I’ve seen enough of Von Miller. Put him back on the IR and see where we are in 4 weeks.

I think I heard that you can't put a player on IR twice, they're out for the year after the second time.

How? Then tampa kicks a field goal with 1 second left as they have nothing to lose.

 

He forced a punt by calling that Timeout 

As it was, the Bucs were going to have to scramble to the line and kick a rushed 59 yarder.

 

I can’t tell you why they didn’t go for the FG there. Pretty gutless by Bowles. The guy just hit a 57 yarder.

Good first half for the offense. 1 fluke play and a horrendous series inside the 1 from Dorsey. Defense has to get off the field on 3rd down.

Man... Josh is hurt. Seems like every time they show him he's clenching his fist and shaking his arm

Andy Reid, he knows how to manage a team and is offense oriented. 

Didn’t know he was available, but great, let’s get him!

Great time out by mcdermott.  Should’ve been earlier but once he saw the Fg unit come out he made the right call

The defense has given up a 20 yard TD and a 57 yard FG, and they gave the ball back to the offense at the Tampa 20 yard line.  What more could you reasonably expect?

Some of the worst offenses in football not marching up and down the field in back to back to back weeks.  They blew contain on a screen pass for big yardage the first play when the bucs took over after the int lol. It’s just a guaranteed td when a bad opposing offense hits the 23? Something is very wrong with your defense if that’s the case

Fitz for OC.

Fitz REALLY nailed the problems Dorsey has with play calls. 

Yep. Dorsey has no feel for what’s going on in the game.

It got tipped by the defender he threw the ball directly at. What are you talking about?

He tried to throw it to Kincaid…..go take a bathroom break 🙄

He wasn't on IR he was on PUP

He didn’t panic and it ain’t that serious ……you guys act like that whole scenario cost us points or something……relax!

Bad in-game management especially around defensive TOs is a trend with McDermott. It’s one of his biggest weaknesses IMO.

They didn't kick it because the timeout was called.  They were going to if there wasn't going to be any time left.

Exactly. I don't understand what people don't understand. The timeout was 100% the right call.

 

It wasn't like they were trying to rush the FG team on with 8 seconds and no timeouts. They had 20 seconds. If the clock would've kept running, they'd have kicked it because they have nothing to lose at that point. 

 

Once you call the TO, then if they miss it, they're giving the ball to Josh Allen at midfield with about 15 seconds and 2 timeouts. Pretty much automatic points for the Bills at that point.

Deshaun Watson would advise him to take it easy.

It’s like he overthinks the easy plays and makes them even more difficult.

[BillsClinton]

Can anyone summarize Fitz's analysis? Missed it.

Then call TO right away. He waited

 

So first you're going to yell at him for calling it.

Then you're going to yell at him for not calling it fast enough.

You have no idea what's going on around you, do you?

Yeah seems like he has a sprained shoulder.  Isn’t that was reported? Or no?

The big question is why did our moronic coach call a timeout so early?
