Don’t like that timeout by Minny. 
If they could’ve stopped the 4th down, they have 13 seconds to go 15 yards, call TO, then kick. 
 

instead, they blow the TO, give NYJ time to reassess, and they change up play and kick for 3. 


Stupid the Vikings did not run the ball with 40 seconds left.   Threw an incompletion and got their QB hurt.
 

Should have just killed the clock.  They are playing like the Bills today.   Letting their opponent have hope.

Hodgins runs the Diggs route from the outside, gets open for the Giants touchdown.

 

Must be nice to have a big target with great hands for the red zone.

 

This might end up being a blemish on the McBeane program.  They put time and patience into this guy and then exposed him, knowing full well he’d be on other teams radar.

I am not sure MN used the clock as well as they could have that series before kicking their FG and giving the ball back. Could not drain a minute and change off the clock?

 

One thing the Bills have done well is capitalizing on what little time is left on the clock in the 1st half and doing a bit better preserving the lead in the 2nd half lately. There was a few series against these same MN Vikings where we had the lead and Dorsey came out in the 3rd passing and we were pitching 3 and outs. Got a lot of criticism for that, and that could have been managed better.... 

I get staying aggressive, but you have to balance that with being smart and strategically sound defending a lead. The same goes for defense where Frazier's worst moments seem to be when he drifts too far into positioning our defense to play on their heals defending down and long distance or defending a lead. In those instances I think we take away something that is working and substitute something that may not.

 

Its a theory.

Stop being a prisoner of the moment…….Hodgins was nothing special here!

 

We had to go out and sign John Brown to the roster this week and Khalil Shakir has 8 catches on the season.
