NFL Week # 16 - Bills at Bears - post game thread

[What a Tuel]

I wonder where my wife gets the negativity from (and I found its a reddit game day thread) but the 1st half game day thread on here is just as toxic. 

 

So much negativity like we are going to lose the division unless we beat the pats which assumes 3 things 1) We already lose today, 2) we already lose to the bengals, 3) the fish win out.

 

What a loser mentality. Hang in there through the whole game. Sheesh.

Yeah it's pretty crazy at times...

 

Look at the Bills D after the opening drive...

 

Bears ran 51 plays for 145 yards for an average of 2.8 yards per play.

 

Just dominating effort by the Bills D. And that includes a 44 yard pass into double coverage that should have been picked off.

I missed the 4th quarter.  What was the deal with the TD pass with a minute left?  Were they running it up?

It looked like Knox was trying to go down at the 1 yd line, but there were lazy Bears players around him and his momentum carried him into the endzone.

I looked on a Bears message board and they thought so.

suggestion: avoid the gmdt altogether. I give a big "go bills" and never step in that, as you said, toxic environment again.

Probably wanted Josh to get another for the stat sheet.

It was 4th down so run or pass they had to get the first.

Expand  

It was in FG range, but I think with the day our kicker was having, the percentages were probably better trying to convert the 4th and run clock.

 

Our kicker was apparently not alone today in having issues.

Biggest game of the year next week.  We lose to Cincy and it's a good chance we play the Chargers.  That could be scary!!

Always a tough spot. Kicking a field goal on 4th and 4 sucks too. RPO on 4th and three not the worst call. You can’t ask the Bills to take a knee there. 

[Billsfan1972]

Well the Bills got their first int in 6 games.  And we can thank Nathan Peterman......😜

James Cook was named as having the top Rookie performance today on NFL Red Zone

I'll be interested to see what speed mph Motor and Cook were clocked by Next Gen on their TD runs.

Yep.   Slip from first to third, probably get only one home playoff game.    Ironing out the offensive game plan kinks and miscues is Huuuuuuuuuuge this week.

Involving the same guy.    BB's time has passed but I'm sure he'll have nightmares about Rhamondre Stevenson for a long, long time...

Well then the Bears shouldn't have been calling TOs.  If you're not willing to let the clock run, you forfeit the right to complain when you get another TD hung on you.  

[Roundybout]

I really appreciated how the coaching staff tried really hard to get Cook a 100-yard rushing game.

I actually think Knox might have been told to get down before the EZ if he had the first - if you look at the play it almost looks like he tries to slide as soon as he catches it - but he was already in the EZ.

Chicago brought that on by calling a timeout with less than a minute to go in a game everyone was freezing their asses off and wanting to get off the field.
