The Playoffs, The Playcalling and The Refs

[Adreme]

Nothing like the ones that went against us, collectively some of the worst I’ve seen.

I mean that should have been PI against the Ravens to give Buffalo a 40 yard penalty but instead they punted. Thats a pretty big gift.

Ferguson's 15 yard penalty overshadowed a really nice game. He had multiple pressures and a sack.

 

[Adreme]

Perhaps but I think virtually every scoring drive for the Bills was aided or created by penalties

Yes, but except for that last drive I do not think I disagreed with a single penalty. Most of them were just players being dumb and even then I kinda agree with the one on Pierce.

Seemed pretty clear that the Bills were selling out to stop any runs and YAC opportunities, the good news is that most defenses don’t have the athleticism to match that.

We should be in the clear in the future

lamar has also been consistently great against the blitz this year

Good against the blitz and with empty formations.

Just not both at the same time lol.

I was actually more impressed with the Bills D than the 49ers .

I third this statement. Bills defense is legit.

We draft an evan mathis type and oliver will have his ass planted with the way he uses leverage.

any evan mathis types in the draft?

Biadasz and Humphrey are both stud centers

 

[Rusfan]

I think he means the Allen prayer that Jimmy knocked away

Which wasn’t PI but whatever

 

[JoeyFlex5]

Am I right to be worried about what happens in the playoffs? All of sudden when we face good defenses we are really shaky, if we have to see the patriots, Steelers, or bills in the playoffs I will officially be shitting my pants

yeah was never a PI - dan fouts was going crazy over literally nothing

It’s really weirdly inconsistent, it’s either perfect or shit

Well it does appear that teams with an athletic D are making the appropriate adjustments

It’s now Roman’s move because he failed miserably today .

The 40 yard bomb they took where Jimmy both grabbed his jersey and went over the top hitting him in the head. In real time and on replay I was actually surprised they got away with that one.

 

[Rusfan]

Week 14 is apparently the earliest we’ve ever clinched a playoff spot

i think it's more that when it goes wrong it goes incredibly wrong - have any of the big runs we've given up come from anything other than those stretch plays?
