One thing Brady always did in that situation was get to the line quick and not let the d get completely set
Then snap and pick the hole.

Ballsy move. Didn't work out.

Tha play had worked 13 out of 14 times in that situation. It was the right call.

You kick the FG

Josh Allen was 13/14 on QB sneaks getting the yardage needed. The one miss was a bungled snap.

The Bills did not stop Henry. They cannot get to Tannehill. Tannehill quick pass game ate up the Bills defense. AGAIN. Titans could do whatever they wanted as long as they had time on the clock

Other than td run Henry had 67 yards on 19 carries

Our OL was getting its ass kicked all game, up the middle. I was hoping they wouldn't call that play again. They were stopped on a 3rd and short QB sneak earlier.

We had a timeout left
Should’ve tried to draw them offsides
Then decided if we should go for it or not
Or at least tried to draw them off before we did the sneak

If you don't draw them offsides then you have to take the timeout and the sneak is no longer an option.

Their whole D game plan was designed to stop him which opened up their short to mid passing game and weakened their pass rush because they were so afraid of losing containment on Henry.

2 of the other 19 carries were house calls. Maybe you weren’t watching with your hands over your eyes every time Henry got the ball, but I was.

Should have never came down to that last play, like was said we kicked FG's while they scored TD's in the red zone

If they run any other playy there (or we go to OT and lose) everyone here is female doging that we don't run the play that worked 13 out of 14 times. It's that simple

Allen had a long run by sneaking around the end in the Chiefs game. Thought he could get away with it both times in tonight’s game.

He got stuffed earlier on the game trying to do it again. They went to school on it.

Something that bothers me about the play calling is I don’t recall them running any of the plays that they had success with last year. Kumerow skinny post. Student body right quick screen to John Brown, could now be ran by Beasley or Sanders. Both zone breakers. Did Bills ever not score a TD on tap pass to McKenzie within 5 yards?

Tough loss - d has been so good that they were due for a Down game I guess. They had numerous 3rd and 4th down opportunities to stop the Titans and would have won the game with any one play.

Sitting boogie and Epenesa was certainly questionable

We should have won the game but didn’t do enough BUT if you watched the Henry 75 yd td run it’s funny how the refs ignored the WR grabbing Poyer and pulling him away from Henry. A blatant hold they ignored and called the same exact thing on smith and sanders.

The 72 Dolphins would be crapping their pants right now if games ended at halftime.

Going for it was the right call. Going for it indicated a 74% chance of winning, kicking the FG it was a 48% chance of winning. Play call and Dawkins getting blown up can be questions but I think going for it was right.

The wrong decision was declining the holding call that would have made a drive 2nd and 18 instead of 3rd and 8. Analytics says take the penalty

The way their D-line dominated our O-line tonight, that was not the right call.
- BeadyEyedDouche


But kicking a FG, then relying on a D that poop the bed is the right call?
Nope.

We stopped Henry but the personnel choices resulted in zero pass rush. Pick your poison.

Bingo.
Said it before the game.
Running Henry and Tannehill's dinking game worried me.
Prophetic.

Do the Sabres go to 3-0 after tonight's game?
