This is why we pass so much.

Remember, about 40% of our passes against the Bills were just designed check downs/screens.

The bills also know they have the worst Run D in the league, so they were obviously paying a lot of attention to it. We knew they were focused on the run and also were going to double cover smitty, so we were gonna give it to our Backs in the flat until the Bills figured out how to stop that.

Some of you need to get over yourselves if you think Fox is always trying to stick it to you. "I'll show those little creeps Delhomme is good." Really?? I know it is hard to believe with the likes of Delhomme and previously Foster on the field, but all Fox is trying to do is win football games.

I agree. I doubt Fox is keeping Jake to prove the fans wrong. Even Richardson would know that before the fans does & fired him right on the spot now than later if Fox doesn't care about winning as some claim here.

By "proving fans wrong" Fox is making another statement.....That he was right to give that extension to Jake in the off season. I think that is what he is really trying to do - justify spending that money. As soon as Fox benches Delhomme, he is admitting giving that extension was a mistake.

Do you really believe that Jeff calls the Plays. Have you seen Miami play lately????? Seems Dan has found NEW LIFE and Jeff is running the same offence that DAN had to run when he was here. I think FOX is trying to CONTROL too much and is unwilling to change. His biggest asset is his biggest liability. He is too Loyal.

Jake didnt throw a early pick in the atlanta game. He threw one INT in the red zone, and it came with around 4 minutes to go in the game.

But one could argue the question, "how much of it is Dan Henning as oppose to Sparano?"

great find rodeo.

I think it might be this. Gamblers and some investors have a bad behavior of sticking to a losing propostition instead of feeling good about walking away from a loss or even a win.

There is a rush in the BETTING aspect more so than the actual gain.

I will have to find this article that breaks down the psychology of this but I think it relates to sports.

Amen; why would any coach at any level abandon the run if it is working especially if the passing game has been struggling; it drives me insane!!!

my mistake. i just did a ctrl+f on the box score for interceptions. it was Matt Ryan who threw one early in that game.
