LeGOATski Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 So, the difference-maker was Jones faking? My advice is to err on the side of caution. Count numbers. Make sure you match. It can't be that hard. 4
BringBackFergy Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Can we please move on from this ***** game? 4 2 3
wvbillsfan Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 So we (bills) adjusted to it in the previous weeks but for some reason chose not to do it against the pats. Based off 15 years of mind numbing stupidity against the pats I’d say that checks out. 1
uticaclub Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 The Patriots played dump & chase, took an early lead on a mistake by the other team in their zone & dared the other team to score on them. I hate the Devils almost as much as I hate the Patriots.
DRA3196 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Results of hiring a ST coach with no experience. Mistakes happen when you are learning how to do your job. Thankfully the team doesn't have as much time as us fans do, to dwell on the past. On to Nashville. 2
stuvian Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 well coached teams don't stay exposed like that three weeks in a row 4

Jerome007 Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 A dead horse? Move on? This article makes it crystal clear the Bills have had this issue come up twice in the 3 weeks prior to the NE game. Twice. And 3rd time was the charm... in only the 4th week. You guys think it's acceptable? It cost a touchdown and ultimately, the game! Not Brady or whatever, but a blocked punt. Hey, I'm all for giving rookie coaches a chance but this was the 3rd time in 4 weeks! McD and staff are to blame as well. Interesting too that the article mentions that since Bojorquez tried out with the Pats* that they likely knew he wasn't enough good as a passer to take advantage of a guy no one was covering! 2 1

This does NOT give me a good feeling that we have fixed our league bottom ST play or even have someone paying enough attention to it. And not to excuse Allen's problems - but at the end of the day, that blocked punt for 6 was the difference in the final score. 10 hours ago, Gugny said: Bad take here, Gugny. This article makes it clear that the Bills showed a ST coverage weakness 3 weeks in a row that the Pats successfully exploited. It shouldn't have happened twice, let alone still have been there for the Pats to exploit with a blocked punt and a pick-6 1 1
Hapless Bills Fan Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 2 hours ago, SlimShady'sGhost said: 6 points is an exploitation? In the context of that game where the Pats had just scored a TD and were leading by 6 points, then exploited a weakness seen on prev. game film to collect 7 more, yes. In the context of any game, if your team puts a weakness on film and you don't fix it, you're not a professional outfit. Harsh but real. 2

CuddyDark Posted October 3, 2019 Posted October 3, 2019 Bills also exploited the Pats S position leading them to signing Jordan Richards.

Even if that was the play - the snap was basically on the ground. I imagine the teams guys are getting drilled pretty hard this week on what to do in those situations.
