Billsfan1972 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) Yep the refs were atrocious, but the game was there for the taking Fourth & under 5 and NE runs into the kicker and no flag or replay. Was in a bar and again scratching my head. That would have been a first down. No PI on Hogan pass. Text book simple call. How many times the Bills have been called and I am upset with the DB/LB and concede what an obvious call it is. TT ignoring Watkins again. This is plain stupid. The article looking at Deandre Hopkins and his 1 targets/game with worse QB's tells you all you need to know How come NE get's receivers over the middle and moving and Buffalo just don't? Watkins should be catching passes on the run Defense played well, but again a missed tackle (last minute of first half) and one long gain negates much of it. Wasted timeouts..... Dumb dumb dumb..... Two minute offense pathetic. Bills last play or not advanced the ball 35 yards in 2 minutes. One sack, but no sense of urgency. Coaching & TT unprepared. 3rd & 6" from midfield. Run up as Brady does and sneak it. Terrible 3rd down play calling throughout. First play of the game we complete a 9 yarder and still a three and out..... Off to KC who the Bills have manhandled the last two years and still managed to lose....... Edited November 25, 2015 by Billsfan1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Off to KC who the Bills have manhandled the last two years and still managed to lose....... IMO if Watkins doesn't start getting the ball a lot, he will publicly ask to be traded after the season is over. The Bills are not only being stupid not using him, they are costing him money when he becomes a free agent which is the reason he will go public and force them to trade him. I wouldn't blame him either. The Bills are idiots with how they've ignored Watkins in game plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a QB's league and receivers are hugely important. I like TT, but if he is having trouble reading coverages, the coaching is lousy and you don't tell him to throw to Watkins, just exacerbates the point. Again here are the top receivers and targets. Top 25 have at least 8/game and 5 receptions (if played all 10 games)... http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/receiving/sort/receivingTargets Edited November 25, 2015 by Billsfan1972 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's kind of small. Edited November 25, 2015 by quinnearlysghost88 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalos#1Fan Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 The deep ball has worked extremely well this season, Watkins is an animal with amazing hands. Did you guys see that one handed catch?! If we throw it to him more, it will help the run game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max997 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 (edited) 10.) this seems to happen multiple times per game, offense gets 7-8-9 yards on first down but cant get the first this to me comes down to just bad and obvious play calling by Roman worst part of that play by Hogan was he actually had the first but went backwards, just get the first Edited November 25, 2015 by Max997 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billsfan1972 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 The running into the kicker seemed quite obvious yet they never showed a replay (as said I was in a bar). The interference on Hogan was confirmed by all the announcers as was the last play of the game (by rules officials everywhere). The fact that Rex didn't seem to care at all the last two minutes with the stoppages or hurrying the offense shows his lack of interest on that side of the ball. At least you saw Sean Payton laying into Rob Ryan about NO's defense, but Rex just focuses on the D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Gun Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 You nailed it, especially the missed roughing the kicker call. Yep, they ran into Schmidts plant foot while he was in the air and made him fall. Should have been 10 + a first down Bills. No flag, no replay, refs blow!

Third and an inch and they run a sweep, unsuccessfully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan1972 Posted November 25, 2015 Author Share Posted November 25, 2015 Seriously? That's why the penalty wasn't called? Your logic makes no sense. Yes, because there was no way to miss it and if the flag was thrown even 5 yards resulted in a first down. Often have seen a flag thrown and then the officials discuss it and if it is over 5 yards for a first down they'll call the 5 yard penalty as opposed to Personal Foul 15 yards.....

This was the first drive of the game and would have resulted in as said a first down at the 30 as opposed to NE getting the ball @ the 35 (subsequently they got a FG).

When you have 2nd & 1, IMO you either go up the gut to try & get the 1st down or you play action & try & make a 10-20 yd play. What did we do? We ran a sweep & lost yards. When you are on your own 29, it would probably be wise to run twice if necessary. We are out thinking ourselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah John Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 I'm not completely sure Schmidt was hit on that play. It looked like the Patriot player slid underneath while Schmidt was in the air, and to avoid the Patriot, Schmidt fell forward. It's possible that there was contact between the two of them, but I couldn't really tell one way or the other. The official was right there watching, not that that would have been enough to prove anything for that crew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official was right there watching, not that that would have been enough to prove anything for that crew. I just watched it a few times. It was on the second drive. Very late in first quarter. There is no way the Bills blocked the Pats guy into Schmidt, the pats man took a good angle, beat our guy and then angled right at the punter. And to me it's almost physically impossible for Schmidt to fall like he did without being hit at all. He kind of goes sideways when he falls. And he wasn't allowed to land. Looked like a blatant penalty but I couldn't see the actual contact from that angle. Turico just says "No flag." and they never go back to it.

Nihilarian Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 As far as Sammy Watkins is concerned I wonder if it would be wise for the Bills to hire a passing game coordinator, and let Roman setup the run game. The Dallas Cowboys has a similar situation a few years ago with their coaching staff. I have no idea why Watkins isn't even getting the targets he publicly asked for a few weeks ago, I mean if you throw the ball 35 times a game why not get the most explosive play maker on both teams the freaking ball ten times a game? Chris Hogan the leading receiver... really? Charles Clay the leading receiver against the Jets. Why the Fu*k did the Bills give up three draft picks, and two first rounders for a decoy? This would be like obtaining LeSean McCoy, and paying him 6 mill per then giving Dan Herron all the carries The coaches really expect to win with Chris Hogan getting more targets then Watkins?
