Nanker Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 Thanks for the memories @Bob in STL let’s not forget Meggit’s run on 3rd and 19 on the Jints opening 2nd half drive that Talley didn’t wrap him up short, which would have forced a punt. Instead they drove for a score taking something like 13.5 minutes off the clock. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motorin' Posted March 23, 2020 Share Posted March 23, 2020 1 hour ago, Bob in STL said: All we needed to do win the first SB was to hand the ball the Thurman. They played a 3-2 defense with extra DB's in a zone to take away deep balls and the crossing routes. We ran all over them but it was just too late … our offensive coaches did not call a good game at all. It was easy to run out of the K-gun and we could have forced the Giants go back to their 3-4 which would of then opened up the passing lanes. We gave up 20 points. Our offense was never on the field and our defense was tired and worn. That was a contributor to all the missed tackles in the 3rd and 4th quarter. Blaming Jeff Wright is revisionist history and incorrect. We played 90% of the game exactly they way they wanted us to. We had the better team but Parcells and Bellichek completely outcoached our staff. That is why we lost. I don't disagree that the main reason we lost Super Bowl 25 was due to being out coached, for the precise reasons you mentioned. But I'm still stating a fact, the glaring weakness on the Bills defense during the Super Bowl years was our 270lbs NT. That's why the Giants, Redskins and Cowboys could run the ball down our throats. Their Olines had clear size advantages and we didn't have a space eating run stuffer on D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still easiest to blame Norwood. Kick the ball 4 feet to the left and nobody's talking about the Parcells/Belichick genius game plan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnbillsbacker Posted March 24, 2020 Share Posted March 24, 2020 The more I read about the trade the more I like it. It seemed like a hefty price at first. When you consider the draft capital it would have taken to go from 22 to a spot where one of the tier one guys would be it makes the price seem a lot better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about these? Run the ball one more time on the last drive instead of passing it and Norwood makes the shorter FG. Recover a fumble in the end zone and it's a TD instead of a safety, and we don't even need the FG. There were plenty of other mistakes, any one of which could shoulder the blame on its own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
