10/18/21 Gameday Bills @ Titans Postgame thread

[UKBillFan]

I expected to go into the bye 4-2 prior to the season and we have yet… it’s our own doing. We threw the game against both the Steelers and the Titans, who are no better than average teams. When I see what the Cardinals and Ravens are doing at the moment do I think we’re Super Bowl contenders. I really have my doubts - we’re still too weak where it matters.

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

 

 

 

That kind of thing can be debated forever.  I get the opposite view.

 

But if you asked me the basic question, "would you rather have a coach who goes for the win, or goes for OT," and I didn't know anything else, I'd take the former every time.

The OL in general had a poor game

its just easy to piss all over the Bills,  small markets dont really matter to the national media.  its better for them to cater to the bigger markets,  even though Nashville is considered a small market,  its a bit more popular than Buffalo.

Glad there's only one Henry in this league, but man, we'd better have our chinstraps on tighter next time. The weird thing is, even though we lost, I always felt like we were the better overall team, and moving the ball at will until the end, just kept shooting ourselves in the foot in several key situations. Hope this turns into the hail Murray effect for us, where now the bear got poked and we rattle off W's the rest of the way... 

Chances are with our schedule, we were gonna rattle off wins anyway. I'm trying to figure out what's more disgusting, being beaten by another Tannesuck team, or that sorry assed forward pass Vrabel called

I blame the coaching.  We only rushed 4 on passing plays, but didn’t have our best pass rushers out there.  Why is Zimmer playing so much on passing downs.  

 

I knew something would be wrong when we benched Epenesa AND Basham. I don't like Obada at all.

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.

 

On the call at the end, you go for it there. If that game goes to overtime, it's basically a 50-50 chance of you winning/losing.  You basically have a chance to come close to winning it right there on the 4th down.  I think getting the first and then getting a TD there was better than 50-50....they just didn't do it.

BS

We got bullied in the trenches. Tannehill was the most sacked QB coming into today and you’d never know it based on how little pressure we got. 
 

For as good as Groot has looked at times this year, he doesn’t get much pressure coming off the edge. Same with the rest of our ends. 
 

The o-line is going to be a problem all year for us. They are lucky Josh is one of the best in the world and his elite play makes everyone forget about the pressure they give up. 
 

I don’t hate going for the win there and once Josh got under center the play call was obvious. The o-line just couldn’t get a block.

 

Ran with a heavy package, but Hughes and Addison really did not play well.

… or dial up a touchdown play. One or the other. The sneak, which usually is the right call, was situationally not the right call.

[Cheektowaga Chad]

People can continue to hate my thoughts but you have the "number 1 defense" chance to take the game to ot with an offense that was driving the ball into the red zone at will tonight. Take it to it and win in ot

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

Wrong.  Josh played his balls off and the defense let the team down.

[BigDingus]

Also, we should've predicted it would be close.

 

All the prime time games this year have come down to the wire (aside from SNF last week 😁)!

Yeah, but Spencer Brown ... ouch. He had a rough, rough night.

[Norcalbillsfan]

Wouldn't have minded a hard count, ya you might jump yourself but those DLs were coming hard I think they jump there. If you don't get it timeout, then sneak. If you mess up and jump, FG

[MiltonWaddams]

I watched it on PVR, so delayed. Just finished and am quite angry. The spot on Josh’s jump was crap, they didn’t check it on the tape and then Daboll’s play call with the game on the line was terrible as was the blocking.

[ngbills]

How many sacks? How many stops in the second half? How many wasted plays? Bad Daboll. Bad Allen. Bad McD. Are we the team that loses in the 1st playoff game as a 1 seed.

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 

I'm not sure what is confusing.  There were plenty of his incompletions or scrambles where they didn't get the first down...and there were guys wide open underneath or even just past the sticks.  Check out a replay of the game or the All-22 and you will see it.

Just hand the ******* ball off 

With the game on the line I want the ball in Josh’s hands.

[The Jokeman]

I hate to lose but it happens, there's a reason it's a called a game of inches. Yet will still question the spot on 3rd down.
