This is a standard option that can be audible at the snap. This wasn’t planned but done because of no assignment. Had this been a longer 4th down they might not have done it.

They were like - we are rushing 10 - Bills are too chicken to throw....Bills called them on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill you shouldn’t try and block my punt, my grandmotha did that once, ONCE! McD’s comment to BB after the game. ONCE! Go Bills.

Sharky7337 Posted December 30, 2020 Share Posted December 30, 2020 (edited) I'm so sick of these sports journalists lazy copy cat takes. Inaccurate, streaky, erratic, etc Every single one of them that is a detractor brings up Josh's bad games ( which weren't even that bad and some of it was injury and some of it was gameplan) But you can tell they don't even really watch the team. They said the bills receivers have been healthy all year -- if they knew who John brown was the teams leading receiver a year before -- they would know that isn't incorrect. They said " i went back and watched their first four games" ..... ok so you didn't even watch all his games.... and then you just repeat the popular anti Allen narrative-- hes streaky These people if your gonna have a take at least do the homework to come to it Edited December 30, 2020 by Sharky7337 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happens more than you think. Most of the time the punt team checks the gunners in towards the edges of the line. Ain’t like teams check into a fake every time that happens.

Thurman#1 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 (edited) Yup. Saw this earlier elsewhere. I love that the Pats reporters noticed this. The Bills just had no fear. Agree with TH3 above that it probably wasn't called, just a reaction play, but it still applies. No fear. We constantly hear that McDermott always plays conservative, that he won't take risks. This shows it. When it's smart, he'll take risks. And Lorax tweeted they've been practicing that play all of last year, waiting. Love it.
