I'm on the way back home on the train from the game and I cannot stand how we play called the offense tonight. Horseshit effort early on and a letdown in the red zone in the end. Bowles went for two costly 4th downs instead of kicking the fg and that sacked because we didn't covert and I didn't stand the calls there. I agree...we all should be fucking pissed
Absolutely horrible playcalling. I'm so sick and tired of seeing a 1st and 10 run between the guards. Don't even get me started on how bad those 2 redzone drives were where they refused to give the ball to Ivory. Ivory runs for 8 on 1st down and then loses 2... They stop giving him the ball? For those two horseshit plays? Brandon Marshall was constantly in 1 on 1 press coverage.. Why are we not running playaction deep to marshall? The one time we did Fitz threw a dime and he dropped it but still. The play calling is absolutely terrible.
The guys on sny basically just ripped Gailey for his lack of creativity and adaptability. All of them agreed.
What pisses me off the most were those short passes on 3rd and 4th downs that were behind the fucking 1st and 10 mark, as if an injured Marshall was the same beast as healthy Marshall.
Gailey and Fitzpatrick must have been popping a bunch of pain killers and smoking blunts......No other explanation for some of these decisions Gailey was awful but Fitz as the QB has other options and can override some of these moronic calls...The fact that he changed to a QB sneak on 3rd and 10 proves that he wasn't all there either
Yeah we converted on a 4th down after.....Doesn't change the fact that running a qb sneak for 5 yards on 3rd and long was in any way smart
I dont have a problem with the sneak, he knew we were going for it and the Bills werent expecting it. He made it a 4th and manageable.
His inability , or stubbornness , or whatever anyone wants to call it , to run it on 3rd and short is very frustrating. 2 times tonight the team was in 4 down territory and passes were called on both 3rd down and 4th down.
Just got home from the game.. What a fucking disgrace!! 1st half - 3rd and 18. You could see it was going to be a field possession game. Why throw the ball downfield? Run a draw or a screen. Punt it away and pin them. InsteD we throw an INT. Changed entire game 3rd and 2 (first time) - decker drops the ball, high % play, needs to be caught. 4th and 2.. Idk what the fuck that was to Marshall. Drive after the botched punt -- Ivory rips off 7 or 8. Okay 2nd and short, from my seats it looked like it was an offset I and we ran a counter.. Fuck that. Pound it up in there!!! Okay we lost a yard. 3rd and 3.. POUND IT TWO MORE TIMES!!!!!! What the fuck are we thinking. We go as Ivory goes. He just ripped off a monster 7/8 yard run!!! Why go away from it. Also, I swear to god if I see another 1st and 10 dive play I am going to lose it. It is insanity!! That screen play we ran to Kerly early in the game on third down.. Run that on first! Start the drive off with a nice easy completion.
Come on man.....if the Jets are on defense in that situation I'll give them that sneak for a few yards every time It worked out but it was moronic
I just think the reality that gailey realized fitz's potential and limited him to just that. CAN Fitz play above that? The answer is yes at times. But can he be a go-to guy in situations of need? I think we all need to come to the realization that NO he is not that guy. We haven't had a guy like that some Ken O'Brien that an offensive coordinator could unleash the playbook to and trust judgement on all reads throughout the field given the quality receivers we have today.
Yeah it was but he saw something in the defense that we didnt and he gained 6. Ill take 4th and 5 over 4th and 10 anyday
There's not a high ceiling on that play....the best you are getting there is 4th and medium. Basically it sets up 4th and "manageable" at best Like I said, on defense I'll give them that play every time
If that was 2nd down it's totally fine, and actually smart (If it's 4 down territory) I get what you guys are saying but I completely disagree
