TB / Buffalo Postgame thread

[DapperCam]

We actually scored less than last week, and the defense gave up an end of game TD drive, and almost another one.

Thought we were behind the sticks due to penalties on the last two 24-10 drives.  Thought it sloppiness as much as conservative playcalling.

 

This is actually a pretty good football team when it doesn't take penalties.

WTF was that timeout on defense 

The first one made since after repeated 4th down penalties extending the drive.

This is a big win. Wasn't pretty at the end. Bills still have to do some cleaning up but the win is important.

 

The offense looked really different tonight. I mean that in a good way. Many players got involved, yards after the catch, Josh running, creative offense with motion, etc...

 

The defense played well. Still having problems with the screen passes. Looked better stopping the run. Oliver makes a difference. Wish the pass rush could have gotten to Baker more 

 

Special teams looked good except for the penalties. Harty caught my eye with some nice returns. Great punts to pin the Bucs.

 

That hail mary pass was heart stopping scary.

I’ll take 5-3 but man McDermott let one of the best players in football pick up a freaking yard

I will defend McDermott. I think he viewed TB offense as so little of a threat, he played conservatively. If we were out there playing KC, we would be going for it on all those 4th downs.

 

that’s the best I got.

 

yes. And since they won he gets to be right 

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

It just feels like McD is a chicken ***** coach. I would like to sue him step on a team’s throat and give them no chance for a victory.

[Man with No Name]

you don't fire mcD unless you have a replacement in mind. 

 

Jim Harbaugh?

Dorsey called an incredibly good game today.  Like very very good.

Yeah the 3rd and 4th and goal from the 1 play calls were exceptional.  Also big fan of that Diggs 1 yard out play that has gained 10 yards on 10 tries.  He had 4 chances to go up 3 scores and put up 0 points in the 4th.  That…is not good.

This team is incapable of closing a game out. Can't make that vital 1st down or can't get off the field. Bonehead penalties on 4th down stops. We go ultra conservative and make what should be a solid win into a white knuckler.  We do this over and over. Great teams finish. We cannot. 

THIS!

[Casey D]

They just needed a win.  They got it.  People, they are the worst,

A good team dominates that game. They put their foot down and stomp that team. Tampa is a 6 win team. They nearly won. This is not the team of the last few years. This team is a 9 win team.

I see we are continuing away from facts and instead proving opinions.

 

If we are trying to force opinions as fact, prove to me McD doesn’t go for it on 4th and short up 14 against the Chiefs in a playoff game?  Because his past has shown he would.  He sat back because he didn’t respect Mayfield.  It worked in the end, it just made the game closer than most wanted

Adam Schein said it best on his podcast. He loves the talent on offense and loves JA as a generational talent. 

 

But, this team win never win anything as long as Sean McDermott is the HC.

 

Sadly, I'm starting to believe it. He is way to conservative and predictable, especially in crunch time when you have to salt away a game.

Agree. Return of the RPOs, and lot of other nice things we used to do in 2020 when we had Beasley.

 

Shakir is the new Cole.

I'm a pretty good driver when I don't crash, but if I crash all the time I'm not that great a driver

Offense still looked good beyond that. Just needed to go for in on 4th and 2

a few times.

No, not  against TB.  But Definitely against KC, Philly and SF.

[Since1981]

The dumb attempts at jumps on 4th down. These have to have an actual play at times to support the threat

[Billz4ever]

I would be willing to bring in a guy simply for clock management at this point.
