zow2 Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 The two best quarters to have the wind at your back in Orchard Park are the 2nd and 4th quarters. That's because they are typically the longest Qtrs with two minute warnings and team timeouts. The Bills maneuvered after the coin toss to have the wind for BOTH of them. That is a fantastic job, and I think 8 out of 10 times would have helped win us the game. Most teams when they had to receive the opening kickoff would've chosen the wind at their backs but the Bills didn't. Good to see some smart decision making. But Philly went off with a great running attack today and ball controlled it the 4th quarter. Good on them, but not easy. Belichek never would've allowed Buffalo to have the wind for both 2nd and 4th Qtrs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chill Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Buffalo coaches are so stubborn that the Buffalo weather actually hurts our production. Genius!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WotAGuy Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Fantastic job? They got lucky and won the coin toss. And what would Belichick have done - make the wind change directions? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Every team in the league would have acted similarly with the wind today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get what the OP is saying. Team is keeping good order... Even if it didn't pay off today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 In all fairness to the OP, this IS the only aspect of the game we won today. It sucks, but he's not wrong. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Maybe we can have the stadium clock operator "forget" to set the clock back an hour next Sunday morning. Then he could "remember" to make the reset whenever the Redskins have the ball with the wind at their backs. That would give us a clear field position advantage, because the Redskins would have a full HOUR less time with the wind at their backs. Wouldn't that give us a MUCH greater wind advantage than just having the wind at our backs during the typical 2nd and 4th quarter time-outs and the 2-minute warnings for each half? Wait . . . . What?

WhoTom Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 The Bills won the coin toss and opted to receive. That means the Eagles chose which goal to defend, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The downside to that is when the Eagles receive on the start of the 3rd quarter the seats are only half full and crowd noise is negligible. Its why teams on the road like to defer according to Tasker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 McD didn't burn the clock at the half so thats a win, if it wasn't for the wind we would have had a FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
