Mr. WEO Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 7 minutes ago, NewEra said: Cool story. Thanks for sharing. Context of the convo man…..not sure what you’re getting at here. BB didn’t throw because he didn’t trust his QB to throw. I don’t blame him. Yes, it was a great decision…..and? He probably didn't think any QB could throw that well in such weather. He knows his QB isn't Josh Allen. His plan was to run as long as he had a lead (which turned out to be the entire game) and let the Bills spin their wheels trying to pass their way back (50% completion for only 145 yards, only 3 points after the 1st Q). Big armed QB in a passing game plan in that weather was a poor decision. McD should not have trusted Josh to pass them to victory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't that his job? His coaching decision was the winning one. Exactly. Whether BB trusted his QB to throw or not, didn’t matter. He didn’t need his QB to throw. We couldn’t stop the run and lost the game. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diggs drops a td he catches 9 out of 10 times...pats didnt win by just running..Bills lost the game by lack of execution and coaching decisions late 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since1981 Posted December 23, 2021 Share Posted December 23, 2021 Bills adjusted too late vs BB. 3Q to 4Q they finally adjusted and let it rip. Players and coaches need to adapt 1H to situational football and conditions!! 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills out played them in the second half. Glass half empty vs half filled view of the game. NE had 69 yards on three second half drives vs 173 by the Bills.

If we had done that, would have potentially forced BB into passing mode, which the Pats wouldn’t have preferred to do in that wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No knock on Diggs here. We were gifted the victory three times in the fourth quarter and simply didn't execute. The Patriots did not run all over us. They simply always ran. I believe Sunday will be a reckoning as the (very angry) Bills reestablish their AFC East superiority. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players and coaches need to adapt 1H to situational football and conditions!! Players and coaches need to adjust after drives, not quarters. Belichick has been doing this since birth. Our dumbass coaches take forever to react. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After the Bills TD in the 1st Q, Josh would drop back 25 more times, resulting in: punt, punt, punt, FG, over on downs (missed FG), over on downs.
