Billsfan1972 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I said to everyone at my place to kick it to like the 10 yard line and have them run 6-7 seconds off the clock. Some thought squib, but then you can just fall on it. Did anyone think kick it out of the end zone for a touchback???? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaMilBill Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Not me. I thought squib it all the way. Although a high short kick was probably the correct answer. Regardless, kicking it out if the end zone was by far the worst option 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Returntoglory Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I immediately hugged my wife after the TD and then said " Now. Let's squib the MF'r and burn some time off of the clock!". I then told her that as a Bills fan, I've been through this before and I do not count my chickens and even told her that I hope the hug was not a Jinx.

No...especially when Pringle was the one deep and not Hill and the Bills were money on those type of kicks all year long, usually pinning teams inside the 20. Or at least squib it on the ground to force a player to pick it up and do something with it. Edited January 24, 2022 by Big Turk 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCofNC Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 No idea why they didn’t force a return there, would have burned at least one play off. Really poor game management 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly I did not think they would squib it...But I did think they would have Bass hit it high and a little short...They have done that at times this season and Bass was able to not only kick it a little short of the goal line, but also in one corner...They actually had some nice success with it at times. I think they were just scared to death...They saw the speed burn us already and were scared to do anything but kick it through the endzone. In their defense all they have to do is hold them to less than 40 yds in 13 seconds and they win...So...Anyway... 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMF2006 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I was all for the touch back. The Music City Forward Lateral was definitely in my mind. No chance of that with a TB 4 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I didn't think they'd squib it because I've seen plays where it hits a guy halfway down the field and ends up near midfield, but I did think he was going to kick it high and short of the goalline to force a return 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billzgobowlin Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 No why does no time go off the clock for a kickoff. Don't like that one bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I did think of both options but truthfully my brain was overloaded I didn't know what I wanted them to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Nope. Kick it high and short of the goal line like we have done all year. Didn't think there was any other option 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iccrewman112 Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I would not have squibbed as an up back can field and give themselves up instantly for only a second loss. The short pop up would have been my preferred method. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnBonhamRocks Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I said squib, but would have been fine w/ a sky kick too. Did they have Tyreek deep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 We know the result of the play...not the play call. It's entirely possible (though today it's more convient to yell about coaching) that the play was called to kick high to the 5 and force a return and our young kicker was too hyped up and put too much leg into it.

Captain Caveman Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 No, I was very surprised when they went for the long kickofff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JackKemp Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 (edited) I was honestly afraid of a run back. So I was thinking kick for a touchback. Not in my wildest dreams did I imagine the Bills playing that soft for 13 seconds. Edited January 24, 2022 by JackKemp 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmanfan Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I thought squib but after the game realized the clock doesn’t start till the ball is touched. They just fall in the ball and declare themselves and it saves no time. Then I thought they should pooch it to around the 5 and force them to run it back which would take time off the clock. But listening to Sal right now on WGR and he said he asked Feely on the sideline at the time. Feeler said you kick it into the end zone; too many weird things could happen if you let them field it. Feeley said you rely on your D to do their job for 13 seconds. and they didn’t. 1 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLEN1QB Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 Our coaching staff isn't capable of figuring that out. You take the worst coaching staff ever assembled and 100 out of 100 times they win that game with 13 seconds left. All except ours! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted January 24, 2022 Share Posted January 24, 2022 I have a feeling we wanted the pop up kick and bass mishit it and McDermott isn’t one to throw anyone under the bus 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
