We have ran many sneaks where everyone and their mother knew they were coming and Josh has converted all but one which was a bad snap. 4th and a full yard i would absolutely agree with you. The thing that irks me is that if we ran any other play and didn't convert absolutely everyone that follows football would say 'you have josh allen how do you not sneak it there'

Hes wrong according to any of those advanced metrics sites...granted everyone is free to take that with a grain of salt lol they had odds of us winning if we went for it at 63% and odds of winning if we kicked the fg at 42%. The team that can move the ball in the red zone as well as the home team gets a big edge in ot.

Who does though? The bucs maybe? I think every team in the league has glaring weaknesses and nobody is really looking overly dominant

He was great against the run but our lbs had a rough night against play action...which makes a lot of sense Yea I think its gonna be viewed more as an any given Sunday type loss due to that 4th and inches play...if we had picked up that first and then thrown 4 straight incompletions to lose the game the optics probably would've been different...or if we went to OT and Tennessee marched straight down the field and scored. I think we're underestimating how difficult it is to not get a couple inches on a sneak out of frustration over the loss lol we probably get that 95 times out of 100

How is it not believable? Ten is built for red zone success and we were struggling in the red zone. I dont think theyre the better team overall but the way that game was playing out nobody was stopping anybody from marching down to the red zone and they were considerably more likely to punch it into the end zone. We couldn't even stop them in 3 down series how would we have stopped them when they had 4 to work with. I wouldve put us at a 60/40 underdog in OT if I had to guess and that 4th and inches play when ten is showing 4 down linemen we probably pick up like 80-90% of the time. Honestly I think it's more likely Bass misses a fg/bad snap/bad hold/blocked fg than allen gets stopped on 4th and inches there it was just a freak play. If it was 4th and a full yard totally different story

Some shenanigans happened with the spot that I think our coaches took huge exception to and it threw everything off. officials signaled first down and then some magical force from above changed the call on the field without it being an official review. I do think they ended up with a good spot though for the record but that is not how it shouldve happened and that really messed us up...guaranteed McDermott is furious he just doesn't want to make excuses. If it was an official review even if the first down ruling was reversed we wouldve had more time to cook up a play. We really got screwed pretty hard but if you can't get a couple inches to pick up the first down you don't deserve to win so we have no business blaming the refs. I mean...how could we use a timeout... we only had two left right? And that wasn't a goal line play so the clock was going to be running if we got the first...that spot not getting reviewed really screwed us since they ruled it a first initially I'm surprised that's not getting talked about more

He makes absurd plays look completely routine...on a lot of these strikes he throws deep down the field on the run the receiver is only open because the defender is like no wayy anybody can make this throw lol

I think its pretty encouraging the titans are really not a good matchup for us and it was on the road after a huge game against the chiefs and we played well enough to win...I think the titans tipped their hand on what pass rushes they like to run if we end up seeing them again and we'll be better prepared to take advantage of their weak secondary since the oline will hold up a little better. Hard for me to give the dline all the blame when they had guys running wide open all over the field because our lbs could not stay at home during play action.

I said the same thing I dont want to say I was happy that got called back but I think our win percentage wouldve been lower if we didn't get the last possession. We couldn't stop the Titans when they had 3 downs to work with imagine if they had 4.

Every 'super bowl favorite' will likely lose multiple tough games this year...the nfl and the afc specifically are very wide open and we could easily still be viewed as the team to beat even after that loss. Back to back road games against kc and ten is a tough ask for anyone Exactly...yea we got beat up a bit in the trenches but the strengths of our team more than kept us in the game. Both our losses have felt a bit flukey so far compared to last year when we got absolutely annihilated by ten and kc

Taking a 12 yard sack is def worse than throwing it away too...not the worst play in the world

Lol what happened to Dawkins is pretty much impossible is what I'm saying...looked like Josh tried to do exactly what brady did just a little left of center because he knew all he had to do was fall forwards to pick up a few inches... but Dawkins was in his lap in the split second it took him to take the snap so he slipped. We wouldve been more successful if we didn't even have a LT on that play somehow 🤣 the defender basically tackled josh with Dawkins instantly. Clearly it didn't work so we're all free to criticize but it is an absolute freak play not being able to get a couple inches on a sneak even if the defense loads up against it...like getting stopped when you need a full yard is one thing.

