Buffalo Junction 734 Posted October 20, 2019 1 minute ago, NoSaint said: more fun to run but the right play to maximize odds of winning is to get down. I’d agree, but that was Hyde’s fifth return for a TD. Can’t argue with him seeing a gap for a big return. It’s not like he hasn’t done it before. 🤷♂️ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chuck Schick 44 Posted October 20, 2019 Just rewatched this, and hadn't realized the block Poyer put on his guy. Poyer is 4th man in from the sideline on the front line....earholes his guy just as Hyde goes up for the ball, clearing the way for the catch and run. Sweet!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Odds are they don’t score get the onside and score again either though. 19 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I'd have gone down and I think he should have. But no big deal. Game was done in any event. Yup. My bigger curiousity is whether our special teams coordinator gave the instruction pre play or not. While it wouldn’t much matter today, it’s the type of attention to detail I’d like to see, especially from a coordinator that deals with rotating casts of character like special teams Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m saying that the player recovering the ball was Hyde who for 2-3 years was one of the best return men in the NFL before he locked down a key role on defense. It’s why they had him fielding punts earlier in the year. He’s also one of the smartest and most reliable players on the field. I trust Hyde to make the correct decision, which the results would indicate he did. If Knox recovered the ball I’d have a different take. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frostbitmic 1,549 Posted October 21, 2019 There hasn't been an onsides kick recovered by the kicking team yet this year therefore it's more likely to be returned for a TD than recovered by the kicking team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Augie 14,726 Posted October 21, 2019 (edited) I have not researched this, but I would say close to 100% of the time, if you are trying an onside kick.....the game is NOT going the way you had hoped. That play might have saved me from night terrors tonight. We’ll never know, but....... . Edited October 21, 2019 by Augie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I heard the call on XM (man Tasker is freaking annoying). After seeing the highlight, I had no problem with him running it in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DC Tom 16,874 Posted October 21, 2019 The officials should have thrown at least three flags against the Bills on that play. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JR in Pittsburgh 1,945 Posted October 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Kelly the Dog said: The league changed the rules a year or two ago that made it much, much more difficult to recover an onsides, mostly by outlawing a team to load up on one side. And then not allowing the kicking team to get a running start. The funny thing about the Hyde play, which was awesome, was that is exactly how you want an onsides kick to be. Maybe a mite long but that kick is in the 90 percentile I would imagine considering how you would want it kicked. Hyde just made an extraordinary play. I thought the same thing; absolutely perfectly kicked ball. I don’t think you can kick a better onsides kick. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch 692 Posted October 21, 2019 Recall in the 1993 AFC championship against Denver Tasker returning a short kickoff almost for a TD, think he got taken down around the 10 yard line of Denver. Can't recall though if it was an on-sides attempt or just a bad kickoff by Denver. Do recall that play kind of changing the game though in Buffalo's favor.
