NFL Week 11

Recommended Posts

For the last month all the teams the Bills have played have realized that there is no reason to play the run. So he has a lot of time to look downfield as everyone is covered...and eventually he tries to force it... And he throws picks. That...in a nutshell...is what happened to Trent Edwards.

That's because I've sat and watched the full games and not just the highlights. They HAVE been the Raiders or Lions since the San Diego game. They CAN'T run. So now they CAN'T throw. Their defense hangs around for about 3 quarters or so and then disapears. And the coaching decisions (especially the offensive playcalling of late) has made me wonder when they forgot how to play on 3rd and 1.

It doesn't work quite that black and white. The inability to run has always been the problem this year (even at 5-1). The problem is their failure to make any adjustments once someone figured out how to take away the short pass that was serving as the defacto running game. It's been weeks and they still haven't figured out how to get the ground game to be even passable when it needs to be. The Bills only know how to win 1 way. Long drives with short passes. They've had a long time to try and practice and use anything else...and they can't figure it out. They have talent...they just haven't figured out more than 1 way to use it yet. That's coaching, IMO.

So in short, the Bills are one-dimensional. Sounds about right. Still, 5-4 and in playoff contention is still pretty decent for a team like the Bills (As a Raider fan, you kind of forget what meaningful football in November is like). I don't blame you being passionate right now, its exciting to have your team play meaningful games late.

These games won't be meaningful for long if they don't start winning. As in, start winning tonight. The rest of their division is surging ahead of them.
