Billz4ever Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 23 minutes ago, unbillievable said: Going up 24-7 was challenging GB to a shootout. The Bills defense was playing for a shoot out. GB just said, "no thanks. I'm happy to just run out the clock and go home with a moral victory." Makes perfect sense. Even the announcers were confused why GB was running the Ball. "never interrupt an enemy when he's making a mistake." When was this? GB was doing what worked since their receivers are their weak link. Frazier was playing like we were playing the Curt Warner Rams. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm wondering if this has to do with Someone losing to Aaron Jones in fantasy... That, and most people had Buffalo -10.5 or -11. Which I believe is leading to a lot of the angst we are seeing today.

Do they do nothing well or something well, I'm confused by your responses. You also said they hang on to the ball well, which is not true. Entering the game they had a pretty even TOP with their opponents. Much was made of them not using the running game Entering last night, yet you think they do it well. OK....whatever floats your boat. Relatively speaking that’s what they do best to clarify as their two best players are their RBs. I never said they hang on the ball well. I said that needs to be their game script to win this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it was frustrating to see some missed tackles, but watching the Packers have only 1 possession in the 3rd quarter was stress relieving.

I'd rather my offense bleed and run out the clock then let them run against nickel and burn clock. It just seems backwards. Because if you switch up the Defense to stop the run - then you allow GB to move toward more passing. They did not care if GB was running the ball because it was eating clock and keeping the Nickel kept them from passing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Bills, I thought we’d win by double digits but there’s so much garbage time and prevent in the NFL that >10 points is tough to win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Packers were slowly drinking poison with their offensive play calling and he was letting them. Agreed. I have to believe that, being up 17, we made the calculated choice to stay in Nickel and invite the run to let them kill their own clock. There was one defensive series in the second half where GB drove to our 35ish and ran it on 4th where we ended up stacking the box and stuffing it for a two yard loss. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the defensive scheme overall, but they did more than enough throughout the game to get the W.

What a plan! Man, did Frazier get out-schemed! Doing what worked and losing the game. You can't make this stuff up. The Bills just took the ball out of the reigning back-to-back MVPs hands, and let's be honest he still is the best player on that team, and turned them into a running team. But, it's what they do best 🙄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rochesterfan Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 2 hours ago, Big Turk said: Most games they do very well. This game it seemed they were afraid of Rodgers throwing deep on them and refused to get out of nickel and were willing to trade off getting gashed in the run game and GB using lots of clock to honestly accomplish not much of anything as it turned out for that peace of mind. Even with GB running the ball well, it never felt like they were in the game. Because being up by 17 - the only thing that could beat them was Rodgers passing the ball. They just do not care about Stats - they care about the win and running the ball down 3 scores was giving the Bills the win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It literally says that in my post. I have absolutely no idea what green bays time of possession is relative to the other league lol so I have no idea if they are good or bad at TOP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
