83 yard run. Sean McDermott made an interesting comment.

I saw it and am aware of what happened. 

I also know that if he called a timeout every time something like that happened, he'd be out of them in about a quarter.

And to call a timeout on a play that starts at the damn near goal line of the opponent where in any other world a player doesn't break a 9999 yard run? 

 

He was right not to call it.

 

And this is why I wanted Klein to start the season to mix in reps.

LBs should have seen that.  

Anyone. Poyer? Micah? Someone. Coaches.

That’s the exact time you call timeout. This exact moment.

When there is next to no chance of that breakout play happening and Hall hadn't yet really started to get hot? Nah, unfortunately, I don't think so.

Yeah, they definitely couldn’t block our pass rush. Rodgers would’ve been running for his life.

 

We pretty much got to him on every play he was in, right?

Next to no chance you say?

We wouldn't be talking about this if White makes the tackle.

Yeah, in particular Rousseau was immediately all up in people's ***** right off the snap in that first series.

He blitzed the whole second level of the defense on that play. I agree we should be more aggressive compared to the last few years but there is no way Zach Wilson is driving 95 yards for a score

He was looking for a defensive score

His first, but not last, missed tackle of the night.

[shane nelson]

New LB calling the D plays does not help either

Just had to get this off my chest because I’m just now listening to some postgame comments.

 

McDermott said they were misaligned on the big 83 yard run.

 

McDermott is never shy about using timeouts, we all know this. It’s kind of a running joke around here. But when he sees his defense outmatched due to alignment he doesn’t call timeout?

 

This is the type of coaching that loses games. 😡

 

BTW, other than for generalities, we know that McD isn't going to say anything specifically to implicate himself in any of the team's most significant faults.

Did I imagine the Bills signing Poona Ford this offseason?

 

I didnt see him on the field and he's not in the box score

It’s a waste of a timeout in that situation.

[Chicharito]

Of course it was misaligned bernard was in the field.

Four plays; each time.

My guess is that this one falls on Bernard, who possibly didn't recognize the overload and didn't get them to slide up front.

And who also buried himself inside where Rousseau was being buried by a double and left Tre White isolated outside with contain responsibility.

The LBs were misaligned. They should all have shifted over to the right.

I think the whole Front 7 should have been a gap to their left

I was wondering this myself. I didn't think it was possible for a 300+ pound DT to be invisible, but Ford managed it (if he played that is)

[bigduke6]

meh,  was a blitz,  and they got caught.  happens all the time.   thats the chance you take with sending extra guys,  thats the difference in Frasier and McD.    Frasier was more careful.   both styles of D have their positives and negatives.   everybody wanted more pressure,  well,  sometimes long plays happen from it.
