Taro T Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Having Jones & Sanu out helped, but that still was a very impressive win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JujuFish Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 And you take the freaking 3 points on the road, especially when you have a good defense. Dude, you're wrong. It's okay to be wrong so long as you don't defiantly stand with your decision and say you were right. Then you just start looking foolish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 First field goal was a good idea. Playing for the second one was a terrible idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 You don’t put lettuce and tomato on an Italian hero. You don’t intentionally become a terrible hockey team to get a high draft pick. And you take the freaking 3 points on the road, especially when you have a good defense. Wrong. First field goal was a good idea. Playing for the second one was a terrible ideaWhat about the 56yrd one the passed on to punt? I'm telling you we got lucky. https://youtu.be/PHbnQXsyDrE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Why punt it? They proved more than once that game they can take the ball 95 yards on us. So we punt it with 4+ left, they take 3m off the clock and at the worst get a field go to take the lead. Or we try the field go, at worst miss it, and this way when they score we at least get the ball back with some time left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 We got lucky on the Ryan fumble, the Hyde pick, the injuries. We've had teams get lucky on us every single week for the last 17 years, and none of them said sorry. I love this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still maintain the most amazing part of the drought is how we've never had one year where things just go our way and we fall backwards into a playoff spot. I'm not about to feel bad about finally getting some bounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 What is this based on? Your insisting that kicking the FG on 4th and goal from the 1 was a good idea. It wasn't. And if that isn't what you've been insisting, then I apologize for misunderstanding you, but that is clearly how you've come across. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted October 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 He most definitely pinned it to the ground and 99% of the time we don't get that callEh I disagree. He had it before it hit the ground and he's allowed to use the ground if he already has it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iron Crotch Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Trying to build the team with "high character" players (getting rid of talented, but "me first" types) seems to be making a difference. That's a heck of a road win against the defending NFC champs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Eh I disagree. He had it before it hit the ground and he's allowed to use the ground if he already has it. My stream was a little crappy at that point, i thought I saw it hit the ground the same instant his hands closed on it, may be wrong. This game has potential to be a long-term franchise turning point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JujuFish Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 I do indeed think that was the correct decision. What, specifically, is your disagreement with that based on? We ran 19 plays on that drive. 18 of them gained positive yardage. The only one that didn't was a run by a fullback who had 1 career carry before that. We were shoving the ball down their throat and it was working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, specifically, is your disagreement with that based on?I think it was the wrong decision. You've had 0 negative runs and you need 1 yard. Games close and a td puts it away. Weak call by a conservative coordinator. I'm glad we still won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only one that didn't was a run by a fullback who had 1 career carry before that. We were shoving the ball down their throat and it was working. Ok. I don’t agree, but that is much better than “you’re wrong.” Here are some relevant questions: - what has the Bills’ short yardage red zone performance been this season? And what has it been on the road? And what about with the O-line that was in on that play? - what about the Falcons’ performance at home on D in that situation? I don’t know the answers to those questions, but I do know that the best coach the Bills have ever had would absolutely have taken the FG, and that he put together a ton of wins that way.
