It has been successful but today it felt like they could move at will. No huge plays which is what the bills want to prevent. But they churned out first downs all day The difference was no pressure. No disruption to Tua's timing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because that one wasn’t even close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The INT was 100% on Coleman and likely would have been a TD if he caught it. And don't forget on that last drive before half Cook dropped a likley TD pass. Throw in having a spectacular 25 yard TD run called back on a hold and three TD passes Allen was elite today. He missed like 5 throws in the most important part of the game - two minute drill. I’ve seen a lot of Allen and he’s not great at being pin point accurate in 2 minute and finishing off teams in regulation. Glad we got the 15 penalty and bass hit a record kick. But usually this game goes to overtime. And ehhhh dunno how it ends 1 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 20 minutes ago, boyst said: We are quick to disregard how brilliant McDorkdaniels is with offense. The guy finally had a good plan and stuck with it. They were toe to toe with us and outplayed us on offense. We shot ourselves in the foot too many times early. The interception (by the way, I hate that it's counted on Josh as an INT) notwithstanding as part of that belief they outplayed us, btw. I keep remembering Week 18 last year which I think sums up McDaniel as a coach. The Dolphins come in putting both Achane and Mostert in the backfield and Tua starts doing this little pop handoff which effectively makes it a read option between two capable backs and they just tear through the Bills defense...in the first half. In the second, McDermott decides to stop trying to read the run and just goes for penetration knowing they are going to get burned and relying on TFL to keep the Phins behind the sticks. Instead of adjusting, McDaniel kinda gave it up and went back to Tua passing and their offense falls apart in the second half. Brilliant play design. Other than today, piss poor situational awareness. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Man, I usually like to pop over to PhinHeaven.com after a win for a little bit of schadenfreude, but at this point it isnt even entertaining. They've hit the point of a losing season where they've just all turned on each other instead of the team. Not fun. Sad! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seahawks had a winning record when we played them. Jets were everybody's darlings. And the fins with Tua are a different team with a top NFL offense. I disagree, but no use arguing: We got the Chiefs, Detroit, and 49ers all ahead so we will see how we stack up. Gonna look like we played vs ravens and hous. More likely than not. It’s cool. 11-5 is damn good year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only really bad pass was the one to Kincaid which was way too low. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I swear I saw him talking to somebody over the headset while he still had the flag in his hand. Whoever told him to do that should no longer have that responsibility. Losing that timeout for no reason stung at that point. 3 minutes ago, RichRiderBills said: They felt the shin was down sooner. It was close, yes a bad fail, but not horrible.

At first i thought it was to appease the team because they wanted him to challenge it but I didn't see anyone fight for it. I don't ever want him to challenge any call. Ever.

Success Posted November 4 Share Posted November 4 Really exhilarating win today. Allen looked fantastic. If not for the Coleman drop/INT, it likely wouldn't have been a nailbiter - but it's nice to see us win a nailbiter, and that was great experience for Bass to have. Blowouts are fun too, but you need to win some games like this & it's valuable for the playoffs to have a few of these in the regular. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forced Josh to throw to the sidelines vs being able to throw middle of the field. Still can't believe he challenged that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as strict as where you start a slide or dive , but yeah when you touch down your down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
