I just watched Pagano's press conference from today and he says after looking at the tape, everything is fixable.
I meant to put that as a positive part in the 'positives and negatives thread'.
A few turnovers and penalties killed us. Then a few big plays given up by the D killed us. I agree with Pagano, though, just about everything we did wrong yesterday is fixable. On K. Williams' big TD run, Freeman overran his gap and left a gaping hole in our defense. On the big TD pass, Butler got burned when he was playing with a cushion, which shouldn't happen.
Let's not forget, we've only ever lost back-to-back regular season games once in the Pagano era. That was last year when we started 0-2 -- and we had a very good game plan going into Philadelphia in week 2 -- Luck threw a very costly pick on a very poor decision late in that game when we had the lead and essentially just had to run some more time off the clock, otherwise we would have won that game.
I, for one, firmly believe this team is better than what we saw yesterday and that we've got a competent enough coaching staff to get our mistakes corrected moving forward. I also think people are underestimating how good that Bills' D is (perhaps the best in the league). For those reasons, I think it is way too early for anyone to start hitting the panic button.
Please dont start being reasonable..... this is a "sky is falling forum"!!!
Please take that half full approach someplace else!
We all know that we need to:
Fire the Coach
Fire the GM
Fire the OL coach
Fire the OL
Fire the DL
Fire the ILBs
Trade Luck
Get rid of ALL the older FAs that we picked up
Quickly sign the named FA.... that hasnt played for 3 years
Close the roof
Open the roof
All at once!!
People like you need to get on board....... this is a doom forum
Sarcasm........ off

Frankly..There is WAY too many complaining that the o-line and d-line are 'horrible'.
If you think so..you DID NOT watch the game.
The o-line did fine. They allowed 1 sack, and 5-6 pressures on Luck the entire game.
Plus the running game was BETTER than the Bills.
Against one of the best front 7's in the NFL..I think this is amazing.
The problem was not how good/bad it was..the problem was we ran it so little. That is coaching.
The D-line -and Vonte- Was THE bright spot of the D. They got penetration early and often. Anderson and Langford had multiple tackles behind the line and created QB pressure. Parry held hid spot..hardly moving the entire game, except when he was penetrating the line also.
The ILB's were BY FAR the worst stain on the field. Bad positioning,..over playing runs..and if they did get in position,..they wiffed tackles.
Grigson/Pagano deserve credit for how much improvement they brought to the trenches..not spit-sayings.
On that note however,...Hamilton needs to redirect his game plans. If the run is working..stay with it.
And Grigson/Pagano also need to continue with their trend of replacing LB's who are not performing with new young faces if they do indeed perform better in the near future.
Right on the nose post!!!!

Missing a few weeks because of a bruise? That extension is really paying off..
Sort of a silly post, dontcha think?

And still made it to the AFC championship game....
It's one game and it might even be a good thing that it happened. This offense had heard all off-season how they were going to be the league leading unit and that they were going to be "the greatest shoe on earth"..... This will knock them back into reality and make them work their butts off.
The Pats were tipped to be on the downfall and Brady was supposedly washed up and done by week 4 last season.... In case you hadnt heard, they went on to win the SB....
If we get manhandled again by the Jets, then I might be seriously questioning this team, but after watching what went wrong from yesterdays game I think they bounce back.
Its much more fun doing the "sky is FALLING dance"
Oh no............
We will be fine
Our OL is a little better than last year
Our DL is a little better than last year (Maybe 2 notches better)
Our best CB SHUT DOWN their best WR.......
Our new RB (Dont call me AL) is a good player (We just need to run him more)
Our QB...... had a horrible game
Our ILBs....... stunk up the place
Our recievers did NOT fight for the 50/50 ball
"The sun will come up..... tommorow....." Best Shirley Temple voice (Ok I am old)
-
Luck needs good coaching, too. It is obvious he's not getting it.
The coach wasnt throwing the passes........
-
... Luck played like garbage today and it wasn't because of his OL. As I said in another thread, Luck still stares down his receivers and is late getting rid of the ball. On top of that the first 20 plays shouldn't have been so lopsided in terms of play callingTHANK YOU!!!
The OL kept one of the best DL's off of Luck
He had enough time......... He just played POORLY
Maybe his worst game as a pro
Bad passes cant be blamed on the OL
(At least this game)
Buffalo SHOULD have had 1-2 more INTS
I was very happy with Meworts play he will only get better
Also
Our reciviers didnt fight for the 50/50 ball..........
No passion....
Also
Our defense cant seem to tackle well (fundementals)
I think we need some promotions and demotions in the ILB corps
BUT.... our DL did ok (IMHO)
AND
Its one game
The offense will get in sync
Dont lose your head folks
-
Everything has some value
We ARE thin on the OL
If he is (A BIG IF) better than what we have, and he can be had for a decent value.....
Why WOULDNT you do it
He may be a past "name" that people have heard of, so we say yeah, yeah..........
WHo knows if he has anything in the tank........... But you DONT overpay to get someone like this
-
We will know soon enough if we need him
If we get some injuries to our current group....... YES
I would like to see what Gore, Robinson, and Varga can do first
-
I would have loved to see what Myers could do......
He seemed like a pile pushing guy we have been looking for awhile
-
We needed a big rotational guy
He has started 18 games
He was fast enough to block a kick.......... (Most of the former DL, would move quickly at the line of the cafeteria...... but thats it)
He doesnt need to be JJ Watt..... just rotational depth to give the starters a breather
This is a decent pickup
-
I'd be happy if he ended up being 50% of Watt
I think thats a milliwatt
-
Agreed. I'm not trying to say he is JJ Watt or will develop into JJ Watt. I'm just saying you can compare the two with quite a few similarities between them. Anderson has a lot to do before he gets anywhere near Watt's level, but he could possibly develop into a poor man's Watt.
The fact is...... Watt is probably a first ballot HOF, and is a once in a lifetime player
I would be happy if Anderson ended up being 90% of JJ Watt......... Very happy
-
Freeman is ok
I think he may be pushed to a backup role with the many ILB's coming in
Or....... (probably) will be let go through FA
Somethings up..... you dont keep adding ILBs if you are happy with what you got
-
There will be growing pains.......
But
The way I look at it, having faster guys shoot the gaps will make us better defending the pass as we get slow, non pass rush people off the field, the DL will break through on pass rush plays which should increase turnovers as well as increase "hurries"
Last year, the CBs did a decent to great job on the WRs. We had open guys because the QB had an extra second or two for the TE or H back to clear (with pokie LBs trying to keep up)
There SHOULD be shorter times to find the secondary reciever
The downside is we WILL get gashed on occasion for a long run.
You will see 8 yard rushes on occasion, when we guess wrong
But
You will also see running backs stuffed in the backfield when we guess right
These things can create 3rd and long situations, where we give up a few first downs then get a "play" and the defense comes off
I like these changes
Goodbye to the slow, NEVER penetrating "bricks" in the middle
-
Another way to look at the decision.......
Chapman.... our starter last year......... wasnt picked up by 31 teams........ think about it
Montori seems to have similar interest
Maybe they saw what our coaches saw.............

