Clearly that doesn’t happen with 21 and 24 but thought 3 and 4 overall did good job. Feel free to get some pressure on qb. According to some the two S’s were going to be the issue. D gave up 21, this is in the O, injuries, and refs picking and choosing calls. I think they did pretty good job on the backend too with tall task. Been concerned with how this team transitions from 2 standout safeties when age and contracts have to be factored. The youth waiting in the wings seem to be on the right track... and could not help the image with those jersey numbers. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

st pete gogolak Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 A pretty hidden significant play was there punter hitting a 70+ yard freed kick. Crowder didn't anticipate that long a kick and was backing up when he caught it. We barely made it past the 20. Typically, offense usually gets the ball out to around the 40. If that's the case, we end up kicking a winning FG. Reminding me of Super Bowl XXV after the Bruce Smith safety. Giant's punter hit a tremendous free kick and we started at the 20. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K-9 Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 8 minutes ago, Billz4ever said: They may not be trash, but I don't think they are a great team either. 212 yards of offense. That's it. Against a defense decimated by injuries. I think the mistakes by the Bills were a much bigger factor in this game than anything MIami did. Miami didn’t do much go win the game while we did just about everything we could to lose it. Reminds me of the occasional early season losses to Miami back in the glory days. People overreacted to those losses as well. Miami should be concerned that their all world QB and receivers couldn’t do more than a couple plays against a decimated defense. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HalftimeAdjustment Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 We basically managed to lose this game on offense. I think we would have won it if we had a better running game, or if Mitch Morse had played. Late in the game Josh was pressing and maybe fatigued. He missed throws that he just did not miss early in the game. No wonder, with the heat and the not great OL play, he looked tired. The good thing is, very few games will be played in those conditions. And, we still had several chances to win... if we can do just a little better we'll be fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not sure - as @BADOLBILZ and others have pointed out, losing 8 close games in a row is not random. It’s a mentality. McD may lack that killer instinct or just have a poor overall feel for game flow - he takes his foot off the gas at the craziest moments. Not just 13 seconds, this has happened repeatedly. Case in point today, the Bills force a punt at a key moment early in the game and then rather than go for the jugular, they call timeout before the punt, then call two Moss runs for zero yards and get a play in late resulting in a fumble. You KNOW the decision to run up the middle twice was all McD - he probably thought he’d “reward” his defense for getting the stop by buying them some rest with clock-eating nonsense. We saw that crap with Frank Gore in 2017. That was the time to press and instead we gifted the Dolphins a score. McDermott is a fantastic program builder but that may just be his ceiling. It’s the same in business, there are CEOs who specialize in turning around failing companies and they’re almost always parachuted out once the business has stabilized, and replaced with a visionary who can get the company to the next level. If the Bills fall short in ‘22 and ‘23 (meaning anything less than a Lombardi) then it is time to cut bait.
