realtruelove Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 from their 33. Pathetic. And then to top it off he punts off a gimmick formation with the placekicker in the game. Who is he kidding. Mularkey must be fired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 He really does outsmart himself.....that is all there is to it.... Sometimes you just have to line up and play smashmouth....which was all I was every looking for from this team this year anyways..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Very weak indeed. Maybe if you've got the 85 Bears defense, you can get away with those kind of moves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MRW Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Yeah, but we really tricked 'em, didn't we? 535595[/snapback] I was watching the game with a friend (non-Bills fan) and he was baffled by this. He was wondering what possible benefit there is to fooling the other team on a pooch punt. Either it's a good punt and you can pin the other team deep, or it's a touchback. Why not have your punter do it? It is his job. Basically Mularkey selected the worst possible option out of the many possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mularkey must be fired. 535546[/snapback] Cuz the kicker can't make a 50 yarder. On the home turf! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanker Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Well, they'll probably say it was a strategic move to pin them down at the 20 instead of giving them the ball at the 33 after a missed 50 yarder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWings Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 For God's sake, it was 4th and 8 and it was still early in the game (the Bills were still leading 7-0 at the time, too). I'm not high on Mularkey these days, either, but we can't jump on him for a conservative call at the beginning of the 2nd quarter in a game they were leading at the time. Sheesh.

kasper13 Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 If the Bills would have pinned Denver inside the 5, the Broncos just would have went on a 98 yard, 17 play drive and scored a TD- just like they did on long drives three times in the 2nd half. A 4-9 record doesn't lend itself to conservative plays or trick plays at any point in a game. Why not go for the end zone? Worst thing that happens is it's picked off. They gained 13 yards on a quick kick. Big F'in deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDH Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Very weak indeed. Maybe if you've got the 85 Bears defense, you can get away with those kind of moves. 535562[/snapback] Actually I don't mind the playcall. With the icy field conditions I don't think there's anyway of kicking a FG and with Kelly "check down" Holcomb in the game the 4th down play would have ended up way short of the first down. Moorman is to be blamed for booting it into the endzone. Whatever happened to kickers kicking the ball out of bounds? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoachChuckDickerson Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 Yeah, but we really tricked 'em, didn't we? 535595[/snapback] We sure did! Did you see the looks on their faces when they realized we were going to punt and they had their field goal block team on the field?!? MM sure took ole Shanny behind the woodshed on that one!!

realtruelove Posted December 18, 2005 Author Share Posted December 18, 2005 And another thing. If we would have actually lined up in punt formation, Denver might have had a return man back. AND maybe that return man would have made a fair catch of the ball between the 10 and 20 or possibly muffed it. BUT NO, we line up in field goal position so the ball can roll into the end zone. What possible advantange does that give us? That is the kind of stupid call that a dumb high school coach makes. The sad thing is that Mularkey would probably defend that call.

TC in St. Louis Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 I remember the GW call v. New England 3 years ago. I was as upset as I've ever been at a coach for a gutless call. It was 4th and 2 from the 31 and he punted. 12 yard punt as I recall. They were tied for first with New England at the time of that debacle. The reason I wasn't as upset this year is that the Bills stink, and I don't care that much about them right now. The reason I don't care that much is that the players don't seem to care that much. I also find it disgusting when MM approaches the refs with 5 minutes left, and he's got a big, goofy grin on his face, challenging a spot that was clearly a first down. Was he joking?
