Steptide Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 We had some major things go our way in the end of that game. Starting with the 2 point conversion that got called back and sent the Colts back another 10 yards. I don't know about you guys, but I don't think we would've drove the field and scored with a minute left if the Colts didn't get that penalty Then Webb throws and interception and sets the Colts up for a field goal with 8 seconds left and vineteri misses by like a foot sending the game to overtime Then we do something ridiculous and punt on 4th and 1 for a net gain of like 15 yards. Anyways, you all know how it ended. It's nothing short of a miracle that we won this game. I can't remember any recent game in the last 10 or so years where so many things went our way and we won 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaccof Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Yes, it was a bit uncharacteristic and oddly exciting to have something go the Bills way. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Heart attack game. And yes they won, and yes I was in ecstasy, but that punt was such a gutless decision it leaves a weird bad taste now looking at McD. He played for the tie! Players decided otherwise.

unclepete Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 A lot definitely wen't our way. Not to mention losing both starting QBs. Hopefully this leads to a trend of good fortune for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homey D. Clown Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 they historically lose these types of games, defying all odds at times. In fact, the Bills are losing at a factor of 3 over just standing at the 50 yard line and letting the coin toss decide who wins, rather than attempting to actually play the game.

Royale with Cheese Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Isn't the rule, the WR must still attempt to run his pattern? Once he made contact with Hyde, he just stood there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATeam Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 With all the talk about our punt, the most idiotic move in that game was by Pagano. How on earth do you sit on the ball after the interception and count on a 43 yard field goal in those conditions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gugny Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 That bull **** call on the 2-point conversion was 10x the gift that the bull **** call on Von Miller in week 3 was. I'll take the good bounces. Bills need to take advantage now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juice_32 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Everyone had the same feeling when Webb threw that pick in the 4th. Thank goodness for Pagano. McD and Webb need to get him a nice Christmas gift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jackington Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 You can't block a guy before the ball is thrown. I guess they were lucky the refs called it, but it was definitely a penalty and the only reason the guy was open. Colts were lucky they made the extra point...

TBDlurkerSINCE07 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Definitely thought the flag on the 2pt play was going to be for Unsportsmanlike Conduct on the fans throwing snowballs. It was a late flag, so I thought it was after the play and the announcers had just mentioned the fans doing such. Anyone know why (if) the flag was so late? Or was it just not seen? I can imagine the ref throwing the flag on a play like that 5-10 seconds after the act occurred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teef Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 i was wondering if the flag just wasn't seen by the crew. if i remember correctly, so of the players on the field were reacting to the flag before we even knew there was one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rsxfirefighter Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 you can run block down the field all day long, but you can not run block on a pass. And that was exactly what it was. he wasn't running a pattern, he was engaging in a run block. They ran the play action, and I wonder if the WR knew it was going to be a pass to begin with. I could see the WR screwing up the call thinking it was a run, cause he could have easily ran a pattern there and slowed up Hyde just as much. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eball Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Definitely some lucky breaks in that game, but also some things that didn't go our way like Benjamin going out and Peterman being concussed...if those two guys play the whole game I don't think it goes to OT. Peterman looked efficient in those conditions and was really showing some chemistry with KB. The Bills also survived a -2 in the TO category, which is almost unheard of for recent teams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zac Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm not sure what people are talking about on the 2-point conversion play. He was clearly 2 yards from the line of scrimmage and picked off our guy. It's an obvious call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaviorPeterman Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 We certainly got lucky but the reality is we probably should be talking about losing to a terrible 3 win team at home who plays inside a dome half the season and has one of the worse (lame duck) head coaches in the league. I had a feeling all week it was going to be a typical Bills Nov/Dec home game and we'd find a way to give the game away and lose. And it seems McD did his best to lose the game as opposed to win it. Regardless this team needs to play much better if we are going to be the Dolphins who I still think are the better team right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
