‘Coaching: D-minus — The Bills coaching staff has been criticized often this year for its game-management weaknesses, and there was another classic blunder at the end of the first half. With no timeouts and 22 seconds left, the Bills had a third-and-5 at the Pats 12. A run to Fred Jackson was called, and the thinking was he’d get the first down, the Bills would spike the ball to stop the clock and then kick a field goal. If he didn’t get the first down, coach Dick Jauron though he’d have enough time to run the field-goal unit out. It backfired when the Patriots got away with stalling and the Bills never even got lined up, costing themselves three points. The run was horrible because first down or not, it was cutting it close. Turk Schonert’s choice of outside passes on a windy day was also lame.’
