Yeah he was being hauled down by Evans and still managed to get his head around and put out an arm to make a play. Really great effort by Wallace.

That unofficial requirement is applied to some teams and not to others. As we just witnessed.

As soon as Evans saw the pass was going to be short he pulled down Wallace with one arm and reached with the other. You and the refs fell for it unfortunately.

If Evans hasn't tackled him, he would have been able to make a play for the interception. Seems like some people want defensive backs to just run backwards the whole play.

Actually, they were good enough. Two touchdown passes to Diggs where he was interfered with and no calls. Then a drive extending DPI in overtime where Evans tackles Wallace. The Bills sucked in the first half but they still played well enough to win and were screwed.

If you were still skeptical about these games being fixed, well here's your sign.

"Just give it to them."

Not sure what you mean by that. If Diggs wasn't pulled backwards then he catches that and goes in for an easy touchdown.

Well a long touchdown would have been really helpful towards getting us back in it, right? Because that's what would have happened there without the DPI.

Do you want him to do that every play? Because that's how often he's under pressure.

No, a bare minimum play there is Gronk scores a touchdown. The next worse thing is Poyer gets flagged for DPI. He's a safety covering one of the best TE's of all time. It's a bad matchup and he played it as well as anyone could ask.

Beautiful play by Poyer. Everyone always talks about getting your head around (even though that's not even an actual rule) and he was able to do it and not give the refs an excuse to throw the flag.

Fournette's longest run of the season. Brady's longest run of the season. We make runners look really good.

He might have had a slight outside leverage on Brown but Brown had him blocked up nicely. No way he catches Moss if he goes outside. Morse did completely miss his block but there was a linebacker waiting in that gap even if that DL hadn't made the tackle. I'm usually in the camp that the offensive line is a bigger problem, but on this particular play Moss could have had a touchdown or at least gotten close. Singletary or Breida probably bounce that one outside.

He definitely stiff armed the defender. You can watch the helmet move sideways and he gets pushed away from the tackle. Just because Josh was moving backwards doesn't make it not a stiff arm. It was good coverage and a good breakup by Phillips but you have to expect your TE who is twice his size to muscle his way to that catch.

Okay pump the brakes. Brady, the best QB of all time, never won a Super Bowl without a top 5 defense. He has had the best offensive lines a quarterback could ask for. And he's always had a solid running game to keep defenses honest. He didn't take a pay cut all those years out of the goodness of his heart. He knew that better players around him would help him win. Rodgers and Brees are first ballot HOF QBs that have both had multiple losing seasons and have only won one super bowl a piece in almost 20 years of play. Regardless of the QB, it takes an entire team to win consistently. Josh threw an absolute dime to Diggs in the endzone that hit him right in the arm and was dropped. He threw multiple great passes to Knox that were dropped including one in the endzone. Allen missed the last throw which probably sticks out in your mind more than all his great throws, but he played more than well enough to win this game. Edit: And P.S. Allen did all that in a game in which the conditions were so bad that the opposing team didn't even trust their QB to attempt more than 3 passes and while he was under duress almost every play behind a terrible offensive line.

Yes, the wind greatly affected the game. But we lost because of failures in coaching and execution. The wind is just an excuse. There was no wind against the Steelers or Jags or Colts and we lost because of the same reasons we lost this one.

He made the first one. It barely went in because he adjusted for the wind and the wind just died at that moment. I'm sure he adjusted for the wind on the second one too, but that time the wind blew the ball further horizontally than the goal posts are wide. Nothing you can do about that.

I agree that they should have put 10 in the box from the beginning, but if you need to use 10 in the box to keep an average running back from putting up 10 yards per carry then you've probably already lost the coaching battle.

Can we give Knox a pass? He had hand surgery like three weeks ago. The false start was stupid but he was a stud for us in the first half of the season. Daboll should be using him exclusively as a decoy but I doubt he takes any real world situations into account when he's drawing up his "game plans."

How does a dome help us stop the run?

McDermott needs to trim some fat. Starting with Bobby Johnson and Brian Daboll. Then stuff that fat right into our offensive line and let Antonio Williams go to work.

Dude, the ball was blown completely sideways. Bass is an awesome kicker. He's the last guy we should be worried about

Josh threw that ball like he didn't even want to be out there anymore. That was an easy TD across the middle.

I don't think I've ever before seen a QB draw the defense Offside for a free play and then the officials don't call it. And yet, it's happened to us three times this year.
