5ths the charm Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 This mistake wasn't kicking the field goal. It was passing on 3rd down and stopping the clock. 791317[/snapback] Exactly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkman Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 reality check - the bills are winning in a game everyone expects them to lose. 791318[/snapback] Winning by 1 point mind you, but this game looks evenly balanced. At least no domination by Vikes or Buff at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crap Throwing Monkey Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I think that's kind of a stretch... 791320[/snapback] I hope you mean the "expected them to lose" part, and not "winning" part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dibs Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 reality check - the bills are winning in a game everyone expects them to lose. 791318[/snapback] I don't expect them to lose though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crap Throwing Monkey Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Watching the Dallas highlights...Bledsoe's not patting the ball. He is hopping around like he's trying to hold back explosive diarrhea...but he's not patting the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDH Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 791322[/snapback] Not sure ewhy you're slapping your head at that. 3rd and 1 at the 20. You run the ball and try to pick up the first down. If you don't get it you kick the FG with very little time left. If you get it you line up and spike the ball (saving your last TO). In a defensive battle this would have been a better way of managing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loadofmularkey Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I hope you mean the "expected them to lose" part, and not "winning" part. 791327[/snapback] Obviously. I know I wasn't chalking this up as an automatic loss for the Bills. Minnesota isn't perfect by any means, and it is at home. Mortensen, Jaws and Salisbury all picked Buffalo.

Max997 Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 44 yarder is no chip shot. 791312[/snapback] no its not but it was a bad miss that gave the Vikes good field position that theu turned into a 49 yard FG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of at least one former poster (ICE) that would be complaining that the Bills weren't winning because they weren't winning by enough...

gallagher Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'll only listen to someone complain about that play call if they were bitching about it before the pass was thrown. 791335[/snapback] Does saying "They better not even be thinking about passing." before the play count?

slothrop Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 And Losman has only thrown for one first down so far...all the others were runs after the catch, which don't count according to Holcomb's Arm... 791283[/snapback] Montana must have been the worst QB ever under Holcomb's Arm's logic.

Dibs Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 What's the game plan for the second half? 791342[/snapback] More of the same but a bit better.....& a turnover or four. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFLstyle Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 I'm not happy with some of the playcalling. On more than one occasion this game we have thrown the football on third and short, we have to run the ball on third and short there's so many options we could sneak it, give it to Shelton, or give it to McGahee, why do we throw it every time on third and short?
