  1. If I had to guess....

    3rd and 2. QB sneak because we were in 4 down territory.  Didn't love the call, but it worked.

    1, 2, 3 and Goal. Gore.  Because Josh Allen fumbled last week.

    4th and Goal, QB sneak because it was less than one yard and Gore got stuffed three straight times.  Loved the call.

    4th and 1. Gore.  Inexplicable after the prior attempts with Gore.  Would have run QB power sweep or Singletary.

     

  2. I re-watched the first quarter of the Dolphins game focusing on Star.  He was double teamed on most running plays.  Though he did not get overwhelmed by the blocks, he failed to shed any of them to help out on tackles.  There were opportunities to do that on a couple of the longer runs. On pass plays, he was single blocked and he failed to penetrate or beat his man.  One pass play he was able to push his blocker back a yard or two.  No sense of urgency in his game.  In summary, he is just not really an "active" player, which the stat sheet confirms.

  3. Kudos for the detailed post, but this does not logically counter the argument that the Bills are 5-1, have not won convincingly, and faced many of the bottom teams.

     

     

    NYJ: Bills +1, rest of NFL per game +15.

    NYG: Bills +14, others +5.

    CIN: Bills +4, others +13

    NEP: Bills -6, others -28

    TEN: Bills +7, others +3

    MIA: Bills +10, others +27

     

    TOTAL: Bills: +30, others: +35.

     

    Summary: There are mitigating circumstances for sure, but other NFL teams are playing the Bills' competition about the same (slightly higher win marging) than the Bills played them. I'm hopeful the wins continue, and i expected playoffs this year, but I would not rank the Bills as a top "power team" based solely on their record.  What you can say is that they competed and beat the teams on their schedule and came out with W's.

    Foster should have been put on IR before the season started.  Duke showed what he can do in the preseason and should have been active since day one of the season.  Plus, we were at risk of losing him.

    That would have made room for Duke or perhaps even Murphy who led our RBs the last two years with 5.9 and 4.8 YPA.

     

  5. It was forward.  Slightly.  Lateral or not that was some boneheaded clock management.

    You are in FG range.  The clock is stopped at 20 seconds.  Price just made a great play to get you a first down.  You have no timeouts.  What do you do?

     

    Run, Spike, Kick.

    Game over.

     

    Even if the Titans don't get a TD, they had time to get a play or two and then kick a long FG.  And we had a poor coverage unit all season long.

  6. Using the Eyeball test, the Patriots* defense is top five.  We are also top five.  Neither defense has done it against good offenses. The Bills have at least done it against a couple average offenses.  Patriots* gave up over 400 yards to the Bills - the only average offense they've faced, and it was on JA's worst day.  Tougher stretch of games coming the Patriots way...

    Those long kicks resulted in touchbacks and were fairly poor net kicks.

     

    61 yards, touchback, net 41.

    33 yards, fair catch at 10

    39 yards, fair catch at 12

    64 yards, net 62

    47 yards, fair catch at 14

    56 yards, touchback, net 36.

     

    His three long kicks (61, 64, 56) averaged net 46.33 despite two touchbacks.  Not too shabby.  Probably his best day.

    You know that’s how all fouls work right?

    I pretty much know everything about this game.  ? I was just answering the question and providing a synopsis about what followed after the foul.  Also, I believe there is still a 5-15 rule where personal fouls are not offset by Offside and such, though I have not seen that apply in a long time.
