Livinginthepast Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Apologies if this has been posted already: https://www.si.com/nfl/bills/news/buffalo-bills-houston-texans-final-play-10-men How could the Bills not have a defensive scheme ready to go right after that change of possession on the punt? The Bills seemed to have a bizarre configuration on defense for the Texans first down and were playing way off the ball like it was going to be a hail mary attempt and that was with only 10 men on the field to start! In addition the Texan player goes down on that last play and the Bills player touches him right away? I know a player can give himself up and they could call time out but why make it easy for the refs when you dont have to by not touching him?? The Bills could have easily let off and let the clock expire? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 Can’t have too many men on the field to lose a game late if you don’t have enough men on the field. 4D Chess 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills could have easily let off and let the clock expire? i think the bigger issue with the play was how deep the safeties were. I think Williams came on late, but was in good position. but Why are the safeties 25 yards down field? 3 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chugga Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 I’m trying my hardest not to beat a dead horse here but you could fill an entire newspaper with stories like these over the last 5 years.

Which should have been 8 seconds defense if the coaching staff got the right directions in and Bass squibbed it like he was supposed to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFan130 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) It's crazy in how many crunch time moments that a McDermott coached team has blunders. 13 seconds Denver, too many men on the field. Today, only 10 guys on the field. The list goes on Edited October 7 by BillsFan130 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 (edited) LMAO Sensational writing at its best. I had to rewatch this after reading that article. Totally inaccurate. Do they not think we can rewatch???? This is Williams already in the middle of the field. Bishop booking it back whilst the one judge has just placed the ball at the LOS and is still visible next to Houston’s OLine: This is everyone set and ready for 2 to 3 seconds before the ball is snapped… Safeties were deep yes but a beat of press prevents a TD, the rest take short passes taken away. Perfect coverage. Pass goes to the leak out due to no pass rush/pressure. >>>>>> FULL FINAL PLAY <<<<<<< How people are complaining about the above coverage is wild. Especially with the garbage “10 men/not ready”. That coverage, again, is perfect. The only issue anyone should have with the end of the game is not making Houston use all 3 of their time outs.

Because he was so concerned the Texans were gonna throw a bomb deep? The safeties aren’t even on the graphic they’re so far back! We’ve learned nothing since 13 seconds. Teams want cheap, quick yards, not time consuming plays. Bring your safeties up! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pigpen65 Posted October 7 Share Posted October 7 He's a good coach up to the end of games. At the end of games he's a terrible coach. Probably one of the worst all time when you think about how many big games he has just thrown away with absolutely mush brained decisions. They hired the ex ref to help with challenge flags. Why not hire an assistant coach to help with strategy in the last two minutes? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
