Wayne Cubed Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 (edited) I felt like today, of all days, was not the day to go for FGs against the Chiefs. I found the entire offensive game plan a bit odd but would love to get others thoughts. Edited January 25, 2021 by Wayne Cubed 3 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
texasjute Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 The eight points left on the table would have made a huge difference in the fourth quarter. More importantly, I think calls to go for it would have made a big difference in the energy and approach of the team. You gotta play to win at this level. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Turk Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I thought the gameplans on both sides of the ball needed to be lit on fire and burned. They sucked. Bills OLine looked like trash again. Bills DLine looked like trash rushing the passer. Bills coverage was atrocious. No chip on Kelce on the line giving him a free release...no jam on Hill when doubling him. Bills played poorly, coached poorly and got beaten soundly. 7 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the entire offensive game plan a bit odd but would love to get others thoughts. We were trying to be balanced on offense and keep the ball. Sadly we get beat up in the red zone and didn't get TDs when we needed. Plus missed plays like Singletary's drop killed momentum etc. Toss in the defense gave up big plays that flipped the field. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the game, do you actually feel they would have scored either time. Based on how they looked the only difference would have been instead of losing by 14, they'd have lost by 20. I understand the argument, but tonight the way we played, nothing was being gained by going for a TD other than lose by more. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichVP Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 I thought today was the day to do the same run heavy power look we did early in the year, granted it was only for one or two games. Moss out or not. It seemed like we let the Chiefs dictate the play too much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted January 25, 2021 Author Share Posted January 25, 2021 Don't get me wrong, I'm so happy about what the Bills did this season. Saying that... it just felt like a really bad game plan. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hebert19 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Brown. Not healthy. Will need surgery. Cole. Not healthy. Will need surgery. Gabe not healthy. Who knows. Combine that will loss of moss and its tough to keep up with KC. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the entire offensive game plan a bit odd but would love to get others thoughts. Daboll had a really odd postseason. Questionable play calls and game plans throughout the 3 games. No killer instinct this game. That was the difference in the game. Kc was able to get whatever they wanted through the air and the ground and the bills kept having to settle for 3s. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Need to go for the TDs before the half and early in the 3rd. Bills and coaching need to understand what the refs are giving them as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stills and Freeman would have been better than Davis/Brown & Singletary is pretty much useless at this point... The gameplans were awful. Daboll went into a shell (Josh did audible quite a bit, so how much is him vs Dabs idk). The defensive game plan was awful, no point playing a soft zone to keep Hill and Kelce in front of you and still let them torch you - who else were we worried about. We did nothing to take them away and we made zero adjustments to even attempt it...Mahomes had all day to throw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It felt like such a soft game plan and we played down to the Chiefs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Thing is, you gotta burn the ships sometimes. Once we were down 21-9 the strategy should have been to only kick or punt in the most extreme circumstances. If they did that and lost by 40 I still would have respected it. I think McDermott will remember the lesson. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
