That would have been a hell of a way to lose the game and possibly kibosh our playoffs. But it appears that our team was better coached — and the guy for the Chargers made the wrong decision as there was a mismatch in their favor on their left side, I believe, but he took it right.

It means ONE player fixed a major problem that was developing. If the line lets 5 free rushers through to hit Josh, but he spins around, does his Allen magic, and throws a TD ... does that mean the line played it well? No. It means, ONE player fixed a major issue. Neal made a great play. One player. I've been teling you this in the other thread. NEAL. He fixed a major issue by himself. We need to fix this so in the future the whole defense is playing this properly. We had 3 or 4 guys tackling one lateraling player. Falling over themselves. It was bad. . Lol. The player who over pursued to the side the lateral came from and then came back across to challenge the WR with the ball was not Neal #33. It is #39 Cam Lewis 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OK, just for a second, yeah, but then I realized that the Bills had not abandoned that side of the field like the did in the Titans playoff game. Then I just relaxed and realized everything was all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerseyBills Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Not live but after seeing he had a lane with all those blockers, I'm grateful. I'd be sick rn , sadly would've ruined my xmas , especially after majority of games going our way. I'd be miserable rn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMAn Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 (edited) I can’t remember an NFL game in which the desperation lateral drill tactic actually worked and resulted in a winning TD. Anyone here have a different recollection? edit: not referring to a kickoff backward pass like the Titans Wycheck thing. I was meaning a last play from the line of scrimmage with seconds remaining.

It wasn't really open. Benford was there. Another couple of Bills were getting there. He cut it back inside for a reason. 7 minutes ago, SoMAn said: I can’t remember an NFL game in which the desperation lateral drill tactic actually worked and resulted in a winning TD.

And if you watch this clip in slow motion you can clearly see, as many have stated, that Benford is through the blockers along the right sideline and breaking down to make a tackle, which is what turned it inside. And, to other’s points about the defenders out of frame, you can see Hamlin and 2 others coming into the fram at the very end as the play is over. The narrative about this being anywhere near a successful attempt is all Collinsworth babble. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt_In_NH Posted December 25, 2023 Share Posted December 25, 2023 Tirico made a noise I did not like but as soon as those thoughts were starting the guy was getting tackled.

Shaw66 Posted December 26, 2023 Share Posted December 26, 2023 Yes, lump, for sure. When the ball was thrown across the field, there was a moment of terror. Then, I thought, "don't be silly."

True, but even if Benford is blocked, it looked like Neal had the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
