oldmanfan Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Tough way to lose obviously.  But we got vanilla in both sides of the ball again in the 3rd quarter, and we take 4 penalties on one offensive series, one of which negates an incredible play which also lost us Smoke.  Dumb stuff like that has to stop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do The Reich Thing Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Watching the TD again on replay, Mario Addison is an absolute trash can for diving at Kyler on the last play. If he keeps running after him the game is over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopkins has a 4+ inch higher vertical than white according to combine stats and hes 2 inches taller and tre has 4 inches less wingspan that adds up to a 10 inch difference haha I can't believe I had to actually spend time proving this 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBeaneBandit Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The most glaring thing that concerns me is how for the love of God are the Bills so lousy at running the ball????

Mojo44 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I am as stunned and traumatized as everyone else about the end of that game. It was a one in 1000 play and they happen to pull it off. I really don’t care who was taller than who. It was a great play by Hopkins and a great throw by Murray. I just can’t interpret this ending as indicative of some imminent collapse. That’s what a lot of posters said after they lost to Kansas City and Tennessee and look what happened. I really don’t think this team is a house of cards. I have no worries about their psychesI still like how this season is going.. A beat down by Arizona would’ve been more worrisome along those lines.I still like how this season is going. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njbuff Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 What should be brought up is that this team inexplicably went into the tank after building a 23-9 lead.

BornAgainBillsFan Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 1 hour ago, boco357 said: It will be over looked unnecessary time out on last possession saved them time   I didn't over look it. I was appalled, as I am with almost all of McDermott's timeouts.  It didn't save them time, because it was right after Fitz had stepped out of bounds. What it did was allow a frazzled QB, who had just run for his life and barely got the pass off to Fitz, time to regroup, allowed the Cards coaches more time to organize the hail mary, etc., etc.  Our HC is a LIABILITY on the sidelines on game day. It's time we faced up to that. But more importantly, it's time HE FACED UP TO IT!!  2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
