NFL GDT: Week 10

[No Fun Shogun]

Gonna be a lot of drinking in Buffalo tonight.

….

I mean, a lot more than usual.

 

[Panthaz89]

I know it's the safe play but does it bother anyone else that the kneels kept making the field goal longer lol

They had plenty of time to get a lot closer not sure why they were satisfied with a 41 yard attempt lucky the Bills self destructed because the miss would of cost them.

 

[StreetHawk]

I would fire everyone after that mistake

I mean everyone

Entire coaching staff down to the laundry guy

Only thought that would make any sense is that someone who was on the FG block team was hurt earlier and missed the last Denver PAT. But he returned to the field for the final FG and his replacement was not told to not sub in for him.

But the special teams coach should already have been prepared for that situation. Denver was in FG after the DPI so he needed to get his guys ready who were not on the field.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Why is Adam Schefter acting like we just saw a classic? lol Of course Chiefs-Eagles will top this game.

Miserable Buffalo fans always brings a smile to your face

It’s unfathomable that you can call two timeouts when they’re kneeling down to get ready for the FG and not have your guys prepared for exactly what was going to happen.

Just pure incompetence.

Most Jets games topped that one.

Also, a complete tragedy that this game ended 24-22 after it was once 9-8. Unconscionable.

After they petitioned the league for favorable treatment last year and getting totally spanked by the Bengals, them imploding is pure beauty this year.

No way man , the laundry guy uses tide ,and those little smelly pellets..dude is legit.

Been a while since I've seen the Bills try this hard to give a game away to a team who really didn't want it

Maybe it's another players' coach not priming his troops for high-stress.

Sean McDermott’s player-friendly approach is perfect for the Bills

McDermott will adapt his scheme to fit his personnel.

The press featured him as a "players' coach". I do think a degree of good faith conduct is necessary, but one can not become soft and lack demanding any accountability whatsoever.

No. Proper clock management. Gotta tell you, and was thinking this as it happened, if I’m the Bills I don’t call that last timeout unexpectedly and let Denver try to deal with it. Would have been interesting.

 

[GKJ]

You don’t need to sub at all. It’s chaos on the field, no need to be in on it. Take your chances that it will cause the field goal to be missed since it’s exactly what happened.

Heat of the moment means guys are all running on some degree of autopilot, including the coach.

Really doesn't matter if it's a presentation like a hearing or if it's with football. You're operating on past "scripts" and practices. An uncommon situation often still reverts back to the old practice instead of developing a new one in seconds.

 

[Halladay]

The Bills should have not have been 0 blitzing on that 3rd down play. It's 3rd and 10 from the Bills 45, even if they complete a 10-15 yard pass, everything is going to be in a rush. If it is less than a 1st down they have to run their field goal team onto the field. He needs to be sacked.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Yeah they will definitely get back on track though...I mean they only have...checks notes....Jets, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, and Chargers upcoming.

This game, and subsequent losses, may be the best thing for them in the long-term. IF it gets an offensive HC that is demanding. Petulant has a big decision to make.

Not sure if this is the right time to mention it, but the Bills' owners also happen to own an NHL franchise that hasn't made the playoffs since the Obama administration. That's all you need to know right there.

But they did it at halftime and didn’t sub. The missed kick was rushed as it was. The most likely way they lose the game is exactly what they did. I’m taking my chances leaving my regular defense in there, half of them are on the FG block unit anyways.

The world is better place for that. Your town's sin was to incubate that wretched Chaos Giraffe.

End of game creates a different mood with more pressure and nerves compared to end of half.
Even though the human cannot control either situation that much, the human WANTS to control things when the stakes are higher and "death"/"no more chances" is imminent.
A stricter disciplinarian would have been able to calm human instinct, and it seems Sean Payton has a coach who does that for ST.

We're sitting back in a relaxed TV environment. But on the field, it's more of a controlled simulation of war.

The Buffalo Bills in 2023

[Squiffy]

I mean, I’m a Leafs fan, and we find our own spectacular ways to lose on occasion, and I don’t like the Bills, but I’m almost reaching the point the point empathy here.

The world is better place for that. Your town's sin was to incubate that wretched Chaos Giraffe.

It was benching Flutie, and the curse is real.

 

[BB88]

Explosion time in Buffalo

 

[Tuggy]

The Bills missing the playoffs would be delicious.
