Hopefully the Bills can be just like them in the total wins too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was noticing that too after we got a FG. I thought for sure it'd be feeding Bell the ball over and over again from that point on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is out there making plays with his feet and showing off an elite arm. Darnold plays like a glorified Trent Edwards while Allen plays a bit like Favre. The same fans that saw him gift wrapping a game to them in the 1st Quarter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 In a nutshell: The Buffalo Bills were resilient on Sunday. The Bills came back from a 16-point deficit and scored 17 unanswered points to upset the New York Jets at MetLife Stadium 17-16. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I just don't understand why they didn't kick the FG instead of punting at the end? The punt ends up a touchback which would be the same as if they were kicking off and atleast this way the Jets have to score a TD. I kept expecting them to get into range ad then the kicker would redeem himself by kicking a perfect FG to make up for the rest of the game and get a win. Atleast it all worked out and their kicker was probably given a one way ticket back home as he got back to his locker....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Crowder is a real pain in the ass. Bills just shut it down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they miss the FG, Jets take over at their own 43 yard line—too close to FG range. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gives the Jets the ball back with the most field togo, no timeouts and practically no chance. If you miss the FG then suddenly they are like 30 yards from winning FG range.

Adam Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I won't comment on what anyone else said in this threat, until I can fully review for logical commentary, grammar and punctuation. For now, a few thoughts. Allen did some good and some bad. Sure, he led a fourth quarter comeback, but the defense factored a huge part into that, as they kept it within reach. He did a few things early on with short passes that really impressed me. I'll look forward to that development. However, we really need a big (sized) TE and WR to be a regular chain mover for him. He's being asked to do too much at this stage of his career. His arm astounds me. Jordan Poyer is such a player and a leader. Period. Exclamation Point. Oxford Comma.

WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I have been seeing very little national media about the outcome. I think everyone had prepared their articles to praise the Jets, and now are flat footed and don't want to credit the Bills. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Make the FG and you force the Jets to score a TD Its far more likely to miss a 43 yard FG than have a punt blocked, especially in max protect. If you miss the FG, they get the ball at the spot- the 40. So they only need like 30 yards to be in FG range. Odds of a blocked punt when you are in max protect are very low and there really should be no return when punting from the 35. It either goes into the end zone or is so high as to be unreturnable. Anyway, that's my view on it. Edited September 8, 2019 by vincec 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
