BillBrasky Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Fourth quarter, 20-10 Steelers, 3rd and goal for the Bills. Allen makes a rookie mistake and quickly locks onto the receiver in the right flat. The Steelers defense watches his eyes and shifts to cover. Allen makes a second mistake and throws to the line of scrimmage with two Steelers defenders between the receiver and the goal line. The Bills fails to score and settle for a field goal. The best play was actually on the other side. The receivers run a crossing route, the Steelers defenders blow the coverage and leave a wide open receiver heading to the corner of the end zone. 2 1

He did miss a chance there, but even if we scored there that made it 20-17. Steelers march down for another 3, making it 23-17 we still need 6 on our final drive... and we stalled on 3rd down. It would have given us at best one more shot at the endzone to win the game.
Bob in STL Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 The game was almost decided by this play. We needed two scores plus an onside kick to get the ball back. Odds were extremely low by this play. The problem was we needed 6 and we sent 1 guy into the end zone. They covered the play.

He missed a lot of things yesterday. It was very odd
CaptnCoke11 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 The game was lost when the ball was kicked off with that stupid offensive game plan 4
Wsam4031 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 the game turned on the garbage holding call on white that he picked. as soon as that happened the whole game shifted in Pitts favor 5 5 2
BillsFan130 Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 Ya he definitely rushed that one. I think the pass rush all Game was getting to him and caused a few decisions like this. 1 1

We didn’t stall on third down. It was first and 20 when they decided to kick the final FG. The poster is right. The bigger issue is running twice when it was first and goal from the ten yard line.

That series on first and ten from the goal line drove me nuts. Never go run heavy when it’s basically first and ten and the defense is defending an extremely short field—especially when the qb runs aren’t really working except when in scramble mode. 2 1

Flashes of brilliance, and a lot of head scratchers. 7 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Ah - you are correct. That last few minutes is hazy. I was too annoyed by that point. Annoyed is a great word. I'm still annoyed. McDermott always says something like "we have to get better, and that starts with me." I'm sure he said it yesterday, but I haven't listened. And it's true. My sense was that there were a lot of players out there unprepared to play.

They had bad days. That happens. 1

Didn’t Kelly and some other greats throw up before games, albeit in the locker room? I’m not saying it happened, just looking to confirm what I heard from a couple people around me.

dorquemada Posted September 13, 2021 Posted September 13, 2021 28 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Allen sucked yesterday. 2019 Josh Allen. A toxic mix of Allen sucking and terrible play calling. Where were the crossing routes? You've got Beasley, Diggs, and Davis, why not use them? 1

I'm pretty sure Josh said in an interview at one point that he throws up before every game, not on the sideline though. 1

Jim Kelly threw up before every game. So does Lionel Messi, London Fletcher, Justin Tuck etc.... 1
