Billsfan1972

The point is not that the Bills lost, but was it the right decision, as there is a posibility it happens again and then I'll bet dollars for donuts McD opts for the single point? I asked a question & think the decision was wrong and they should have gone for 2. If they made it & KC kicks the same FG, that last drive may have gone differently. It comes down to coaching and understanding the options and statistical probabilities.

Or go big & go for TD & 2 points & win 24-23...... No there were more options going for 2 at 23-16, then 23-17..... And remember extra points are no longer a gimme (ask Butker).....

As did I..... No real pressure (compared to KC on Allen). Unfortunately he's a rookie & was excited and got too amped. Again coaching. Regardless, the point was to give the Bills every opportunity. They make the 2-points at 23-16 a fg keeps it one possession. They miss and stop KC and score a TD, they can then decide to tie or win the game. Way more options if they went for 2. Too much to ask of McD.

Same as "Almost Won" stats..... Bills almost beat Kax & Houston in the playoffs and were within a score of Baltimore last year...... DO we want to really play that game?????😜

Look it has been so long since the Bills had a team you got excited playing the Offensive side of the ball (20 years since a team was in the top 10, and during those 20 years averaging 24th in the league), that yes I am biased that I want to see exciting Offensive football & points. The way they gutted that side of the ball with what appeared no intention to get skill players (yes they drafted Allen) was a real issue in 2017. In 2018 they drafted Allen and gave him a lousy receiving core. And then there was always the Peterman fiasco (2017 & doubling down in 2018).

Not saying it wasn't. I just thought at that time going for two made sense however we know McDermott would never do that because he has so much confidence in his defense.

Or score a td and one 2 point convert and win 24-23. There was plenty of time left and KC did get a field goal. We're talking about one of the best offenses in the NFL.

I was thinking that the Bills should have gone for two at 23-16. If successful, then the fg KC kicked to make it 26, would have meant the Bills still could tie the game with another TD & 2 points. To me you need to be aggressive & wonder what the wonderful sheet says is the play at that time😜. The last drive (and int) meant nothing as it was a 9 point spread (2 scores).

McD made the decisiuon to gut the Offense in 2017. Are you counting 8-8 teams? I count 5, KC & Atl in 2017, Tenn x 2 (both years 9-7) & Minn (8-7-1). A true Murderers Row!!!!! Again we're talking an offense against sub-par competition who ranked 30, 29 & 24th on offense 2017-19 (and have regressed the past two weeks).

Revisionist history. The Bills were 24-24 the three years prior to McD, so give me a break. They also started gutting the team and yes their O/U was 6.5 in 2017...... 2018 it was 7 (oops went under @ 6-10), and 2019 7, so 2-1..... How about then we look at the wins & who they beat. 2017-19, not many highlight reel wins (KC & Atl in 2017?). How many wins vs. +.500 teams in 2017-2019 (I'm not checking, but the O/U is 5). He is a decent coach, who admittedley ruffled my feathers withg how he approached the offense years 1-3 (and seems to have regressed the last 2 games). Want to see some statement wins vs. NE (though I expect it) and some other opponents after the last two weeks and see something that says "McD really coached a great game". When you see the defense not just gouged, but not being able to make stops on 3rd down and the offense again look confused out there, not a good sign.

The Process, the process, the process...... So tired of hearing that. 25-23 his first 3 years and he was a genius..... 2 Playoff losses (both winnable games). I was too ready to buy into the hype at 4-0, because they had discovered that throwing the ball actually works in the NFL. Last two games the warts reappeared. The offense again looks lost & the defense is 30th in the league in stopping third down conversions (often 8+ yards). The stunt at the end of the 3rd quarter was classic McD and then lack of urgency was obvious.

I don't want him running like Lamar or Kyler, however it is an important part of his game that was missing in not just the Titan's game, but Los Angeles & Las Vegas too.

Again yesterday we saw some good rushing performances by QB's (& expect Kyler Murray to put up #'s tonight). Hope Allen's feet are part of the game plan (i.e. some scrambles).

🤣😂🤩😋😁 Best laugh of the day!!!!!

It was a catchable ball, but like Allen, thrown too hard😆.

I was saying that a # that were blamed on Allen were the receivers' fault. He has also thrown bad ints, like all other QBs. The difference being that the media (and many here) would blame it on his accuracy in many instances.

Not a shot..... Should have caught it and at worst an incompletion. Greeney would not have blamed Rodgers, Wilson or Prescott that's for sure.

And I still have debates here on the Week 1 2019 Pick 6 that was off Beasley, that the announcers & many here attributed to Allen.

The first two years, it would have been: "Allen threw behind the receiver & again shows he is just not that accurate a passer" On Tuesday it was: "The pass was there and that is a catch an NFL receiver has to make" I saw the Int & blamed the receiver. The replay did show Allen was a little off. Since day one 1 with Allen I blame the receiver & now it seems so does the media (and most on here).😜

Whether short fields or not, the Titans had no trouble moving the ball. One af the punts was after half and they generated first downs and held the bal 5:30 and punted from the Bills 44. On another punt they were at the Bills 36 (and decided to take a penalty vs. try a fg). The Bills did not stop them all night.

The last 20 years must have not been easy!!!!!😜

I read, listen & watch a little, but national shows I stay away from. However 20+ years and very little positive press, seldom was there too much. Canadian & a big basketball fan. When you have a competitive team, which the Toronto Raptors are and there is a big, statement game that you lose (be it regular season or playoffs) big, then yup, don't want to hear or read the "I told you so, fools gold, over-rated, can't compete with elite teams......" Let's hope for a good competitive games vs. KC (or a big win) and a better week of media after Monday.

And all started with a bad call on first down. One yard runs put pressure on the next two plays (shadow of goal line). After the Bills pinned them deep, first play was offside and there was the difference. 1st & 5 vs. 2nd & 9 (as Tennessee was running Henry). Actually the D was bad & has been all season. Shutting down the Jets is no big deal.

The offense got the ball 2X's the second half..... Allen threw a bad int, when it was a play he could have run the ball, but seemed to want to force it in & a TD. The Bills stopped the Titans after the Int and should have been a fg, but a stupid Roughing the Passer Penalty. So instead of 24-10 (and Bills made it 24-17), it is 28-10 (16) and complexion of the game completely changed. Add to that the when Tennessee went 90 yards to score at the end of the half. Simply the Bills defense was lousy (yes short fields, but 1-2 stops and maybe a different result). The Bills are a good team, maybe very good, but a dose of humility maybe exactly what the doctor ordered.

Yes they did, however there were times where he had plenty of time & the old Josh would have beaten them with his legs. With so many in coverage, unless he's still injured, there seemed opportunities to run. Love Diggs & like that Josh is targetting him, but seemed too at times he was forcing it to him.
