A lot of our plays take a lot of time to develop. And, the checkdown swings to a back, were afterthoughts in the game plan that didn't work on the field.

Stafford had plugged vision instead of lanes to throw in, and tighter coverage in the secondary than McVay/Coen anticipated. All the deception and finesse in our scheme went down the drain against a tough, hardnosed football team that arrived well-prepared and executed their game plan, part of which weas to beat us - badly - in the trenches.

It seems to me if you're anticipating a rush you can run plays that are designed to get the ball out quick. Possible? I didn't see enough of that. What I saw instead were some play action, Stafford rolling out, all of which was designed to buy more time.

There wasn't much time to buy, so buying more time didn't work. O line against the Bills Dline and their superb defensive game planning made sure of that.
