Boatdrinks Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 But Chan doesnt go for 2 to go up 7 with 5 seconds left in the 3rd quarter. Point taken. And it's not just easily dismissed with old chestnuts about hindsight. One coach has balls and wants to win. One coaches scared and not to lose. A winning coach sees an opportunity, a losing coach sees possible criticism. There are not many times in games that you score on one play drives. A 2 point conversion allows you to expand the lead to a TD on a single play. Being up 6 doesn't help when you haven't forced FG attempts all day. When the Bills finally took the lead, the 2 pt conversion seemed logical. The lack of guts and passivity may have cost a win when it was in hand. One mistake among many by the coaches today.

RyanC883 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How dare you question the all knowing and omnipotent Chan Gailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterpan Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hindsight is always 20/20 He is an NFL head coach. I expect his foresight to be 20/20, especially when Tomlin's is. And half the stadiums for that matter. Enough excuses already. Its been 13 years. Make the !@#$ing playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree, its like when people defended Leodis bringing out the kickoff against the Pats on Monday night a few years back. They were all worried about the time(was a little over 2 mins left I believe). They were all worried about Brady when the Bills making one first down would of iced the game. Its a gutless, loser mentality that infects this organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Offside Number 76 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Someone should start a thread about how the Bills didn't go for two or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tito1 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Difference between a successful franchise such as Pittsburgh and a franchise like Buffalo. When I saw them line I couldn't help but laugh it off... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
