Bermuda Triangle Posted October 22, 2021 Posted October 22, 2021 On 10/19/2021 at 8:46 PM, wagne591 said: To me the turning point in the game was in the forth quarter after the Titans kicked a FG which made the score BUF 31 TENN 27. At that point the Bills were in control and poor play calling and decisions by Allen were our heal. The Bills got the ball and after a first down to Diggs it set up a 1st and 10 at the Bills 37 yard line with 8:59 left on the game clock. Now at this point in the game with a 4 point lead a FG drive would have worked but a TD would have put it away. Instead what do the Bills do. On first down Allen was trying to go deep but instead gets sacks for a 7 yard loss (he did have Sweeney wide open to his right side which probably would have been a 6 to 8 yard gain on 1st down instead it was 2nd and 17). On second down with 8:38 left in the game Allen goes deep again and throws into double coverage for Sanders in the middle of the field luckily it feel incomplete. On 3rd and 17 with 8:14 left on the clock we had to go deep and Allen threw it out of bounds to Jake. At that point we still had the lead but it felt to me like we loss the game. Unlike our drive last week against the Chiefs in a similar situation we had a great time consuming drive to win the game. I disagree that the Bills were "in control" at that point. The defense, at that point, had allowed 5 straight scoring drives to the Titans, and I'm sure that the guys on offense were thinking "We need 7 here, not 3". The defense blew this game. 31 points should be enough to beat the Titans. 1 1 Quote

Find me a team that wins a game that lets the opposing team score on 6 straight drives from the 2nd half to the final kneel down. The Bills D was not up to the task, you can't let an opposing team score pts very single drive in the 2nd half on and expect to win. There are so many things that we can analyze after the game and identify that could have gone right for us to win. The fact that we still had a chance to win the game with 30 seconds to go was good enough. Gone are the days where we sleep walked in the 4th quarter because we had no chance against a GOOD team. 1 Quote

Single out 1 O drive and call it the game? How about stop 1 in 6 drives or even 2 for no pts and keep the O where it was and what is the outcome? 1 Quote
Passepartout Posted October 23, 2021 Posted October 23, 2021 Hopefully that they will kick the FG in games like these, just saying! Quote
