Interesting stat from the game.

[tavian]

rams ran 18 plays in the red zone (28% of their offensive plays) and 21 plays inside the bills' 30 (33% of their offensive plays), and not once did they throw a pass into the end zone, not once

Cuz Keenum can't reach the endzone from 30 yards out.
Aren't you keeping up?

Near as I can guess...

A - that wasn't the play call
B - receivers were all covered up
C - Keenum didn't feel like throwing touchdowns

Sad. Some sorry ass play calling. Grow a pair

lol
You know i could have sworn I heard Fisher yelling in Case's headset
DON'T DO IT! DON'T YOU DO IT!!!

Now why would we risk a TD throw when we can safely run gurley 3 times for 3 yards then kick a FG?

No throws into the end zone. It's hard to believe but we saw it. Kept yelling for it. Whatever happened to those late TE releases they used to do? Or tackle eligible plays. I am sure Keenum can throw that far but it doesn't mean he can zip it into a tight window btw. And why no fades? Britt and Uick practiced those in camp.

Yeah I remember watching hard knocks and seeing Goff stay late after practice perfecting the fade with Britt. Hopefully we will see this happen soon.

 

[A.J. Hicks]

All this with Brian Quick showing his ability to snatch the ball in tight coverage the last couple of games.

 

[Legatron4]

Our wide receivers are getting open and catching the ball finally this year. Britt looks great. Tavon is running good routes and Quick is torching guys deep. Just get them the ball.

Shocked but not surprised (if that's possible). Still playing to not lose

 

[Psycho_X]

Fisher lives and dies by playing not to lose. Can you imagine how this season would be going if GZ hadn't suddenly started making every field goal?

 

[Dodgersrf]

If only we had a QB, as good as the one in Minnesota.

The bend but dont break philosophy is born from, when the offense gets near the endzone, the redzone, the windows are smaller...The condensed field makes it unlikely that a pass will go beyond the boundary...or the back of the endzone...teams can use superior athletes to cover the goalline, hence every throw can be contested. Every window is tighter...You need superior arm talent, and confidence in that arm talent, to squeeze a ball in there....I always talk arm strength:deadhorse:...bunch of guys always say in here, "eh, he's got plenty of arm...:blah:"....and they know who I'm looking at.:giveup:...Arm talent is not only for outs, slants, and digs....it's primary purpose is to fit tight passes into small windows around the goalline....Look at the way the ball is always floating out of Keenums hand:giveup:....Some will say this is fine, and most times a touch pass will do...it's easier to catch (for defenders too) and requires a skill all its own...But ask any receiver, what type of pass is necessary or even preferred in traffic, and I'd bet all my ROD$$$ they'd pick a bullet passball:...that arrives quickly, and they can then cover & protect themselves from the coming contact that follows....

You can't play this 2000 game with a noodle-arm and be successful..Not on 3rd downs...and definitely not in the redzone...:deadhorse:

Playing scared is a better word for it IMHO

Playing not to lose is the Fisher way
