Chris Brown said that miss was on Morse.  Not sure.  I will have to watch it again. or are we not talking about the Allen sweep?

 

if it was it just adds to the fact that Morse has been disgustingly underwhelming this season. we could have prob got that production out of a average veteran Center instead of overpaying him. 

[Troll Toll]

Yeah, it’s easily the QB sweep for me as well. I jumped off the sofa quickly after the snap as I saw 3 blockers and 2 Texans between Josh and a game winning TD. I thought there was no way we don’t get a TD on that play.

Honestly I think Dimarco should have better timed his jump. That 40 yards probably gets Josh to 300. ?

If you watch the play again, when Josh looked and threw the ball, DiMarco was two yards past his guy and open. Josh threw it well short. Like ten yards. DiMarco had to completely stop, wait, and jump, which he did time horribly and could have caught.

[Ethan in Cleveland]

The missed block on #41 by 3 guys. Josh runs for 20+ yards there maybe even scores. Knox was the moat culpable followed by Feliciano I think. Morse was the last guy of the three but he was the least in position to make the block. That's what I recall off the top of my head. Medium range FG to win would have been the worst outcome if #41 is blocked

While I agree with your Morse season assessment, I think it was Knox's play to make

If you're not a Milano fan, you're nuts. Milano makes impact plays all the time and is good in coverage. He's young and will continue to improve. What's more, when he has been out the defense has noticeably suffered.

Not true. He is a solid player but he's not that great in coverage and he actually didn't make that many game changing plays this year. He is a fine weak side linebacker but the need a much better attacking linebacker to replace Lorax.

[JoshAllin]

Knox was just confused all day, he even messed up the lateral pass from allen by moving in too close at the end

My heart sunk when they converted.  Right then and there I knew this was going to be a 50/50 game with the Bills not having the fortitude to withstand a comeback. 

If you want to see how a winning organization operates look no further than the final drive in  Seahawk/Eagle game Sunday. Third and long for Wilson Eagles have a single TO left. Hand it off and make them burn their last one correct? NO! Go for the jugular and throw that SOB deep to finish em off. That's how you win guys. To watch the Bills gradually sink into a conservative funk the last half was giving me a sense of the inevitable. Another loss or at least a unnecessarily close game. Damn I can't handle watching Gore slam into the line for 1.5 yds on first down any more. Essentially wasting a down.

Josh Allen's fumble needs to be on this list

 

I thought it was a real momentum killer

Yeah, but you seem to be down on most players. Milano made a ton of big plays this year.

Agree. However, that is who he is, a playmaker, and a playmaker makes plays. He misses a bunch of plays, too, which a lot of fans seem to gloss over. Because he is who he is, and was right there, he has GOT to make that tackle and he didn't. That's exactly the kind of play that makes him good to very good and he blew it.

1st and 10 on the 43 in OT. Those two Bills seal their blocks and Allen is still running down the sideline. Game over.

 

That was 100% in the Bills' control.

Jeez. This is going to bother me for a long time. Perfect play design. The game should have been over here.

Yes. He missed that play. Should have made it. He deserves criticism for that play.

It's like they had their eyes closed. Or like they had been paid off to miss the block. I just can't fathom how they didn't see him. How does a defender run through three blockers without being touched? Without even getting a reaction from them? And to top it all off, the defender led with his helmet and initiated contact.

 

Should have been a penalty. Just so much wrong with this play.

It of course was but it was early in the 3rd......these other ones were daggers

IIRC it was the second play of the fourth quarter and they kicked a FG off it, which made it 16-11.

guy was asked to pass 46 times and run a bunch more.  1 turnover is actually phenomenal ball protection given the burden placed on him.

There were a couple passes that probably should have been intercepted, but we're dropped. And he had that near fumble where luckily his knee was down.

 

Also, given that we played extra time in overtime, 46 passes isn't really that many. Know what his pass attempts were by the end of the 4th?

Worst missed blocked in Bills history.

 

But Knox is young and is a heck of a blocking TE. Hopefully, he like the rest of the team, learns from this and advance forward.

I'm shocked there isn't some funny meme/gif on the 3 stooges all missing #41.

The whiffed block/missed assignment by Knox on the run by Allen that would have surely got the Bills into field goal range to win the game.

That's a running play.  They were passing all game.  That's what done them in.

 

/sarcasm

[Rubes]

Glad most folks are agreeing on the missed block.

 

There's also the missed helmet-to-helmet that should have been called on Cunningham on that play, so it's actually a two-fer. That 15-yard penalty would have put us in FG range.

And we really ran that play well all season long too. Allen probably scored. He would have had 2 more lineman in front of him.

 

[transplantbillsfan]

How about this missed opportunity?

God... and it clearly hurt Allen. Wonder if he was concussed on this...
