Positives and negatives of a Bills game

I was trying to think of who played well outside of Lacy.

 

Jones and Hawk didn't do to bad.  Tramon made a big play.  Defense in general was not to bad, they just don't have what it takes to compensate for the worst game I've ever witnessed from Rodgers.  

It was three hours I'll never get back. Ugly.

Chance to win and AR haters still have "no 4Q comebacks" to throw out there.

Special teams suck -- again.

 

I don't think we'll see Jordy miss one of those again. He looked a little complacent on that miss.

I hope we take it out on TB.

I hope the Vikings win.

I can't believe I just typed that last line... 

 

 

 

Anytime time this offense plays an elite defense on the road they look like that. Super Bowl team? Not gonna happen

Positive - If this team has a history of showing anything, it's their resilience. I'm not being falsely opitimistic when I sayi think they respond well to this loss and win out. Super Bowl team? Depends where they play Seattle.

Don't agree YP. Rodgers would have had a loss in an intramural flag football game today. Easily the worst I've seen him play as a starter. Give credit to the Bills but this was totally out of the norm for him.

Positive

 

Defense played well enough to win....4 FG's

 

Negatives

 

ARod and offense---but the real reason they lost is special teams.  We win the game if special teams doesn't screw up, as bad as offense played.  They cost us 10 points...give up 7, lose 3 on the block.

 

Special teams is absolutely horrible, in all aspects.  It's now 6 blocked kicks this year--2 FG's, 2 punts, 2 extra points.  Even Larry McCarren was commenting on the broadcase that is what a team should get blocked in 2-3 years.  I can't see, at this point, any reason Slocum shouldn't be fired...

thoroughly hilarious game. watching Rodgers dance around, looking for that ball on the last play made me laugh heartily.

looks like JC Tretter has a bright future.

defense played well enough to win. special teams breakdowns and a pathetically hilarious performance from Rodgers did them in.

I was starting to think this team was championship caliber but I just don't know. they seem to piss themselves when they play good defenses.

I can't imagine what this loss will do to them in the power rankings

Paws:

 

+ O line held their own against one of the best fronts.  Gives reason to be optimistic against Set and Sea.

 

+ Defense got off the field in a 4 min situation.  That didn't happen last year.

 

Negs:

 

- Dropped passes and limited separation.

 

- Dominated on special teams again.

 

- #12 not taking the check down and having an off day.

-Michigan Packer's  contributions to this board.

 

-His lack of understanding of play-off scenarios.

Negative : Rodgers played about as bad as you'll ever see him play.

 

Positive : You'll probably never see him play this bad again.

It wasn't all on Rodgers either. 6 dropped passes today.

 

Boykin sucks. He's really regressed. Make him inactive & activate The Janis

 

Perfect storm today but the world isn't coming to an end. It's an AFC loss. We still have everything in front of us. Need to finish 12-4 & win this division.

Agreed that the WRs were bad as a group today. Cobb really stepped it up in the 2nd half, though. MM is really doing good things when he's lined up in the backfield.

 

Couldn't agree more on Boykin, Boris. Time to give the rookie a chance, because 11 is bringing nothing to the table right now.

Positives: Lacy. The OL for the most part. The Claymaker. Pretty good coverage but it was Kyle Orton after all.

 

Negatives: Rodgers inaccurate at times and his WR's just betrayed him at times. The punt team in the first half.

The overall defense. I know. But they give up way too much yardage after contact and miss way too many tackles.

Peppers has been none existent of late.

The 3 straight passing attempts after 1st and 10 at the 39 that proceeded the punt return touchdown.

 

 

Alright prognosticators....  If GB wins out, do they still control their own destiny for a 1st round bye or do they need some help?

 

The way I see it, GB needs Philly to win the East and Arizona to win the West.  Yes?

+

Lacy and the OL protection was surprisingly good.

 

-

Defense was barely adequate and an overall failure in the other two phases.

Pretty much, yes but for the most part the Packers need to go 12-4

+ The Vikings are up 14 to zip.

Positives

- Game is over

- Lacy

- Tramon's INT

 

Negatives

- Everything else

Pos:

 

Lacy.

T. Williams pick

Pass defense was decent, but the Bills definitely helped with a few easy drops of their own.

 

Negs:

 

Everything else.  When Rodgers and Nelson both have off days, the Pack is going to lose 9 times out of 10.  

---  Failure to wrap and hold on during several tackles, especially 3 behind the line of scrimmage.  Those were game changing plays for sure. 

     A Rod was off on his timing and accuracy. Was throwing behind the receivers instead of out front on several throws.

     WR, TE and RB dropping several easy passes.

    Defensive failure in turning the ball over more than once.  Tramon had an easy recovery but he tried to pick and run instead of just falling on the ball. 

 

++++

Eddie Lacy.

Starks had a couple of nice runs.

Defense in stopping Beefalo in the red zone forcing FG. 

Doesn't it help us if Dallas wins the East then we would hold tie breaker over Philly based on head to head? 

wwwwwhat?

I don't know why I'm so positive, Maybe it's the codeine I'm on for the flu, but I'll say this..... You know why this team is so resilient? Because they are lead by winners and forward thinking people. Not negative nellies who harp on the past. They look to improve and not complain. And they certainly don't panic.  Their history is the proof in the pudding.

 

For those who thought this team would roll all the way to the SB, you obviously don't know the NFL of today and what EVERY team brings to the table week in and week out. Its the teams that respond to adversity and adjust that are consistently successful. Of course there are times you will be simply overmatched by talent and there's not a lot that can be done about that in season, but we know that's not the case in GB. It's a culture that's been built. There are very few teams that possess it. I certainly don't think Detroit does, and time will tell if Seattle and San Fran really does. Keep the faith.

No, better if the Eagles win the East with the same record as us. We own head-to-head tiebreaker

No... we would want Philly to win the East because we would own the tie breaker over them the for bye, assuming we have identical records.  Not sure if we own the tie breaker over Dallas. 

I have the faith brother Tavis,  preach it!    

Rodgers was really off today... and I don't get why Lacy didn't have more carries. Need a win next week to get things right again in Packersland.

 

 

Great post, Tavis.

+  Defense overall looked pretty stout today and made the stops that were needed

+  Nice game by Lacey

 

- Special teams are proving to be not very special at all, really glaring in these close games

- Jordy's human afterall

+ Rodgers and Nelson both picked the same game to ^@!$^# up

   Clay Matthews had a good day

   Some good stops by the defense

   Seattle and Detroliet are both currently losing (fingers crossed)

   Lacy....wow!

   Team kept trying and didn't give up

 

- Lots of dropped passes all around

  Rodgers passing

  Special Teams

  

  

   

@FieldYates: Worth repeating: in consecutive weeks, the Bills have held Peyton Manning & Aaron Rodgers under 200 yards, without a TD & force total 4 INT.

Let's crown their ass!

But if I am not mistaken Peyton is a washed up noodle arm, I read it on Times4

 

Pos

lacy

 

neg

everything else 

 

still dont one see this team threatening any of the powerhouses

 

today the d had a chance to stand up and take a win with 12 struggling and they also failed

Also add in that Tramon had a chance to recover the fumble at the end of the game, but tried to pick it up and missed so Bills recovered.

That makes zero ****ing sense.  The D played extremely well today.  

 

I think most fans would consider NE a powerhouse....
