In any case you don't allow them to catch the game winning td in the final seconds. I would have pushed him out of there when I saw the ball coming to him and probably got away with it. Penalty or not that would be the right move. Allowing a catch was not an option.
The throw did seem to catch everybody off guard i still can't believe it...it would be hard to place the ball there from 10 yards out in a clean pocket and he does that lol ridiculous

TBH I’m not persuaded yet that Poyer didn’t interfere with Tre’s efforts
Hopkins has height on him though no is good enough and strong enough to bring his hands together over Tre
Yep I think poyer was trying to get in just as the ball got there to disrupt everybody but it was more friendly fire than anything

Not me, he should have been moved off his spot. There should have been contact and conflict to establish position. You would have to pull someone down or extend your arms pushing them to get a penalty in that situation.
Yea it does seem like we play a little on the safe side in general with trying to avoid penalties which is pretty ironic because we have no problem committing penalties 🤣 theyre probably not calling a PI on that play anyway

Their point differential and DVOA have them right up there with the Chiefs and Steelers who are the two best teams in the AFC, and probably the NFL overall.
Personally I need to still see a little more but it's a safe bet that these metrics will continue to climb over the next 3 weeks as they get to 9-3 setting up a huge showdown with the Chiefs.
Gotta see a game where Tua has to carry the team before we can start throwing the E word around. Idk if evidence supports they will keep climbing...most rookie qbs have the most success in their first few starts and defenses adjust. They're also scoring defensive and special teams touchdowns at a ridiculous rate.

In that situation you push and shove for position and you prevent that catch at any and all costs. A penalty there would have given them just one more play and how often do you see penalties on a hail Mary scrum. Bills were soft and didn't fight Hopkins nearly enough. Like I said you prevent that catch at any cost.
Can't argue with the push and shove cuz theyre likely getting away with it but I do think if a PI was called we would all be losing our minds talking about how awful of a penalty it was and that everyone should be fired etc. 🤣
Just now, Simon said:That sort of strikes me as a bad time to experiment with a dubious strategy that has an infinitesimal chance of success.
It sure would be talked about forever though haha

I hate them with a passion, but the Pats and Belichik are a championship organization. If Newton gives them good QB play and doesn’t turn it over, they will be difficult to beat. Bills are not disciplined and sound enough. Too many stupid penalties and bonehead plays.
We get enough penalties called on us that aren't actually penalties to be in any position to recover from actual penalties 🤣

Not saying you...but I hate when fans act like that...hating cause another player gets hype or gets overly hype..like its the media's job to sell stars. IMO
"Like Jackson eat" he is no where as bad as fans act.
Can't argue with that...people also probably predicted lamar wouldn't be good because he can't throw so theyre rooting for that to be proven...kind of like the thing we hate that other fans do to us regarding josh allen 🤣

The playoffs are not a given here. That’s the rub with this Dolphin thing. Everyone thinks we are being “sky is falling babies” A team with 10 wins is probably going to miss the playoffs in the AFC. The Dolphins are going to be 9-3 and I’m not sure the Bills are now. Today’s loss was out of conference and for some reason there is a movement of people acting as if those losses aren’t as important. They still count as “1” loss. It doesn’t matter that it’s to an NFC team. That Hail Mary could end up costing us the playoffs which would be ***** inexcusable and unforgivable.
I think that movement is saying its less important for a division race because we have a game against Miami left anyway so if we won today and lost to Miami we are as f'ed as if we lost today and lost to Miami 🤣 we could be a game behind Miami going into week 17 and still be in control. If were a game ahead of them and lose though you've got to start thinking about all the tiebreaker scenarios since we both could be sitting at a 4-2 division record. its a much bigger deal for a wildcard race but theres a third wildcard this year too keep in mind

Don't understand the Jackson hate from NFL fans everywhere. He doesn't seem like a bad QB at all when he as to throw...
If Allen could transform himself into a actual QB. I do not see why Jackson could...
I think the hate was sort of created by the glowing praise he received last year...every player has flaws and makes mistakes but to hear announcers and analysts talk about mahomes and Jackson like they are some kind of divine beings got pretty old 🤣

I hate to say it but I thought that if the Pats won this game they would go on a run even though their upcoming schedule isn't necessarily easy.
Either way they will have a major say in deciding the division winner with late season games against the Dolphins and Bills back to back.
I dont think the pats are as bad as people on here have been making it sound...on paper maybe but theres been quite a few years where we've had the more talented roster and where did that get us 🤣 to put on my tin foil hat for a second you've gotta think the powers that be set it up so that the bills dolphins week 17 game is for the division right? Lol

I mean I don’t see why not, I can’t find any NFL rules that are against lifting up your player for defending or catching a jump ball. If someone knows the answer why NFL teams don’t try it, please let me know.Yea id love to see someone try it and then dean Blandino will have to furiously search through a rulebook to verify its not against the rules 🤣 this is a wild guess but a lot of these hail mary winners are on tips and deflections so I think theyre trying to maximize the amount of receivers they have on the field

Just now, PatsFanNH said:
Miami if we beat them the last game of the year and we are tied we win the tie breaker because Pats would have swept them. With the Bills I have no idea how that would break down. I am not counting on that happening so I will enjoy a few wins in a row..
Haha right that was thr scenario I was lookin into...sad you'll have to root against us though especially with the way everyone is talking up miami 🤣

Pats got a break w/ this weather.
Hate to see them stick around. Obviously still a long shot for them, but man, would their fans be impossible if they pulled the division out this year. I'd have to quit the interntet.
I dont see two many realistic scenarios where they could do that id have to check on the tiebreakers though. If it was just us or Miami theyd have a chance but its both. If we win the Miami game I think the pats are in trouble but not mathematically done obviously. It would take a miracle for one of us and Miami not getting to 10-6

