Fake punt!?

Maybe the worst call I’ve ever seen. You can’t tell me that McD’s personal beliefs weren’t involved with giving that play the OK. That alone was a fireable play 

I dont mind it as a call. But Damar Hamlin getting the ball?

It was pretty bad 

 

 Like someone doing something totally out of character just to be cool- and it all blowing up in their face 

It felt like some Hallmark movie thing. Just completely nonsensical. Hard to imagine what a bonehead play like that does for morale and confidence.

It wasn't as if the Bills were going to be able to stop Mahomes and the Chiefs.  He probably figured they had to score to keep up.  


Then do it with Josh Allen….not Damar Hamlin.

It was the ugliest fake punt I've seen in a long, long time. Even if KC had 10 men on the field (I counted 9 near the LOS and I guess there was just one deep return guy), KC had the LOS stacked to the left, which is exactly what Hamlin ran into. 

Is McD being nice to Hamlin (or whoever would call that fake) by taking the blame? What fake punt would ever have Hamlin involved in what looked like kind of a naked sweep?

It may be that this goes back to the original mistake of keeping Martin active as punter when he obviously couldn't do it this week.

Thankfully it was all negated by a call that I thought never should have been overturned, the "fumbled out of the end zone" on Hardman.

They were hoping it was like a charity play where they let the kid score and acted like they all can’t catch him…. Make a wish campaign for damar. 
 

I am ready for Damar to move on, I’m happy he is alive and well but we need better…

I mean, when you could have Josh Allen have the ball in his hands or Damar Hamlin, pick Hamlin.  Makes perfect sense

 

This right here. It wasn’t just a bad call… it was cringy bad. 
 

Should have just left the O on the field. 
 

It was one of those calls that makes you embarrassed to be a Bills fan.

yeah, it was bizarrely telegraphed. Hamlin stood right behind the center.
