It was an interesting decision. In the past he goes for it. I’m not sure why he made that decision. He’s actually one of the most aggressive head coaches in the NFL on 4th down.
I have to apologize to Gabe Davis. I said he ran a lazy route on the 3rd INT but watching back the Bills ran the exact same play but with Knox in the Davis role. Allen again doesn’t take the quick throw to Kincaid. Takes a sack. But Knox runs the route the exact same way as Davis. So this is designed.
They ran this a lot vs the Jets. Kincaid ran the high another time, same as Davis. Knox was low. Allen hit Knox.
No it doesn’t. They were in the wrong alignment.
Yes teams get caught on a blitz and give up big plays, but this was a different situation where they lined up wrong. The blitz made it worse.
Just had to get this off my chest because I’m just now listening to some postgame comments.
McDermott said they were misaligned on the big 83 yard run.
McDermott is never shy about using timeouts, we all know this. It’s kind of a running joke around here. But when he sees his defense outmatched due to alignment he doesn’t call timeout?
This is the type of coaching that loses games. 😡
