billsfanmiamioh Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 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 3 3 11 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Worst call of the game - maybe the season - and McD confirmed they did call it. Romo speculated maybe that was an on field audible bc they saw something. Chiefs only had 10 men on field? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goin Breakdown Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Yeah that was dumb. You have Josh on the team but you give it to Hamlin. Should have just punted anyways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC883 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 was the worst idea. Freaking safety running it. McD strikes again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Frankish Reich Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 How long were they waiting to unleash that play all season. Should have buried us there but once again they dangled the carrot in front of Bill’s fans before taking it all away. I thought we would find way to pull it out after that fumble in the endzone but we didn’t make enough plays in the 2nd half after outplaying the Chiefs in the first half.
