Motor averaging like 8-9 yds/touch and he’s sitting mostly.

This.
That long ball to Foster was another frustrating long miss, but I really don't care about those passes if he's hitting the other ones.
What about the missed DPI by the refs on that 3rd down pass from Allen? And icing on the cake there was McDermott not throwing the challenge flag.
Allen REALLY needs to work on protecting the football as teams now know he has fumblitis, but as a passer, Allen's been really good.
My problems have been with Daboll and, to a lesser degree, McDermott.
Josh did the exact thing he should have on the no call DPI. He even pointed to the encroached DL while dropping back; thought he had a free play and put up a great pass. Refs (2x) then McD let him down there.

question: when Knox caught the ball on 3rd down he landed on top of the defender, after he reached was he still short of a 1st down? this happened on the drive that ended in turn over on downs.
I didn’t watch replays of this but I thought his shoulders were down On the turf when he was (mostly) on the defender. So I thought he was down short, live.
-
Is this the 6 min drive to tie with 4 3rd down conversions?
-
Is McD interjecting on the O? This wreaks of over conservative O cause of over confidence in D.

Not certain if I’m cherry-picking here, but seems he knows how to get out of the shadow of the Bills’ own end zone and score TDs in the red zone quite well. But, between their own 35 and opponent’s 20 his play calling is quite inept. Maybe JA bails him out scrambling in the first two situations (and on 3rd down) to make him look better than he actually is?
-
How many plays per game are blown up due to bad timing? Seems his plays require perfect timing to be executed properly, and if any obstruction arises the play is dead. Doesn’t he engineer alternate options if the first option is not there? It also seems as though these young players can’t follow his plays. At least twice yesterday JA was looking to throw to a guy who was blocking downfield vs looking for the ball. Not sure if Allen or the receiver is to blame there. So, I think his plays are essentially too complex (to be executed by this squad) and over designed (not able to be executed in the real world). He’s trying too hard to be the smartest guy out there, when he should just be tailoring his plays to his player’s strengths.

Hazy memory but I seem to recall they play well historically blue-on-blue. Maybe it only happened once though.
Packers @ Bills, Dec 2014!!! I was blacked out drunk (hazy) most of the game watching from Northstar Cafe in San Francisco.

Actually, White was probably anticipating a fake field goal. He had outside containment and clearly saw the direct snap to the holder. At that point, he can see the holder with the ball and the kicker moving toward the outside in White's direction. He does exactly what he is supposed to do in stepping forward to keep the runner inside. He then moves in to make the tackle (The view from behind the defense in the All 22 below shows this pretty well).
Because White initially had to step forward to keep the runner inside, he was in a position to have to make the tackle more from the side than the front. This wasn't a case of taking the runner (a punter) head on and getting run over. It also wasn't a case of "attempting to ankle tackle the kicker" as you originally stated, which, by the way, is different than attempting to make a tackle and ending up bringing him down by the lower legs/ankles. But, I suspect you know that.
To describe White as not paying attention, day-dreaming, or making some sort of "worst effort of the game" kind of attempt at a tackle, IMO, is a clear mischaracterization
That is my opinion. I have included the video to support my conclusion, and, so that posters can look at it and make up their own minds
Good video. Shows more space between Tre and the holder than the CBS angle. Makes it more impressive to me.

Your perception is probably colored by your surprise at the fake. Everyone should have been expecting a fake there. It was an 0-5 team with nothing to lose and there is no chance to block a kick in that close. The ONLY play there is to plan and defend against the fake. White played it like it was 4th and goal not fourth and short. Agreed that Phillips play was stupid. It was a very unfocused effort by the defense. Bad situational football much of the game.
I was surprised they were surprised by the fake as well. You’re right they all should have been prepared for that. Fact is Tre made a solo tackle on a play where 8-10 defenders usually crowd the LOS. He saved the game there.

