The turning point

Most of the folks looking for a pivotal moment yesterday will point to Kenny Moore's fumbled punt.

I disagree.

The moment for me where I really felt we were going to lose was on the failed 4th and 1 attempt.

I knew what was coming. My girlfrend knew what was coming. Anybody with half a brain and a fifth grade education knew what was coming.

More to the point, the Bills knew what was coming.

Last year, we were good enough to make that play even when teams knew what to expect. This year, we aren't, and the coaching staff needs to be smart enough to understand that and adjust accordingly.

They didn't :nonod:

I agree with you on the 4th and 1. I also think the previous call on the 3rd and 7 in that scenario was horrific. That 3rd and 4th down were the turning point.

Moore should have secured that kick...but it isn't Moore's fault Carolina's hopes came down to a last drive where they had to score a TD and then a 2pt converstion just to get the game into OT.

I agree that the three interceptions were the most damaging as they led directly to points on the board, but I think the missed field goals contributed more to the loss than people realize. By missing out on those seemingly few six points, we slowly started to abandon the run and play catch up. And because of the two earlier missed field goals, Fox went for it on that failed fourth-down conversion.

Not to mention those missed field goals killed what little offensive momentum we had going for us.

The turning point was on Tuesday when we started prepping for the game. We did nothing to avoid their superb ST's and again failed to do ANYTHING to get the offense moving. This team has no heart, no desire- check that, our Offense has no heart and look absolutely content punting the ball away.

There are a couple of good reasons to bench Jake. The attitude change is perhaps the most important.

that 4th and 1 was a boneheaded call just because it was so predictable and it was obvious that they were so ready for it.

not sure i know that was the turning point (i vote for kasay missing the first and jake throwing his first as key points).

      You realize the Commanders and Texans both had trash rosters. That's how they ended up with the #2 pick.   How all of sudden they go from bottom feeders to a playoff team the following season?   I think you don't realize the true impact of a franchise QB. It's crazy people still trying to debate the value of the QB position.   Y'all living in the 90's football isn't played that way anymore. The Baltimore Ravens dominate defense won in a different era. This is a QB era. You can't hit them like you could in the past. The rules have changed in favor of the QB.   Look at the elite teams in the league they all have elite QBs. Without the QB your franchise is going nowhere.   7 years under Tepper and fans still haven't realized this. Well keep ignoring the QB position and we will keep sucking. It's really that simple.

      Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

      He needs to retire. His short stint returning to play for us showed Ho bad his shoulder had degraded.  No team is going to sign him. As soon as he retires the celebration of his career can begin.

      The recipe over the last 5 years: 1. draft a guy with high athletic ability at a position of need.  2. play him out of his natural position because you have a big hole to fill. 3. watch him struggle.  4. let a young and promising talent grow depressed and apathetic because a God forsaken franchise is ruining what he has busted his ass his entire life to achieve.  The only reason Luke moved to the middle was because Beason got hurt. Think about that. It’s complete arrogance of the coaching staff to tell a player where he’s better suited… or the mark of a desperate team who drafts out of need.    This is what happens to teams that draft poorly and have no depth. Constantly working from behind and drafting for need.
