I have no idea how you prepare for 10 injuries and almost not being able to field a full team. But hey, if you need to vent that's fine. Nothing to do with the thread..... I said the end of game coaching has not been good. This happens over & over and is not a one off. The game was there to be won in the last 2 minutes with a FG and they did not execute.

Maybe we should start one about Beane The OL is still subpar. Maybe its just me but it seems like there isn't a worse team in the league in short yardage situations then the Bills. Take the end of the game 2nd and goal from the one. Pound it in there with Singletary or Moss. Why have Allen throw it on 3rd down. 4th down I get throwing but try to pound it in there a couple of times. I think only the Bengals and Giants have worse OL's. Allen covers up for them with his ability to scramble to avoid the rush otherwise he would be getting the Burrow/Jones treatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not miserable, stating an opinion. The last 2.5 years the Bills have been dreadful in late game situations, often making bad decisions or not having situational awareness (i.e. McKenzie on Sunday). I'm not sweating the loss, just lamenting wasting what should have been a comfortable win. And I asked a question, which on p.4 still has not been addressed. However pithy, sarcastic responses are all over. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoMAn Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 (edited) In their defense, these are humans and they were physically and mentally exhausted. If I'm busy doing yard work in the Atlanta heat and humidity, I'm spent after an hour. Granted, I'm not as young or in great physical shape as the players are, but they are exerting themselves at full speed in heat, sunshine, humidity, with barely a breeze. It was described as feeling like 124 degrees on the field. The Dolphin players having shade on the sidelines (as opposed to direct rays all afternoon) may be the 2 point differential right there. Add to that the cohesiveness that was lost as they had to call on 2nd and 3rd string players on short notice. If they had a mental or physical lapse, I can't blame them. Those men gave it everything they had. I believe the short pass to McKenzie that should have been 6 points, can be attributed to Josh simply running on fumes. In my estimation, he lost the acuity and concentration needed for the proper mechanics to place the ball McKenzie's reach. The mind and body were no longer in sync.

This is a fairly serious issue imo, where the Bills can't seem to win close games, often too having the ball in Josh Allen's hand at the end of games. I thought minimum a FG attempt was a given based on having the ball on the 25 and 1:33 on the clock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think a better question or metric to track is “when the Bills are behind and need a score to win late in the 4th, how often do they succeed or fail?” Honestly going back go 2020 only the Rams game fits that description and we needed a Herculean effort by Allen and a very iffy illegal contact call. Most of the other games were one score, but really it was just garbage time stats by the other teams to make it seem more respectable. The “one score game thing” is kind of a mirage, but I will say since we got hexed by the Hail Murray we just can’t seem to put together a clutch drive late in the fourth to take the lead when we need it. The Bills always come up juuust short. I guess 20 years of watching Brady do that ***** constantly just has me thinking it should be easier than it seems.

eball Posted September 27, 2022 Share Posted September 27, 2022 Personally, I think 20 straight double-digit wins and 8 straight opening drive TDs speaks more to the overall preparation of the team than an 0-7 streak in one-score games that is clearly an anomaly.

For Josh Allen specifically, I count the Chiefs playoff game last year. He was clutch and he was let down by the special teams and defense. 4 minutes ago, Gugny said: I can't think of anything John Ritter wasn't great in.
