I love the coaching staff. I did not understand the decision on 4th and 1. Made no sense. They gained 20 yards on the punt.
bad decisions that sequence of events was a bit odd in the sense that the Jets hurried up to the line but did absolutely nothing and Pennington didn't even line up for half of the snap. It was a good idea to line up quickly but Pennington gave up so freaking early on the count that it made the Jets look like fools...Pennington looked like he wanted no part of the Bills today. Mangini's fault is not taking a time out to at least assess the situation because if he thought it over, he would know that our punter has not a soft touch in his bone and we would basically net 20 yards on the punt in a touchback and hence we should've gone for it on 4th and inches. This also begs the question, what does Ben Graham practice all week if he never ever attempts to drop a kick inside the 10 towards the sidelines?? The Giants' punter does it all the time.
For crying out loud, judging by the post match press conference it sounds like the call was a QB keeper and Chad checked out. If you remember up at Ralph Wilson we also had a 4th and 1 and Chad converted it. Do you not think the Bills knew what was coming? The only sad aspect is that we dont have an alternate money play for 4th and inches
Whose fault is it that the players didn't show up? The team seemed generally unconcerned with their play, the offensive gameplan was surprisingly uninspired, and the defense couldn't come up with any answers. This is a failure from top to bottom, no question. We just have to move on and hope that somebody learned a lesson.
o please, all we had to do is call a timeout and regroup our guys. it wasnt 4th and 2 it was 4th and inches, the qb sneak works 95% of the time. that call was just pure bs. we score on that drive were still in the game. mangini fuked up bad there
Disagree... The result of that call was a Bills punt. It was the fumble on the next possession that was the killer.
The Entire team thought they they would just show up and get the win. The game would have been over sooner if the Bills completed there first two third down bomb attempts.
I've found very little to complain about from this coach, he's earned a solid A so far in my book, but I have to question NOT going for it on 4th and less than a yard..............that was a "key" moment that could have turned this game around.....
