Billsfan1972

As another poster stated..... The Bills are the only team in the league that knows how to stop Sammy, and they're damn good at it. Yes a win, but the Bills are the better team, at home and the game still came down to the last 2 minutes. 4 Targets, 3 completions (and one called back that was actually thrown over the middle). That is not enough. Was at the game and Sammy always lined up the same, outside and only a few times in the slot. They need to move him around or try and hide him. Again let's look at the Odell 11 targets, Julio 17, Brown 11...... He asked for 10 targets and the last 6 quarters 5!!!!!

No I pointed out the Ten game that could have gone the other way and how though the Bills dominated the Jets, they let them back in the game too.......

Yes the Bills have learned nothing. What is interesting/bothersome is that only one game were they outclassed and that was Cincy. The rest is the same old, same old pick a reason why they lost.

Conversely easy wins vs. Miami X 2 & Indy..... Tight wins vs. NYJ & Tenn Bad loss vs. Cin (was at that game and disgusted). But...... Two games we had the ball in the last two minutes and could have tied NE. Ball in last 2 mins vs. Jax. NYG a game for the taking and a missed tackle in the fourth...... & KC again the ball and a chance to tie. This is the sign of a team that just doesn't know how to win. The Offensive play calling is just terrible and the hurry-up/2 min Offense non-existent. Add to that a D that just doesn't make consistent big plays and takes penalties. I could go on....

It get's old. Sad that I'm over 50 and reading all this. Too many mistakes by too many people. Coaching, the defense, offence, use of challenges, timeouts, penalties, special teams, iffy calls..... Take your pick.

There is no need for the ref to do the review. It should be a central location and seen in HD on large monitors. Really very simple.

Said the exact same thing. It was not moving, and the bills needed two good plays called in the huddle as they wasted the first down on a draw. But expecting good play calling down the stretch is a joke. Remember both NE games, the NYG and the Jax games all of which were plagued by bad play calling in the 4th.

Yet he knew what to do......

All teams face challenges. Yes we are Bills fans and see only these errors. Point is they screwed up two simple ones.

The difference between being aware, smart and not. Ben completes a long pass down the sidelines to Wheaton and it is very close. Ref calls it in bounds. Pitt is running up to get the play off so it can't be challenged and Seattle deciding whether to challenge. They challenge as the ball is snapped. Whether Carroll got the call in time or not, it was a snap judgement. Pitt on the other hand didn't want to take the chance and were trying to run a play. Call is overturned. The Maclin pass is the same thing. You throw the flag, I saw it as did everyone watching the replay. Diving 40 yard completions often hit the ground. In the first half Watkins catches a third down pass, which is a bang bang play and Buffalo huddles allowing Reid to challenge. Easily could have been overturned and Rex allowed them time to challenge the play. On the Hogan play it was now third down. Challenge the play (only one time out anyway and game is over if you give up the ball). Worst case is that you lose but have discussed third & fourth down with Tyrod. Last week vs NE and third & 6" from mid-field. What does Brady do everytime? Lines them up in no huddle and sneaks for an easy first down. Bills run a sweep, lose yards and kick.

It's a 40 yard completion that looked 50/50 at best when caught. The first thing your thinking is whether it is a catch or not. You have the official's attention and the attention flag out. WGR is claiming the first CBS replay was with 15 seconds on the play clock and it was snapped with 11. You have to be ready.

It wasn't that the Chiefs rushed to get a lay called and off following the Maclin catch. Lots of time to know a flag needed to be thrown. Heck the official wasn't even in position to make that call.

How about a bunch formation or lining Watkins in the slot to get him the ball over the middle. 6 catches and all along the sidelines. And you wonder why it was easy to adjust the second half? At least it looked like Tyrod was looking to him the second half.

And the refs made the right call and Carroll did not fool around and challenged it......

The Maclin play was obvious immediately as was the Hogan catch. What was classic was Watkins made that challenged catch on the sideline and of course they allowed plenty of time for Reid to challenge. That was a 50/50 call. Manning & Elway would have run the next play to ensure no time for a challenge.

They were easy calls to challenge. Automatic reversals and the Bills didn't even bother. Asleep @ the switch???? In any case the call should be made in a central location on 100" HD TV's. Going underneath the hood and protecting their brethren is just plain stupid. It is again a no brainer.....

Zero adjustments and again no crossing patterns or throws over the middle or down the seam.... Why can every team do it but the Bills?

They had challenges and blew it. Bad calls, but easy challenges!!!!

How can you not throw two challenges that would have both been won? KC makes adjustments and wins the game First 3 drives and the defense plays plays lights out and then can't do a thing Watkins is unstoppable then KC makes some adjustments and Buffalo does nothing. Announcers saying to do something to change the look and absolutely nothing As usual 9 penalties The Defense just is not good and allowed too many big plays The game turned when Rex didn't throw challenge on the Maclin pass This has happened three straight years vs. KC. All games could/should have won, all losses No pressure or hits on Alex Smith (except the Hughes late hit) Terrible play calling after the second Watkins TD And again very little over the middle..... But KC completed passes down the middle.....

Throw it to Watkins pls..... OBJ 16 targets today!!!!

Boy targeting to Sammy makes no sense whatsoever.....

Rex is too stuck in the stone age when it comes to the NFL, which is based on offense. Everyone was gaga when TT threw 12 times (8 to SW) and we ran roughshod over the Dolphins. That is an anomaly in today's NFL, but Rex wishes every week is like that and thus vs. the Jets 7 NE when it was not that (and most other games this year) there are issues. In three quarters vs. Philly today Megatron already has 14 targets and Golden Tate 7 catches (in 8 targets). This should be the norm where the #1 receiver is targeted a approximately of 35% of the time.

Much of this comes down to coaching and here again the Bills are lacking. Seen it over and over that they are slow n getting plays in and when they are at the LOS they are not creative or assessing the D. I do look @ Watkins and you can see that TT is not going to call a play involving Watkins and that he is nothing more then a decoy. Can say all you want that TT isn't Ryan or Manning (Eli), but the Deandre Hopkins example is 100% bang on that he needs touches. No targets the first half (3 points) is unacceptable.

He caught every pass in the Miami game and it seemed they finally got it...... Then the next two games are a joke. As for the Schmidt hit I was sure it was a 4th & less then 5, but what do I know?

Anyone have a gif or shot of the play as they didn't show a replay and seemed obviously he was hit. This was the first drive of the game and would have resulted in as said a first down at the 30 as opposed to NE getting the ball @ the 35 (subsequently they got a FG).
