Looking Back  

252 members have voted

  1. 1. Who is mainly to blame for the loss?

  2. 2. Who should have started at QB?

  3. 3. Looking at the last play objectively, the correct call would have been

    • A Touchdown.
      51
    • Forward Lateral. Dead Ball. Bills should have won.
      201

RJ won that game. Took us down for the winning score. Special teams blew it, and they looked unprepared for a possible throwback theefore I blame coaching

 

if Flutie would of started we would of lost way before the throwback

its hard to argue Rob Johnson should not have been the starter....when he walked off the field, he had done everything he needed to for the Bills to win.  Maybe Flutie would have had them up comfortably, maybe not, but RJ 100% had them in position to win.

Come on, you know Teef well enough to know that he's more of an Applebee's kind of guy...

Yeah, but that requires him  to dress up.  That means designer jeans, sandals, and a long sleeve button up shirt, untucked for maximum coolness.

He did eveything including running out of the endzone for a safety, and taking so many sacks he got blown out of his own cleat

So, if Tyrod is winning 3-0 & the other team scores a TD on the last series, then you would say that Tyrod "had done everything he needed to for the Bills to win".

Bills special teams coach lost the game.

 

 

I think even wade  knew about this play as a head coach he needs to be involved at that point and be another reminder 

 

PS I like wade as a coach just saying I think a head coach should have some involvement if they knew about it

Music city disaster I remember  well.  I was sitting with my late cousin at Outback.   We both worked there at the time and he said "if they call that legal this tv's going through the roof"    

 

Miss that guy.   Blame... there's plenty of that to go round .   I think it starts with meddling, and ends with lack of discipline.

I chose "Other," because you don't have the players to blame.  The ST players are to blame.

I defer to the Ph.D from UB who, at the time, did some sort of geometrical computer analysis and concluded it was a forward lateral.


At least that is what I remember happening at the time.

 

 

I did my own analysis- Wychek was behind the hashmark, the a-hole that ran it back was in front of the same hashmark when he caught the ball. That's all I need to see.

The ball is thrown directly over the 25 yard line. You can follow it the whole way. It still is a tough call to make, especially without HD cameras. It is too close to call, and even if the ball was more obviously behind the passer, it still would have gone for a touchdown. If it is too close to call, the call on the field stands.

Simple - coaching fail. 

 

1rst and 10 from the 23 with 20 seconds left, no TO’s, down by 2. You run the ball then spike it with 3-4 seconds left. Kick the field goal as time expires. 

 

Apparently Dehaven lobbied for this because his STs were hit hard with injuries. 

 

The Tennessee defense was stout. It was solid work by RJ to score 16. He outplayed McNair by a mile. Flutie wouldn’t have mattered, may have not even gotten them in position to win. 

 

Add undisciplined special teams not staying in lanes, also coaching -  Wade owns this one.

1. Undisciplined ST led to the loss, which has to be blamed on coaching.  

 

2. Flutie should have started, its unheard of to be sat down for the playoffs in the manner that happened.  With that said, RJ came off the field having led what should have been the game winning drive

 

3. As much as we want to blame officials, there is not a stitch of evidence that the lateral was forward... replays show that there was a referee on the sideline with a near-perfect view of the lateral and he immediately indicated that it was legal.  Lets stop w/ the referee stuff on this one.

 

They blew it!

It was almost definitely a legal play.  Not sure it was quite definitive enough that they would've overturned it if it was ruled a forward pass on the field, but in no universe was there enough to overturn it after the call had been made.  The refs got it right.

Most have forgotten that the kick was on FIRST DOWN as you said, so it's 100% on Wade.  No one leaves time on the clock.  RJ lost his shoe and maybe Wade panicked but the FG should have been the last play.  Also, the Bills o-line had multiple backups playing and it should have been a great, grind it out  road win for the Bills.  Sigh.
