Duh, then why did they go for a two pt conversion? A. Because that makes it a 3 score game. This is professional football and kickoffs have been run back for touchdowns. Also onside kicks have been recovered. Not very likely, I get that. But paid professionals play until there is no more doubt. Unless you are pushing for a mercy rule to be installed? Yup. Not likely but it does happen. One onside kick was recovered this week, I believe. But most of the Fins fans understood. There were definitely a bunch of whiners there, but most got it.

JESSEFEFFER Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 18 minutes ago, cd1 said: I thought the same thing. I wished Allen showed more class. However, (I have not had a chance to re-watch yet) it has occurred to me that Josh might have not been waving but making the hand motion of "Yapping" or "flapping your jaws". I thought he was waving but I also wondered why all of the refs right there seemed to ignore it rather than flag him for TAUNTING. Wilkins is heatedly complaining to the Ref about something and Josh was pointing out that the game was all over but the bitching and moaning, the last refuge of losers. So, yes, I think you have it correct and most everyone else had it pegged wrong as a wave. Lots of videos of it on Twitter. One is from the Bills' official account. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Did you guys actually read the thread the OP posted? Many/Most Fins fans do NOT agree with the whining about the Bills running up the score - for a variety of reasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starrymessenger Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I guess some of those folks did not see Allen after the game with his arms around Tua giving the kid some encouragement. By and large the players don’t hate one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharky7337 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) It does seem like the bills broke that team last year in that last game. But they are really grasping at straws now to find reasons to blame us lol Edited November 1, 2021 by Sharky7337 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 So normally I am not a fan of running the score up. But on the accusations of the Bills doing it twice vs Miami I don't think it holds up to scrutiny. Exhibit A Week 17, 2020 season - It was 28-3 at half time. Maybe the Dolphins think we should have let up mid 2nd quarter or something? At which point the Bills pulled the starters. We scored 4 touchdowns in the second half. A pick 6 from a backup corner (Josh Norman). Two rushing touchdowns from our FOURTH string running back and then, fair enough, the last touchdown was a 56 yard pass play, maybe the Bills didn't need to call a deep shot there. But most of the second half we ran the ball to just milk the clock with Antonio Williams and he had 12 carries for 63 yards (at over 5 yards per carry) and two touchdowns. Not the Bills' fault Miami had quit and couldn't stop a 4th stringer. Exhibit B Week 8, 2021 season - The Bills are up by 9, both teams are out of time outs and it is 3rd and 6 from the 7 yard line. If the Bills just take a knee there and then let the clock run before kicking a FG they are only up by 12 and can potentially still lose the game with a FG and a touchdown (although admittedly with only 35 seconds remaining), but there is a risk there.... a return touchdown or even as Lofton mentioned on the broadcast a blocked FG return for a touchdown that means the Dolphins can onside kick and try a long FG to win the game. I don't know that the Bills necessarily called that boot action for Allen to score.... I think they knew they might which would put the game completely away but I suspect they would have been content with him getting inside the 1 for the first down. I get it the chances are small but running up the score to me is keep scoring when the game is totally safe. If the Bills were already two touchdowns up before that play I think they just kneel, but they weren't. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoTier Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I had to ROTFLMAO at the whiney ignoramus who claimed that other teams and other QBs didn't/don't run up the score ... and used Brady, Brees and Mahomes as examples. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He only said it's a fact that it goes on, not that it's defensible or reasonable. I don’t remember his exact words, but he 100% was excusing the act of trying to twist Allen’s leg.

But let's be honest. How pissed would you be if let's say Mahomes was flexing hard after a TD/ chirping, and then they went for 2 when the game is out of reach with 1 minute to play? Haha. Just a little perspective i think sometimes. If my DT was committing penalties, playing dirty and talking s*** the whole game I wouldn't have a problem with an opposing QB chirping back Edited November 1, 2021 by Not at the table Karlos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphadawg7 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I dont know why this is so confusing for some of the Fins fans and even some of the Bills fans in the other thread about this. 1. Bills could not take a knew and run the clock all the way out. 2. Bills had to score or get a first down to essentially officially end the game. 3. Bills need to keep clock running, so only a run will be called. Allen rolling out can simply go down on his own if no lane is there for either the first down or the score. 4. As far as the 2 point conversion, how is this even confusing for anyone? Without it, the score is a 2 score game still. If dolphins run the kickoff back or score fast on a big play, they could still kick an onside and try and score again. Converting the 2 point conversion made it a 3 score game and unofficially ends the game. There was nothing classless at all about the Bills decisions. Anyone who cant see that just wasn't actually paying attention to the final details of that game or doesn't understand football. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkeerie Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Those whiny Dolphins fans have it all wrong saying the Bills disrespected the Dolphins. It's because the Bills and McD respect the Dolphins that they went for the two points to put the Bills up 3 scores versus 2. On the previous possession, the Dolphins hit a big play to put the ball at the 2 yard line, ran it in and then scored a 2 pt conversion. Plus the Bills have been on the receiving end of flukey plays that lose a game they thought was won. They've seen teams score quickly and then recover onside kicks (see Texans scoring 14 pts on a TD and recovered kick vs Rams.) Those fans are showing more disrespect for their team than anyone.

Royale with Cheese Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Allen basically told Tua he was terrible. Encouraging and positive words for sure but he's not saying that to a QB who isn't struggling. Sink Dolphins sink. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing I would add is that Sean McDermott has nothing but respect for this game. He preaches it every day. He is not going to engage in behavior that is, or could be perceived as, disrespectful. That is not who he is. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy10 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I don’t think I’ve ever seen Josh punk on someone who wasn’t punking on him first. But the camera, like the lunch monitor, always focuses on the retaliation, not the initial incident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty98 Posted November 2, 2021 Share Posted November 2, 2021 (edited) I just don't understand the whole why try to go up 17 complaint from them...Because even if we collapse you can't score more than 16 points over two possessions. It's effectively 3 scores and over then Edited November 2, 2021 by Monty98 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
