All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
With nine seconds left and needing another 10 yards to get within FG range why would you drop everyone back so damn far and allow them to complete down and outs to get in range and stop the clock????? You would have been better off to let them complete deep down the middle. There is no way they could have got the clock stopped in time. Blame it on the offense all you want but Fewell was a ****ing idiot at the end of the game also..
As someone else said, that one play undoes anything good the defense did. Six turnovers, two TDs, I don't care. Means nothing if you can't do it in the clutch. That's been the story of this D for two years ... choking to death.

No one should have been allowed to complete near the sidelines. Any other completion inside would have run out the clock. This coaching staff is seriously ******ed.

More than two years, even when they were supposedly one of the top ranked D's in the NFL five years ago or so they never could stop a final gamewinning drive.
ESPN kept saying "What do the Bills have to do to win this game?" Like they have done everything in there power to win it....I have a idea how they win....Score a ****ing offensive TD on 5 turnovers...
second most boneheaded call of the year. anyone want to guess the first
as they were lining up for that play im yelling 'drop four deep rush three and put two corners on each side past the hashmarks'. yet what did they do, all drop back deep and allow an ez ten yard completion
I started a similar thread, that last defensive play cost us the game. Why not put 4 guys on each sideline in five yard intervals and 3 guys deep middle. Any completed pass that stays in bounds and we win. Throw the ball away and they have to kick a 60 yarder.
The thing is, sideline outs are exactly what the Cover 2 can't cover. I bet Fewell didn't even have a play for this contingency because this staff is so married to their schemes. They have no flexibility whatsoever.

And this probably deserves its own thread, but we had zero sacks. Kelsay and Schobel made one big play each, but 98% of the time our $73 million DEs were average.

yet again- we have a ton of money tied up in an unproductive position.

Our declining lack of pressure in the second half of the game is what let Romo get comfortable and productive again. We have zero push up the middle and our two ends just get run to the outside by the Oline because they have no other moves other than an outside pass rush. All the QB does is step up in the pocket and he has all day.
