Cards Bills 2012 Game Thread

Go Cards!!!

Im nervous about the game. The Bills offense is no joke when it gets going. The D is terrible (usually), but dont put it past them to put up a season high game today.

Worried about our Oline

worried about ball security with our RBs

worried about becoming 1 dimensional passers due to RBs pedigree


I really really want this game. Split our next few and get to the Bye as soon as possible.

Buddy Nix: Buffalo Bills have no excuse for blowouts

Buffalo Bills general manager Buddy Nix is not a happy camper. His defense has allowed a combined 97 points in the past two weeks to the New England Patriots and San Francisco 49ers.

That's 97 points in two weeks.

"What I see is not enough intensity and urgency," Nix said during a conference call, according to the Associated Press. "When you miss tackles, usually it's one of two things: It's talent or lack of effort. And we've seen these guys do it before, so I think they can. But we've got to get that urgency back somehow."

The Bills' defense gave up 1,201 yards combined the last two weeks. That's the most by an NFL team since 1950. These are ludicrous figures, especially for a team that was supposed to have one of the league's better defenses. The Bills spent $127 million to sign their defensive ends: Mario Williams, the top player in free agency, and Mark Anderson. Dave Wannstedt was hired as defensive coordinator.

"There's really no excuse for losing the way we did," Nix said. "It's not just Mario. Mario actually plays better than people give him credit for.

"Not to defend him, he can play better. We expect him to, but so can everybody else. I mean, we all need to play better. ... I don't care who's getting paid what; none of us have earned it the last couple weeks."
Nix's frustrations are understandable. There's no reason the Bills should be the No. 31 defense in the league. The Patriots were held to seven points in the first half in Week 4 and finished with 52. No NFL team should ever give up 45 points in a half.

And it's not just one area. The Bills have been awful against the run and the pass.

Even the Saints think the Bills defense has been a sieve.

Can they wait another week to try to right their ship??

I hope we get to see Bradley on the defense and also Flemming make some plays. The Bills are making this a MUST win game, so I hope the Cardinals play with as much intensity. The cards ARE BETTER than the Bills on paper. Win this game Cards, win it for yourselves

Over and under on sacks against Cards? 6?

 

[PitchShifter]

Byrd active too. I wonder how many running plays we'll see.

 

[Bodha]

Inactives:
Guard Senio Kelemete

Snyder is statistically the worst guard in the NFL, what can it possibly hurt to give Kelemente a try?



In other news, the Falcons just hit a 55 game winning FG. 6-0. How the heck are they pulling these off? jeez

 

[A fan who cares]

Byrd active too. I wonder how many running plays we'll see.

I would be so happy if Byrd made some plays and showed his potential today. I'd be even happier if he surpassed Floyd.

I like Byrd if you can't tell

 

[desertdawg]

Need a nice home showing today, need to step up the intensity and boost the confidence. Please protect the QB and run the ball.

 

[desertdawg]

Come on Defense!!!

 

[desertdawg]

We got the ball!!!

 

[Dayman]

Can't start much better than that!

 

[desertdawg]

D-Wash!!!

 

[Darkside]

JESUS!

Kolb misses King who's WIDE OPEN in the middle of the field. YOU CAN'T MISS GUYS WHO ARE WIDE OPEN CONTINUALLY.

 

[Bodha]

Happy for the FG

But what the heck was that wide open miss to King?



Thats EXACTLY what doomed us vs the Rams. Missed opportunities.
