Agreed, but I'd be lying if I didn't say to myself "coaches must have seen something and this kid could be something" and supported their decision. Hindsight is 20/20. The better question is how would the game have gone if KB didn't get hurt? Or what about if it didn't blizzard and NP lit up the Colts? Hypotheticals are so much fun.
For the Bills ML was know as get "Busted Mode". Let us all remember his four game suspension. . . good times. Lee Evans on the other hand I liked very much and wish him Happy Holidays.
Sounds like a BB move. Would've been seen as stupid by the massive knee jerk response that would've followed but in the end he would have been hailed as a genius as the Pats would have had another QB in place for the decade to come while the team (likely the Bills) who grabbed for Brady realized a forty-plus QB doesn't have the same luster.
There are some thoughts in there, I am just not sure they are clear. Yes, if the Bills go into the playoffs following beating the Patriots and sweeping Miami they would have momentum. Is that enough with the talent? OP thinks so. I tend to agree.
No. Limping when you don't make a play versus not limping when you do. I am sorry I thought I made that distinction clear. It's like he's trying to remind you that the reason he didn't make the play was his knee. Sometimes you just don't make the play.
