Buffalo Bills WCW: (7) Denver at (2) Buffalo; Sunday 1/12, 1:00 PM, CBS

[SharkInABoloTie]

Don't think it had the length for 70. 65 maybe. But it was absolutely drilled right down the middle.

It looked like it cleared the crossbar by 15 feet or so on the endzone replay.

Coleman ever go to to the tent (Concusion) btw or were they looking at his arm/chest ? He did look look droosy though on the sideline

They never said on the broadcast that he went into the tent.

 

[K8fool]

He didn't just make the kick. He f***ing blasted it. Someone else said it, but that would have been good from 70+

support from the people is everything

 

[Tsujimoto]

Coleman ever go to to the tent (Concusion) btw or were they looking at his arm/chest ?

They said they were working on him on the sideline. Never mentioned him going into the tent.

15 feet = 5 yards = good from 66.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

There was 10 seconds left when the ball was snapped for the FG. They would have had like 4-5 seconds if he missed to try to get closer.

There was 5 seconds when the play ended, there would have been 5 seconds when it ended after a miss as well.

The disaster scenario would have been a block.

Big growing pains day for the defense - nice to get a win regardless. We knew it wasn't going to be perfect this year.

I have wgr on if I hear anything from Sal I will pass it on

 

[OkimLom]

Beane needs to find an upgrade for the LB group. Even if they are banking on Milano’s return, I doubt he’ll be at a place where you won’t need to rotate him out.

When Miami isn't forced to be one-dimensional, they're a damned good offense. Tua was practically perfect (really, only ONE incompletion).

Our LBs played like ass, and our safety play wasn't much better.

Big time learning day for the D.

Probably will have to wait for McDermott's presser, and he'll probably be non-committal on it.

 

[Der Jaeger]

How was Elam?

To be fair, this was the worst game they've had all season. Dorian especially.

If this is NOT the norm, we're OK until Milano comes back.

That said.....I'm all about getting a guy who can actually play some in the middle.

 

[NotABadPeriod]

How was Elam?

Hill got the better of him in the 2nd half. But all told...serviceable.

 

[Zman5778]

How was Elam?

Just fine. Didn't really get torched (the couple times he was the closest defender, the D was in zone)....and didn't have any flags thrown on him.

Also made a few sure tackles.

 

[SabresFan26]

Let’s give McDermott credit. He won an important close game as time expired.

To me, it all starts with the line. They were consistently moved off the line in the run game and provided very little pressure on Tua in the passing game. We need more out of Rousseau/Oliver/Jones/Epenesa/Miller.

 

[misterchainsaw]

Honestly if Poyer didn't blow up Coleman he might have come up with the catch.

Rough day overall for Keon between the drop turned INT and then getting hurt late

Jones has been a HUGE disappointment to me this year. He's nowhere CLOSE to what he was last year. I think that's then affecting Oliver.

I've been largely pleased with Groot/AJE/Von/Toohill....and Smoot has been very good wherever he plays this year.

 

[zenthusiast]

As fun as it is to chat here I took the second half to talk ball with assorted family along a wide spectrum of football knowledge and that was about as entertaining as it gets

 

[NotABadPeriod]

Did have the clutch 2 point conversion.

Here's hoping we get Cooper/Benford back for next week.

Certainly looked like Keon had both hands on the ball before Poyer yeeted himself into Coleman's head.

 

[zenthusiast]

Also the announcers talking about a hail Mary attempt were insane even with bass and his problems. The odds are wildly different

It may have been their worst game of the season, so far, but with the competition ramping up in the coming weeks, especially with TE and running games that will test them, they can’t afford to go into those weeks without trying to trade/find an upgraded LB(s).

They need to check their ego and understand that their current LB Corp is not up to the level of a contender.
