Just pointing out BAD playcalling when it happens. This Raider game and the Buffalo game to me were both among the worst coached games I've seen... Games in Which the game was easily won if the team just took what the defense gave them and forced inept offenses on the other side to march the field... Just two horrible losses against teams, at the time we played them, were among the worst in the NFL..... Inexcusable losses... Like I told you in another thread, If we were playing the Colts in either of these games, there would be less reason to be upset. So far, I've seen just about every NFL pundit shocked at the playcalling as well as Bills fans I know (I lived in Buffalo for 5 years).... Bills fans are just SHOCKED that this game was handed to them...
Did you see the Bills @ the Jets last year or how about Pats @ Bills this year . Tell me they even compare to your worst coached games. The problem is your projecting what may have happened because you looked at stats . Last year the Raiders were giving up a lot of rushing yards and this year we had gained a lot of yards on the Bills. How many of those NFL pundits watched the entire Jets game. I'd be shocked if any. They are doing the same thing you are doing - OMG they gained 300+ yards rushing , oh and look Sanchez threw 5 picks and it was windy - terrible gameplan. Its all stats based and not predicated on the actual breakdown of the actual game.
NOT AT ALL..... I could see why you want to assume this but, I said going in to both games that the team should run all day until the very mediocre opponent in both cases showed something..... One game is in the cold and wind with a rookie who has never seen it and another game is against the worst run D in the NFL who happens to defend the pass and rush the passer...Both mistake prone / BAD offenses. AGAIN - Against a Good Run D and against a good offense YOU WON"T SEE ME HERE TALKING LIKE THIS!!!!!! We happen to be talking about two of the worst teams in the NFL with Bad offenses and Bad run defenses.. I SCREAMED IT during both games.... I was in a Game Thread for the Buffalo game with Bills fans and they were all saying "WHY are the jets letting us back in the game????" ... And I'll say it right now... RUN THE BALL VS OAKLAND THIS WEEK!!!!! (Though SHIT, its almost too obvious at this point - The Raiders should put 11 in the box all day) I actually didn't and didn't need to look at the stats from either game - To me, the stats only embold the people trying to act as if we "ran Enough".... To me, the stats don't matter - Just doing something the opposition can't stop, making an inept offense march the field and eating the clock is what matters....
