It really wasn’t fine. It was poor. There should have been a timeout directly after Diggs first down catch. You don’t want your offense running to the line and running. a play with the wind whipping and the rain pouring. It’s a recipe for disaster.

And that’s why I said that.

Hate the FG call here. Would rather throw it long toward the endzone and try to draw PI than have Bass kick a 50+ yarder in the wind and rain.

Timeouts were grossly mismanaged by McD there. There should have been a timeout right after the Diggs catch.

Allen backed up right into the pressure.

Wish this was a 30 second timeout. We had a rhythm going.

It was still a run. What kind of quasi statistics are you running? lol

McKenzie is good for 3-4 fumbles per year. Bills knew this when they let Roberts walk.

12 runs and 2 passes on that drive? I think I have that right.

11 straight runs.

If we had the Colts o-line, we would be unstoppable.

Beane should have to answer for not addressing the o-line before the trade deadline. I’d much rather have a non-Cody Ford linemen right now than a 2nd round pick in 5 months.

Another angle.

Guess not.

Guess this isn’t pass interference?

Harrison Phillips got suckered so bad. Saw many people defending him this week.

I do too. But to me, it’s #1 or bust. I want that bye week. #2 to #7 is practically all the same.

I didn’t say he’s incapable, I said he’s not as elite in the cold. Most QB’s are not as elite in the cold. In today’s modern day spread offenses, it is advantageous for the defense to get cold/bad weather. Those are the facts.

I know because I have eyeballs. But even if I didn’t, the numbers would tell you as well. Here are Allen’s numbers by month (over his career). September to November: 64%, 93 QB rating, 7.4 ypa December: 58%, 89 QB rating, 6.9 ypa Last year, in 81 degree (not my number, that’s what the splits give us) or higher weather, Allen was 70% for 7 TD’s, 0 INT and a 132 QB rating. In under 40 degree weather, he was 62% for 5 TD’s, 2 INT, and a 94 QB rating. His play is not at as high of a level in the colder months as it is in the warmer months. .

Historic results have absolutely ZERO to do with the current team. What Jim Kelly and Marv Levy did in 1991 has nothing to do with what this team does in 2021. The offense we have right now is not conducive to the snow.

Which may be a negative as the rest of my pulse explains.

with every passing week, I get more and more upset that Beane did not make a move before the deadline to acquire offensive line talent.

It’s really not though. A GM’s job is to evaluate players and determine who will be good/better/best. That’s literally what they’re paid millions of dollars to do. Is it possible to never fail? Of course not. But it shouldn’t be tiresome to expect someone to do their job well.

The difference between a wild card and a division winner is 1 home game. And as many dome proponents point out, our offense isn’t exactly built to play in snow. So i’m not sure losing the home game would even matter (as much as I as a fan would want to be there). To me, it’s #1 seed or bust. #2-#7 is all the same.

Some would say that’s a great reason to question the Basham pick. This is how forums work. People pile on, so instead of having a conversation you have 10 straight posts of people criticizing the same exact thing. But if you had said something positive, like he is in great shape and was fast, you’d be getting likes and positive reactions. Aside from his weight, he really wasn’t a force at all. He played a little over 30% of the snaps and had 1 tackle (for a loss). Rarely saw him around the ball. I think there is a reason why he has been inactive most weeks.
