NoSaint Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Actually, no. I'm not a huge fan of unnecessary trickery. Two QBs on the field at the same time when we only have two dressed, makes this a risky play and incredibly unnecessary. Risky to hand it to shady? Come on...

DC Tom Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 It easily could've gone for 15 and you'd like it. Miss a block and it's dumb. It effectively told Indy to expect the kitchen sink to be thrown so they have to respect every option. And that pressure was kept on with harvin motioning from behind TT in the shotgun shortly after. That we are willing to do the unusual creates space for the usual to succeed. If it went for 15, it would still be dumb and I would still hate it. A dumb play is a dumb play.

Freddie's Dead Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Dumbest !@#$ing curve ever. You know the play sucks when people are reminiscing about CJ up the middle. It was a hanger, and Indy crushed it into the upper deck. Rex Ryan pre-game player meeting quote: "We're built to kick the #$%^ outta people. So our first play from scrimmage is going to be some finesse trickeration". Fact. Edited September 13, 2015 by Freddie's Dead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorkington Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Risky to hand it to shady? Come on... Players get injured away from the ball all the time. I guess we'll agree to disagree. I didn't like the playcall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I didn't like it as a first play. I would have wanted TT to get that first play, get comfortable under center, ease into the game. Maybe you run that the third or fourth series-- or even in the 3rd of 4th game. But, it looked fancy-- just wish it would have worked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoSaint Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) Players get injured away from the ball all the time. I guess we'll agree to disagree. I didn't like the playcall. Remind me how often the qb gets hurt on a handoff, or a guy in motion in the backfield that doesn't block? Both were likely at higher risk stretching before the game. Don't like the call all you want but that's a silly reason. Edited September 13, 2015 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdand12 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 would a looked better with some decent blocking. i liked the fun factor. now if the Bills had lost.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Cassel sucks. If EJ was in there maybe. I too assume it was part of some deal to appease Cassel or trigger some incentive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyC81 Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I thought that Cassel had something in his contract about starts. I wonder if it is per game or something more about 8 or more. Rex trying to piss off management? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree. Introduced an unexpected wrinkle that had to be accounted for the rest of the way. Some defensive assistants were surely quickly assigned to having to sort out the wild meh (wild Matt probably works better but....)

Uffalo Ills Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I believe an extension is due for T-mob, this week or next. Imo Get out! Terrible idea after what happened with Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 It was a dumb call and they kept the trickery in the bag after that. But it doesn't hurt to put on film the fact that you are willing to try things. I'd like to see them go back to that play later in the season but actually give it to Tyrod going the other way.

TPS Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 Perhaps. But I don't think anyone (or at lease many) are arguing it was a bad play, just that it was a bad first play. And I agree. The reason it was on the first play was to make them think that "Taylor is our starting QB" was a ruse. Kind of a "I'm just !@#$ing with you play..."

BillsFan-4-Ever Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 (edited) I believe an extension is due for T-mob, this week or next. Imo Look who showed back up. props ... so when is EJ getting cut again? One week does not warrant anything. imo It was a hanger, and Indy crushed it into the upper deck. Rex Ryan pre-game player meeting quote: "We're built to kick the #$%^ outta people. So our first play from scrimmage is going to be some finesse trickeration". Fact. Actually the way I heard it.... he said it the night before. it was more like this ---- Why not us? Why not now? We're built to beat the out of people. Lets go do it. Lets make the rest of the league feel our presence. - Rex Ryan 12 Sept 15. It gives the cheating scum something to think about this week. highly doubtful.
