LeGOATski Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 So, the difference-maker was Jones faking? My advice is to err on the side of caution. Count numbers. Make sure you match. It can't be that hard. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wvbillsfan Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 So we (bills) adjusted to it in the previous weeks but for some reason chose not to do it against the pats. Based off 15 years of mind numbing stupidity against the pats I’d say that checks out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uticaclub Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 The Patriots played dump & chase, took an early lead on a mistake by the other team in their zone & dared the other team to score on them. I hate the Devils almost as much as I hate the Patriots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRA3196 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 Results of hiring a ST coach with no experience. Mistakes happen when you are learning how to do your job. Thankfully the team doesn't have as much time as us fans do, to dwell on the past. On to Nashville. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerome007 Posted October 3, 2019 Share Posted October 3, 2019 A dead horse? Move on? This article makes it crystal clear the Bills have had this issue come up twice in the 3 weeks prior to the NE game. Twice. And 3rd time was the charm... in only the 4th week. You guys think it's acceptable? It cost a touchdown and ultimately, the game! Not Brady or whatever, but a blocked punt. Hey, I'm all for giving rookie coaches a chance but this was the 3rd time in 4 weeks! McD and staff are to blame as well. Interesting too that the article mentions that since Bojorquez tried out with the Pats* that they likely knew he wasn't enough good as a passer to take advantage of a guy no one was covering! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This does NOT give me a good feeling that we have fixed our league bottom ST play or even have someone paying enough attention to it. And not to excuse Allen's problems - but at the end of the day, that blocked punt for 6 was the difference in the final score. 10 hours ago, Gugny said: Bad take here, Gugny. This article makes it clear that the Bills showed a ST coverage weakness 3 weeks in a row that the Pats successfully exploited. It shouldn't have happened twice, let alone still have been there for the Pats to exploit with a blocked punt and a pick-6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the context of that game where the Pats had just scored a TD and were leading by 6 points, then exploited a weakness seen on prev. game film to collect 7 more, yes. In the context of any game, if your team puts a weakness on film and you don't fix it, you're not a professional outfit. Harsh but real. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if that was 4th and 5 from the 35+? I'm probably saying take that snap and throw it up to johnson past the sticks... its a what 30 yard throw to the outside with 0 coverage - i can make that throw.

Late in the 4th QTR the Bills only needed 3 to tie the game and not 6. Housch has been very good 50 +. Take the shot and tie the game and hope to win the toss in OT versus a MUST get TD.

Except they never got close enough to try another FG. They had their backup QB and couldn't stop the Pats pass rush and turned the ball over on their last possession. How would that have been different? Not to mention, SH had already missed from 49. And you're assuming NE couldn't respond. And you're assuming they'd win in OT without Allen. All that instead of simply getting one yard to actually take the lead in the Q4?? Sorry....they made the right call and couldn't execute. Sometimes that happens.

That punt was, as the score stands pretty much the game. We allowed the PAts something which is unforgivable for a well coached NFL team, a gimme. Special teams coordinator needs to be held accountable. I think this is borderline a fire-able offense to let this go on week after week. Not genius on the part of the Pats, hard work and common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
