    they played not to lose...and with slow LBs that was always going to be a problem

    They definitely ran out of gas big time...

    I'll go with both of these reasons 

     

    I think part of it was the desperation on the lions part

     

    Also I think the lions were way too in love with trying to run the ball on buffalo early when they should have just attacked deep all game

    I mean where do you get 15seconds

    No time out if rams move at a decent pace they will be lined up by 40 seconds left

     

    We will say they score on the next play - 5 seconds additional with the running clock - we are now down to 35 seconds

     

    We kick the ball out of bounds and the rams run three offensive plays - 12 seconds off the clock. Down to 23 seconds left

     

    Punt takes an average of 7 seconds down to 15 seconds

    ...but you don't like to see those kind of coaching mistakes. Not for a serious contender. Less discussed was our not fielding the punt but not putting an extra rusher to block the kick. 

     

    Codger may have just made a mistake there, but needed to field it. 

    The mistake was even having someone back there, needed to go after the punter for a block

     

    The sky high punt was always going to result in no return

    Here's the thing that no one is talking about..

     

    Accept or decline? You can make an argument either way.

     

    But the most idiotic thing?

     

    You accept the penalty and then play a PREVENT defence which allows them to get the yards back and chew more clock up.

     

    If you accept it, you HAVE to be aggressive on defence and try to force a punt, not play prevent

    In a game where time is becoming valuable you also allow the rams to burn another 40 seconds off the clock either way

    Even if you are 100% sure the QB will score? Bills must have thought so. And if you believe it its the most efficient time wise.

    I mean if I know I'm gonna score obviously I'm gonna do it

     

    But for the sake of what I am assuming you're asking, not on first or second down. It's too risky when you have downs to play with that will likely take off less than 10 seconds total 

     

    I also doubt QB sneak was the play call, guessing they gave Allen an option to change/take a chance if he felt it

    And that's the point.  It will take eons of time to unpile the sneak.  A poster somewhere said 10 seconds, but that's wishful thinking.  20 seconds minimum, so the real mistake was calling the sneak in the first place.

    The call was astronomically bad

     

    If you wanted it in Allen's hands, put him in shot gun and let him see if he has a lane or a player open

    It wouldn’t take 35 seconds off the clock. Rams would probably be flagged for unsportsmanlike. 

    Either way, you HAVE to preserve the timeout. Otherwise it all comes down to the onside, which it did, and we lost of course and never touched the ball again.

     

    im not saying it was high probability we win even if they call it exactly right. But to call it wrong is strikingly egregious. 

    It would have taken close to 35 seconds

     

    The issue is the play call, the time out is such a hit debate because the bills needed to conserve the time outs 

     

    You never run a play up the middle on a sneak if you're trying to save time

    Huh? You can’t hurry up and get set when everyone is basically at the line of scrimmage already?

    In this end of game situation zero chance guys are lined up and ready

     

    The defense isn't gonna be very cooperative with getting off the linemen

     

    Go back watch the end of the first half against the giants last season.....it's exactly what the bills did to tyrod
