If the FG was not eschewed earlier and the Bills were already at 30-23 then possibly you could take a safety, but you would at least run a play. If it's a safety, it's a safety, but you would not have an intentional safety as Plan A there, ever. The idea is not to take the safety we have a QB that’s borderline unstoppable running. The only thing you CANT do is fumble or throw a pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, with hindsight, I am sure he would like to have batted down. But it was a good play. Jefferson made a better one. I believe it was selfishness though-backup corner/safety getting the game clinching interception….he wanted it. It shows he wasn’t situationally aware-everyone knows if you knock it down the game is over. That play epitomizes what the team lost with Hyde and Poyer going down. If you remember back to the Colts playoff game, Hyde had an opportunity to pick off the final pass of the game and just simply knocked it down leaving no doubt. Lewis wanted that glory 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I didn't think I'd feel bad so much this season. But all is not lost. The #1 seed seems like such a requirement - and it's hardly out of reach - but who knows. It seems like half the time teams look bad for stretches during a season, squeak into the playoffs, get hot and become the team to beat. I think adversity CAN be good for a team, if it doesn't ruin them. Really favorable schedule coming up. The 2 toughest games are home, against teams that would have to sweep us for the season (kind of unlikely), and then a series of teams that on paper, should be W's for the Bills. Hoping for a strong run here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AuntieEm Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 5 hours ago, oldmanfan said: I have defended McD a lot but this one is in him. Stupid decisions all day long. And Josh playing hero ball again. The fact that Josh Allen has too much say in how the offense goes. If the OC cannot curb his hero ball risk taking maybe time for a bit of reality check and bench Josh for a game. I suspect there is some kind of disconnect within the player ranks. Might not be the 90s ego driven bickering Bills but definitely something off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 54 minutes ago, Big Turk said: They should have simply shotgun snapped it and let Allen run out wide and throw it away if nothing was available. On 3 plays, Allen would have found the 2 or 3 yards they needed to be able to kneel down and end the game. Fumble occurred with 41 seconds. Rolling Allen out and two incomplete passes. Likely at least erases 6 seconds off the clock. At which point you can either try and pass for the first and lose another 3 seconds, run the ball, or run out of the end zone so we are kicking off/punting with less than 30 seconds on the clock.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I decided to wait before posting so I didn't have some dumb knee jerk reaction. I'm worried about our defense. We desperately need our starters back and that includes White. I know they aren't bring held out on purpose or that they are "saving them" for meaningful games but man, we can only do so much with 6 starters out and 6th round picks making up our DBs. Not taking anything away from them. They've pretty much have done better than a your can ask but, we are getting closer to December football and we need our guys back. I hope it's soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing I said about the schedule is wrong, and I hardly guaranteed a run. It was a mildly hopeful post. I get that it isn't the most welcome sentiment after a game like today, but I'm not the kind of fan to go into instant doom & pronouncements that the #1 seed is completely unattainable now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he made that great of an effort to catch the ball, it's actually easier to knock it away...As it was it took a miraculous effort by Jefferson, with the luck of the ball not hitting the ground as he fell because it looked like it came down on Lewis foot...That's how much luck it took...So the probability is near zero if the the second he sees the ball coming to him he knows to bat it tf down...

Niagara Dude Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 This was by far the most selfish play of the season. How can a guy with two hands on the ball allow the receiver with one hand and falling down catch it. It was both stupid and selfish. Like who is coaching out DB'S this happened two seasons ago against Cardinals. Look at the picture, he is trying for an interception on 4 & 18. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArtVandalay Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Just when I think 13 seconds can't be topped, McDermott proves us wrong, then after today when I think McDermott can't stoop any lower after today's debacle he has a cringe worthy dumpster fire press conference where he answers every question with "I believe"... Then due to his bizare answers he gets asked an obvious question: "It's pretty clear your message is belief, you said that a number of times. Are you at all concerned or part of your concern that your team can now lose belief in itself" McDermott nods and responds: "Well that's part of that's part of it..." then talks about how the league and season tests you. https://youtube.com/clip/UgkxG7d9vgyKaWQm9oNIjdl1PNNW47e-GEHV Is this guy out of his mind???? Is he serious???? This clown just admitted hes concerned the team is going to lose belief in themselves and not in a challenging motivating way, in a solemn reflecting way. Our coach just said in a press conference the is concerned this team is going to lose belief in itself. Poor leadership. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I'd have to agree w/ other posters on that 4th & 18 - but I also have to put that a lot on the coaches. That's what situational coaching is - and this wasn't a very nuanced situation. It's totally simple at the end of a game: if it's 4th down, you knock the ball down. Period. That's it. They should be emphasizing that in practice, and that has to be reinforced before that drive even begins. That's the difference between a win & a loss right there. It's not enough to gameplan well. Situational awareness doesn't just happen with players - it is coached. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
