MGK, theory on this and i am sorry this is just what we do as Bills fans...if they had run Thomas to the left on the previous play instead of the right do you think Norwood would have split the uprights? Although he maybe would have made different adjustments I like to think he would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Donuts, hindsight 20/20, but the more obvious answer is if Levy had his head about him, he would have realized Belicheck, that bastage was only rushing three, we could have ran the ball down their throats and not been in that situation. He had I think it was either 13 or 14 rushing attempts for 135 yards, and to be crazy had another 55 in short passes. He dwarfed the mvp, Otis Anderson in stats. The stubbornness of Kelly and Levy to keep trying the no huddle when if they would have racked up over 225 yards, BB would have had to play more up in the box. We would have controlled the clock, and NYG would not have ball control for 11 minutes in the 3rd quarter. We blew it terribly in that game. Had we won that game, we could have won more. Norwood should not have been put in that position. Had he had to kick under 40, he probably could have made it. I hate even talking about it as I was young and had so much hope. That game should have been at a minimum 26-20 or better Bills and the Thurmonator as the MVP with the most yards ever by a RB in SB history. He has a right even though he doesn’t say it being bitter about such crappy play calling. 3 minutes ago, Talley56 said: Yeah, I was a little confused when I saw the post about him not missing anything the next year.

Canadian Bills Fan Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Anyone else feel sad that Norwood actually wrote "wide right" beside his autograph?

machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 That guy never recovered from that embarrassment. I don’t want to say who, but met a good friend of Norwood who was on the team, And he said he was rattled since. It’s really too bad. It was a kick. I hated we lost that game, but so much was on the team and the coaches, not just one missed kick. It’s crazy it will be 30 years in January, and we are still talking about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
