Why didn't Buffalo pull the Harbaugh Maneuver?

[Awwufelloff]

What we should have done was the Harbaugh Maneuver: Tackle/hold all eligible receivers at the snap. You get hit for 5 yard penalty - and 5 seconds roll off the clock. It forces a hail-mary and we win the game. I just don't get it. Mcdermott and Frazier failed miserably there. They also called all their timeouts getting ready for their play. They had time to make these discussions and couldn't do it.

McD is clueless

We should have had 2 or 3 d linemen rushing.

 

Not 4.

 

With 3 d-linemen, you can double every receiver on the field.

 

One can hold/shove them at the line. The other brackets behind for extra coverage.

 

It was really poor defense.

This is like the 4th thread now where this is being discussed.

Coaches like Vrabel, Harbaugh are football savvy. McDermott is not

Watch Kelce run absolutely free on that last play. No one was near him for the first 10-12 yards until he cut easily away from Levi.  Our defense was a joke tonight aside from Ed.

Apparently someone said they closed this loophole in 2017 and the clock gets reset?  Can someone verify the accuracy of that?

Why were the Bills playing like the Chiefs didn't have 3 timeouts? The entire middle of the field was completely open.

how you don't have a LB hitting Kelce at the line is unreal.  You can't let him start his route free.  Yet, we did.  We need an aggressive DC.  Hopefully Frazier is gone.  We have personnel issues in the front 7, but Fraizer did nothing to mask those.

it was just mind blowing.  Stupid prevent D.  no pressure on mahomes, and Kelcie with no one around him.

Is this true, never heard of this.

True. It would have been different if KC had no timeouts. They had all 3! So they played it perfectly. A 19 yard gain to the 44. Then about 15 more would do it. It was not a situation to lay back in a deep zone. That would have been the situation if they had no timeouts, or maybe even just one left. That initial 19 yard gain had me saying "that's it ... we're going to OT and whoever wins the coin flip wins the game." Neither offense could be stopped at the end.

If we just had one more full quarter I swear that Singletary up the middle would have broken it for 80 yards.

Yeah edge rushers were good but not good enough.   It's a tough thing to do but we need to keep drafting an edge guy every year until we find a stud.

I still want to know who Johnson was covering on he outside of the field on that Kelce throw because there was literally nobody there!
