MikeSpeed Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I'll just say we did not give any tape for the next team to learn from. But we do have a next team to face. 1 1
GunnerBill Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 On the QB runs.... I don't hate the called QB draw. I do hate the called QB sweep. 5

I'll pay more attention, bit since there's now a McKenzie thread, looks like I'm not the only one that missed it.
Malazan Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I think the Colts are the team that best matches up against the Bills. Colts are top ten in 3 phases and coaching. Special teams was the worst. Bills were backed with long fields and the Colts had short field on like 80% of their drives. It was a really, really bad day for special teams. Poor tackling, poor blocking, and bad decisions. 1 1
Nick the Greek Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 37 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: I don’t know what Daboll was thinking today. He went back to the early in the season mindset and making head scratching calls, trying to force the run when it wasn’t there, too conservative at times, and went with too many called QB runs. We are a passing team, and when he turned it loose we moved the ball with ease. I really hope Daboll goes back to what we have scene all during the second half of the season. This is a garbage take. The bills offense scored 27 points! (Enough to win). special teams on the other hand.. that’s where the blame lies. in the first half every time Josh took over it was inside the 10. That’s not Dabolls fault. 2
Big Gun Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I agree this was a poor game by Daboll but I was way more disappointed with the defensive gameplan. That side was atrocious. For all intents and purposes the Colt and Reich beat themselves today.
y2zipper Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Brown and Beasley weren't healthy either and with McKenzie also hurt, it explains why they tried to move away from the wr-centric gameplan we usually see. Hopefully that extra rest we get now helps that some.

Solid take - the Colts were a TOUGH match-up for the Bills (regardless of whether anyone wanted to believe that, my included - I thought we'd throw all over them). But a top D, a good run game, strong coaching; anyone that thought a Playoff win agains them would be a walk in the park, was kidding themselves... And the first half field position, really helped write the story of that game. Sucked. It happens. We overcame. But we DID win, 0 style points, 27, um score, points! I'll take the close win every game, for the next three games... Edited January 9, 2021 by Heitz

The field position in first half hurt, but Daboll called a head scratcher we should easily had 4 to 7 more points at the end coming down to a Hail Mary was ridiculous...

That side was atrocious. For all intents and purposes the Colt and Reich beat themselves today. This take doesn't strike me as particularly accurate. The defense didn't look good, but held the Colts to ten points in the 1st half despite the Colts getting great field position the whole half. The Bills had two scoring drives, but couldn't sustain their other drives and were going 3 and out against a run heavy team. That's going to wear the defense down. The defense should have played better, but they were also put in a difficult position. They came up with a goal line stop and stopped the last drive. So despite their struggles, they did come up in big moments against a top 10 offense. 1
Lagoon Blues Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 I think indy deserves as much credit on d as daboll deserves ridicule. 1

HOUSE Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 (edited) This is why Brian Daboll is on the hot seat and will most likely be fired by morning . Edited January 10, 2021 by HOUSE 1
Motorin' Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 1 hour ago, Billznut said: Our biggest obstacle today was our god awful defense. Not sure which game you watched. The D had a huge goal line stand in the first half. They definitely buckled later in the game, but I thought the O shot themselves in the foot trying to run it so much. If we could have gotten out to a 2-3 score lead it would have made them one dimensional.
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Our d line is is pretty small by standards? Don’t we rely on speed in up front to get pressure on the qb. It seemed like even 5-6 couldn’t get to Rivers. I’d be curious to know how our line has fared against teams with bigger lineman. It seemed like our linebackers and secondary were running around with their heads cutoff at times.
Jerry Jabber Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Running it three times in a row was terrible! Reminded me of last season! The Bills aren’t built to run the ball.
boater Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 Stop self flagellating. Frank Reich is an awesome football mastermind and coach. We beat one of the best their is. The Bills are fine.
Wayne Cubed Posted January 9, 2021 Posted January 9, 2021 1 hour ago, GunnerBill said: That is true and I give Daboll a bit of a pass for that. But the bizarre playcalling continued into the 2nd half. I thought the adjustment at half would have been to go to dink and dunk. The safeties were playing so deep and daring us to run. And we know we can’t run, so take the short stuff. Death by a thousand paper cuts. They kept running deep routes, which cause some of the late sacks. 2
