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!
Did the Bills let the clock run down at the end of regulation, then kick a long field goal (that they missed) on second down?
If so, thoughts?
That was terrible. They had plenty of time to run a couple more plays and get the ball centered between the hash marks. Plus the wind was blowing directly at Lindell .
Jauron just can't manage a game at all.

I was incredulous at that play kind of playcalling, and then I came to my senses and realized that Dick Jauron is still our coach, and still an idiot.
Should have known, way back in 1960 when we drafted Richie Lucas Number 1, that this would be a long, hard ride. But who could have known it would be THIS bad?
This is Jauron being his usual conservative self and playing not to lose. Amazing that they seriously thought the were good allowing Lindell to attempt a 48 yarder with the wind tearing through the stadium. Given the conditions, I would have been nervous from 30 yards out, much less 48.
The previous Run play was a 2 yard loss, so I'm not sure it is a guarantee a run play would be better. It could be worse like the Jets's 1st possesion in over time where a holding penalty take them out of the field goal range all together.
To me they should try a pass play and I would believe had Edwards in there they might let him do just that: try a 3-step or throw away. I just think they don't really have the feel for the 2nd string QB yet to do so in that situation.
It is a disgrace and injustice that he gets a W in his record from this.
Watching the game with the future in-laws, they were all screaming, "What is he doing?? What is he doing??!?!!?? Who is that coach??" and I just sighed, "Welcome to the World of Dick."

I seriously thought I must have been missing something. How could a coach possibly think that was the right thing to do?
Any Bills victories come in spite of Jauron, not because of him. And the play to "line up" our little 47 yarder at the end. They couldn't have tried to get a few more yards on that, instead of a straight ahead line plunge? Yes, he made the kick. But not because we made it any easier for him.
Reminds me of Superbowl XXV. There are no "gimmee" 47 yarders.
