11/17/24 Game 11 GAMEDAY! Bills vs Chiefs 1st Half Thread

[T.E.]

You either go for it or try the FG. You don't beat 9-0 teams by punting at their 42 for 30 net yards of field position.

Not good enough from Martin.

 

I miss having a punter that could put those out of bounds inside the 5.

Need to have more success on early downs

Any success would be welcome, lol

Going for it on 4th and 8 would be moronic. 

[Success]

KC defense is good.  That would have been tough to get if they went for it.

 

Good punt from Martin.

 

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I get that they feel like they need to run outside and away from jones, but that is not going to work. Better off running it up the gut, and letting RBs find cut backs .

Need more use of our RBs in short passing right now.  Chiefs run D is stiff, loosen up with some playaction/quick RB throws.

[Kmart128]

We have been pretty bad on 1st and 2nd down. Gotta get that figured out. We can't just keep converting 3rd and longs. It'll catch up at some point.

This is the mentally of why we lose to KC in the playoffs. I’m convinced it’s mostly a mental roadblock. 

[BlazinBill]

 hopefully script calls are done- JA17 some real nice throws but they need to stop loosing early downs

Bills have to do better on first down.

[finn]

So little innovation in the NFL, apart from Detroit. Why not try a hard count on the punt instead of the obvious fourth down and long? Why not do a hard count on fourth and long, act like it's all over, then snap it at the last second, when the defense has lost concentration?

I knew McDermott wouldn't have the sack to go for it there.

5 or less from that spot- absolutely.

 

8 yards makes it a must throw.

 

I’m very tough on McDs in game decisions, especially at the Half/ End game, but this was correct.

Oh the days when we had the best punting game in the league.  Can we bring those days back for sven please?

Remember when Cooper was soft 2 days ago? 

[Freddie's Dead]

DW with a nice tackle on Cu...errr....Hunt.

[familykwi]

That missed extra point was on Martin.  His hand is on the ground at a spot he's supposed to place the ball.  After catching the ball, he misses the spot away from himself making the ball is near Bass' heel, not mid foot where he wants to kick it.  Since Bass is not sweeping his leg, that will push the ball right.

 

It's the little things that matter.

[SirAndrew]

D line has been impressive. That’s what I’ve wanted against KC for years. 

[JerseyBills]

KC is weak, feel like McD and Babich been waiting all year to shut these frauds down
