2nd and GOAL at the 1

[Buffalo_Stampede]

I hate that call. Allen always gets destroyed in short yardage read option calls. The defense just goes all out to Allen.

 

If you’re going to do that go with a straight qb keeper so you have an extra blocker.

 

Im calling a qb sneak though in that situation.

That was all Sean… he has to learn, he is still way too conservative 

 

3rd and 22 and you give up a bomb because you get conservative… you lose to the chiefs because you get conservative 

 

when will he ever learn 

[Cheektowaga Chad]

The previous 2 plays the offensive line was actually getting a push. 

 

I would have loved to see them hurry to get a play off before the 2 minute warning, we had Miami's defense there

Indeed. Wimpy play calls on offense and defense today

If the C to QB exchange isn't working then put Bates at C. I don't think that's a good excuse.

 

2nd and goal and inches away so you put your QB 5 yards back. It just doesn't make any sense. You have to run 5 yards just to get to where you already were

That's called home field advantage. 

 

It's very dangerous on a hot day. As we saw today.

I think being on the 3rd string C played a role in the playcall. C/QB exchange has been shaky under C without Morse

Good point

That’s the only call

the only call

 

You can run that three times and you’re probably gonna score 95% of the time… it’s the only call when you’re that close with the game on the line

Bates was out with a head injury

Yes it deserves its own thread. You have a few inches to go and you are in SHOTGUN? Of course the result of the play is a loss of 2 close to 3 and they need to throw at that point. Discuss

 

And if they run it in or pass it in then this isn't even a thread. You can sit here and say this about all plays that don't work, sometimes coordinators try to outsmart the opposition, it's a game of chess and we lost that match.

Why did Frazier only rush 3 on 3rd and 22? Frazier and Sean never learn on these 3rd and long

You don't pass it on 2nd and 1 at the goal line. That's the point. It's not a high percentage play

[SCBills]

The 3rd down defensive call to rush 3 and not going for it on 4th and 4 were “feel” moments where I feel like the coaches didn’t have a grasp.  
 

We were getting pressure on Tua.  Rushing 3 was a cowards move and let them expose our safeties. 
 

Up 3 didn’t feel much different than up 6.  Bills were driving and it felt like a TD, up 10 would change the entire complexion of the game. 

[Awwufelloff]

Where’s the Brady qb sneak, it always worked for him. Allen is bigger and faster.

I think that was more mcd trusting bass. Kind of a easy shot for a kicker like bass in perfect weather conditions for a kick. I trusted bass to make that, and if he did we win and no one says anything about it.

Yep. True. Bad call. But even after that Josh has Isaiah wide open for a touchdown. 

 

Too many mistakes. Players and coaches. But offensive line again is the theme that stands out

There is ONE Beane draftee on the o-line and he was benched today for sucking.

And that's the chess match I was referring to, it's not a high percentage play and the thought was probably the defense won't be expecting a pass, it didn't work out in our favor this time. If it did work out would this even be a thread? I'm just giving my opinion not hating on your thread or trying to argue about the play.

[Malazan]

Not a good call, but I disliked the two straight Moss runs on 1st and 2nd down early in the game more

Rather not.

 

This team has no feel of when they should pound it with the RB's and when they should let Allen try to make a play. And yes, the lack of runs from under center on short yardage plays is concerning.
