Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 There were a number of plays that I think qualify for the “play of the game”— i.e., without it, the game could have gone the other way. Elam pick, Josh Allen 4th down sneak conversion, Shakir TD, etc. what do you got? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simstim Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Whilst it could be argued that a few other moments were possibly more important, for sheer enjoyment, it's one of two for me. The Josh 52 yard run or the Shakir TD. The run was monstrous, and fun, so I'm giving it to that 5 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logic Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) The three you mentioned are the biggest candidates, but...the Elam pick wins it for me. Not only did it keep 7 off the board for the Steelers, I think it was also a huge confidence builder for Elam. A turning point in his day. He was getting absolutely picked on on that drive, and rather than "throw it to whoever Elam's covering" being the edict of the day for the remainder of the game, Kaiir said "I can do this", and acquitted himself reasonably well the rest of the game. Massive play at a huge moment in the game. Edited January 16 by Logic 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The play of the game goes to the 12th man. The articles I read, things I heard on radio, and broadcast of the game, hats off to my city of Buffalo and Bills fans that can go in person! It truly is impressive! No game without its city and fans! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brand J Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The Shakir TD because the offense had kinda been lulled to sleep and there was an uneasiness after getting outscored 17-3. Once he scored I could exhale. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBFL Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Every time the defense made a play we benefited with points. That was the difference. Excellent team game. Previous games we’ve not done much with them. Pickens fumble and Elam’s INT were it. Could have added Freirmuth no-fumble in there too. Defense played legit, especially with injuries, while Josh and the gang followed up with some absolute haymakers to put the game to bed via Khalil and 17’s angry runs.

And while he did give up a TD, I think he played better in the 2nd half 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freddie's Dead Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The FG block was the play of the game because it completely changed the complexion.

stevestojan Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 The Shakir TD was top 5 play in the league this year. Add what it meant in that moment of the game, and it’s arguably top 2, and I’m just adding some sand as I can’t think of what other play would be better. That was “we were lucky to get to see it” good. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logic Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Just now, Billl said: I’m not sure about all that. They kept targeting him all day with success. From my perspective, the Steelers didn't start moving the ball with consistency until Taron Johnson left the game, at which point they picked on Cam Lewis relentlessly. It was attacking the middle of the field after Johnson and Bernard and Spector left that got the Steelers offense rolling, imo. Elam gave up some catches, yes, but nothing back breaking. He was not the liability that his play at the beginning of this year would've indicated that he might be. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoSaint Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) Josh. Your iconic guy making an iconic play. shakir was a big one to I’ve it but without it being a go ahead score, it was mostly fun and we would’ve been up two scores without the broken tackle still. We were all on edge of our seats but we were largely set as soon as he caught it on a practical level Edited January 16 by NoSaint 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean - it sure seemed that way to us nervous fans but the Bills really never lost control of the game. Even when Pittsburgh scored to cut the lead to 7, the Bills scored a TD and got the ball right back I don’t think Bass ever should have attempted that FG in the conditions. Everyone hates punting but had the Bills ran the ball instead of throwing incomplete passes they could have pinned Pittsburgh inside the 20 with 90 seconds to go. It’s all hindsight now though 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s all hindsight now though Brady's playcalling for two long passes on 2nd and 3rd and 7 were horrible. The Bills were b slapping the Squeelers up and down the field, and we gave them life with that blocked FG.

But I was 100% with Romo that on that 2nd down you run and at least get the clock all the way to the 2 min warning. Unless they have 0 yards or a loss, the field goal would have been nearer too. The game would have been iced right then and there. Instead. it took so much to finally get that W. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
