10/18/21 Gameday Bills @ Titans Postgame thread

[Worstcaseontario]

We have a good team, it is what it is. Great prime time game either way.

Those ESPN announcers are high fiving each other right now

Mcdermott made the right call going for it, just wasn’t in the cards tonight. I still say Josh had the first on the scramble on the play before.

I thought he had it too

[RichRiderBills]

Tannehill played really good 2nd half. I can't stand that dude.

[Virgil]

We get beat in the trenches all day, so we put the game on the line for a call that everyone sees coming…in the trenches.  
 

Stupid.  Just stupid.  Going for it shows no faith in the defense (which maybe rightfully so). But you don’t know who gets the ball in OT.  
 

Allen can’t slip there, but Dawkins got destroyed.  If you run that play, have an extra blocker.  

[TheFunPolice]

Agree with the call 100%

 

Just didn't work out. If you can't get a foot you don't deserve to win.

Three straight years going to bye with a L.  Last two total gut punches. 

 

Yeah - but we have seen how this team responds.

This is as weird and disheartening a loss as the Hail Murray pass last year before the by week.  I loved that we went for the win but I hated the play call.  We had struggled to handle their interior D line all night.   The QB sneak was a long shot IMO.

I want to say bad offensive playcalling but josh threw for 353 and 3tds haha. The defense allowed points on the last sox possessions. Did the Titans punter come out in the second half? I

pretty much this ^,   needed the D to stop a coupla drives there,   cant expect to keep hanging 30+ on teams and blow them out.    could the O have won it?  sure,  but eventually this stuff catches up with u.

Agreed. Refs are a holes. He clearly landed on the first down line mark.

Bills didn’t even take a sec to look at that one… nor Beasley’s (what I thought was a) touchdown. 

[Draconator]

The ESPN announcers tonight graduated from the Chris Collingsworth School of Sh**ty Announcing

[Livinginthepast]

I dont mind the call on 4th down at all. But to lose like that and break our hearts is way too Classic Bills! Just win the damn game when you had the chance!

[Norcalbillsfan]

We were definitely the better team, but they played exactly how they needed. And Josh missed just enough chances.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

Between the non fg and the weird defensive line choices tonight. Coaching was an issue 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

Our defense was ***** terrible tonight and now we are going to have our work cut out for the 1 seed. If not to get 2 home playoff games. I’m not sure how people feel good about that. Tonight is not good and now we might have to go to Tennessee in the playoffs 

[Green Lightning]

Terrible loss. Oline can't make a foot. Red zone offense awful  and D far from elite. Physical teams always push us around. Penalties are just killer.

What a great game by 2 excellent teams! Too bad we lost but I have no problem with Coach’s call

 

Oh, wow.  I appreciate your view, but I do have a problem with it.

 

Make it: have a chance to score a TD for the win, or if stopped, take a FG as long as we maintain possession

Miss it: walk off loss

 

The Titans had already stuffed Allen on short yardage today, I say take the FG

Allen was overconfident again, often taking chances when better/safer options where there.  Offensive line was, is, and will continue to be a weakness.  The O-line looks good against bad D-units, but will almost always struggle against above average D-units, just like last year.  

The Defense was never 'great'. They are 'good' but their results are more a function of who they played.

These takes on Allen are genuinely confusing me...he had one play where he thought Davis was gonna open up deep and the weak side safety came over to help and he took a sack...that was it. That throw to sanders who beat double coverage was a good decision he just missed him it happens

Coaching after a brilliant game against KC.....one of the worst games ive seen coached since dick jauron

Really? I'm not sure the Bills coaches were bad tonight.
