oldmanfan Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Too cute by Daboll. Your O line has to be able to get you a yard.
Maine-iac Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Our kicker has been so good. If we're inside the 40 I am always confused when we don't just kick it. 2

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Wood on the radio call said it was a situation of the Bills (Dabs) getting too cute for the situation and trying to hit a home run if it works, but of course quick pressure on the play meant that instead of a pitch, forced a throw and the rest speaks for itself… 1
Livinginthepast Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 A ridiculous play call under the circumstances and you couldnt have screwed it up more than they did. I dont know why this is so tough, QB sneak!

When they ran it I immediately thought of this play. I remember it vividly cuz I was at that game. I recalled it immediately too and posted the video in another thread on here. it only worked on the Seattle game because Seattle sold out to stop the sneak. The Steelers didn’t and couldn’t because we were at like 4th and almost 2— they stayed disciplined in case we ran the ball. So, I think it is a good play, but was not run in the right scenario today for it to work. 1

Reading between the lines of McDermott’s postgame presser, I think that’s where he is. He said “I need to do better” as though his mouth hurt. I think Daboll earned the right to be left alone to call plays last season, but I think McDermott is gonna be having a “heartfelt chat” with him 1 1 1

When I saw a replay I thought the same thing. Looked like a genius play in a blowout win at SEA that year. I’ll take josh on a 1 yard plunge for a first in that situation. Just get to the line quick, snap and go.
Doc Brown Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Interesting piece from the Athletic on the Steelers anticipating that call...... Tomlin and his staff noticed the Bills ran several fullback dives during the preseason and figured a complement would be for them to pitch the ball outside to a speed back. They practiced that scenario, and it came to fruition at the most critical of times. “That is something that we anticipated,” Tomlin said. “They got in that formation a bunch, four or five times in the preseason. We figured the next phase of it would be to fake it to the fullback and flip that ball out to them. We talked about it, but you can’t take anything away from Cam Sutton for making that play.” “They put some fullback on tape early in the year, and recognizing the play, trying to get the speed guy out in space,” Sutton said.
BobbyC81 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 11 hours ago, Coach Tuesday said: Yes, that Seattle game, but IIRC it was a much tighter formation there. This looked to me like an option pass. It looked like Gilliam was also back there to maybe pass block but by the time he saw the DB it was too late.
Protocal69 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 The play would have worked but the guy that Gilliam was supposed to block (Sutton) was already 7 yards in the backfield by the time Gilliam got into blocking position. So in summary they tried a cute play to get Brieda to the outside
Wayne Cubed Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 (edited) I mean all around it was a horrible play call but why would you motion McKenzie across and bring his defender to the side you are trying to run to? And unsurprisingly the defender that was covering McKenzie made the stop on the play. Just burn it. Edited September 13, 2021 by Wayne Cubed
Straight Hucklebuck Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Slants and outs were open all day. Lining up in these tight formations are 50/50 to squeak out first downs. There was no space to operate because all the Steelers were jammed 1 yard from the line.

I was just so baffled in our propensity to try the trick play, rather than just let Josh be Josh and live or die by him.

This looked like bad playcall in hindsight, but McD's decision to play 4&8 with no offensive rhythm instead of trying 53y FG after he didn't go for two shorter ones was extremely bad decision. I don't remember him making worse in game decision. The wind was so strong against the kick I doubt he makes it from 53. I was at the game Edited September 13, 2021 by MarkyMannn

So in summary they tried a cute play to get Brieda to the outside Gilliam was "watching" Josh as part of the fake, so he was steps behind against a faster player. Coupled with Brieda getting outside faster because he didn't watch and making the block more difficult it really was a hot mess. Plus you're running it at Sutton, who made a lot of plays Sunday.
