Livinginthepast Posted October 7 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
SCBills Posted October 7 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

I think Williams came on late, but was in good position. but Why are the safeties 25 yards down field? 3 5 2
Chugga Posted October 7 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. Miscommunication during absolutely critical moments. 3 5 1 1
Governor Posted October 7 Posted October 7 It’s the new tweaked 13 seconds defense. It will work next time. 4
nedboy7 Posted October 7 Posted October 7 Im just really blown away with how badly this game was managed. 1
Chugga Posted October 7 Posted October 7 2 minutes ago, Governor said: It’s the new tweaked 13 seconds defense. It will work next time. 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.
BillsFan130 Posted October 7 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
RiotAct Posted October 7 Posted October 7 look how deep the safeties are playing. Just look. LOOK, D***IT!!! 1 1
QCity Posted October 7 Posted October 7 The last 3 minutes of that game was like watching 2 teams trying to lose. 3
Sojourner Posted October 7 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
pigpen65 Posted October 7 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

McDermott will never learn from 13 seconds 1 3
