Stillers-Bills
Post Game Thoughts� by Steel
Cello
--- 3 or 4 plays clearly illustrated the major differences between Ben and Tommy.� Mobility of course, but also Tommy threw a few more lemons per quarter/game than Ben has been throwing, and in addition to the INT for a TD, there were 2 other passes that could have ended in the same result.� I will give Tommy a bit of a pass for being out so long, but I was reminded of his ongoing propensity for the untimely INT mixed in with some good play.�� By the way, did anyone else see Maddox put in hands up to complain that he was blocked in the back after he tried to run down his INT for a TD�nice attempt to soften the blow!
--- Someone
please tell El to put both hands on the ball before he gets hit�other than that
had has a good game, especially a nice leaping grab on 3rd down in the 1st
half.
--- Scott
had some nice plays, but showed some definite rust�tough call on whether to
start him or put him in the nickel if DeShea is back in 2 weeks�.
--- Willie
Parker had some easy runs, and nice really good ones also�same with Haynes when
he was in.� Duce looked a little better
then a few weeks ago if not fully back to 100%.�
--- Jeff
Reed is in the ultra-zone�a few more games please.
--- The
Bill�s best drive of the day came in the 2nd qtr when Willis running down our
throat on several plays and then a 5 yarder for the TD.� The next Bill�s drive, they go 5 wide with
nobody in the backfield on first down?�
Bledsoe gets sacked and the Bills start a nice run of 3-and-outs. Also,
they wait until the final drive of the game to throw a really long pass play
(which they completed) while this is probably the weakest part of the Stillers�
defense.� I thought it was a really poor
effort by Malarkey.���
--- I guess
Bledsoe will never get that �QB clock� that is so important, especially when
you are as much of a statue as he is.�
Anyhow, how about showing some emotion to try and motivate your
teammates?!� The Bills had just put a
great winning streak together, their entire season is on the line, and this guy
looked and acted like he was playing a scrimmage game.� (I watched the game with a Bills fan and he
agreed)�� I saw no leadership by him or
anyone else on their offense. Was Belichick ever right�
--- What a
difference between the Stillers in Week 17 and the sad excuse that was the
Eagles� Week 16 and 17.� I think Cowher
played it right, sitting players who were hurt, but playing everyone else at
least for a little bit.�� The Eagles had
a good opportunity for McNabb to get some reps in with his �other� WRs, and
they decided to let him play for one drive the past 2 weeks.� They threw a lot more this week, but McNabb
didn�t even play.� Yes, he could get
hurt, but he�s pretty mobile and strong and I think worth the risk considering
their Super Bowl hopes will most likely depend on Pinkston, Mitchell, etc.
--- Another
long, steady, clock-killing run drive in the 2nd half, this time late in the
4th qtr.� Let�s hope this can be
duplicated when it really counts.
--- Who are
you rooting for?� Denver or NY
Jets?� I say Denver as they are about
equal with the Jets, but if they win they knock out the Colts, and I think the
Stillers match up better with San Diego, not that we�d be likely to see either
one of them if we reach the Championship Game.
--- The
first AFC team ever to go 15-1, with 14 wins in a row.� I think we can afford one small moment to
say�.. Wow, what a great year!!!�
Congrats, Stillers!
