Big Turk Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) 8 hours ago, Billz4ever said: What they were giving up on the ground, they might as well have been giving up through the air since the yardage gained was pass like yardage. We knew they were running but the D still couldn't stop it. That is rigid play calling and shows a lack of ability to adapt to what the offense is doing. The play calling tonight was questionable on both sides of the ball and the Bills won because they are simple a much better team than GB, but bad execution and play calling kept this game closer than it should've been. This game should've played out how the Pittsburgh game did the second half. You are trying way too hard. The Bills admitted they didn't like some things they did in the game, I am sure they will clean it up. That said, if a team wants to run themselves out of a game, then the Bills seemed to had no issue with not making them try and change their approach. GB never threatened us in the game.

Different story when the chips were down, right? Poor D coaching decisions cost us the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll take this win every time. Get right against the Jets Bills fans have very short memories! Do they think the Pats rolled everyone 45-3 every week? Nooooo. They won many games when they weren’t firing on all cylinders, even Brady, but the superior talent managed to find Ws. Lots of them! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What happens if the Chiefs play even worse? My goodness watch the season of any Super Bowl winner in the 21st century and you will find that in multiple games they played worse then the Bill's played last night.

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Two observations from last night Re second half: 1) offensive woes in the second half were due to decision making. We could have had 8-yard Singletary dump-offs all game. Instead, we forced too much— which I believe could have been due to trying to stick it to the GB DB’s. 2) I would like to go back and look at the film, but I suspect the Run D issues was a combination of several things: losing at point of attack on line, gap issues, poor tackling, and some soon good hard running by Packers. I believe there are a lot of correctible things there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. We've already played and beaten the best the AFC has to offer pretty much. Agree but playoffs are different 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the INTs it almost seemed like he wanted to run, but hesitated and decided he'd better not and then threw a bad ball. 6 minutes ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: Two observations from last night Re second half: 1) offensive woes in the second half were due to decision making.

I believe there are a lot of correctible things there. It seemed as though the line was in constant pass rush mode even though the formations GB were in still said run. Linemen were taking themselves out of their gap assignments trying to get upfield and that made opening holes easy for the GB line and RBs. Happened repeatedly in the 2nd half. I thought Motor and Cook looked fantastic. We should've been feeding them all night long. Edited October 31, 2022 by Billz4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Low Positive Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Great teams win when they don't play well. Just for some perspective, the 2007 Patriots (16-0 regular season) beat the A.J. Feeley led Eagles at home 31-28. That Eagles team finished 8-8. In 2006, the Colts beat the Winless Vince Young Titans 14-13 in the RCA Dome. The Colts were 18.5 point favorites in that game. I could keep doing this, not to mention the losses that great teams have every year. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate it when they do that, because it just messes his game up because it takes him out of dog mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Was it just me or did the wings being shaken around in sauce coming out of fryer shot never happen on the national broadcast last night?? What an oversight for the frazzled production staff flying in from who knows where to cover the game—maybe they spent too much time prepping the cliche Niagara Falls cutaway or substituted the table smash sequence? 🤷🏼♂️ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Definitely a rough outing for the offense from what we’re are used to. Allen was a bit off. Was he forcing? Was it the play calls? I think it was a little of both. Had a week off after a big game against KC. Maybe they took the packers a little lightly? End all is good teams win. We won. Couple of close ones against the chiefs and packers, happens to all teams throughout a season. Need the jets game to be a fix it game and get on track for the remainder of the season.

gonzo1105 Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 While McDermott is undefeated in byes, the Bills also have a nasty habit of being sloppy coming out of the bye weeks. Just reared its head in the 2nd half this year instead of the 1st half 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
