I'm still waiting for a good explanation as to what went wrong on the two plays. Jerry Sullivan tried, writing about the secondary playing too deep and a pointless four-man rush — pointless, given how quick Mahomes had to get rid of the ball and how slippery he is. I don't see how either of those points goes to execution. They don’t. That’s kind of a disappointing answer from him. Double Hill. Double Kelce. Send everyone else at Mahomes. Couldn’t work any less. If nothing else, it eats some clock as he is scrambling. Also, you said kick it deep. He kicked it deep. The executed that perfectly.

I’m just pointing out that gaining 35 yards in two plays isn’t exactly balancing three eggs on top of one another. we made gaining that 35 yards as easy as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabres Fan in NS Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 14 hours ago, Taro T said: If they take the 1 EP, as we've seen, the way Mahomes was clicking, the game almost certainly ends up in OT where the team winning the toss has been 10-1 in the playoffs since the format change in '10 or '12 (pretty sure playoffs changed in '12, maybe that's backwards). So, there's close to a 50/50 chance of winning. Probably slightly over as the Chefs chance of a FG is <100% but also w/ a ridiculously small chance of a TD. If they go for 2, it's essentially 4th & goal from the 2. The Bills have been nearly unstoppable on 4th down down the stretch. The Sanders drop in the end zone in the game in Cheats land is the only miss that immediately springs to mind. So, now there's, what, a 2/3's (maybe better?) chance of being up by 4. The Chefs chances of getting a TD 75 yards away in only 3 plays is small. So, there's now roughly a 67%-70% chance of winning if the Bills go for 2 (67% chance of having close to 100% chance of winning & a 33% chance of having a slightly non zero % chance of winning failing the 2 pointer, figure what, a 10% chance of stopping a FG drive, maybe only 5%?). That seems a lot better than just over a 50% chance of winning - 5-10% of winning in regulation & 50% in OT. I understand that it's a pretty high percentage gamble, but still a gamble to go for the 2. I am not a gambler at heart. I would still take the 1 point AND play lights out defense with only two down linemen and have all my fastest guys out there for 2 plays and do whatever it takes to keep them out of FG range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thwomp! Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Every decision was super conservative from the moment the go ahead TD was scored. The XP, the kickoff, the defense for 2 ***** plays in a row. The most conservative approach was taken in each case. McDermott and/or the coaching staff played scared and froze/choked. Hopefully they/McDermott learn from this. Still hope both head coordinators are elsewhere next year, but I'll also be keeping an eye on McDermott because he's not a great close game coach and we kinda need that very badly. Maybe he's taken us as far as he's able? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is a glaringly bad time mgr and has some serious brainfarts like the historic ones on Sunday. But he is a really good guy and he is a tremendous motivator and the players love him..or at least they used to,. Now the Coordinators are very good as well. Frazier overall did a nice job this yr. We need an experienced(not too experienced like early dementia stuff) guy to be our assistant head Coach. A guy who can 'manage' critical decisions during a bills game. Consult with McD..Tell him NOT to blow this second half timeout just for the hell of it And dont play prevent D on a team with 3 timeouts remaining and 3 points behind. etc etc etc. A guy betw 55 and 73 who doesnt like the lime light but was a trusted assistant in a great organization. Congrats on a great season to McD Frazier and Daboll. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doohickie Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 When *I* made the remark, it was just after the presser where McDermott blamed the loss on "execution" of special teams and defense rather than coaching. If there had been blowback from the players (which I haven't really heard about any thus far) against McD, I ran through the thought experiment of "who should be brought in if McD is fired?" If we *had* to change, it would be interesting what Belichick would do with this team. I think all the reasons we hate him now would become reasons to like him, especially his tactical execution on game day. That said, I made the suggestion as much to get a rise out of the forum as anything else, but it posted near the bottom of a page and I don't think many people saw it anyway.

Flashsabre Posted January 27, 2022 Report Share Posted January 27, 2022 Denver hire Packers OC Hackett as coach. A lot of smoke that Rodgers and Adams might follow him there.

If anything, the season opener was a fluke. It was thankfully not a portend of things to come. But that loss to Jacksonville was one where I wish I was wrong when I called it. It’s just that when I read how dinged up the OL was that week, I had a feeling that we would be in trouble and I was proven right (unfortunately).
