I quit watching years ago when that study came out about how much actual playing time there was in a game.
I rarely missed a game up until then.

They let Tennessee get set, just get up quick snap and you have the 1st down easily.

The whole start in shotgun thing and then move under center cost them, but what can ya do.

Right call, bad execution

- ImThatGuy


This is exactly right, quick shotgun snap and let JA pick his hole. Spread them out 4 wide and would have worked.

I’m sure this dead horse was beaten last night, but I think going for it at the end of the Bills game was the right call. When you’re the best team in the league, you don’t show mercy

I wanted an RPO there. Problem was there were only 20-some seconds left with only one timeout. Even if you converted the sneak, you're almost handcuffed into passing plays from the 1 yard-line. You need a play call that gives you at least a look at a touchdown.

They should have went to the end zone on that play IMO

All or nothing.

The Titans were defending the half foot. PA would have left someone open

I'm pretty sure the Bills are 0-3 in games in where Josh Allen catches a pass in the end zone.

Until they feel like they need an extra F, there's no need.

So? It didn’t work anyways

But like i said, we could’ve at least tried to draw them offsides BEFORE we snapped the ball & did the sneak
No reason not to see if they’d gift us a 1st down there

- jdfitz77


i've always hated that...works maybe one time out of 100...

get to the line, don't allow them to adjust, pick a hole, run the sneak...

brady did this umpteen times and did it successfully

winger loses an edge on the ice in warmup and has to sit, or a winger gets sick an hour before they drop the puck

play a d man up front


makes perfect sense

They have 1 extra F. Maybe they'll do something before they hit the west coast.

Samuelsson is still up, but on IR, I thought he was the 8th.

Ralph could definitely promise top service, when she shows up, it's not what they discussed.

I think he was sent on paper. He also may physically be there, but I also think he's earning an NHL celery until he's healthy, because he was injured in Sabres rookie camp.
