Daboll’s play calling

[LiterateStylish 12,053]

You have 2nd and goal at the 3 yard line.

THREE YARD LINE.

Yeldon just had two straight 4-5 yard runs.

Again, we are at the 3 yard line.

Yeldon is averaging 5 yards per carry.

We are at the 3 yard line.

We do not give it to Yeldon.

WTF?

Even if Yeldon gets just 2 yards, it’s now 3rd down at the 1 yard line.

The 1 yard line gives you plenty of options.

QB sneak, play-action pass, fb handoff, etc.

But no... 

Daboll decides to have the QB that is clearly struggling, throw it twice, from the 3 yard line.

[VolsBillsMagic 205]

I would’ve taken my chance with a zone read and Allen keep it since we had a TO left

[Down and Out 781]

Daboll shit the bed 1st half

 

[scbill 175]

As has DC Frazier

[Buffalo13 21,999]

Allen is struggling bc these guys are not open. Like at all. 
 

Diggs needs to take over this 2nd half. 
 

Also, Singletary seems to have been benched. 
 

lastly, the defense has done nothing. They better step it up. They are getting killed. 

[VolsBillsMagic 205]

If they are going to stick to tight man, no excuse not to run McKenzie on a jet sweep. If he gets past the line with a block or two, he could house it. Also a screen with yeldon 

[seandelevan 17,539]

Offense has been vanilla all post season. 

[Woody 15,794]

Daboll outsmarted himself.

Yeah, it's like they completely went away from what worked all season 

[Psycho79 4,949]

We haven’t had our asses kicked in a while. It sucks when it happens. Especially in the biggest game in 27 years. 
 

 

[seandelevan 17,539]

I blame McDermott

Funny how the offense all of a sudden looked 2017 once the playoffs started. 

McDermott: hey Daboll man we gotta protect the ball. It’s playoffs now. We can’t be doing any crazy shit like we were doing earlier k man? Cool. Nice talk.

[daryls61 8,294]

Our WR's being blanketed like they were was something I did not expect. The Bills certainly didn't try and protect the ball like @seandelevan said though. There was just no one open and Allen didn't take the short passes. He seemed to be looking downfield. 

I wonder if the mystique of playing Mahomes made him think he needed big plays when just taking what was there may have been a better strategy. 

[nealpellecchia@yahoo 1,213]

He waited almost a whole half to throw short quickly like Mahomes was doing. Throwing into double coverage repeatedly. We finally met a good team on its game.

[nealpellecchia@yahoo 1,213]

We needed to move the chains. They took away the other stuff. He's still waiting for the play to develop when he has no time. Just what they needed. Mahomes playing smart west coast stuff. 

[VolsBillsMagic 205]

We got out coached today pretty badly. They are nearly impossible to beat when they play well, but we didn’t help ourselves at all with scheme

They roughed us up a bit too. Was that coaching?

[nealpellecchia@yahoo 1,213]

Should have thrown over the middle short . Knox was catching the ball today. Beasley did well too. He tried to force the success of the last few games on them . It was a lesson. Singletery drop really hurt I thought. Singletery running into line right past a blitzer...?

Away from what's finally working.

Haha. Let’s see. They scored on every possession after their first and we played uncharacteristically bad in the red zone kicking field goals against a team putting up 15 points a quarter. Yeah I’d say we didn’t just get outplayed on the field alone 

[jpp 262]

We need a better running game...thats it....anyone who still wants singletary is insane.....he is pure garbage....we needed a semblance of a running game to beat a team like KC.....next season bring along Moss...dump MOTOR BIG TIME!!  and bring up Antonio williams or get someone else....AND INCORPORATE A FUCKING RUNNING GAME!  

 

 

[HipKat 38]

DaBoll failed badly tonight. The play calling was consistently bad. Horrible! Worst game I can think of and the O-Line fucking sucked ass

[nealpellecchia@yahoo 1,213]

They had better lines. We'd gone as far as we could with ours I guess. But Mahomes handled the same beautifully. Never tried to hit deeper stuff much after that early drop. His short game was a chains moving machine.

Agreed. It could have been much worse the way allen was holding that ball in one hand still expecting to throw it.

Where was all the trick plays?

Flea flickers, pitches to Mckenzie who throws it to Allen, etc?

The stuff that worked all season...

Not to sound like a broken record, but there was very little play-action - which we feasted on all year.
