.
and now I'm broken once again.
I'm over the being proud. this isn't high school. no one gives a crap that we only lost by 6 pts to the cheatriots. it's just another L. get a QB, get a coach then i'll start to care again
I'm not pinning this on Fitz at all. The guy played great today and I think that Graham ****ed up the route.
The problem is the ****ing defense and Dave Wannstadt. Whenever he brought pressure on Brady, we had success. When Brady could sit back, he tore us apart, just like every other QB in the NFL.
Funny-ass post. To the Bills credit, half of those penalties were absolute horse****.
hahaha
the refs got ****ing tired of throwing flags.
But this is so typical of Fitz. It's the 2nd time this season that the guy had a great game, but then choked when it counted most. He's not clutch and he's not a winner.Quote:

Fergy used to do that a lot.
Why was he put in said position?Quote:

Fitz doesn't fumble that ball in quarter number one, we don't need to do anything else in that two minute drive besides run out the clock.
Yeah, that's definitely how football works.Quote:

I don't care what Fitz would say to take the blame for the rookie. Just look at the CB position in the end zone, there is no way in hell the play or the option on the play calls for going behind the CB. And the ball should be out before or right at the time Graham making the cut, and they had cleared that area nicely; in other words, no way for Fitz to hold back (or you are going to see a Trent Edwards type of throws).
This is just that - a bad luck. Jones got hurt and Jackson got hurt, using up two timeouts leaving the Bills with no choice but pass. I can almost hear Belichick says the exact same thing as he said in the last superbowl: "cover Johnson, cover Chandler, challenge Graham to beat you." Unfortunately, he's right this time.

Doesn't matter. It's a position that a starting NFL QB should be able to handle. The loss wasn't his fault, but he was in a position to win and couldn't pull it off.Quote:

Of course there were the occasional 45-7 blowouts, but for the most part, the games were competitive, just like yesterday. It's just that the Bills would figure out a way to blow it in the end...Pat Toomay bumping a referee....Tony Greene's 105 yard interception TD called back for Defensive holding...Dempsey missing the kick in the rain in 1979...the list goes on and on.
Thanks for letting me rant.
I just feel like I've seen this movie before.
