Pivotal moment of the game

[PromoTheRobot]

Collins is sacked and fumbled...Bills fail to recover. If we did, we'd be on the Raiders 20. The Raiders looked lethargic until that point. If we had put a quick 14 on them, they might have quit. But we all know how it turned out.

I don't think that would have made a difference on the outcome. Look at the last couple of games. Bang out a score on our first possession or two and then we proceed to throw our hands up with a collective "hell, we scored a few points... we're done for the day." See the Miami game.

I think the pivitol moment was that huge pass from Collins to gabrial or moss or whoever off that fumble recovery, that was when the raiders realized they still had a team and could play football, and could move the ball on us. If we knock that down, they have a fully different mental state.

I was convinced our offense was going to have a solid day after that first drive. Looked like they knew what to do against that D. I don't know if saying I was fooled is fair because our defense just gave up anything and everything today. After our offense went 3 and out on our 2nd possession, it seemed like everything went downhill after that.

 

Maybe losing a coin toss will help

You might say just as pivotal was the f!$%ing stupid block in the back on the ensuing punt return. Nate took it back to their 30, instead we start at our own 20. Ah well.
