Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Leslie Frazier: Talked about how hard Tre White has worked after practice to become a better ball-hawk and how he texted him to let him know. Said he's still a young player and working hard to improve, so he will 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 Brian Daboll: Daboll is usually "not too much" but this was really a broken record interview absent much informational content. He was asked about Singletary's fumbles and said Watt did a good job and we went right back to him to let him know we have confidence in him, that's important for a young guy Strangely, no one asked him about Allen's abilities to throw long passes 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

london_bills Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Daboll presser is interesting. Think I get from that mcdermott was happy to run on 3rd down to take the three points for 10-10. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember in the NE game when Josh was knocked out and Barkley came in? We got stalled out on the NWE 2 yd line. McDermott went for it and the pass to Zay Jones was incomplete. If we take the points there, it's 16-13 and we have the possibility to tie it with a 2nd FG at the end of the game. Of course, the "Live Lion" choice is play calling and choice such that you don't get stalled on the NWE 2. What did you think about all the talk of players executing? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah when watching the game I actually thought to take the 3 points there. It just felt like a big 3 points - mcdermott does talk about every moment being different and I felt better at 10-10. Because our defence had their number I think. I highlight this really as Daboll gets criticism for run plays there but he has to go with what mcd wants in those situations. I think when playing a better team/QB there's an argument to going for a TD. The new england one is I interesting as I would of wanted a TD there but I take your point. I didn't notice talk of players executing as such. There was a question and I wasn't sure if daboll was saying one of the runs called was actually a pass (that Allen changed it) , I think the reporter mentioned tre white though. I dont think Daboll would mention this however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it seemed like it was all intentional and done to win the game by 3 or 7 points basically. And if that was the plan, it worked perfectly.

Watching that I can understand why Josh Allen picked Jordan Phillips as the teammate "most like Santa Claus". He just seems like a really sweet, gentle, mellow guy - until the lights go on and the whistle blows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, this season, he's seemed much more willing to take chances on fourth downs during games to try and grab momentum. I will never be a fan of sitting on 1 score leads to allow an opponent opportunity to capture momentum but can live with it knowing that McDermott's willing to press his luck in the right situation. Dick Jauron never would. FG was the right call at PGH. Build a small momentum instead of squandering it. That's critical in tight slugfest games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you imagine Dick Jauron going for it on that 4th and 6 at around the 35 yard line on our first TD drive? McDermott is, if you step back and look at it, a LOT more aggressive than people give him credit for. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially given there were two earlier losses where having an extra 3 points on the board would have arguably eased end-game strategy. In one we missed a FG in another we went for it and didn't make it (but for goodness sakes should have) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's very much a work in progress anticipating open receivers and manipulating the defense but we've run no huddle this year and they've allowed him to audible. I do believe as Allen and the offense develop McDermott will be less conservative and trust them more to make plays. One of McDermott's most under-appreciated facets is that despite his process and control he very much has an appreciation that emotions play a big role in the game and allows, even encourages the players to express them intelligently. Just another reason why I think McDermott will eventually be even less conservative. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDermott is, if you step back and look at it, a LOT more aggressive than people give him credit for. Hes aggressive in the right situations. Taking the 3 was the right call there(even though i was yelling at the tv to go for the endzone! haha). Tie it up and go play D. Then can get more aggressive on next drive to take the lead. Another turn over there would have been brutal. We have to play the same this week against NE. Don't give them the ball and put them in good situations. Make Brady work a long field against our top Defense. Go Bills! Edited December 17, 2019 by badassgixxer05 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
