10/6/2024 - Bills at Texans post game thread.

[Nitro]

Brady and Babich got it together in the second half.  Over all some head scratching decisions.  Allen 9 for 30.   Blitzing is killing both sides of the ball.

[nedboy7]

With 3 timeouts it still would have been safer to try to get a 1st down running.

This is almost as bad as 13 seconds in KC

That was about how much time they ran off the clock on that drive they had.  That was the biggest problem.

Whatever. Almost came back. This is a wildcard team at best unless the division continues to suck. Not a deep playoff year.

They had 3 timeouts

Did you see what they used before the kick? a ***** timeout - which they wouldn’t have had. 

[familykwi]

If you figure Josh is going to cost you a game and coaching is going to cost you another game, at least this time they worked together to lose the same game.

Over what?   They were beat by a better team it seemed.   Somehow they were in it at the end.

And crapped it away with bad coaching. Should have run it and made Texans use timeouts. Then punt. Instead they thought they were some high powered O and called 3 straight pass plays and blew it.

Coaching malpractice

[ALG1130]

I don't know what to say, and I don't know what this team is. Are they trash? Are they sort of good? Are they better than what they have shown? They came back and made a game of it, so it gives me SOME hope, but the coaching and play calling has been bad, really bad. The "weapons" on offense are bad.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I am a big McD defender. But that last sequence on O was on coaching. We had to get a first down there. Why not run your offense? Draw; hand-off; quick out. Just needed 10 yards.

[HansLanda]

that qualifies as a total team loss - including coaching decisions 

[BananaB]

What a ***** clown show

[White Linen]

I can't think of a worse way to handle the end that game.

 

Unfortunately I say that a lot with this HC.  Will Terry find the stones to get away from this guy that is good but doesn't have it?

You have maybe a 10% chance of scoring from your own 3 with no timeouts and 40 seconds.

 

McDermott just disrespected the whole team and the effort they made by not just kneeling there.

 

That, to me, is a fireable offense. That is terrible, terrible coaching.

 

Expand  

10%?  How about 1%.  What were they thinking?

 

So today McD doesn't challenge the Kincaid catch along the sideline and then whatever the hell that was at the end of the game.  How long are we going to put up with this crap?

Define what is playing for OT? Running the ball 3 times, so they can use their TOs. I suppose you can say if we made them use it then they wouldn’t have been able to call the TO there. 

Expand  

Yes, then they don't have that time out for the quick throw and time out at the end. It was an egregious blunder by the coaches

[buffblue]

Complain all you want about the end of game, but had the Bills gone run run run punt the result would've been the same. With Houston having all 3 timeouts and us pinned at the 4, we HAD to get a first down just to ensure overtime. 

 

There are PLENTY of things to complain about here, but the end of game is not one of them.

Diggs was right. Coaching.

They were thinking get a first down and get this to overtime. Obviously flawed strategy. Three runs would have been three TOs used by Houston, they may not have gotten that last second FG with no timeouts.
