Time for some football, eh!

TD Scott Chandler. Really nice drive by the Bills.

 

[dharmapunk]

 

[dharmapunk]

Woa - really?

Chandler is 1 TD away from tying the Bills franchise record for TDs by a TE in one season?

Speaking of Bills TEs catching TDs, anyone remember Butch Rolle? He had like, what? 4 or 5 catches in one season, all of them for TDs?



ETA: it was 1990, and he had 3 recs for 3 TDs.

Butch Rolle? ETA - you already updated it.

Yea. I laughed at myself right after posting that.

Man, either the pass rush needs to get there on the blitz, or McKelvin needs to actually keep his guy covered instead of just stopping and watching him run open the other way.

 

[dgreen]

Beck should have hit Hankerson for a TD, or at least a long play inside the 5. Horrible throw.

 

[GroveDiesel]

And then McKelvin makes a decent play to undercut the route but let's the ball bounce right off his hands.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Remember when

 

[DCThunder]

Wow, have they greased the ball?

 

[dontknowaboutme]

Time to put in Helu

 

[Steve Tasker]

Fred Jackson's gotta fall on that ball instead of trying to pick it up and run with it.

 

[dgreen]

Redskins offense making a bad Bills D look decent.

I hate to criticize Fred Jackson for anything, but yeah that was a dumb mistake.

 

[phrozen]

Let's hope they can fix Beck's thumb

 

[IvanKaramazov]

FG is blocked, so the fumble comes to nothing.

 

[phrozen]

Ooof another big sack

And a blocked FG

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Let's hope they can fix Beck's thumb

 

[Steve Tasker]

Well done by the Bills D. Skins end up 3rd and 16 from the 21, Byrd blindsides Beck on a safety-blitz and the Bills block the 49-yard FG attempt.

 

[phrozen]

stupid penalty by Wilson

 

[GroveDiesel]

If Fitzpatrick throws that ball more downfield instead of so far UP, then Spiller catches it in stride for a TD. Fitz HAS to do a better job on long balls.

[phrozen]

3rd sack on Beck

 

[DCThunder]

This offense is pathetic. Megamind Kyle better go back to the drawing board.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Here's a sneaky item that most people probably overlook: the Bills kickoff coverage unit had been great and they are purposefully gameplanning using the new kickoff spot to use that to their advantage. Lindell has been instructed to purposefully kick just a tad short and put it right around the goaline. Because of that, teams are constantly running it out of the endzone and the Bills are tackling them between the 10 and 15 yardlines a LOT this season.

Also, Dareus is killing it so far this game. Having a monster game right now.

 

[phrozen]

This offense is pathetic. Megamind Kyle better go back to the drawing board.

 

[dgreen]

0% chance of a win if it gets to 17-0. Maybe about 5% if they can hold them to a FG here.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I just called that. "They're gonna throw here, and it's gonna be intercepted."

 

[phrozen]

Nice INT by Fletcher.

 

[phrozen]

Beck 4th Sack

Looks like Buffalo may have another shot this quarter

 

[Steve Tasker]

I don't really understand that timeout by the Redskins there before 3rd and 13.

 

[phrozen]

That drive was pathetic

 

[GroveDiesel]

The Bills are absolutely destroying Washington's Center.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

This offense is pathetic. Megamind Kyle better go back to the drawing board.

That won't be fair until there is a QB in DC who can properly execute the scheme. There are WR's open all over the place.

 

[IvanKaramazov]

Great catch/run by Jackson, but how do you allow that as Washington in this situation?

Edit: Thigpen needs to pay attention on the sidelines.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Thigpen takes a football to the head.

 

[DCThunder]

It's not just the QB. The O-line is a real patchwork and the back-ups are not very good.

 

[GroveDiesel]

Oh man. The $60M man and new face of the franchise gets hurt and they immediately cut to backup Tyler Thigpen getting drilled in the side of the head by a football. Not a good sign at all. ;lmao:

 

[GroveDiesel]

How can you lineup that far offsides like that if you're Brad Smith? That was ridiculous as was the offensive playcall before that.

 

[dgreen]

I'm so glad that Beck doesn't turn it over as much as Rex, but, well, he also doesn't really produce anything positive.

 

[BobbyLayne]

FJax just killing the Skins

Very impressive performance

 

[IvanKaramazov]

TD #2 for Chandler. Weird call on 3rd and 1, but I'll take it.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Chandler catches another TD and does the Lambeau Leap into a bunch of empty seats

 

[DCThunder]

The route is officially on.

That. Was. AWESOME!Toronto peeps don't have the hang of that routine yet.

 

[Premier]

I really like this Buffalo team. Great unis, cool stadium (today aside), tortured history and 7th-rounders ballin everywhere. They're always my Sunday ticket featured team.

Toronto is geographically close (90-120 minute drive, depending on traffic), but there's really not much of a Bills fanbase there....unfortunately.Still, though...the sports culture there is...different.
