First down was a sun for no yards.  Set up known passing situation.

 

 

 

We've run the ball three times total in this game and it's raining : /

I prolly would try and run the ball a little more.

Preferably not the delayed runs that are working my nerves.

Too bad this game wasn't played yesterday 😑

[FootballZombie]

Forrest had good coverage there and looked back for the ball.

 

If that pass is not perfectly on stride it would have been an easy PBU

[tomwvr]

very poor pass defense this quarter.

 

[Skinsinparadise]

So the Bills in one quarter matched their sack total ftom their first 2 games combined 

 

 

[RandyHolt]

I really with JDR would unleash his defense early in games. Instead we play it straight up and are losing 10-0 anyways.

[NoVaSkins21]

Howell with a dime.  Here's hoping that the start of something good

Want to see the balance return. It’s only 10-0. No need to panic. Establish the run, return to the balance that was moving the ball early. Game is far from over.

First down last drive was a run.  For no yardage.  Necessitates passing to get back to even.

He’s gonna have to throw it. Especially now that we are down 2 scores already. 

 

Too earlier to panic like that, especially with results from passing too much already, imo

[Redwards]

Great throw!

Actually, they do.  Especially in the WCO. 

 

QB is responsible for setting the protection and identifying blitzers because the center has his head between his legs and the QB is surveying the field.  
 

Center also calls line protections.  They work together.  
 

But in almost every offense, protection starts with the QB.  

No. They don’t. Actually.

 

Many teams have their OL set the protection. Especially with a young quarterback. Eventually, the idea is that the QB is able to set protections, but it’s not an automatic like you make it sound like it is. 
 

Centers don’t look backwards when they shotgun snap bro

 

c’mon.

[BrentMeisterGeneral]

Incredible throw way to stick at it rook

[Simmsy]

Nice pass.

[Warhead36]

Perfect throw.

[tomwvr]

Nice pass

[Riggo#44]

I love Howell--comes right back and drops on in the bucket for almost 40. 

[Metalhead]

Perfect pass!

No.

that's how you get some get-back, Sam! gorgeous ball!

That sack wasn’t actually on the OL.  It might have been on Howell not setting the protection.  
 

LB came through clean.

Where do you get this stuff sometimes? Whole reason we brought in Gates given his experience was for his ability to call protections. Highly doubt we’re having Howell do that this early in his career. A blitzer is definitely part of the OL’s responsibility 

[NoVaSkins21]

EB needs to get the ball out of Sam's hands quickly or bad things will continue to happen

Now, that pass could not have been much better.

[Renegade7]

Drop it in the basket : )

The delayed power draw “duo” relies on the defense thinking you’re going to pass because the OL is not firing off the ball.

 

I agree.  Do something else.
