Glass half full here. Let's acknowledge the good too. Hardy ran a punt return to their 25-30 yd line and we scored a TD not too long after. We can also make a case that we could be 4-0. Lost to the Pats on their last drive. We lost to the Jags by less than a TD after they got to spend 2 weeks in London to get acclimated to the time difference and no jet lag. We could easily be 4-0 in this stretch. JMO.

Great minds buddy

I don't know what the statistics say, but I can't remember another team over the years that's had to defend hail Mary's more than the bills under McDermott. The obvious hail Murray, the hail Mary against the Colts in the wild card, the hail Mary vs the Chargers (I believe the week after the hail Murray) and then again last night. I'm sure there's more, those are just what pops in my head

Exactly what excuse did I make?  You could do with some reading comprehension.  Maybe try Hooked on Phonics?  Never tried it but I've heard good things about it.


So is the interception on Josh or Dorsey?

 

Why bring up the play call on a dumb throw?

you’re focusing too much on the negative. In an alternate take:

1. Evans TD last night was luck with a doink off a helmet right into his hands. 
2. the following 2pt conversion was luck with a tipped ball that happens to land right in the hands of the receiver

3. we literally dropped two pick 6’s yesterday

 

 

As opposed to viewing it as “we should’ve lost this game”, an equally convincing argument can be made that we should’ve won this game 3-38. And no we shouldn’t be 0-4 during this stretch. 

1-1 in the giants and pats stretch seems just right…people sayin we should be 0-2 are being a bit hypocritical.  I do think the win should’ve been against the pats and the lost should’ve been the giants though 
 

They want to correct a call in the giants game but the obviously blown ineligible man downfield penalty has to hold up to make us 0-2?

 

also we got hosed on the jets punt return so things even out as time goes on…we’re about 50/50 on getting helped/hurt by late game penalties which is right where you should be

INT is on Josh. He never saw Winfield on the edge. Even then he should’ve just eaten the sack there or thrown it right at the ground. Instead he basically threw it at Winfield’s helmet. Kincaid was intended receiver and there were 2 players right on him anyway. That play was a complete disaster that should’ve just been a loss of yardage as opposed to an INT. 
 

Crap play. Worse execution.

Both.  Why are you having your player run that after having a shoulder injury as the first play out of that?  Allen could have turfed it too but in the end, it was mostly just a nice play by Winfield.  It's OK to give credit to the D sometimes and not always make somebody have to take the blame on offense. They get paid too on that side of the ball.

McCourty on GMFB said our dbs did what they were supposed to and played it well

Cade Otton got absolutely mugged there by Benford and Rapp.  Shoulda been a flag.  

 

Did you see what Evans did to Poyer?? lol

Why are we rushing 4 guys in these situations is absurd to me.  
 

Put 9 guys back there.  Rush 2.  Should have been doing that from play 1 of the Bucs last possession.  

 

Or do what Schwartz did against Carolina and Cam Newton and blitz so he doesn't have time to even throw it deep...Newton got sacked on that play and it ended the game.

From that distance with that little time remaining i don't hate it.  I'm not going 0 but i think you can rush 5.  Leaves 6 to cover 5 and they likely don't have a play other than everyone get in the end zone.

I agree on this I don’t get why more people don’t blitz in this situation or just rush more. You don’t need LB in this kind of play. Have 6 DB in the end zone and rush 5. Heck have 5 DB’s just standing in the end zone and rush 6. Good luck throwing it 55yds when you have less than 3sec

This is what pisses me off. How can Bucs homers publish this dreck! 

 

Evans would have been called for pushing Poyer down.

 

Then there's this from 2021 that cost Bills home field advantage!

 

I know I posted it a lot here, but not one DPI was called on Bucs when Brady played for them... How can they print this with a straight face!

Depends on the situation - in that one where its like... throwable?  Yes.  When its 1st and 10 with 5 seconds left I'm not sure I'm even rushing anyone.

We were not ready and came very close to a historic embarrassment that would have resulted in torches and pitchforks to fire Clappy.

 

Props to Mayfield for launching it 60 yards in the air. You wonder why TB doesn't air it out more often.

Also shouldn’t Davis and maybe Kincaid be in in that play?

 

Big boys at WR. Vs dinky DB. It’s almost like our coach didn’t have a clue Hail Mary has to be defended differently. Imagine that?

Yeah and Evans completely threw Poyer to the ground... who would have been in position for the INT

How about Mike Evans throwing Poyer to the ground and taking out 2 other Bills?  That's cool tho right?

Total offensive PI but do you really expect the incompetent officials of the NFL to be able to see that let alone have the cojones to call the WR for it? No chance!

 

The Hail Mary was run almost perfectly by the Bucs. They protected their QB, threw the ball long enough to the perfect area, created mayhem for the DBs and had a receiver in the area. The Bills by contrast played it the absolutely worst way possible. No pressure on Mayfield, Nobody ball hawking and confusion abounding allowing a receiver to get separation. It would not be so bad if they weren't beaten by the exact same play in Arizona just 3 years ago. Just another example of bone headed coaching.

Im normally a glass half full guy, but this just furthers my concerns.  Because that is the conundrum, we are barely beating or losing to the only weak teams remaining on our schedule outside Denver and Pats again (who we already lost to).  
 

We should have won all 4 games by double digits, yet we still lost 2 and then barley held on and got lucky on last play of both wins.

The fact that we could have lost that game easily at the end speaks volumes for how bad they played in the second half.  That ball was completely catchable.  it was only luck that won us that game.
