It Ain't the Defense

[RaginDave]

If you watched the game online you can see that the throw could’ve been caught by Williams. He never even looked for the ball. He didn’t even realize it was in the air until the DB caught the ball.

It is still on ZC, he can not make that type of play that deep in his own side of the field. Punt and live to play another day, don't turn it over. I agree that RW should have tried to make a play, but I doubt he really thought the ball was going to be thrown to him.

He was throwing the ball to a guy who was open, no blame on Zeon there. Williams needs to be better there. I'm sure Leger would say the same thing.

I will have to rewatch the play, in real time it appeared as though he was attempting to throw the ball out of bounds and failed to do so.

I just rewatched it, I will say this, I think it was a little bit of both. Williams could have fought threw it and tried to help his QB out, no question about that. But that play should not have been called and that throw should not have been attempted. He would have been better off throwing that ball either out of bounds or into the ground at someone's feet towards the sideline. He put too much air under it and it turned into a 50/50 ball that Williams did not attempt to make a play on.

Coach admitted in the press conference Zeon was trying to throw the ball away and there are better ways to throw the ball away than what he did. He basically said the INT was on Zeon because he was trying to throw an incomplete pass and did it poorly.

He took responsibility for the first one before half, saying it was an error in play calling, saying this was a play that Zeon had not run many times and he should not have put him in that situation plus it was micommunication between the QB and WR But the one in the second half was on Zeon. I still agree that Rob should have made a better effort.

If a defense can create havoc rushing four, that team should win every game. We do that until we get a lead. Then the scheme changes and we play not to lose.

That's why asked if we should go 5 front. Especially when the score is 30+to7 and we need to keep the margin.

Keep hearing and reading people talking about the defense. It ain't the defense. The defense dominated a competent offense for 3 quarters AGAIN Saturday night. The defensive coordinator and the special teams continue to let the defensive personnel down every week.

Special Teams is an F- right now. Luke Paschall, what is going on? Literally nothing coming out of the PR unit. KO team can't stay in their lanes (the most basic teach in the book) and KO specialist can't keep the ball in the field of play.


Lamar, again, goes to a 3 technique late in the 3rd quarter and Buffalo starts ripping off chunks of yardage. Absolutely no adjustments. Just continued the soft zone, 10 yard cushion on the islands, no pressure BS. F-

Offensive play calling in the second half was F- again. How do you get away from the run game up 31-7? Just plain stupid.

Point is, we are WAY too talented defensively to be having these collapses defensively and it's not on the players.

Right on, tried of seeing BAD COACHING DECISIONS.
Dez, you better start looking hard at Coaching Staff and the decisions they’re making

I thought so as well. But when they replayed it from a different angle the ball was where it needed to be. But Williams never looked for the pass, nor attempted to catch or break it up. He simply never saw it.

We scored 14 more points after 31-7. Not sure that’s a F- offense.

[Turbine]

Oh I agree it was on ZC. I believe (and we will never know what he was thinking) was that he had the arm strength to throw the ball away (out of bounds), but he was falling off his back foot and throwing it to the sideline.

Was that the first or second interception?

Second.
