chris heff Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well, then - I guess he made the same exact bad kick earlier in the game.....That was obviously a designed kick and not an error. Both Marrone and Carpenter said he missed it, what more do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CodeMonkey Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) Well, then - I guess he made the same exact bad kick earlier in the game.....That was obviously a designed kick and not an error. Generally if a HC is going to lie to the media, they lie in order to protect a player, not throw one under a bus to cover their own ass. Quickest way to lose a team is to do what you are suggesting Marrone did. He is simply not that stupid.

26CornerBlitz Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Watch Carpenter's presser where he lies just like Coach Marrone did: http://www.buffalobills.com/video/videos/Thad_Lewis_on_First_NFL_Win_in_his_Hometown/ea8aa409-fb90-4700-892e-59b06ad5af22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wattdogg35 Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 Well Special Teams being unable to tackle aside, just saying love the play calling, agrressiveness, especially after the horrid playcalling last season that cost us 3 or 4 games!

Big Turk Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I 100% agree. Worked perfectly in the Ravens game as well. I never understood why you don't rush the passer in that situation. They need time and to step up as you said. Ryan T. doesn't pull a Big Ben, that's 2 sacks on 2 Hail Mary attempts vs. other teams. Think you mean the Panthers, when Alonso did the same thing, line up on the slot receiver and then move inside and blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26CornerBlitz Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) You have no idea how perilously close the Bills came to losing this game. Just watched this play again on the all-22. The Bills rushed 4 and dropped 7 into coverage. Tanneyhill was forced to climb the pocket by Kyle Willams pressure and as he stepped up to throw, he was hit by Dareus. Without the hit by Dareus, I have no doubt that the pass is on target to Hartline for the TD. Phew!!!

It simply means that Dareus made a play to keep his team in the game. Why is this any different from any other play in the NFL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why is this any different from any other play in the NFL. Because you don't expect your CB to be burnt by a not so fast WR (especially in a desperate situation for the offense)?

Why is this any different from any other play in the NFL. Sheesh, I thought it was a poignant observation. Williams' positioning error at that stage of the game was shocking, and potentially the deciding factor in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 I'm getting an ulcer just thinking about this game. I am glad they won, but man, this game tore at my guts like none other in recent history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The Miami Dolphins needed a hail mary pass in which the QB would need to step into a throw to reach the endzone. Most teams rush 2 or 3 guys and drop everyone else. But not Mike Pettine! he disguises a blitz which worked perfectly except Ryan T. made a ridiclous effeort to stay on his feet and bomb one down there. Even if Miami caught it, I would want the same type of play to be called everytime! I love what this team is doing, the coaches are doing a great job. The fact that they actually "change" gameplans midway through the game if somthing isn't working is what great teams do! Chan Gaily, Jauron etc...stuck with one thing the whole way regardless of the outcome! drove me crazy! We have a bunch of young players being well coached, just need to get healthy and a few more pieces to be legitment SBowl contenders! GO BILLS! The future for a change, looks exciting with actual promise! big Pettine fan, gona suck to see him leave, hopefully we are grooming someone to replace him.

J-Bo Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 Marrone's a liar. Got it. And so is Carpenter who said he didn't get all of it...that's at least two liars!!! I'm sure there's more...right? Unbelievable!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Live&DieBillsFootball Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 The one thing I didn't like was the Bills calling time out before the final play. That gave the Fins time to take a breath and think about the play they wanted. I would have preferred to make them rush their last play. Can't argue with the result though.

It's a good idea to stay up on the news about your team before jumping in the porridge pot. Go listen to Marrone's press conference where he explains exactly why he called time out at that point. On the return, he thought his knee was down on the 33. But you can't challenge inside the final two minutes. Instead, the officials are supposed to do that up in the booth. So he wanted to make sure they had the time to do that before Miami ran a play and made the question moot. The Bills didn't get the call they wanted (and should have gotten) but it was a pretty heady decision in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
