Gonna have to disagree here.

 

The idea that we played this right, when the Chargers had 7 blockers against 2 Bills players, just because Benford was almost past his block and maybe had the opportunity to maybe make the tackle, is wrong in opinion.

If he misses that tackle, who is stopping him from scoring a TD? No need for a FG obviously.

 

Here is the part I think you’re referencing:

 

 

 

What if he doesn't get him really? What if he ***** flies to the endzone? What are we doing here. We had a guy there to make the play, hell the other guy we can see in the carefully cropped shot is also free and probably going to be able to effect the play. Also the rest of the defenders on the field aren't going to do nothing as he runs 80 yards down the field. Only 2 Bills becomes a lot less true pretty damn quick if it even is true.

Bills had 2 guys deep (and they were on the other side of the field). Regardless, 6 blockers > 2 guys deep.

 

If you think McD was happy with that, and is not going to get that fixed this week, we can agree to disagree

Not happy? Gonna get it fixed? 

 

Those are hard maybes.

So now you're telling me there were 2 more guys further down the field, this wasn't *****.

That Allen throw was unreal. Essentially, it was the game winner. Won’t hear the media say a word about it tho because they hate 17.

 

have a few BILLS fans on here still throwing shade on the kid. Remarkable.

 

We are spoiled rotten with him as our QB. Don’t blink.

 

I said it before, some people are so focused on the mistakes they aren't appreciating the amazing parts of Josh Allen. We will long for these days soon enough.

Plus the rest of the 11 running in from the other side who were at or ahead of that guy

Do you think the term “new coach energy” is representative of the coaches facial expressions and excitement level in the sideline?  🤣 
 

🍿 watching you chime in to combat every post that you quote even when you have no clue

 

it's a myth.  you think this team was supercharged by the ascension its outside LB coach?

 

you watch too much Hallmark TV perhaps?

But what if they didn't make the play though?

I'm sure McD wouldn't have been happy and he would've gotten it fixed!

Add me to the camp that thinks there is a bit too much drama about “how close” the chargers were on that last gasp attempt. Bills had more deep than the stills ITT show. Benford beat his block. And Cam Lewis had the angle even though he isn’t in the stills.

Yeah, those guys who were 45 yards away were going to come and make the play.

 

Jee, why didn’t that work in the music city miracle 🙄.

 

 

If only the others had come to save the day!

Miami isn’t winning both games against Dallas and Ravens, might not win either one.  But I do think Miami follows Bills blueprint and just runs all day on Dallas, so if Miami is to win one of them, I think Dallas is the one they have the best chance at.  
 

People are down on the Chargers game, and that’s dumb IMHO.  They held their poise despite down early off a ST fumble and were then again late after Cook fumbled it felt like a game that could flip momentum and be in danger of losing.  But they stayed composed, they didn’t abandon Cook, and they drove the field to win the game.  
 

Then the D did its thing immediately on defending the chance for a game winning FG with a big sack out the gate to seal the fate if the game to a lateral gauntlet for a miracle attempt.  
 

Coming off a huge win, into a road environment with new coach energy against a weaker team easy to overlook is a game a lot of teams can lose.  And when you factor our struggles in close games, being able to hold on and make the plays to win the game was great to see.  Sure we would have preferred a multi-score win, but also, Bills need to win these close games too as there are likely to be more, so this IMHO only helps build more poise and confidence inside that locker room as we move towards the playoffs.

 

Note:  I think we are about to see more of a split committee at RB between Fournette and Cook.  Cook is having some fumbling issues, had also dropped 2 easy TD passes, and isn’t great in pass pro.  Playoff Lenny inbound, I think they are gonna get his legs warmed for a playoff impact and Lenny is a more physical runner, better receiver, and better in pass pro.  Cook will be the speed element and still mix in a lot too, but I have a feeling that if Lenny shows he still has it (he’s only 27) these next couple weeks, then he could be looking at a hefty involvement come the post season.  

Like your post a lot. Just wanted to say Miami certainly will try to duplicate Buffalo’s success on the ground but their o-line is hurting.

Yeah I don't know maybe they'd take angles to get there while he had to not go full speed because he either A. had to use the blockers or B. had to avoid or run through the defenders that are there. Also who the ***** even is it and are they faster than all the DBs we put on the field? Not to mention if some of them are already further back but just on the other side of the field they already have a head start.

Oh its that easy. I see. Just take an angle and run through the defenders that were blocked there. Jee if we simply took angles and made that happen in the music city miracle, we could have saved all that heartache.

I fully expect Dallas to bash Miami in the head.

Gosh I hope you're right. What a Merry Christmas (eve) that would be.

[LeGOATski]

@Einsteingo find all-22 video of both this play and the music city miracle to compare formation and personnel.

 

We'll wait.

In the MCM, our players were 20 yards closer to Dyson and we STILL couldn't catch him. I think you underestimate how difficult it is to catch up to a guy 40+ yards away, even running on a diagonal, when they have blockers.

I get that you find it preposterous that Benford would miss a tackle while being pushed sideways by a blocker, but that's common. I fully expect McD to look at the tape and say "this was not good" and fix it. Despite you and Goatski attempts to pretend that all went according to plan.

And the myth has nothing to do with a coaches facial expressions and sideline demeanor…..yet you decided to use them as your evidence 🤣  keep it up!

What blocker the one he's about to leave behind him in a cloud of dust?
