  1. I was always in the house of "run the ball" but clearly we could throw all day on these guys. Moreover the problem was never offense or moving the ball.
  2. We lost by 2. Defense still would have sucked but it's not inconceivable that we could have still won this game.
  3. We had over 15 sacks from our DT's last year. We have (unless I missed someone) 4 total sacks from out DT's this year.
  4. In other news ............. what the hell happened to Oliver and his 9 plus sacks from last year? Did he forget how to tackle a QB? Where the hell have our DT's been? Is it a different scheme up front? What is going on?
  5. I'd be more than happy to place a friendly wager that he defends that decision in any and all press conferences after the game.
  6. Nope. I was actaully expecting McD to call it before the 2 minute warning for some dumb reason thinking the 2 minute warning would be another time out. I was excited when the two minute warning came and went because I thought he understood we needed all three time outs to get the ball back. Guess he fooled me.
  7. One minute of clock (while we still had all 3 timeouts) was well worth hopefully holding them out of FG range. Then we let them back in FG range and then we gave up 4th and 5 and eventually the TD. All said and done we hold them to a FG at all and we possibly win the game. Defense got McVay'd.
  8. The defense adjusted and looked better the second half. I'm not saying good I'm saying better. The adjustments can't come in the second half. We need to start making these defensive adjustments much much earlier. I think we have been masters at playing zone for a long long time but there are games where I think some man coverage would go a long way to making us less predictable.
  9. We don't give up that blocked punt it's possible the Rams score 37 and lose. Hell even if we don't use that damn time out on the goal line I think we still have a chance. It is a shame. Hopefully our defense learned something from this.
  10. For the love of god it would have been 4th and 6 ............ they eventually went for it on 4th and 5. It made exactly a 1 yard difference accepting or declining the penalty. The Rams were always going to go for it. We had to stop them and we didn't. 3rd & 7 at BUF 37 (4:47 - 4th) (Shotgun) M.Stafford scrambles left end pushed ob at BUF 36 for 1 yard (C.Lewis). ** Injury Update: BUF-Ta.Johnson has returned to the game. PENALTY on LA-S.Avila, Offensive Holding, 9 yards, enforced at BUF 37 - No Play. 4th & 5 at BUF 35 (3:53 - 4th) (Shotgun) M.Stafford pass short middle to T.Atwell to BUF 24 for 11 yards (T.Rapp).
  11. McDermott certainly looked surprised and upset when they switched to him on the sidelines.
  12. If someone was to tell me McDermott makes at least one clock management blunder in every close game I wouldn't have a thing to say about it.
  13. Not my favorite answer but you are right. Just don't call the time out.
  14. It didn't matter they were going for it on 4th. Not to mention I'm pretty sure they picked up a couple yards and it would have been 4th and 5 exactly the same down and distance they went for it on.
  15. It wasn't fourth and 7. They picked up a couple yards but either way they were going for it on 4th not kicking a FG and they picked up the fourth. They butchered the game when they ran it on first and goal and burnt the timeout they needed to stop the Rams with enough time to do anything.
  16. They had already blown it by running on first and goal.
  17. How does an entire team of NFL coaches not understand to not run the ball on the goal line there.
  18. I'm not even sure I blame the defensive players. I think we got out schemed today.
  19. Well boys ............. offense looks really good. That's about where the story ends.
  20. Less than a yard from the LOS. Pick plays are called when they are 3 plus yards downfield.
  21. They were going for it on 4th either way.
  22. How big was that punt block for a TD now. Defense needs to come up with something and quick.
  23. RT was dancing well before the snap on that one.
  24. Brady is literally dying in the both. Pretty sure he will not be able to speak by the end of the game.
  25. Or didn't have a blocked punt for a score ............... and somewhere after this point in the game forced a punt.