A loss for the Ravens might be best for us. Got to start thinking about fall backs Incase the division slips away
I was just thinking that....rooting for a pats win is something I never thought I'd do. Granted there's an extra wildcard now but I sure hope it doesn't come to that

Just now, IronMaidenBills said:
You don’t need 3 people, NFL players are strong enough for 1 man lifts. Especially if you have Beasley out there.Is there any kind of protection for the lifter when the receivers hands touch the ball if this was done in the nfl...I can't imagine them allowing this for player safety reasons but you never know...we all learned you can horsecollar qbs in the pocket this year 🤣

Just now, Shaw66 said:
No, I'm not.
But the Cardinal clearly are a good football team. When the Bills started their final drive, I said to my wife that the Bills are good, because the three and out they forced to give Allen one more chance was the same kind of gutsy play we've seen from McDermott's teams for three years now. The Bills are good, and they're getting better. Most important, they have a big-time quarterback.
The final play ripped my heart out. But I'm optimistic because the team is good.
I might be too optimistic but I think if mitch morse plays that game we win comfortably

Crazy wins you games when all others are afraid. Just like nobody ever attempts line rugby jumps during hailmarys which is mind boggling.I dont know enough about rugby to refute this one but using three of your receivers to lift up one dude in a position in the end zone where he doesn't really have a way to adjust his positioning to catch a 60 yard pass while your qb is running for his life is the best use of resources haha im sure one of these nfl coaches would be crazy enough to try it if it would work
1 minute ago, IronMaidenBills said:
I mean I do agree with you more pressure would work in most hailmary type plays. But as a QB, we want nothing more than a chance to win in these kind of situations. A lot of QBs probably couldn’t do it, but I trust a hungry Allen more than I trust a 4 man rush.I have absolutely no doubt allen wouldve loved to be out there on that play...that is for sure 😁

It honestly doesn’t matter at that point. The QB is going to chuck it into the end zone whether in 10 seconds or 5 seconds. If you aren’t going to bring the house, then allow the QB who is athletic as can be a chance to win for you on defense.
It’s a jump ball situation. It’s basically basketball. All you need is height and jumping skills which Allen has.The qb couldve been taken out before the receivers even got near the end zone though...with the gift of hindsight on our side here I think more pressure was the way to go. Thats what was so crazy about that throw...they flushed Murray out and he threw an absolute dime in the perfect spot where only Hopkins had a realistic shot at it. Murray and Hopkins could go out there after the game and try to recreate that play 100 times and they'd never do it again lol
-
Just now, Simon said:
But you just don't understand.
The QB wants to do it so bad that he'll automatically be better at it than an NFL caliber DB. 🙄
Haha I mean some of the stuff I've seen Josh allen do that seems impossible makes that almost a valid argument 🤣 its not the craziest post I've seen today lol

Coaching was fine. Your $10m per year defensive end can’t dive on the ground and let Murray get off a hail Mary throwing across his body and your $17m per year CB has to knock the ball down and not let a 6’1” WR with a 36 inch vertical dunk on him.
I feel like poyer couldve not played the ball and just blasted Hopkins when he caught it too...looks like he was trying to do that but only ended up taking out tre lol

You wouldn’t understand. There is nothing to lose by pulling a D lineman and putting the QB in the end zone to win the game defensively. Almost every QB alive wants that opportunity during hailmarys.You're losing a rusher though to put a quarterback in coverage.

Regarding Morse, my guess is they decided to be extra cautious given his concussion history which makes sense with the bye and two extra weeks for him to rest before the next game.
Winters is definitely terrible in every aspect of the game.
Yea it seems like we know we didn't need that win and theres more important games to come which takes some of the sting out of it for me...the offensive line which at times looks like the strength of this team was getting absolutely embarrassed in the second half

Outside of Allen being possibly hurt on the play, there is absolutely nothing to lose by allowing your athletic star QB a chance to save the team he lead for a game winning drive. You pull out a D lineman and leave Allen in the end zone. It gives him a chance to play hero ball. If you ever played QB you would understand.Haha that reminds me of The Waterboy 'last game of the season cant hold anything back now' quote...I think our only chance the way that play worked out was sending more guys on the blitz though...I still can't get over how perfect that pass was. Granted we wouldn't have known that was going to happen when the play was called

Right? It completely sucks that we lost. My body instantly drained of energy when it happened.
That said, we have a good team and a good coach. Some people are just all or nothing. It’s so crazy, bro!
The game day thread was hilarious when we went down 3 you should take a read through that if you want to see crazy haha idk maybe its just me but I am in the mindset that I expect Josh to go down the field for the go ahead score now and that is a silver lining here
1 minute ago, High Football IQ said:This team isn't a SB contender especially with this defense and one dimensional offense.
And if this team can't figure out how to run the football it soon it will make Allen and this offense even easier to defend in the coming weeks and that was a big part of the problem today quite frankly.
This is true...we are holding some important players out though who I assume will be back after the bye. Did mitch morse take any snaps today I dont think I saw him out there...Brian winters was the worst player playing professional football in the United States today lol
a few thoughts about the cardinals game, in no particular order

Yea I didn't hate the decision making on the second pick hes just gotta miss further out in front of Davis and incomplete at worst...first pick I have no idea what even happened which is not a good sign 🤣
Yea you can do that with most qbs on any given week though...Tua had one literally go straight through a defenders hands today
