Re: 2007 Buffalo Bills - Does Anyone Have Any Hope?
The defense isn't the problem. The defense lost Ellison (starting LB), Wire (his replacement), Simpson (starting FS), and Webster (starting CB). They will only gave up 15 points, and although the Broncos moved the ball well the Bills defense definitely did enough to win the game. You can't blame them for those long late drives, either, as they were totally gassed and the offense couldn't protect the lead whatsoever at the end.
Problem 1 - HORRIBLE Game Day Coaching
Jesus christ our coaches suck. We have to face it. I mean, it's late in the game, a drive would be huge, and with like 8 left in the 4th we get the ball and give it to A-TRAIN??!?!? 3 straight times? PUNT. Back on the field defense. Now the defense gets meatground all the way down and the game is slipping away. The offense comes out desperately needing to milk some time as <3 minutes remain, and we run once, run WAYYY outside and stop the clock, then throw incomplete. lol. Stupid idiots. Not like we could have benefited by running another minute off the clock. Also, the Bills consistently got owned by an obv Madden style cheese. Bills run all cover 2 on defense, Broncos kept lining up with Twin WR, Bills kept stubbornly leaving a corner on the weak side covering NO ONE and shifting a backup LB out on to Walker in the slot. So dumb.
Problem 2 - TERRIBLE Quarterbacking
Let's just face it. Losman sucks and will never be good. He must have the most <100 yard passing games in the history of the league for a starter. It's not even surprising anymore when he passes for under 100 yards. That pathetic idiot manages to ride Lynch's coattails for SEVEN TOTAL OFFENSIVE POINTS. And obv when the game is on the line, Losman just terribly misthrows a deep ball to Evans that could have won the game. He sucks and has no future or no redeeming qualities.
