Golden Wheels Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Tuesday Morning Quarterback The tastefully named Gregg Easterbrook had 3 gripes about the Bills in his column this week, and I can't argue with any of them. 1. Sour Play of the week: Clements failure to KNOCK THE BALL DOWN rather than going for an interception on the 4th and 14 play with less than 2 minutes left. 2. Calling for a pass play on 3rd and 1 from the 1 yard line. 3. Punting on 4th down at the J'ville 33 instead of going for a field goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had we just been able to stop them on a FOURTH AND FRICKEN FOURTEEN none of this would be an issue........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Avenger Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 - We had just attempted 2 plays for no gain and we were putting the ball on the turf all over the place.......I have no problem with a quick pass after attempting to run it twice in a row.......... - Our defense kicked their ass all day long......our field goal kicker had missed a fairly easy one in the swirling Ralph Stadium winds......and the jags were fighting the lock now as well......I thought it was the right call with the lead in a defensive battle...... 30993[/snapback] Actually, the drive after the interception started on the Jax 3 and we gained a yard each time we ran. I really think that we should have been able to pound the ball in or run some sort of play to the outside. The pass was a bad call. Swirling Ralph Wilson Stadium Winds? I was there and based on the streamers on the uprights wind was not a factor. Lindell missed the damn kick after a good snap and a good hold - it's just that simple. Wind did not factor into the miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obie_wan Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 here is the problem with the play call given our QB- Since our defense had been stuffing the JAgs all day, the Bills were in obvious 4 down territiry to go for the TD. A quick pass may have been acceptable, but not a sack which forces the field goal (or worse a pick). The play call and execution lost the chance for a TD on 4th down. Funny how many are giving props to Drew for taking a sack instead of throwing a pick on the play - no real expectation that Drew would actually produce a TD.

DCM Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 how 'bout..... "Stats of the Week No. 11 " Stretching back to last season, Buffalo has scored one touchdown in its last three games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
