Cripple Creek Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) 1 hour ago, Do The Reich Thing said: I’m pumped we’re 5-1, but it’s clear this team is designed to play up and down to its competition. All of our games will put a few more grey hairs in our heads this year and cause a couple more heart palpitations. I expect the same thing against the Eagles next week. Teams aren't "designed" to play up and down to the competition. There are several things at play, IMO, among them... McDermott plays close to the vest and so do his coaching hires. It's maddening at times, but I guess we should get used to it. You have a young team at its core. Play was inconsistent on both sides today though it's been more glaring with the offense this season. I do have to add that the refs made today's game damn near unwatchable. Do we need to clean things up? Yup. Could some of those handkerchiefs been left in the pocket? Yup.

Blank Stare Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) 14 minutes ago, WhoTom said: It's not about being a "good guy" or playing conservative, it's about sealing the win. He goes down and the offense takes a knee a couple of times - game over. By scoring, we had to kick the ball to Miami. Think worst case scenario: they run the KO back for a TD, try another onside kick, they recover it, and score again. I know it's a remote possibility, but I've seen crazier endings. Yep, I acknowledged that in a later post. I still take the points, but that’s me. Mainly due to if he drops down short of the end zone and we have a fumbled snap or something and they are driving for the win. Definitely remote, but possible. I take the points and make them drive for two scores in a minute left and no timeouts. Bills have invented new ways to lose over the last 20 years. But I definitely get the drop and kneel out the clock too. If that goes well, no question you take the win. Fortunately we got it anyway. My point still stands that this team is too conservative at times, and I think that’s McD’s mentality. Our possession before the last Miami TD is my point. You get a first down there and there isn’t much time for Fitz to do any of what he did. Instead we go three straight runs. Yes, they burned their TOs, but we still could have gotten them to do that with more aggressive play selection or (better yet) won the game with another drive.

Yup, that's the inconsistency. When you see a drive like that you expect more of the same.

There’s no way they would’ve come back from a 10 point deficit. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was horrible to watch, and I remember being pissed on the bus ride home because the backers were cheering and laughing and I was pissed we let the Bucs keep it a game.

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 My theory of what happens in these types of games is that the lineman (O-line and Front 7), who rely on emotion more than other positions, end up not quite as fired up. They may not even realize it and think they are as pumped as playing the Patriots , but instead that spark is 90-95% of what it would be against a challenging opponent. And, it makes a big difference to the rest of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
