whatdrought Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 We're a team in the middle of a rebuild, with our man ball touchers being Rookies playing against HOF coach, HOF QB, on a Superbowl contender and we're playing relatively close given our mistakes. Chill. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo03 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Offensive play calling is what is killing us. We run on 1st down against stacked fronts with a bad running game that we have had all year 2nd and 9, run again against that same stacked front Say what you want about this defense, I admit they are being gashed but they are also the reason why we are still in this game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 Just now, CincyBillsFan said: The reason that wasn't a bad throw is that on that play the QB's task is to get the ball up in the air right over the target WR and Allen did just that. On most Sunday's you'll see that pass completed at a very high rate. My only issue with the throw is that it wasn't the right decision on 4th & 3. On 3rd & 3 that's a GREAT throw! Right over the target receiver? Seriously? It wasn't at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing Bong Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 9 minutes ago, HappyDays said: Is it? Hit the hands. Should have been a 1st down at the goal line. It was hitting the wrong side of Gilmore's back if Foster doesn't have to fully extend to get hands on the ball. Maybe could have caught it. Be nice to. But I wouldn't expect any receiver to consistently do that on a 4th down. that's not even close to hitting a guy in the hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 (edited) I feel like a lotta people here haven’t watched any baseball games where outfielders lose the ball in the sun. You literally can’t see at all, and when it happens, the catch never happens. Has anyone making this (vacuous) criticism ever played outfield? Foster was looking right into the sun on that play. It was a great throw but still a no-chance play. Edited December 23, 2018 by dave mcbride 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a throw that needed exactly that. Doesn't mean it's not a bad throw. I'll take receivers that consistently catch easy passes, then we can work on tough catches. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calidiehard Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Yes. It was behind and inside. It didn't "hit his hands" he got some hand on it while off balance. Bad throw. He led it inside so the receiver could adjust to it. Foster didn't adjust properly. Other teams run the same play all the time and the DB is in bad position taking away the deep route. Should have come up with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen chose to go to the deep route, that doesn't mean there weren't other routes that would have got the first down. It looked like Shady was running a route coming across the field. Shady looked like he was going through the motions. I did not see any other option on that side of the field. I think the back-shoulder pass was the call all along.

I don't think that particular pass was easy. But yeah I totally agree. Been harping on the WR corp since last year. Needs to be better and Foster's not a #1. Probably why he shouldn't be targeted for tough grabs on 4th downs against top corners is all I'm saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a great throw but still a no-chance play. I agree and don't blame Foster for not making that catch. But that doesn't change the fact that it was a beautifully thrown deep pass and should have gone for an 80 yard TD. My point is that anyone saying Allen is playing poorly is ignoring that pass which if completed would have changed this game. Now to be clear Allen is not playing well but he's not playing bad either. There just are not enough weapons on this offense to take advantage of what the Pats are conceding on defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
