Simon Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 I bet my house April told him to bring it out and get the clock moving under 2:00 no matter what. He did exactly what he was correctly told do to. Of course I doubt he was told to try and run somebody over . Bringing it out with :50 left probably wasn't the brightest idea though.

bills44 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 In hindsight, that extra 5 seconds the Bills would've saved by McKelvin taking a knee with :50 left was meaningless.
SoCal Pat Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 You can't have your hands team out there AND tell your return man to bring the ball out of the end zone. If April did tell McKelvin to bring it out of the end zone, that's just stupid.

Except for the whole forgetting to hold onto the ball part.

Bringing it out with :50 left probably wasn't the brightest idea though. Its a bad call bud because we didn't have the normal blockers. The other thing is that was two fumbles technically on him tonight. he may have been a factor in this loss, but I pin it directly on Jauron and Fewell. We blitzed and got all over Brady in the first half, then came out and went soft the rest of the night. We let brady get comfortable and he killed us.

If April did tell McKelvin to bring it out of the end zone, that's just stupid. Thye had to get the clock under 2:00 so a 1st down wins hte game. Bringing it out to get the clock moving was the correct call.

BuffaloBill Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Even if your premise is true he still could have slid and protected the ball. What does it matter? One loss closer to the end of the Jauron era.

Bringing it out was fine... running head first with no notion of ball protection with that time left was disastrous, and shows what kind of player he is. When you draft brainless monkeys, thats what happens
Simon Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 Its a bad call bud because we didn't have the normal blockers. Blocking is irrelevant. The clock was the primary factor in that situation.
BillsVet Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 It was a matter of a young player trying to do too much at the wrong time. We'll never get the full story on this one.

Leonidas Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Simon's right. You have to get it under 2:00. Taking it out is the right call. You just have to protect it. The extra yardage is pointless - slide before contact if you have to - just make sure it's under 2:00 and you still have !@#$ing possession. Then force NE to use their timeouts and get a first down or punt the !@#$ing thing a mile with your two-time pro bowl punter.

We blitzed and got all over Brady in the first half, then came out and went soft the rest of the night. We let brady get comfortable and he killed us. They blitzed in the 2nd half too. I blame Jauron too but not for not blitzing. I blame him for running a no huddle offense and a bend but don't break D at the same time. It's a recipe that's ripe for losing games in the 4th when you have a totally gassed D who can no longer create pressure. Who didn't think the D would be easy pickings in the 4th with the ToP difference?
Fewell733 Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 i didn't mind him bringing it out so long as in doing so his number one objective was holding onto the ball. No reason he didn't just go down when he got wrapped up. Dumb Dumb play by Leodis, especially after fumbling earlier in the game. I guess cornerbacks do have short memories. This one hurts, but I gotta say the Dallas game hurt a lot worse (first game of the year, on the road, I'm more used to having victory snatched away by fluky events, the Pats do this to a lot of teams). I'm encouraged about this team overall.
Simon Posted September 15, 2009 Author Posted September 15, 2009 It was a matter of a young player trying to do too much at the wrong time. We'll never get the full story on this one. Exactly right on the first thought. I think April will spill the beans to cover the kid though. He's a stand up guy.

We blitzed and got all over Brady in the first half, then came out and went soft the rest of the night. We let brady get comfortable and he killed us. I agree completely about the D. Who is calling these plays. Brady was terrible in the first half because we pressured him. We let up the pressure and we lost.
lets_go_bills Posted September 15, 2009 Posted September 15, 2009 Bringing it out to eat clock makes sense but as soon as he sees a bunch of red jerseys, it's time to go down and clutch onto the ball for dear life, not break a gang tackle.
