You take the ball out of His hands the entire second half and expect him to win it for you after you basically say we dint trust you I have been saying it all year Either give the kid the keys to the car for 4 quarters or not at all. In OT we go empty set and put it all on Allen Texans were willing to run the ball OP you are 100% correct Morse makes a block on that sweep and were on to round 2 of the playoffs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BringBackOrton Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 7 minutes ago, Rubes said: Mostly by the offensive line, but also the TEs. I was just left speechless by how many times offensive players could have blocked someone but didn't, or whiffed so quickly and thoroughly it should be a crime. Not just the times that JJ Watt just walked into the backfield, but other ways as well. A great example was the Josh sweep in overtime...he had three guys in front of him, each of whom had a clear line to the defender, and all three chose not to block the guy. Just ran right by him. If any one of them decides to block the guy, Josh is sprinting down the sidelines. Why nobody wanted to take the guy out is just baffling. Lots of folks are dogging Allen on this one, but to me it had everything to do with the really crappy blocking in the second half. Part of me is convinced the OL let 41 light up Josh on the sweep because he had his head up his ass for the last 10 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 4 minutes ago, Rubes said: Guess I'll just disagree. Allen was under constant pressure from guys who seem to have forgotten how to block. And it wasn't Allen's idea to send DiMarco on a freaking fly pattern. DiMarco was running a clearout. It worked. Brown got wide open coming across the middle. That was where the ball was supposed to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 The OL has had these breakdowns all season. At certain points in the game they start whiffing on blocks and allowing pressure right off the snap. I'm really not sure what you expect of any QB when he doesn't even get time to complete his drop and setup. He had some bonehead moments all on his own and you could see it in his face at the end how bummed he was, probably going over all the plays they missed on.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Allen lost it in the end no doubt. He will learn. But the line crapped all over themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was where the ball was supposed to go. The problem as I see it is that Daboll relies too much on pass plays (like this one) that takes too long to develop. You can do that when you have a strong offensive line that can give their QB the time for that to develop. It should have been clear to him in the second half that the line was seriously struggling to block anyone, and not to rely on slow developing plays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BullBuchanan Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Allen was sitting in a recliner most of the game. The OL was outstanding. No line blocks perfect on every play and no defense allows 0 points. This is just scapegoating Allen losing the game. Watson was sacked 7 times and still won. How did they not lose with OL play like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay free Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 In my humble opinion. Bills do billsy things.....good first half play calling.....horrible second half playcalling.....prevent defense. Never....deep route to FB dimarco....horrible.....no singletary runs or screens ???? Brian daboll and Leslie Frazier are just ok.....josh is young and will have to improve....Jordan poyer is old and slow....star should be gone....we need Jaquan Johnson out there at safety.....good call or on duke over foster to play.

You start there at the snap so you can play the down moving forward, but a couple guys didn't execute; Edmunds was one of them. Yep, the execution on that play was awful Edmund's and milano get a lot of praise on this board but they had some back breaking mistakes today as well. Nobody on d was as bad as poyer today, he was terrible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did they not lose with OL play like that? In the first half, sure. Not in the second half. And the Texans didn't lose because they could convert a 3rd and 18, and by escaping a certain sack. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
