Milanos Milano Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 There is nothing worse than being an athletic QB watching a hailmary pass in the end zone. Allen would have wanted to be in there, because I understand that feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Settle down. This. It took a prayer for them to win, which unfortunately for us was answered. And the refs really stepped it up in the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hahaha!!! Yeah, it’s cool to finally have a quarterback again that can keep you in the game or win you the game more times than not. Tied for 2nd in game winning drives. Pretty cool stuff! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Allen being possibly hurt on the play, there is absolutely nothing to lose by allowing your athletic star QB a chance to save the team he lead for a game winning drive. You pull out a D lineman and leave Allen in the end zone. It gives him a chance to play hero ball. If you ever played QB you would understand.

This isn’t High School where the QB was usually by far the best athlete on the team and maybe played all 3 phases. The hard thing about a play like that is tracking the ball. DBs spend a lot of the their lives tracking the ball. The QB, not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha that reminds me of The Waterboy 'last game of the season cant hold anything back now' quote...I think our only chance the way that play worked out was sending more guys on the blitz though...I still can't get over how perfect that pass was. Granted we wouldn't have known that was going to happen when the play was called 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man with No Name Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 It is great that allen does what he does at the end of games. that said, our offense looked as hopeless as I've seen it look in all 3 of allen's years during most of the 2nd half today. combine that with AZs running game looking almost unstoppable for a quarter and a half, it was tough to watch. this was easily the toughest game for me to watch all season.

Winters is definitely terrible in every aspect of the game. Yea it seems like we know we didn't need that win and theres more important games to come which takes some of the sting out of it for me...the offensive line which at times looks like the strength of this team was getting absolutely embarrassed in the second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloRebound Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 Coaching was fine. Your $10m per year defensive end can’t dive on the ground and let Murray get off a hail Mary throwing across his body and your $17m per year CB has to knock the ball down and not let a 6’1” WR with a 36 inch vertical dunk on him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like poyer couldve not played the ball and just blasted Hopkins when he caught it too...looks like he was trying to do that but only ended up taking out tre lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It honestly doesn’t matter at that point. The QB is going to chuck it into the end zone whether in 10 seconds or 5 seconds. If you aren’t going to bring the house, then allow the QB who is athletic as can be a chance to win for you on defense. Just now, Simon said: But you just don't understand.

The qb couldve been taken out before the receivers even got near the end zone though...with the gift of hindsight on our side here I think more pressure was the way to go. Thats what was so crazy about that throw...they flushed Murray out and he threw an absolute dime in the perfect spot where only Hopkins had a realistic shot at it. Murray and Hopkins could go out there after the game and try to recreate that play 100 times and they'd never do it again lol Edited November 16, 2020 by Generic_Bills_Fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as a QB, we want nothing more than a chance to win in these kind of situations. A lot of QBs probably couldn’t do it, but I trust a hungry Allen more than I trust a 4 man rush. I think athletic QBs deserve the right to win for their teams on hailmary situations. Edited November 16, 2020 by IronMaidenBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
