maddog Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 1 - Mularkey's 4th and 4 punt from the 34 seemed weak. That's #3 on my list behind go for it and FG. 2 - Most pass plays by NE targeted McGee or our safeties. 3 - We did not take advantage of NE's lack of DB depth. Most of our plays were run w/ only one or two WRs in the game. 4 - I'm amazed at how poor coaches are with clock management. At the end of the first half, NE had 2nd down inside the Bills 10 yard line up 13-0 with about 1:20 left. If we had used our two remaining timeouts we could have ensured that we get the ball back with at least a minute to play. Instead, we don't call timeout, NE scores a TD, and we get the ball with 30 secs left. 5 - how come when we play NE it seems like they have 14 guys on defense? 6 - how come when we play NE it seems like we have 8 guys on defense?

maddog Posted November 15, 2004 Author Share Posted November 15, 2004 One other thing, the aborted flea-flicker by McGahee was brilliant on his part. Henry cannot improvise like that. Without question, if Henry runs that play, it's a turnover or blown up play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
34-78-83 Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 The answers to # 5 and #6 are that for whatever reason, that team is deeply in the heads of our players, and has been since Drew came over. It's almost like a disease , or a curse, I'm not sure which is better. Look NE is a very good team, but their players are not so good that we should be getting embarassed like we do against them. It seems that we atleast show up against every other team in the league.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsNYC Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 #1 - Mularkey showed he has no faith in Lindell He'll be gone at season's end.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tux of Borg Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 That three man rush killed me last night. It looked like they had two guys on every DL that we sent. The end result was Brady having all night to throw the ball. When we did decided to send the house, nobody could tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted November 15, 2004 Share Posted November 15, 2004 #1 - Mularkey showed he has no faith in Lindell He'll be gone at season's end.. 118343[/snapback] Yes, but by punting and not going for the first down he also showed he had no faith in his defense. As it turned out, such faith would have been misplaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He finds a way to exploit the biggest weaknesses you have on your offense and defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
