Billsfan1972 Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) I was thinking that the Bills should have gone for two at 23-16. If successful, then the fg KC kicked to make it 26, would have meant the Bills still could tie the game with another TD & 2 points. To me you need to be aggressive & wonder what the wonderful sheet says is the play at that time😜. The last drive (and int) meant nothing as it was a 9 point spread (2 scores).

Do The Reich Thing Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 (edited) You can’t do that and McD would’ve been crucified had they not gotten it and we stopped the chiefs to score another TD and miss the xp to tie Edited October 20, 2020 by Do The Reich Thing 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TwistofFate Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Well the flip side of that coin is you don't get two, and need a td and extra point just to tie, not to win. It was the right call to go for 1. Get a stop, score a Td, and take the lead. I'm fine with the decision. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan1972 Posted October 20, 2020 Author Share Posted October 20, 2020 Or score a td and one 2 point convert and win 24-23. There was plenty of time left and KC did get a field goal. We're talking about one of the best offenses in the NFL. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If successful it gave your defense the ability to bend and give up a FG to keep it a one score game with plenty of time on the clock and your timeouts to slow KC's grinding of the clock. In a game where your defense is playing better I think maybe taking the point would have been better. Just now, Billsfan1972 said: Or score a td and one 2 point convert and win 24-23.

The defense did almost force a fumble to give the offense the ball down 6 deep in KC territory. So it almost worked. I do think you do go for 2 to try and go down 5 given the context of the game, but its not the worst call either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jobot Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Agreed, totally should have gone for 2 in this game. Essentially kicking the PAT last night was an equivalent decision as going for 2 with no time left while the PAT could have tied the score. This was more aggressive to kick the PAT, and go for the win with 2-touchdowns. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought at that time going for two made sense however we know McDermott would never do that because he has so much confidence in his defense.

You have multiple shots for your defense to make a play...which they almost did. Bass doesn't miss a 52 yarder at the end of the half things change too.

Given that the gameplan was to try and give up field goals instead of TD's it would have made sense to get 2 to give your defense the ability to give up a FG and keep it a one score game.

It not only would have tied the game and possibly made it so that the game was within one score longer but it also would have given the team some momentum going into the half. Its a 52 yarder in the wind and rain. I am not cutting Bass over it but that's a big miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistofFate Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 My only question with such a bad kick is, was it laces out??? They didn't show a reverse angle on the kick. It was long and straight just waaay off target. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njbuff Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Wouldn't have made one bit of difference. If the Chiefs needed a TD if they led 23-18, they would have CERTAINLY gotten that TD to put this game away. It was pretty evident that the Chiefs knew they could do whatever they wanted against the pitiful Bills D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SDS Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I said it in the shout box as soon as they scored they should have gone for two. I have heard the other argument, but I think mine is better. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I told him to settle down and that the bills made the right decision. He was right; I was wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
