regarding the 4th and 1 call and the safety.
Jauron made up his mind way before they got to the 4th and inches situation. This is a coaching staff well prepared for all situations.
On the safety, Losman said he had one-on-one on both sides; he was going to plant his feet, look one way and throw the other way. But as he planted his feet, the first rusher came, he eluded the rusher and was still going to make the play but didn't see the 2nd rusher who came right away.
You can read into his demeanor that this one is on the O-line. I checked the video on bb.com and it looked that way to me. I know we all want Losman to make no mistakes at all, but come on guys, for a guy starting his 9th game in NFL, dodging one pass rusher in a pressure cooking situation is ... not good enough? I let him go on this one.
Oh btw, he mentioned the one on one coverage to Evans did happen in the 2nd half and he was going for tdownfield plays; unfortunately, those were plays he got sacked on. If you guys listened to Marv Levy's WGR55 interview last week, you'll remember he said the biggest concern for him is the O-Line. Granted the O-Line actually played better than most of us think they could, but still not good enough. Just imagine if the O-Line (or Sheldon who wiffed badly) could make a play or two on those two sacks that Losman was going for the bomb to Evans - the Bills would be like Rams in 1999/2000.
