DallasBillsFan1 Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 For two weeks in a row the Bills have failed to stop the Hail Mary. Slightly different circumstances but you know where this is heading. Does McDermott have a conversation with Frasier and do they practice for it or even discuss it in the defensive team meetings? It cost us a win and nearly a second. It just seems uncanny that the opposing receivers are getting the ball and Bills defenders cannot knock it away. I'll be curious to see if McD is asked about it.

SCBills Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) I just laughed when they caught it. I have no words. Edited November 30, 2020 by SCBills 1 2 2
PJBrown7 Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 They were in great position on both....I chalk it up to bad luck and not worried about it! 3
Best Williams Available Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Bottom line is the other teams chances of catching it are >>>>better if you are trying to catch it (holding it up in the air) versus spiking the damn thing down like volleyball. Just tell them to do the latter. 1 1

Getting struck by lightning in back to back weeks is more than just bad luck, it’s bad execution. The defensive backs need to get their asses chewed out. 6 2
clearwater cadet Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 The chargers WR dropped the ball on the long pass at the 2 yard line at the end of the game. I don't know how that gets missed by league review/ booth review. 1
ALLEN1QB Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Why not put the tallest players out there to defend it Edmonds 6'6" instead of 5'10 White etc?? All they have to do is stand there and knock it away not rocket science. 1 1

I’m typically as optimistic as you can be and I’m totally fine with the win today, but this is a Bills message board and this topic is a legitimate question. I know it’s a “flukey” play but you’d think after the last game this team would never have that happen again. Hopefully they’re all just getting it out of the system before playoffs... 1

It's completely unacceptable that after losing on the same play in Arizona (who BTW have lost 3 of 4 and only beat the Bills in that stretch) for the exact same thing to happen on a similar play after a bye week. At what point does this coaching staff rip into the team and hold them accountable for such a lack of focus and discipline? They were waiting to hear from "high football IQ" for them to wake up and talk about it. Surely they had no conversation at all after the Arizona game or during the bye week. Thanks for getting their attention. 3 1

This time there were 4 or 5 players around the ball instead of 3...maybe they should get 9 or 10 back there?? 3

I assume the odds of completing a Hail Mary are relatively low (3-5%?) and you are not concerned in the slightest that your team is 100% 2 weeks in a row?

No, not especially. I'm not going to lose sleep over two individual throws. 2

If you count the catch that was called back based on the offensive pass interference call, isn't that 4 Hail Mary completions in 2 games? I can't remember ... is it 4 for 4, or was one broken up in between? Ordinarily I would say that's just dumb luck, but I can't recall a run of bad luck quite like this ... something must be wrong here. 1

All they have to do is stand there and knock it away not rocket science. Put in tall WRs to defend it they know how to catch and/or knock down the ball - it's not like they have to cover someone - they have to stand around the goal line and get to the ball. I remember the Pats putting Moss in as DB to defend last second desperation throws 1