Instead of asking "where's the ball? and grabbing it to tuck it away, I don't think Fitzy plowed him over - I think Phillips was just so full of himself that he got the sack, he had no "ball awareness" at all and rolled over and got up
It was a great sack, followed by one of the least situationally aware moves I've seen from a good player.
Right. I was talking about the rushing TD Fitz had to get to 20 pts. He plowed over Philips there and Philips ran to the sideline and called for a sub cause he was hurt. That’s the play I meant, after he sat on the ball in your pics.

White was the author of one of the worst efforts of the game. His attempt to ankle tackle the kicker on the fake field goal that lead to a first down. I mean......WTF it's the kicker........hit the MOFO up high and knock him on his shell. Tre White has his moments where he loses focus and concentration.............but then he bounced right back and TOTALLY REDEEMED himself with the INT. Great play.
I find this to be disingenuous. White is lined up 3 ft from the end to block the punt from the outside. Instead he stays home and identifies the fake and comes from the end to tackle the holder (too late, yes). In my view he *saved* a TD there and was one of the only players to ID the fake quickly. He subsequently *saved* the game two plays later, and again by forcing the fumble. Three monumental and individual efforts by my count.
Phillips getting plowed over and hurt by Fitz (a QB) after he sat on a forced fumble while celebrating a sack are my nods to poor efforts.

I concur!!!

Kolby Linstenbee. Has he even put pads on yet?

Moulds, Winfield, or T Henry/M Lynch.

I still love Robert Woods. A lot of times I harbor resentment when guys leave, but I still have a ton of love for Woods and I root for him.
He was always a standup guy and hard worker. What other WR with his build is known as a great blocker? He has all the tools, great route runner too. Watkins, big stuff, all those guys that came and went I don’t miss at all ... but Bob Woods, man, he’d be a great vet presence for us now. Wish him the best.

I hope the first half of the Phins game was the ghost of Bills’ Past; and the second half, the ghost of Bills’ Future. No taking the foot off the opponents’ throats, “kick the puppy when it’s down”, etc.

If ever there was a time to throw deep, it was then. I'm mad McD called timeout before the dolphins first TD on 3rd down. The Bills were immediately in the backfield but for some reason he needed a TO there?
After a momentum changing penalty too. He stops and let’s their O get a breather.

Firing in the first half on all cylinders, then castrate the O the second and try to rev them back up with 50 seconds left ... predictable outcome. Idiot HC and OC can’t understand how to maintain momentum.

I say tre is injured and hiding it
something is off
I think you’re right and that it could be a leg issue. I see him biting harder on nice WR cuts and getting out of position more than usual, like he’s worried about getting burned so he overcommits. He seems to be giving larger cushions too. Might explain his lack of ups during contested throws the past couple weeks too. Maybe all his time at the goalie academy is wearing on his ankles???

There are too many moving parts in the sport and too many rules to the game. You can’t change the number of parts (actually you could make it 10 v 10 or 9 v 9), so eliminate more rules. Start with the ones, like PI, where the punishment doesn’t fit the crime. They treat every PI as if it would result in a TD, like a penalty shot in hockey. Just give em 15 yards and make them earn it. If you don’t want to elimate rules, get rid of a ref or two so the chances of catching a penalty in action decreases, resulting in fewer penalties. Addition by subtraction. Removing replay, as mentioned before, would help too. Refs are fallible, so it’s engineered into the game, like strikes/balls in baseball.

As I understand it, every day Belichick ends practice with an end of game situation and practices what to do. Sometimes offense, sometimes defense, different score, different down, different time remaining. At the end of the game the pressure is heightened, and if the players have seen something like it before they're better prepared.
I don't think it's fan speak.
You think Belichick isn't going to be teaching his team how to handle mthat last play better? Of course he is. He isnt going to just forget about it and expect that will never happen again.
If true, it’s an excellent strategy. Being comfortable in those situations make the rest of the game easier to execute mentally.
Hell, teams should only practice end-of-game situations the entire practice!
