Josh was rushed and had to get the ball out. He made a call, Davis made a call. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.Sack Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Not clutch when needed most. Team regressing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim0904 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) OT throw, I think it was more on Josh than Davis based on the angle and DB position... Edited November 27, 2023 by kkim0904 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we had signed DeAndre Hopkins in the offseason I think we would have a minimum of 3 more wins right now. Brandon Beane completely failed his franchise's biggest investment. if we signed Hopkins, Floyd would be gone which also would’ve hurt. that said, Davis hurts to watch and the idea he got a game ball on zero targets is awful.

oldmanfan Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) SoCal Deek laughs at my comment that the corner had more leverage inside. Both the WR and QB had to make a judgment. Neither was right or wrong. And we don’t come as close as we did today without Davis and his effort.

I don’t care about the 13 second game or how many yards and TD he has. On this one topic, is it disproportionately Gabe Davis vs everyone else? It definitely feels that way His career as a Bill will be over in 5 games. I’m not even going to get worked up about him. Season is over anyways.

Prety messed up to call a guy dumb when you have no idea who was at fault. Davis was wide open and the d back was playing inside. The d back had his back turned. He was beat no matter where davis went, the play has a built in option if the safety vacates the area and there is pressure. it was obvious as it gets, the eagles brought pressure, Allen has no time to wait for a corner route, with pressure and the safety out of the middle and the corner with his back turned the ball goes inside. Every damn time. its no different than tight ends who run dig routes and the break goes to where they have leverage or an inside wr breaking off a route to a quick slant because of pressure leaving the middle of the field wide open. It was elementary stuff. That is why the damn option is built into those plays, for that exact situation. As soon as allen snapped the ball and he saw pressure, the safety moved and the corners back to him he did what he was supposed to do. 4 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harty, Ford, Hines, Poyer. Those are the albatross contracts. And I know we would have had to sell out a bit on our future to fit Hopkins in. But now here we are having a conversation about cleaning house anyways. So we took no risk and got no gain out it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUFFALOTONE Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 At that point in the game why not burn a time out and discuss the zero blitz? That is bad coaching, you have their back against the wall why rush to make a bad call when you can win the game… it’s so sickening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a step or two behind and to the inside. A throw to the inside brings him more into the play. That play could have won the game. But it didn’t lose the game.