Quotes from the Seahawks board on McGill
"I think letting McGill go was a mistake. He flashed crazy skills as a gap-shooting dt"
"Add me to the group baffled by leaving McGill available"
"I feel the same about McGill. He was showing up and making plays. He's quick, powerful, plays lower and stronger at POA than Rubin IMO"
" All McGill did was show up and be a force every day."
"I fully expect to see McGill come back in a few years on a high paying FA contract a La Michael Bennett"
The fans there think the guys is a stud......... Lets not make him the next all pro.... but ......things look good!!

I am buying a snacks Tshirt
This guy could actually start for us by midseason....... LG...... here we come
We are THAT weak at LG
-
Sheeze........ a big, mauling pile moving guard......
LOVE IT!

I see a veteran or two being brought in. I can't see Chap and Hughes being replaced with all rookies. It begs questioning at this point, even if we bring in vets, are we messing with team chemistry a little too late in the game?
You may be right... BUT
Lets be honest.... Team chemisrty works when the players involved are making plays. Or at least holding their own.
Chapman wasnt improving....... Rewatch the Patriots game..... he was blocked easily... one on one..... on passing downs he just stood up and played patty cake with the center....no movement left or right.... and definitley no push...... on running downs the center just moved him out of the way......
He did get some double teams. Which he he was easily swept away..........
I am glad they made the choice
Parry was washed in the preseason with double teams, but did ok, one on one........ Thats an improvement over Chapman folks
I also think Parry will get better as the season progresses, as he learns to use leverage and pad heighth to his advantage.
I think they do need some rotational NT help. Parry cant play 3 downs all game long..... still not sure or sold on Kerr
-
I think some of you are underestimating Parry. As a rookie, he jumps off the screen on some plays. Gets much better penetration, stands up blockers, and makes plays. Chapman might do that once a game. So for a guy who has played four NFL games, he has nowhere to go but up. I think Parry will be very good.
The guy has movement...... Chapman just stood there........
I am excited to see him get a shot
But..... I feel likewe need someone..... better .. to rotate in with him
-
Adongo is a feel good story that just didnt work out
He didnt have anything for the Colts
-
Nix didnt do ANYTHING in Houston......... I mean anything
He had an injury in College that he ddnt come back from
-
Why didn't this team just draft L Collins in the late rounds? I will never understand that... at a position on paramount need?
Once Luck is paid this team is going to have to take chances on iffy playfers. or .... it they just wont get over the hump. Not nearly enough young talent on this D. And OL for that matter.
Oh well...
The Collins thing seems to stay on your radar............
It wouldve been nice...... but it isnt going to happen
I agree on the OL. I still think we need a pile moving G
I agree on the DL........ my gut tells me we are still a guy short.... but..... there are a large group of youg guys there
-
One of the players that I watched this preseason was Good
He seemed to do very well at Right tackle
He has good feet and kept his guy off the QB on passing downs.
On run downs he did a decent job as well, not just opening a hole, but sometimes
burying the DE
Before we go any further, I am not saying that we need to move him there and start him.
I have full confidence that Mewhort will continue to develop.
Mewhort has seemed to improve every series since he was embarrased a few games ago
He still has work to do, but you can see him adapting
The absolute love for Mewhort at LG amazes me. He DID pass block very well
But......... the guy was NOT what we needed pushing the pile for the run game.
He was part of the run game problem...... he couldnt seem to move any of the big fatties out of
the hole . He just couldnt do it
So..... why the post?
To me, Good is able to be the key backup for the Tackle spots (L and R)
Its time to move Reitz BACK to LG
This will help shore up our line
Thoughts?
... Luck played like garbage today and it wasn't because of his OL. As I said in another thread, Luck still stares down his receivers and is late getting rid of the ball. On top of that the first 20 plays shouldn't have been so lopsided in terms of play calling

The sad thing is
I would hate to see the Colts record in snow/rain and temperature under 25 degrees
(yes we won a SB in the rain)
But
We would probably have a record of 10-50
(There is a message there somewhere
)
