Aside from that butchered 3rd & 22 play to Waddle, the D held Tua to 140 yards passing. The Bills left 30 pts off the scoreboard with PS players. We held Hill & Waddle to 133 combined yards and 0 tds.
Yeah when 6 starting defensive players are out, you're probably going to lose. Yes we were the better team and left a ton of points off the field, but with losing Micah this team just didn't have it's usual mojo.
I think most Bills fans were doing the same thing with their remotes. So I guess we're all unhinged. I'd rather have a coach with a little passion than a robot clapping on the sidelines.
Maybe McD has a bunch of morons up in the booth telling him to throw the flag (or not). Maybe he needs to hire a smarter set of eyes upstairs. What a novel idea when you're something like 1-26 in challenges. Just sayin if something is wrong, fix it.
0-7 isn't an anomaly or trend. It clearly validates Sean's struggles in close games. 13 seconds was absolutely inexcusable and indefensible. I will always admire McD for his vision in bringing culture and process to Buffalo. But between blown challenges and strategy mishaps, he will never be remarkable in game time decisions. This has haunted him his whole career.
We were losing 4-5 games anyway this season. Injuries, heat and not executing plays killed us. Not going to panic nor do I expect us to have anymore 100° heat index games this season. We'll blow out Miami in December.
Sneak with what? A 3rd string OL. That wasn't going to work either. We made a ton of mistakes today by both coaches & players. The heat and 7 injured starters doesn't help. And I'm sure the news of losing Micah for the season loomed. I just wanted us to survive this game with a 1 pt win. But we came up 5 yards short and 5 seconds too late.
I don't EVER want to see Van Roten step on the field ever again. The early fumble on Josh was because both Dion and Devin whiffed on their block. Spencer was so bad they benched him. Q played decent until that late flag and Saffold was his usual mediocre self. We knew going in our OL was decent but not great. Today confirmed that.
