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!
Shows how momentum and small things can really sway a football game!

We could have easily had a 14-0 lead in this game. If that halfback option isn’t called we may have scored and if Drew sees Henry standing in the flat all by himself, that’s an easy 7 points.
Then again, if Fiedler doesn’t over throw, Chambers, the Phins end the game earlier.
What about the momentum we had after the Clements TD run? We had plenty of time on the clock when we got the ball back and we could do nothing with it. I just can't believe we couldn't sustain ONE drive all night long to get some semblence of an offense going
GO BILLS!!

Originally posted by Brian Griese Rulz Why run a trick play inside the 10 yard line?
Of course that was the worst HB pass I have ever seen. If he threw the ball farther it would have been a TD.
You know what I'm thinkin? Henry's Ribs were dinged VERY early in this game- and either he didn't say anything because of McGahee's shadow or GW is a bigger idiot than we think
On the HB option, That ball was thrown like a whiffle ball... he couldn't get it more then 15 yards downfield. Looked like a guy with broken/seperated ribs threw it.
After that play, I think it set in with the team that Henry really was hurting- Drew knew it and I'm guessing the Fins realized it too- Why else would Drew not throw it to him when he was WIDE open? Why would the Fins ignore him in coverage?
One thing that caught my eye was after the INT, they did a really long shot on the replay (so they could draw in their X's and O's. ) I watched Henry's reaction during and after the play. He gave a tiny wave to Bledsoe during the pass, and after the INT he was emotionless. Sur ehe was a bit deflated, like the rest. But he didn't raise his arms, give the obligatory "Aw man , I was WIDE OPEN" kind of demonstration most guys have . He just walked off with his arms somewhat motionless at this side.

Agree on that, but I think we would have seen 15 less carries from RW if they were playing from behind in this one
Originally posted by Travis Hunter GW doesn't seem to understand momentum.
Or the concept "RUNNING GAME."
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?
Think about the times your favorite team loses a game to a big underdog and I'm sure you can remember hearing the phrase "they allowed them to believe they could win it".
Now think about a team that goes into the game favored, yet undoubtedly had some concern about staying with the hottest team in the league. It wouldn't take much to make them believe they could win it, and we gift wrapped the momentum perfectly.
Early in the game Miami did not look good. They were tentative and making mistakes. Yet when the Bills gave them the ball back on two straight possessions inside the 10, well you could almost see their chests puff up a little more.
Put one of those two in the end zone and kick another for a FG and you've got a COMPLETELY different game. The defense would feel obligated to adjust and the offense wouldn't have simply pounded the ball straight ahead.
But even the best NFL team is highly unlikely to win turning the ball over twice at the goalline. Only a turnover returned for a TD is more energizing for a team. Once that happened the game was virtually over.
