    OT: Bills couldn’t get half a yard

    and lose.

    and Derrick Henry is a monster. 7 yards a pop and 3TD’s.

    Henry is the ideal big back. He wears down defenses and gets stronger as the game goes on.

      The man is not from this world. Clocked at 21.8 mph on his TD burst

        which is why they have so many 4th quarter comeback wins recently.

        Have to give them credit for committing to the run even when down by more than 7 points in the second half.

        Hopefully once this OL gels Najee will do the same thing for us.

          QB had the 1st on the previous play. Terrible spot IMO.

            If Harris had his speed the Steelers would have had no chance to draft him.

              That is a crazy stat. Henry is a beast.

              I think Najee is the better all around back minus that speed.

                Josh Allen didn’t get the first. Replay showed he was short. Great effort but also great D to make that hit to stop him from extending the ball over for the first.

                What was also interesting is Vrabel refusing to use a time out.

                I’m sure if Tomlin did the same with the same result it would be considered poor coaching.

                  I would like to see what Najee clocks if there is a whole that size.

                  Its crazy watching Henry hit that next gear. Once he hit the second l level it was obvious those DB’s wanted no part of him but I think they also underestimated his speed

                    Obviously if Tomlin did it would would have been a terrible decision.

                    For the simple fact that it was a decision that Tomlin made.
                    And Tomlin makes only terrible decisions.
                    And so this decision would then be terrible.

                    QED.

                      Mike Vrabel didn’t draft Henry so none of this counts. Let’s see him build a team from the ground up.

                        I sorta think it could be more fair to criticize Tomlin because of his history of clock management and time outs.

                        I get a sense Tomlin guesses more based on gut feel and Vrabel knows ahead of time what he’s gonna do in a given situation.

                        No idea if that’s fair. But I can totally see why people wouldn’t give Tomlin the benefit of the doubt.

                          What is this based on?

                          Being a former Pat?

                          Small sample size but I know Titan fans who are tired of Vrabel. I think fans always see other coaches and give them the benefit. Ask fans of other teams and most will praise Tomlin and probably have no idea of what his challenge history or clock management is like.

                            You know when you said we ALL HAVE unconscious bias?

                            Tomlin acts on gut instinct?
                            Vrabel makes planned THOUGHT OUT decisions?

                            How in the world do you know this?

                            In view of the fact that Mike Tomlin has matched Cowhers record I give him the designation:

                            TCFCLTC-
                            The Coach Formerly Considered Less Than Cowher

                              It's well known that Tomlin is not a believer in analytics. Maybe you don't need it to make time management decisions but it might help to confirm or deny his gut decisions.

                              btw, did anyone see the win probability for this game?... with 44 sec left BUF had a 52% chance to win; with 38 sec left BUF had a 54% chance to win
