JESSEFEFFER Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 19 minutes ago, Billy Claude said: Looking at the Jaguar game, the Bills had a 1st and goal from the 3 that eventually became a field goal, a third and 3 that ended up as an interception and a third and 2 which led to -1 yard run and fumble by Allen. So not quite 1 yard to go but still pretty short yardage. Against the Steelers, they had a failed 3rd and 1 flea-flicker, a 3rd and 3 incompletion, a 3rd and 3 run for two yards which led to a failed 4th and 1. There were times last year that I felt more confident they would convert on a 3rd and 7 than a 3rd and 2 (even though I am sure the statistics will probably say that is not true.) Good points. That 4th and 1 play was that funky pitch play that Cam Sutton blew up. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einstein Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 UPDATE short yardage is still a huge problem Can’t get into the endzone on numerous attempts from the 1 yard line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrivefourfive Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 The Chiefs do that Kelce thing. The Bills could do a Knox thing. You have show different looks to get the defense to play honest. Bills don’t do that AT ALL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigDingus Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Conversely, the defense can't stop anyone on 3rd & long... The 2 spots that are supposed to be the easiest to convert, the Bills struggle with. On offense, can't gain 1 yard when we need to. On defense, 3rd & 20 is an automatic layup for opposing offenses for some bizarre reason. Truly a weird dynamic this team has...😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird, since I think Allen was something like 29 out of 30 before that. I personally was hoping for three QB sneaks in a row, if necessary, at the end of the game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einstein Posted October 2, 2022 Author Share Posted October 2, 2022 Our short yardage issues continue. Wonder if the people early on in this thread, who mocked me for being concerned about this when we were scoring a lot, still feel that way. On 9/20/2022 at 2:18 PM, SlimShady'sSpaceForce said: 72 to 17 and you are worried?? 😳 😬 Yes. And you should be too. Because even during blowouts, you can see problems forming. And those problems follow you from week to week. Just like this short yardage issue has. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Wow. This team looks awful. No spacing. Every route there are multiple bills in same area and no separation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maine-iac Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 If we don't run the ball when we are not in 3rd and 1 why would we all of a sudden be great at running when we get in short yardage. We are just a throw all the time team and that makes us predictable on all downs and out of rhythm in short yardage when we actually want to be able to get a yard.

Hebert19 Posted October 2, 2022 Share Posted October 2, 2022 Qb run. That's how we did it last 2 years. Dorsey had been listening to media too much about running josh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And QB sweep was better than that. 0 run so far this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
