Golden Wheels Posted September 14, 2004 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.

Had we just been able to stop them on a FOURTH AND FRICKEN FOURTEEN none of this would be an issue........

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.
obie_wan Posted September 14, 2004 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 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.
