Kelly the Dog Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Did he admit to that? It did look like he was screaming at the ref for lollygagging getting the ball spotted. Yup. McD admitted to it after the game. He said he thought he could get two plays in and made a mistake.
BringBackOrton Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 Nope.......Tyrod's fault. And not having enough players on the field or getting playcall in in time........ and subsequently burning 3 timeouts.........2 in first half.........1 in second half.............Tyrod's fault for not calling play faster and getting enough players on the field. McCoy fumble..........again, Tyrod......should have known to put in in his other arm. Crowd standing up and giving Zay Jones a brutal standing Bronx cheer when he actually caught a pass..........Tyrod's fault. For throwing the ball to Matthews who clearly could not get OOB? Yes. McD admitted to it after the game. He said he thought he could get two plays in and made a mistake. When players can lay on your receiver for an extra 2 seconds, this is a huge mistake. Not even sure what the point of the play was. Did they think someone could get upfield on a short crosser?

I have no idea. And how the hell would they possibly get two plays off if there was a crosser? That would be impossible.
Doc Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 McD admitted to it after the game. He said he thought he could get two plays in and made a mistake. OK. Thanks.
BADOLBILZ Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 For throwing the ball to Matthews who clearly could not get OOB? Yes. FWIW.......McD ran on the field at Matthews after the half ended and yelled 3 words: "DROP THE BALL!". Awful showing by the coaching staff today.........defense was a mess and Tyrod was basically playing streetball with his buddy Thompson.........it was plays made by players in spite of the coaching staff.
26CornerBlitz Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 @thadbrown7 What the heck happened on that end of the first half debacle? The #Bills say they poorly miscalculated. http://www.rochesterfirst.com/sports/nfl/nfl-buffalo/mcdermott-takes-the-blame-for-poor-clock-management/842552258
Chandler#81 Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 McD admitted to it after the game. He said he thought he could get two plays in and made a mistake. I think this is key. They -and all teams- practice this every day from minicamp through the SB. They believe they have it mastered (12 seconds allows for inbounds play and time left to spike the ball). BUT, where exactly is the milliseconds on the game clock? Often you see what appears to be 2 full seconds pass before the play clock drops one second. Other times, it immediately flips to 11 seconds, almost before the QB catches the shotgun snap. Add in how slow the ref was in spotting the ball while the Bills were completely set to put the ball in play, and they have to rethink adding another second (13) to their scheme of what we can do in this down/distance/timeframe.

hemma Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 1) Taylor should have thrown it out of bounds, but given that he didn't ... 2) Matthews should have knocked it down. Very poor football awareness.

Miscalculations.

Miscalculations. Not as bad as the time the Bills coach stated that 50 yard FGs were way too risky and that nobody makes them.

Very poor football awareness. I think what infuriated McD was that he not only should have dropped the ball.......Taylor had to throw it in his general direction to avoid a grounding call anyway.........but then he got up and then looked at the sideline holding the ball like he was wondering if he should call a timeout that didn't exist. If he had whipped the ball right back to the official it's POSSIBLE that they get the ball grounded in time. Still stupid decision by the coaching staff and Tyrod should have chucked it into the ground but Matthews is a 4th year pro not some rookie.

Awful showing by the coaching staff today.........defense was a mess and Tyrod was basically playing streetball with his buddy Thompson.........it was plays made by That was That was a play call I wold expect out of Rex Ryan. Try real real hard and see if you can come up with a dumber decision, ever, by the Bills. 4 people deserve blame on that fiasco. McDermott for burning timeouts earlier in the qtr, esp the first. 2) Mcd/Dennisson, whoever called that play, 3) Tyrod for apparently checking down, throw it away, 4) the receiver for catching the ball.

That's not what a check down is. Check downs involve surveying the field and dumping it off to the safety valve after all other options have been exhausted. The playcall was a no-read out, the pass was to be thrown no matter what. So the playcall is almost totally at fault here. Minor blame to Tyrod and Matthews for not insubordiately spiking/dropping the ball if they realized the call was bad. Edited October 23, 2017 by SoFFacet

The speculation in the stands was that they were trying to get the ball placed on the other hash mark because Hauschka missed the 41 harder from the side they were on earlier..........and fwiw he damn-near yanked the game-winner left from the right hash mark. I didn't put much thought into it either way because it was utter stupidity trying to run a play there that didn't involve an end zone shot.......but it didn't look like a checkdown........and if so that entirely explains the direction of the throw.

Doc Posted October 23, 2017 Posted October 23, 2017 It wasnt a checkdown. In that situation you dont have time for one. It was supposed to be a quick hitter with the receiver going out of bounds. But Mathews so far away from the sidelines Tyrod shouldve realize that and thrown it at his feet. And also Matthews shouldve just dropped the ball realizing that he couldnt make it out of bounds.
