1st Ammendment NoMas Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Every game, I have those WTF are they thinking moments. Have at it Bills fans and see how many we can list for the 2015 season. I'll start. NE (Week 11) 3rd and inches near midfield late in the game. WTF!!! Why are we running a sweep with the running back getting the ball three yards in the backfield. TT the supposed running QB can't take a snaps and dive/fall forward six inches. WTF!!!

Dr.Sack Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Meanwhile Brady is 91% or better on converting QB sneaks from 2 yards and closer. http://mobile.nytimes.com/2015/02/01/sports/football/a-tom-brady-sneak-is-the-patriots-unstoppable-play.html?referer=&_r=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 This play above all plays so far this year was the most mind-boggling. You're practically falling forward for a first down. Brady does it every time in those situations. It's practically impossible to defend. Easy 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr.Sack Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 great article. thanks Espn Sports Science did a nice analysis of the Brady sneak. Go to 1:13 of this video. How come other QB's teams not do this. Especially an "athelete" like Tyrod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 The more I think of it it's these little execution plays - the simply check down, always gaining positive yards and not shooting yourself in the foot, that add up to make the difference. Take Brady, he's won 4 Super Bowls by 13 points. He's plus 6 points in 6 Super Bowls with a 4-2 record. Now back to Monday Night's game: IF Leodis doesn't fumble (Pats fg -3 pts) and Carpenter kicks a field goal (Bills fg +3 pts), and Mario chips the running back which enables a Corey Graham tackle the Pats settle for a field goal (Pats -4 pts). Those plays in our favor make the score 16-13 Bills. That plus 3 points is the Brady margin in Super Bowls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He'd already made the same dipshlt call about 2 minutes into the game, which naturally led to a 3/out in a game where sustaining offense was the #1 key to winning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WotAGuy Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 (edited) Now back to Monday Night's game: IF Leodis doesn't fumble (Pats fg -3 pts) and Carpenter kicks a field goal (Bills fg +3 pts), and Mario chips the running back which enables a Corey Graham tackle the Pats settle for a field goal (Pats -4 pts). Those plays in our favor make the score 16-13 Bills. That plus 3 points is the Brady margin in Super Bowls.I don't want to be in the lead heading into the last of the 4th Q; Brady will take them down and score every time. I'd rather we have the ball last, going for the win. Like at the end of the first half, we had Brady's number all game to that point, and then we let up on the pressure and they get a TD in 33 seconds. With the missed figgie that's a 10-point swing.

CardinalScotts Posted November 26, 2015 Share Posted November 26, 2015 Espn Sports Science did a nice analysis of the Brady sneak. Go to 1:13 of this video. How come other QB's teams not do this. Especially an "athelete" like Tyrod? because he's small..........but back to punting we got the ball back 1:50 later and scored a td...then got a stop and the ball back again with 1:40 plenty of time we just refuse to throw the ball down the field. Going for it sounds good until you don't make it and at the 10 minute mark it's game over- we had their offense bottled up all day why risk jump starting anything at midfield....pin them back and we will have the ball back in 90 seconds and we did. That is the part some forget - it worked as well as you could have hoped. Even despite no sense of urgency they had what they needed except the scoring drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He needs to be aware of the first down marker and make the play, but there is still no excuse for the third down play call.
