Buffalo Bills: 5-4, Chiefs Today

[Waterfowlist]

Man. Hogan was wide open in the middle of the field there.

Announcers are idiots. He came open after Orton was running. I think the defender even had a hand on him before Hogan was open.

Your chances of converting on 4th and inches with a QB sneak are probably about 80 percent, but Marrone is too much of a coward to go for it.

That one is all on the coach.

More like 90%

But it's typical for Marrone and nearly every NFL coach to be a wimp there

You have no idea if they would have run the play without the false start. The fact that the Bills player flinched tells me that they were probably planning on running a play. There was still like 15 seconds left on the play call.

As for whether it would have been the right or wrong decision, I'm torn. On an average team with as good an offense as defense, I'd say you go for it. But the Bill's defense is significantly better than their offense. I'm not appalled by the decision to pin the Chiefs deep.

Good idea, I've always been a proponent for a specialized goal line situation QB

Manuel's prototypical size can be useful there!

Would have confused the D.

Opens up the possibilities of a QB sneak, handing off to the RB or even play action and a short pass to Chandler in the flat.

thats assuming the blitz gets there and Smith doesnt find a receiver

Blitz begets hot route. Hot route begets 10 years gain. 4th and 6. Punt. It's practically a rule in that situation.

 

[stokes84]

And that's how it's done.

 

[Longshot]

Unreal.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

hey there bills welcome back guys

just another season in buffalo

It's really not. If anything sitting back is the rule in that situation, especially when you have a pass rush like the Bills do. Smith made a great throw just over Robey on the sideline, and they still didn't even get the first down. If you blitz you risk YAC, blown coverages, etc.

And McKelvin fumbles. Oh lord are we Bills'ing this game up.

EDIT: He was awfully close to being down. I don't think it's going to get overturned though.

 

[stokes84]

Leodis.

 

[BuiltTagonTough]

Theres the McKelvin I know and love.

****.

 

[CrazyPsycho]

You cant be serious

 

[Myllz]

Welp...that happened.

 

[Longshot]

Just call a fair catch your moron and give it to your QB.

 

[Clock]

Ah ****. There it is.

and you shouldnt be able to pick up 15 yards on 3rd 16 with 7 dropped into coverage but that happened too

 

[Waterfowlist]

McKelvin, crushing bills fans hopes and dreams since 2008.

 

[stokes84]

and you shouldnt be able to pick up 15 yards on 3rd 16 with 7 dropped into coverage but that happened too

Because they didn't blitz. Thanks.

 

[Taro Tsujimoto]

Have a nice time riding the pine the rest of the game, McKelvin.

 

[Deevo]

 

[misterchainsaw]

Because they didn't blitz. Thanks.

Fact: Offenses hit more big plays against the blitz than they do against 7 in coverage.

 

[Ralonzo]

Bills are gonna Bills.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

and teh D comes out and bites on the misdirection

 

[BuiltTagonTough]

Between that and the goal line fumble, the Bills have cost themselves this game. Nobody to blame but themselves.

**** **** ****.
