    When I watched that I was thinking the same thing. Probably a walk in TD in they chose to run which was the smart play to diminish the clock

      Yep.

      If I owned a club, I'd have a comment feature on my web site. It would have to have some sort of truncated title, but here is what it would solicit:

      "Hey, you millions of viewers who watch us on tv and see our dumb calls and tendencies, how about giving us - for free - a hand and point out the "trees before the forest" that we millionaires that populate the NFL can't figure out for ourselves."

        That all being said, I feel like I have a new issue with this coaching staff every week. Who the hell is driving the bus when it comes to clock management and just overall game management? Down two scores with 1 timeout, and the best offense on the other side of the field, with about 6-7 minutes left, and the Bills were taking their sweet ass time and taking the play clock down to 3 seconds CONSTANTLY. There was no sense of urgency. This is not the first time this has happened. We did the same thing against the Giants. Last night against the Pats, we literally ran out of time. Who knows what an extra 40 seconds could have meant to the outcome. Who should be answering to this? Roman? Ryan? How is this not noticed by anyone involved with the Bills that maybe we should pick up the pace?
        Well said.

          Thank you, was wondering the same thing. Very amateurish for the offense. No sense of the clock, should have been in the hurry up from the get go.
