bobs0108 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 This is fine. It gives Josh ability to grow and learn from his mistakes. I want a win today but it’s ok if they don’t win. Probably better to lose in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 2 minutes ago, Elite Poster said: You never throw short in that situation. That was setting up your rookie to fail. Yep... especially with the safety playing up that far up in the middle of the field - something they have seen with that Bills alignment and route that made them feel they could jump it. I also don't like those out routes if there is cover 2 zone - just an automatic jump the route and a short trip to TD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm mad McD called timeout before the dolphins first TD on 3rd down. The Bills were immediately in the backfield but for some reason he needed a TO there? After a momentum changing penalty too. He stops and let’s their O get a breather. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBD there seems to to be a ton of people on this board under the assumption the Bills are so good that they should be blowing teams out week after week. Weird. No I just expect basic common sense. That series was a result of very poor game management, no way around that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do we know that they didn't set up deep shots it just wasn't there. What is the run/pass ratio on first down today. That's all you need to look at.

letsgoteam Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 I dont mind that we tried to throw the ball at the end of the second qtr. Where it all went wrong is the fact the Bills played so conservative in the second qtr. I think it is a domino theory, if the Bills dont play so conservative the entire second qtr, I doubt there is a pick 6, I doubt its 14-14. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are supposed to be an NFL punter and you manage a 32 yard and 35 yard punt on back to back opportunities. Pathetic. Get that guy out of here. The punter is only here cause Schmidt 'schmidt the bed' and the rookie they took from the Pat's is on IR, he isnt the future or more then a fill in right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 5 yard pass to the middle of the field is not aggressive, it is stupid.

Dr.Sack Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Good now we have a reason to tune in for the second half. Can Allen recover from his rookie blunder & can our OL get anything going for the running game? I don’t know if I’m confident in either. But I know Kyle Williams wants the W.

Watkins90 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 1 minute ago, DuckyBoys said: Bad decision by Josh but a very questionable play call at best. I'd rather they throw it deep and its just a punt. They haven't even tried throwing down field and with no run game Miami will sit on everything short. Daboll needs to do better Play calling entire 2nd quarter was predictable slow paced and terrible Jones was streaking down the sideline deep. There were other routes he could have looked at.

njbuff Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 The Dolphins were heading for the bus. I blame this conservative play calling crap as to why this game is tied.

Livinginthepast Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 1 minute ago, HappyDays said: The decision to throw is not the issue. It's where we threw that makes no sense. The best possible result was a 6 yard gain and the clock keeps running with 40 seconds to go and one timeout. All risk and zero reward. If we threw a pick downfield it wouldn't matter. Just a weird series all around. Exactly, throw it deep down the field and keep the Dbs honest instead a short pass into double coverage. If the coaches make that idiotic decision in a game that doesn't matter what will they do when they are in a high stress playoff game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 How is it hard to realize that it can be stupid to run, and also stupid to call that specific pass play?

Beast Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 People whine and cry about coaching. Guess what?

His job right now is to evaluate what he has and give Allen meaningful reps. He's playing like this game means something in terms of win/loss which it does not. Sitting on a 14 pt lead at the end of the first quarter just illustrates it even more how clueless the staff is on what is important Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cutting Schmidt was the right call, his last game every punt was 3 seconds hang time or less. They should have signed Shane Lechler, but probably didn't want to pay him the vet minimum for a punter with 20 years of service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
