The Bills need to work on clock management. They took way too much time in between plays which ran the clock so low that if we didn't score we had no chance to get the ball back.

 

We had 2 timeouts and caught the ball at the Ravens 32-yard line with 3:24 left. We then huddled and didn't snap the ball until there was 2:49 left (8 seconds on the playclock). The whole drive we kept taking so much time off after every play. 

 

If we had any urgency then we still could've had at least 2 minutes and two timeouts if we weren't so slow in between plays.

NO.

 

The tempo was correct here! You are trying to ensure the #1 Offense has no time left- if they score.

 

Correct idea. Execution was mediocre.

He sucked. But you had to see the drops out there, right?

 

He didn't suck. He played the best team in the league within inches and outside of not throwing a couple away, and a couple drops, we were right there. Our D is baller.

Everybody on O was bad today. Literally everybody. 
 

Bad protection. 
Bad passes.

Bad drops.

Bad play calls.

 

Just bad.

 

Agrred.  But so much of this was on Dabol.

 

The Ravens blitz more than any team in the league.  And this game plan did NOTHING to exploit that.    Very dissapointing...

the WRs sucked. JA was mediocre mostly because he was getting sacked when he didnt have to many times.The drops were brutal

What a joke. Just took the Ravens to the wire. Just sad.

 

Yea the positive is we are a good team. We hung with the Pats and we hung with the Ravens. Our D can play with anybody. 

 

The negative is offensively we just are not good enough yet to WIN those games. Everything was below par offensively today. Play calling, blocking, passing, catching.... too many poor plays. 

 

A stud offensive playmaker and another year of progression from Josh and maybe we get to that point.

Here we go. Just a reminder, we fought hard against the best team in the league by a long long way.

Good thing we saved that time out didnt challenge the obvious PI right?

That was the one where Dawkins was gimped. He should have just gone down for the injury TO. It's not within 2 minutes, so no charged TO. Dawkins misses 1 play which just means he can whiff from the sideline instead. And that was also the 12-yard sack play since Allen was jumpy knowing his blind side was gimped.

if he throws to Beasley its a first and prob a TD

 

[Solomon Grundy]

Why couldn't they figure out Chuck Clark blitzing? You take advantage of that

That’s too close for me to call - it looks from that as though Brown had a play on that, but I can’t tell from that angle whether the DB is hitting Brown’s right hand down

It looks to me as though Brown’s finger are under the DB’s wrist

Metcalf would have been a difference maker in this game.

I’m a Ravens fan from here on out unless we play them again. 

 

F that

Should've been looking to Beasemeister instead of tying to get John Brown his revenge

Pathetic offensive performance all around.

This is it. Bills deserved to lose because of piss poor offensive execution.  Overthrown balls, dropped balls, blitzers running free,  whiffed blocks and on and on. There was little room for this lack of execution if they hoped to win. Its a team loss for the offense 

[Say When...]

houston loss, colts loss...  we're OK

I agree, but they're not gonna call that.

[CoudyBills]

Not happy with the offense today, losing always sucks.  They did run with the big boys though.  O needs to be better all around.  Josh cant start 1-7 or whatever it was.

absolutely correct. we needed quick hitters. instead we got a bunch of slow developing plays and dumb passes to the outside
