    Two-point conversion? (Or why do I hate a well-executed bad play-call?)

    It was the right call.  They were in FG range with 2 minutes left and timeouts.  They could have kicked it then and gone onside.   The point is they knew they needed just a TD - so they ran the ball and clock.  They ran 4:30 off the clock.  If they had needed 9 - don’t you think they run a different drive.  They had plenty of time to turn that into 2 drives.

    That’s the rub wether or not they had plenty of time to turn into 2 more drives now I get what y’all mean

    Right but if they kicked they'd be down by 8 and then if they scored another TD and didn't get the 2pt conversion they'd be down by 2 and still need a FG. It's the same on either end but if you do it on the first one you know from that point on whether you need to also get a FG.

    Okay I see what you mean now I thought you were talking about only 1 possession after the TD at 15/16 at that time juncture 2 possessions was very unlikely though IMO

    Technically it was the wrong call.  If you miss it you are  9 behind - so  another TD plus 2 points doesn’t get you a tie and requires yet a third possession which there was not enough time for.  

     

    If you make it, which they did, you can tie with a TD and PAT,  or win the a TD and another 2 pointer. 

     

    Since they made it all is forgiven.  Had they missed it there would have been a bigger debate.  

     

    The explanation can can only be momentum, which seems odd since they were pushed backwards from the two yard line and took 4 downs to score.  

    It’s the 9 point differential that makes that call very risky if they KICKED THE PAT the score would have been 24-16 and then they needed a 2 pointer to tie.  They went for 2 which made the score 24-17. If they’d have missed the 2 pointer The score would have been 24-15 a 2 score lead instead of 1 wether it was 7 OR 8 points behind

    Gentlemen:  I hope any questions/doubts anyone had about the quality of the Bills is silenced. The BUF D did more than others vs LJ.  It is interesting to read all the comments from you guys re the BUF play calling. Our Ravens board was going ballistic with the Ravens calls, also. We saw more garbage/gimmick stuff today than we’ve seen all year from the Ravens. Much of that, I think, was because of the success BUF was having in slowing down LJ. 

    We all agree that the BUF OL ought to donate today’s paycheck to Josh Allen’ masseuse and accupuncturist. I said on Sat that I was less than impressed with Ford on the OL. That was Re-enforced today. 

    Other random thoughts:
    Singletary is a nice back..maybe not a bell-cow, but good. 

    Edmunds should be a Pro-Bowl LB for quite a while. Just needs consistency. 
    Micah Hyde likes to hit people. 
    Ed Oliver has Beast potential. 
    Beasley is a PITA for opposing D’s. 
     

    Overall, BUF should be proud of what you have in the Bills. Young & talented. Hope for many more years of BUF-BAL showdowns. 
     

    Now let’s go root on KC. 
     

    Nice take except the bills board here have quite a few gentlewomen too just sayin’ lol  in any case thanks for posting ?