I feel like we're putting uneccesary blame on the dline but maybe that's a hot take...tannehill had guys wide open immediately every play because our linebackers were absolutely clueless

I think the part we don't really talk about is we were probably going to be a sizeable underdog in OT...win percentage was probably higher sneaking on that 4th and inches especially because we were finally sticking it to the titans dline a bit. In OT both teams wouldve marched down the field but theres no way we were stopping them in the red zone Lol how is that a weak answer? That is literally exactly what happened in the game. The Titans DL was not crushing us at the end of the game...Josh had tons of time...sneak was the right call he gets that 90% of the time...even with the putrid blocking I bet he picks it up if he didn't slip on Dawkins getting shoved into his lap

It's criminal TB had to play in Washington last season lol I wonder if they ever change that

It's incredible how many times levy said 'the bills fans invading Nashville has been overrated' loll like what did he expect the stadium to be 90% bills fans 🤣

How could an offensive player on one team 'beat' an offensive player on another team 🤣 in fact...I think your logic is completely backwards and further cemented Josh as a true mvp in that loss. Dude was the whole team the defense couldn't get a stop and the offensive line couldn't block for almost the entire game and we still were a few inches from getting the win. I would def agree with this...people seem to think mvp is find the best team and pick the best player on it but that's not at all what an mvp is lol dak and Kyler have very similar 'these two guys carry the team' vibes to Josh

66 yard fg that never should've even happened...refs missed the most obvious delay of game of all time the play before that People keep going on about guys that are wide open either after josh has thrown the ball to someone else or after he has rolled to the other side of the field or after he has already scrambled past the line of scrimmage...I think mostly because the commentators were absolute fools last night 🤣 I do remember them saying ohhhhh this guy was wide open and it being one of those situations quite a few times.

How can a game be a blowout when you give up 6 consecutive scores lol also its pretty tough to be methodological on offense when the titans are getting pretty much free rushers only rushing 4 most of the game I think part of it was we finally started to get some good push against the Titans dline on the last couple drives...they looked gassed but made the play that mattered most. Brady also doesn't have a left tackle launched into his lap the second he takes the snap on a sneak lol I can't say I've ever seen that before

I think every teams fans are thinking it's not their year...even the 5-1 teams have looked pretty mediocre against bad-average opponents. The Ravens have been about as lucky as you can get so far. Also keep in mind each team is gonna have more holes than usual because the cap was significantly reduced

They did seem to gas out on the dline late in the game too. I'm shocked they came up so huge on that 4th down It's crazy how much getting the W or the L changes the perception of things. If he gets the ball one inch further on that hurdle and we get in the end zone I bet he'd be the mvp favorite right now and the whole sports world would be talking him up...but now we've got people saying he was mediocre last night loll

There was def one other that I remember although it led to a PI and he missed beasley once but it looked like he expected beasley to run a different option route to me. Other than that he was on fire in my opinion...its funny people see different things in the same game haha football is such a team sport that the act of assigning blame is pretty difficult

Haha yea he missed that one...the decision was fine both those defenders were beat and he just has to get it almost anywhere out in front of sanders but he underthrew it

I think it was mostly stunts coming from all over that we just weren't picking up which hopefully is more correctable than our guys just getting whooped by the same 3 or 4 down linemen all game

Just cuz there were two guys in coverage doesn't mean he was double covered lol sanders burned both those guys it was just an underthrown ball...more up the field and its an easy td. We actually even completed the pass to pick up the 3rd and 17 but the defender made a nice heads up play and forced him out of bounds so im not sure 3rd and 17 is impossible. I just dont get how you can compare a guy who's seeing a 4 man rush with 7 dbs in coverage to a guy where everyone and their mother is biting on the play action and every receiver on the field is comically wide open. Josh was not perfect but he was great...we were literally inches away from talking about how he carried the whole team to victory. The sack was a bad play though you are not wrong about that...it had absolutely nothing to do with indecisiveness though. He was going to have Davis open deep on a double move but the weak side safety who had crept up a little too far was like oh cr*p and he raced back and got over to help just in time
