Is this a great country or what?

This is really the model the Bills should follow on defense. Try to improve the pass rush and add speed on the back end. If you can get a rush with four and cover with 7, including 5 or 6 DBs, they you are going to be tough to pass against, even for the Chiefs. Take your lumps vs the run and try to outscore running teams.

He did it twice as I remember. The first time the defense got a sack and everyone was lauding his genius. The second time, the QB escaped and threw the Hail Mary with only a couple of DBs in the end zone and I was crapping my pants. I don’t remember it happening again after that.

I am dubious that you can stop this type of offense by playing predominantly zone, no matter how fast your DBs are or how good your pass rush is.

Jimmy Johnson.

I would have to go look at the replay, but the ref on the sidelines was clearly signaling for the clock to stop. Maybe they overruled him. But then why did they wait to restart the clock? Strange. Edit: I looked at the replay and I think you nailed it. Fumbled the ball out of bounds. Clock is stopped until the refs spot the ball and signal ready for play, which is what happened. Nice catch.

I noticed this too. But they also didn’t run off 10 seconds on the previous play after they ruled the Colts WR down even though they gave the Bills their timeout back. So the Colts got a net add of 5 seconds at the end, which was worth an extra play.

Plus he used that same TO earlier to force a replay of the fumble that should have resulted in winning them game. His use of timeouts at the end there was great.

Me too. I'm in a daze. lol.

Coverage and return teams were sketchy but both kicker and punter played lights out today.

They were definitely on their heels in terms of play calling.

You can question going for the TD on 4th down in retrospect because they failed, but the play was there and should have been a TD if executed properly so it's hard to criticize the decision.

What is Kelvin Sheppard up to?

😂 Musical chairs.

Schefter thinks that Marrone will stay on. 😂 https://www.si.com/nfl/jaguars/news/report-some-think-doug-marrone-could-be-given-a-chance-to-stick-on

It’s the McDermott defensive timeout taken to the next level. Not only does he get to see your personnel and formation, but by waiting until the last second he gets to see the play as well before the refs can blow it dead. McDermott should start doing this as well.

Right you are! Obviously not as memorized as they would have hoped.

Matt Darby writes children’s books. Too obscure? If you watched the Bills in the late 80s /early 90s you will have memorized this factoid from all the times it was mentioned 😊

Last night the announcers projected that this had a 0.1% chance of happening. After reading this, that may be optimistic.

Why didn't he replace McDermott with Levy?

You gotta love the “M-V-P” chant in the background.

Yes. Lower back injury.
