sven233 Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Not a bad half of football. Should have 24 instead of 17, but Dorsey can't get out of his own way sometimes. I will say outside of that train wreck at the goal line with 8" to go, and the draw play on 2nd a super long, Dorsey has called a pretty good game. But man, when he messed up, he really messes up. He actively cost us 7 points that half. Anyway, hopefully the up tempo offense continues in the 2nd half because Tampa hasn't stopped us.....we've only stopped ourselves. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let them rush FG unit on ! My god Its not scared, its aggressive. A miss gives you great field position. Letting them kick it there means they run the clock out before kicking.

I like the way McDermott handled that. You don't call timeout while the offense is out there but as soon as they run off call it. I don't maybe call it sooner then give your offense enough clock to try and get down and get a FG if you want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

End result was disappointing, but understandable. Exactly. Bucs should have ran 3rd and 15.

Let them rush FG unit on ! My god They had 20 seconds. there's no "rush" there. The fact that he called the TO actually made TB not even attempt the field goal, taking a possible 3 points off the board. Their kicker has already made a 57 yarder in that direction. At least with the timeout, if they do miss the FG, you'll get the ball at midfield with 15 seconds and 2 timeouts. This feels like just looking for something to complain about. It was the right decision, and TB didn't get points. Edited October 27, 2023 by CLTbills 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billl Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 2 minutes ago, DCofNC said: It forced them to NOT try the FG. If the clock is running to zero they can kick, if they try it and miss w time on the clock they give the Bills a good chance to score before the half. This is the correct answer. Tampa would have tried the kick if they could end the half with a miss. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 (edited) Offense looked really good for the most part. We need to not be so obsessed with 12 personnel.

Dorian looked like he was all over the field flying to the ball. Not sure what he did that was so egregious that he was benched for Dodson. He missed several assignments last week that led to big plays for New England. Dodson won't make the big plays, but he can at least limit them for the other team.

It’s dictating the game to TB instead of being a fkn pssy. tb goes for it and doesn’t get it you get the ball on the 40 missed fg you get the ball on the 49 they punt you get the ball on your 20 with 30 seconds left and two timeouts conservative doesn’t work in this league when tb runs in the fg unit McDermott realized he screwed up and had to call a to or tb would have run the clock down and tried a last second fg its like they don’t even have a clock management plan 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
