Time and again the Bills would shoot themselves in the foot with stupid and lazy penalties, and the Cards bailed them out nearly every time. So hard to watch.
I have no idea why people thought relative journeymen were suddenly going to make a difference with the line. Neither of those guys they brought in were difference makers.For me this was the biggest disappointment of the game. With the players who the Cardinals brought in via FA I had hoped at least the rush defense would look somewhat better. Yet they still got gashed in the run game.
I guess the idea was that the guys that played major snaps on the interior D-line were off the street FA's, and most are out of the league now, so getting a rotation level questionable starter would be enough to see improvement. Certainly wasn't the case the first game, and freaking ROY LOPEZ showed out more than any other d-lineman. It's a joke.I have no idea why people thought relative journeymen were suddenly going to make a difference with the line. Neither of those guys they brought in were difference makers.
Can't blame this on Kliff.
It was implied. Trying to stir up racism should be a ban-able offense.??? Hmmm, sounds like it touched a nerve and nothing about race was even said.
Oh my god I’m shocked a guy seeing his first action all season didn’t play perfectly! Show us all the QBs that killed it week one with zero preseason snaps….I've said a bunch of times he's looked changed and I had high hopes for him.
He just didn't play well.
It's not all on Kyler, no. There's plenty of blame to go around, in the coaching staff and on both sides of the ball. However, when your QB has a 2nd half like that, and is awful in that half, he shoulders a lot of blame. A lot. He was not good in the second half, as not good as he was good in the first half.
Ok, so he maybe had a split second - but to wind up for that long throw with D lineman bearing down on him he didn't after that split second.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media
Even Larry Fitz didn't have a "stellar" debut. 8 targets/4 catches/70 yards with the great Josh McKown at QB.Hindsight but as good as the first half was I wish there was more of an emphasis on Marv.
For stopping the run journeymen can make a difference. It's pass rushing ability that makes you expensive.I have no idea why people thought relative journeymen were suddenly going to make a difference with the line. Neither of those guys they brought in were difference makers.

Well probably, because despite what they said to the media they know they screwed up by never getting Harrison involved in the game.I'm confident we'll see a better, more complete offensive performance this upcoming week vs. the lambs. Hang in there a be a little patient please my friend.
Because it felt like we could have won yesterday, losing that one was particularly awful I know. Everybody's frustrated.
BRUH Dortch had eight (8) targets and MHJ had 3. James Conner had more targets than MHJ and Petzing hates giving targets to running backs.A fair take on Kyler:

The book is to play zone vs Kyler because it helps contain his running ability and he struggles to read defenses.xc_hide_links_from_guests_guests_error_hide_media

Don't get me wrong - I had plenty of problems with play calling/offensive design. My agreement was more to his point about where Kyler stands in the QB hierarchy - he's just not going to be an MVP level guy, and he's much more Kirk Cousins than Josh Allen. Sad but true.BRUH Dortch had eight (8) targets and MHJ had 3. James Conner had more targets than MHJ and Petzing hates giving targets to running backs.
Justin Jefferson was targeted six times by Sam Darnold in a game when the Vikes only had to throw the ball 24 times. That's a 25% target share!
There's something fundamentally wrong with an offense where Greg Dortch is getting a higher target share than Justin Jefferson.
While I get what you are saying, an OC can only do so much. It comes down to the QB knowing he has to get certain players involved.I can live with Murray not seeing MHJ based on the way the play flowed and then broke down for his reaction. What I can not live with is Petzjng not calling specific MHJ targets throughout the game. I don’t give a rats ass if MHJ was “clouded”. Figure it out, if not he will be “clouded” every game and never provide any sort of impact offensively. He was drafted #4 for a reason, day one WR 1. It’s time Petzjng and Murray figure that out. Bubble wrap comes off, get to know each other period is over. No more BS.
I wasn't really replying to that video. I said that Kyler is in the Lawrence/Cousins/Tua tier of QBs on the game thread yesterday (or somewhere). He is 14th in passer rating and DVOA today against a defense that projects as fairly mid (the DVOA folks have them projected as 11th in the NFL).Don't get me wrong - I had plenty of problems with play calling/offensive design.

I wasn't expecting much from a pass rush aspect. However I thought they would be more effective at stopping the run.
There's a massive amount of cope around this.
20 out of 32 starting QB's in the league see MHJ on the 2nd read, take two steps to their right to relieve the pressure from the edge, and find Marv downfield. It's an average NFL throw.
If any other QB in the league did this we would all be laughing at them.
On top of all that, I think coming off a wide open Dortch for a 1st down was poor too. Top 10 QB's are changing their arm angle and finding him.
Agree the OC can call the play to MHJ, but the QB can really do what he wants when the ball is snapped. I hope this week they make significant strides on fixing this.While I get what you are saying, an OC can only do so much. It comes down to the QB knowing he has to get certain players involved.
