The Bills had the ball with a couple of minutes left and needed a score to tie or win. They didn’t. The defense didn’t have the ball, the offense did. Acting like all the blame is on the defense in a tight game like this is just silly.
This was supposed to be a rebuild year yet we won the division easily and were the second seed in the playoffs, going out after a close game away against the reigning champs. I would say the future looks bright and we are in good hands.
They could have put me in there and I wouldn’t be ready either. That’s not on the coaches. Sometimes the player just isn’t good enough. You can’t have endless depth in every position unfortunately.
Can someone who has played football please explain to me why they tried that sneak play instead of a regular run when no run so far has yielded less than a yard (from what I recall)?
If he’s on the field taking focus from the other receivers I don’t really care who gets the ball. He’s a threat and the other teams need to treat him as one, which is a good thing for us.
It isn’t uncommon for this defense to allow a score on the first drive. Usually they adapt and improve throughout the game. Let’s hope that happens today too.
