We could donate $7 to a charity that specializes in foot cancer or something in his honor... Or $12 in honor of the points he left on the field. I was think $3, one per kick.

SDubills Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 They could've score on their last drive. But opted to run out the clock and take a knee. The missed feildgoals would have been negligible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was indeed one of the worst coaching calls I have ever seen. That kick had zero chance of making it through the uprights. Even punting, or throwing a hail Mary for a pick were better options.

I agree, was the dumbest calls I’ve seen. Gain nothing by getting 3, lose everything by a miss! Well they lost! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn’t he miss 4 FGs? If so, then if he had made them the Titans would have had 19 points, not 16. Nevertheless, I think the point is, even if he had made 3 out of the 4 FGs, I think we still win since we were in FG range at the end. Despite that, I’m still thankful for the misses, though I do feel bad for the guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I was at the Minnesota @ Giants game & from time to time I would turn on the Redzone channel on my phone. It seemed like every time they went to the Bills game, Santos was missing a kick. At one point I thought they were replaying a prior miss. I saw the Duke TD on my phone and started cheering wildly in the stands of Met-Life while the Giants were getting their butts kicked & yelled out "Duke freaking Williams" several times. I came close to not saying freaking, but I was able to maintain my self control. My friend who is Giants fan who I went to the game with tried to calm me down to no avail.

Not sure they win it if Bills don't repeat the same coverage mistake they put down on tape and allow the punt to be blocked. But we did, and they won. And they did, and we won.
