Not at the table Karlos Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I was screaming for the spike. I play a lot of Madden though so... in 20 some odd years of playing madden I've neve spiked the ball. Carp was on the sidelines going nuts signaling to spike the ball.

HuSeYiN_NYC Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I learned not to give Rex credit last night. Just when i thought he was finally showing leadership and teaching Darby a lesson by pulling him from the game for playing bad, turns out Darby was not feeling well.

LI_Bills Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I could care less if it was Rex, Crossman, Carpenter or the water boy. It was a heads up moment at a time when it was easier to lose your cool over the horrible officiating. I saw a post-game where Russell Wilson acknowledged it as a smart move. To those who made the call in the comfort of your home...congrats, I certainly didn't think of it but I don't look it as an on field no-brainer given the circumstances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 I agree with this, and I doubt Rex was drinking, so........ he had an advantage. Did you get counted in the ratings? say what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincec Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) The refs tried everything possible to keep points off the board there. It worked after the first couple tries failed. It sure seemed that way. If at first you don't succeed... Edited November 8, 2016 by vincec Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted November 8, 2016 Author Share Posted November 8, 2016 This was not that genius of a move for an NFL coaching staff to come up with Have you ever watched a Bills game, sir? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Can you give an example of bad clock management in the last two years? I recall a few occassions when he left too much time on the clock at the end of the half for the oppsoing team - perhaps the Bengals game last year. Other than that I don't recall any in-game time and field management decisions that were terrible. Why were they running the clock before the punt with 3 minutes left? They wasted 20 seconds when they should have punted right away. It didn't cost us but it was really bad clock management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 say what? A reference to the ratings being down as you were streaming on your phone. How many people don't get counted as they continue to provide more options other than conventional viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jumbalaya Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 If Rex was so darn smart maybe he should have had Darby run a couple of sprints during warm ups to see if he could go ten yards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 I gotta give Rex some credit. Just when I thought the Bills had to have Schmidt kick the FG with an unknown holder (who is the backup holder?), Rex says spike the ball to get Carp back on the field. As much as I berate the guy for melting down in critical situations, the spike was a brilliant call in the clutch. I didn't think of it. How many of you did? Well-played Rex Ryan! I thought it was brilliant and said so in the shout box when it was happening. Rex is a much better coach than what people give him credit for. The fact he managed to get us to 8-8 last year with all the injuries was impressive, meanwhile playoff and SB contenders like Dallas and Balt combined for less wins than us because of injuries and they both have a deeper and more talented roster than us.

OhDozeBills Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 Sure he gets credit for that, but is also to blame in part for our defensive performance and not making adjustments in the first half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 It was mass chaos and I actually give him credit for not getting himself ejected. I know how fired up I was with the sequence at the end of the half and I'm just a fan! I wonder if they will fine him for swearing st the refs - I know he has been fined with the Jets multiple times - or if they are smart to let it slide given their admission of error.
