Hapless Bills Fan Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 1 hour ago, Tatonka68 said: The ESPN Primetime splash plays have been missing most of the year. The long TD bomb, INT returns, Strip sacks, long TD runs?? As we see it these are not needed to win, but please??? I think this week we get them in Miami. I expect Allen to connect with a long TD bomb to either Foster or Brown. I expect some on defense to snag a pass and take it back for 6. I expect Hughes to show up and strip sack Fitz, I expect Motor to rip off long runs. Lets take it to the next level please. Buffalo 31 Miami 14. And then carry this on for the rest of the Season, Kindergarten is over. Time to put on grown up pants. I posted one pretty durn splashy play from Tre White in the "I just want to watch this again...and again" thread. There's the Tre White interception of Fitz vs Mia That Amazeballs Poyer ballet move to come down with the onside kick vs Mia There was the JuggerKnox play Sweet 51 yd pass (42 air yards) to Beasley against the Giants That's all that come to mind right now but I know I'm not thinking of some that I've seen right now. I guess it depends upon your definition of "splash play" I don't agree with the implication that "grown up pants" = Splashy highlight film plays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure those are nice, but 'splash' plays come and go and are often based on luck. Winning teams more frequently get that way through consistent, efficient, mistake-free play. CJ Spiller and Sammy Watkins are great examples of guys who provided splash plays but were ultimately not reliably consistent players. Im talking one or 2 a game that can change the tide- not just strip sacks. Sound football on all 3 sides plus momentum changing plays are huge- we just don’t do that. Different opinions thats all ?

Drop the damn ball into the basket. Give your wr a chance. Stop throwing these flat missiles..... I'm not seeing that on the long passes. If it's a missile, they can grab it when it goes by. He's just overthrowing guys because he's being coached not to throw picks. Edited November 14, 2019 by Tenhigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like did it go forward or did it not?! Exactly. The issue escalates further when referees make different calls on the same play(was a fumble last year when bills did this same play and the ball was dropped.) When you watch it in slow motion you can not see if the ball went fw or not, and the call on the field was fumble, so there was not conclusive evidence to over turn the call. Should have stayed a fumble. I get that the design of the play is to be a shovel pass, which mean the ball is tossed forward to the man in motion, but in this case it was not.. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 We need Peanut Tillman to come in again and research how to punch that ball out as he was the best. Worth the consulting fee from the owners. He was amazing for years at this skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sums up the boring brand of football we are seeing. Winning is anything but boring IMHO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 To big of a chance for a negative result, so splash plays are out. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CircleTheWagons99 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 On offense the Splash plays are hidden in the salad bowl, so Daboll never reaches for them.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreggTX Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) The only players on our roster capable of big plays are John Brown and devin Singletary. Singletary isn't being used very well and Brown doesn't have a QB that can get him the ball on deep patterns. That said, there is entirely too much focus on highlight reel plays and not enough on winning. The brand of football we are watching today is just not as good as it used to be.
