Gonna be a laugher today.

GB 34, Bills 13

 

[dharmapunk]

The Bills forced Rodgers to take a timeout!

YEA! IN YOUR FACE GREEN BAY! BILLS RULE!#@#

 

[Steve Tasker]

Packers offense looking pretty good so far. Rodgers missed James Jones by a hair on a long TD throw.

Bills D jumps offside twice (one was declined).

Packers call TO with a 3rd and 3 in Bills territory.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Rodgers slightly overthrows James Jones along the sideline....Jones can't get his feet inbounds. 3-0 Packers

 

[Andy Hicks]

Packers keeping Brandon Jackson out of the early contact with only 1 carry.

The other Running Backs used so far are Kuhn with 2 carries and Johnson caught a pass

 

[Steve Tasker]

Marshawn Lynch the lone-back on both of the first 2 plays. 2 carries for basically nothing.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Edwards sits in the pocket....more than enough time to throw....and he holds onto it for the sack.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

I want to have Clay Matthews children.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Jermichael Finley right in the middle of the Bills D with no Bills defender within 10 yards of him.

Dear God,

Ralph Wilson has had a good run. He helped found the National Football League. He's responsible for both the Bills and the Raiders still being around. He's been a positive influence in the Buffalo community, helping the underprivileged and poor for decades. Do you really think Fate will mind if you take him into your blessed domain a few years early? All I'm saying is, think about it God. Think about it.

Sincerely,

Bills Fans

 

[Steve Tasker]

Lynch still in the backfield. Jackson and Spiller still haven't been in on offense.

My father is speculating that they're trying to showcase Lynch in an effort to get the Packers to trade for him.

Advertising the goods. I hear they're asking for a mid rounder and A.J. Hawke.

Theoretically, it's in his best financial interest (for his children) if he dies this year, assuming they don't retroactively enact the estate tax. I'm not saying I'm hoping for it, but I can't say it hasn't crossed my mind.

Nance in the game

Well, at this rate he'll be worth a bag of apples by the end of the game. Maybe not such a great strategy. Also not a great strategy: not getting the ball out of Trent's hands quickly.

 

[Billy1x]

Nance now leading in yards per carry

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Looking for Finley early and often...

 

[Steve Tasker]

You know, I've always liked Chris Kelsay. Hard-working overperformer who gets very little respect. But he's not a LB.

I just don't understand why teams have a scheme in mind and insist on implementing it. The Bills do NOT have 3-4 players. Rodgers has picked on Kelsay every single ####### time he's out in coverage.

 

[Tony Jabroni]

Stupid challenge

While we're on this topic: Marcus Stroud is NOT a defensive end.

what happened on the play?

I agree.I understand that it's a long process and the Bills are in the process of developing the 3-4, drafting guys like Alex Carrington and Torell Troup, etc. But they just don't have 3-4 players right now. Why not run some kind of hybrid? I don't understand why they're married to the 3-4 so soon.

 

[Steve Tasker]

what happened on the play?

WR went up over McKelvin (IIRC) along the sideline for the catch. One foot was pretty clearly on the out-of-bounds line. Refs called it incomplete and Packers challenged and lost. Good call by the refs.Not that it matters....13-0 now.

 

[Steve Tasker]

the Bills have -14 yards of offense so far.

 

[dharmapunk]

That's it Marshawn. Make it look good.

 

[RBM]

Wow all Lynch huh

 

[Osaurus]

Key play by Woodson.

 

[Steve Tasker]

WGR 550 was railing on the Bills just this morning, saying that they should just go deep and hope for a penalty. That strategy worked right there.

 

[captbly]

Whats up with Spiller?

Woodson was kind enough to return his wallet after he mugged him.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Whats up with Spiller?

no idea.Returned a kickoff and caught a 3rd-down pass, but I don't think I've seen him even in there on offense other than that 3rd down. Lynch has been the single back on the majority of the plays, and Jackson just took those red zone carries for a TD.

 

[dharmapunk]

Whats up with Spiller?

They don't want to trade him to Green Bay.I know it sounds silly and cynical but it's the honest truth.

 

[dharmapunk]

If Buffalo drives and takes the lead here, I just may eat my own poop.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Edwards slow to get up, holding his ribcage/upper chest after taking a shot on the intentional grounding.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is shown warming up on the sideline, but Edwards stays in.

 

[dharmapunk]

If Buffalo drives and takes the lead here, I just may eat my own poop.

Thank goodness they punted. I really didn't want to do this.

Last week, his performance was probably the worst OLB display I have ever seen. Off to a slow start this week...

 

[Young 8]

WTF is wrong with Rodgers ?

 

[dharmapunk]

Wow. Nice little end-around by Parrish.

 

[cubbie5150]

WTF is wrong with Rodgers ?

Doesn't look sharp at all.

 

[BoomBoom]

Don't get why GB wouldn't take their last time out there and have 1:00 left with the ball on the 20 with no timeouts, compared to ball on the 20 with 1 timeout and 21 seconds left.

 

[yorbacus]

Where is Jennings?

 

[Bills Fan]

Cause and effect of 10 years out of the playoffs: Randy Cross as a color commentator.

This game is not all about "hidden yardage," Randy, we get it.

PS. Welcome back, Marshawn, you look damn good so far.

 

[OC Zed]

I love the power running game from Buffalo in the first half.

 

[OC Zed]

3rd and long... Here comes the blitz and a bad play from Trent...

[GroveDiesel]

Hey Trent, if you're going to throw INTs anyway, you might as well chuck it down the field and try to pick up some big yardage instead of turning the ball over and STILL only having 40 passing yards partway through the 3rd quarter.

This guy is a loser. I thought he was finally ready to throw downfield a bit more but obviously that's not happening. If you can't throw downfield and keep turning the ball over on short passes, then what good are you? Yeah, the O-line is terrible, but QBs have to do SOMETHING to help the team gain yardage.

This defense is playing well for the second week in a row with nothing to show for it.

 

[gigantor]

wow Rodgers needs to get it together
