I hate calling deep passes on 3rd down.

 

He was open, yes, but it is such a low-percentage play regardless. 

Do that on 2nd down.

*sigh* I just want it to work I don't much care when. 🙂

He had him beat, you have to take that chance. Shakir was covered underneath, he took the 1 on 1.

 

Josh will hit that one more often than not. Just a touch long

Its funny how many times the Bills get 2nd and 1 opportunities and then just run it up the middle.  

Expand  

 

Exactly.

 

Those plays are begging for a play action but it rarely ever gets called with Brady.

At least this won’t be an issue with our new stadium

At least we tied it, but bummer that we finally get a stop, just to go 3 and out. Need to take the lead and put some pressure on the Cardinals offense.

It is about the looks you get as well though. Cards out of their shell to try and bring some heat on 3rd down, middle of field open. And the play worked. Just missed thr throw (which in these conditions especially is a hard throw).

Yea he looked like he lost it in the wind to me

Expand  

It wasn’t the typical Allen rope. That pass was lofted nicely and had some hang time. Maybe it moved in the wind, but MVS had time to adjust IMO.

Wind took that one, don’t hate the call at all

He really is. And expecting to complete that was insanity.

For as good as Allen is.. his deep ball accuracy is bad.

Expand  

And it’s crazy because he used to be so good at it. But the last few years not so much. 

[VW82]

The number of drive ending missed deep balls the last couple years is staggering.

MVS open by at least a step and another overthrow on a post pattern. 

Wind is crazy here but he still has to make that throw catchable 

Expand  

Of Josh threw it better I'm not extremely confident MVS catches the ball.

Right, and the windy days almost

always seem to land on the weekends. 

[Freddie's Dead]

Wow, Murray got destroyed on that one.

[Rockinon]

Throwing with the wind there. Tough break.

He probably throws in the worst wind conditions than any other qb on a regular basis.  He put it where it was going to be caught or no one was going to catch it.  I honestly prefer that.

That's fair, but it was a high risk play when we had a chance of putting real scoreboard pressure on them. I would rather we had tried that on 2nd down
