MasterStrategist Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 all we can do now is learn from our mistakes and move forward. Too many missed opportunities, but keeping in mind we are built to complete going forward, we need to make smart offseason signings, young guys need to keep progressing, and keep drafting well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blank Stare Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 4 minutes ago, Nihilarian said: Remember McD telling the team the to "play fearless"...wha happened? Hypocrite. Guarantee he told Daboll to take his foot off the gas midway through the third quarter up 16. When is he going to learn you can’t just turn it on and off. There’s a difference between playing/staying aggressive and being dumb. It’s just embarrassing to neuter your team and hope they can flip the switch back on.

Great play by D Watson at the end. Exciting game, great season to build from, hope they come back fired up next season. Cleveland 1989. Younger fans need to google Ronnie Harmon. We will be back. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Allen 24/46 52% another Sub 60% game with a loss. If Allen hits Duke Williams maybe McDermott fries a 59 yard field goal. We had the ball at the Houston 42 that’s 59 yards. All we needed was to run the ball. I put this loss on McDermott who collapsed down the stretch after a 9-3 start we end up 10-7. Really disappointing but it’s hard to win with such an erratic QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) I am Having a hard time believing in crunch time we were running plays with both gore and Dimarco on the field and Dimarco running 30 yards down the sideline. Lots of missed plays, whiffed blocks, missed tackles.bad decisions. Completely outplayed second half. 3rd and 18 and we give up 19..off a play clock that ran to zero.

oldmanfan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Future is bright but should have won this game. Defense can’t give up 19 points in a row and can’t give up a 3rd and 18. Duke could have made the one end zone catch, Knox throws a block in OT and we get a chip shot to win. Josh made a couple poor decisions. And if Hughes doesn’t get his typical unsportsmanlike we maybe get a TD instead of a FG. What this game showed me is Allen is the guy. Brought them back to tie and had them there to win in OT without the Ford illegal block that wasn’t. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Do The Reich Thing Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Just now, BillsFanSD said: We probably win the game if the players execute that play competently. It was a perfectly-designed play called at the perfect time, that should have been a game-winner. I agree wholeheartedly with your point, but it doesn’t take away the other 20+ minutes the offense was embarrassing. Oline, Allen, and play calling.

schoolhouserock Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 At the beginning of the 2nd half... I understand that the ultimate ruling was “in the spirit of the game”, but by the rules of the game, was that not a fumble-TD? That’s something that needs to be addressed by the NFL and officials - it was so awkward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MPT Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 5 minutes ago, WMDman said: Ford lost us this game with that late block No, the refs cost us this game with that penalty. And the overturned kickoff TD. And the non-call delay of game on the Texans' 3rd & 18 play. And the litany of non-calls on their offensive line, and the litany of non-calls on their WRs' offensive PI, and the offsetting personal foul when their guy tackled our guy way after the play was over on White's forced fumble. These things were not our players' faults. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4merper4mer Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 1 minute ago, Joe in Winslow said: Allen is the ONLY reason that game went to OT. Do better. I'd add the refs deciding to not play by the rules because the guy didn't mean it. Chris Weber didn't mean to call a time out either. I'd also add the missed block on one guy by three guys on that sweep. But you have a point. I think he'll get better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beast Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Just now, DuckyBoys said: More disappointed in the coaches Last offensive drive they acted like the clock was an issue Run the football its OT no clock to fight Some questionable decisions on defense none worse than sitting in a soft zone and allowing a 3rd and 18 to get picked up on a simple checkdown Lot of those drives in the red zone we literally wasted plays No sense of we need to get a td McDermott was comfortable playing for fgs I don’t disagree. Allen, the coaches and the defense absolutely folding. Those are the story lines. How do you only score 12 points after the first TD in over 60 minutes against a terrible defense? Think about that.

There's still time. This is bunk. His WR's let him down constantly and he has to overcome the putrid play calling. Unrealistic to expect that from a 23 year old. Did you see John Brown hop up when he needed to get his feet down at the 10 yard line? Would've been first and goal, instead is a FG. So many examples. Dimarco is a WR in overtime for 7 plays?

Turk71 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 A game they should have won. The offense disappears whenever they have the lead. Coaching not to lose is a loser's mentality. 3rd and 18 you send the house, not fall back in a soft zone. The Gore run before the end of the half sticks out as all time stupid.

DuckyBoys Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 3 minutes ago, CincyBillsFan said: I am so frustrated at this loss. But starting in OT here are the plays that lost us the game: * On the Allen sweep, we had THREE guys out in front and NOT ONE OF THEM could get a hit on #41 who gave Allen a vicious helmet to helmet tackle. If just one of these guys had got that block Allen gains at least 10 yards and we're on our way to the winning FG. That was an inexcusable miss by the 3 guys lead blocking on that play. * On 3rd & 18 in OT an elite defense does not allow a check down pass to gain the first down. It's one thing if Watson made a great throw and the WR made a great catch past the sticks but come on. That play was an example of the game killing conservatism of coach McD. He has to get past that next year or coaching is the problem. On that play the D was playing to conservative and the result was a lost playoff game. * Later in the Texans drive with a 2nd & 9 and two guys hit Watson YOU MUST MAKE THE TACKLE. Why didn't Milano wrap him up? It would been 3rd & 17. The FACT is that for as well as the D played in the first two and a half quarters they played terrible in the 2nd half of the 3rd quarter, the 4th quarter and OT. Remember had the D stopped JUST ONE of the 2 pt conversions our last FG would have been the WINNING FG. You nailed it three glaring examples of epic fails Morse whiffed on the block to spring Allen on the sweep Coach doesnt know how to go for the throat on offense or defense Frankly I'm sick of that style of football Milano and Edmunds for all the praise we heap on them are not great tacklers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Josh made a lot of great plays and a few dumb ones. He learns from his mistakes so we are headed in the right direction, need to get RT, WRs, backup RB and TE, a Friggin LB that can tackle and another elite CB.
