MDH Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I would have been pissed had he trotted Lindell out there and his kick fell 10 yards short. I knew when they started that drive that they were going to have to get inside the 20 before they had a realistic shot at a FG. I have no clue how anybody has a problem with the decision.

IDBillzFan Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I have no clue how anybody has a problem with the decision.877080[/snapback] Because it didn't work and the announcers made it sound like the biggest bumbleheaded move in the history of the NFL. And we all know we need to accept what the announcers say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deep2Moulds46 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 My problem with the decision is how long it took to make the decision. Rian Lindell and Moorman were halfway on the field...then ran off....then they got the play into J.P is barely enough time for him to run up to the line and snap the ball very quickly before a delay of game. If they had given J.P a chance to get to the line quickly....and possible read the D and adjust......maybe the last play wouldnt have looked so ugly.

Jonathan Paul Losman Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 To say we had to get inside the 20 (37 yard FG or less) is absurd. Wrong decision by all accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ko12010 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 I would have been pissed had he trotted Lindell out there and his kick fell 10 yards short. I knew when they started that drive that they were going to have to get inside the 20 before they had a realistic shot at a FG. I have no clue how anybody has a problem with the decision. 877080[/snapback] It's because the fourth down play just looked like such a bust, people are just flabbergasted, but don't realize that Lindell does not have the leg to make that kick, even though he is really a good kicker. If it had been a normal type play or we had fallen just short, though just as heart broken, would think a little more about how long that kick really was. That play just looked so broken it leaves everyone scratching their heads and tearing their hair out. The play that pisses me off the most is passing on third down when Willis is ripping off big chunks of yardage to the outside. (Or the play where a player showed the worst sideline/backline presence in any play in the history of the game (Royal)) I hope JP is good and pissed, and all of the young guys are so we carry some attitude over into next year and start the year off right.

Wrong decision by all accounts. 877091[/snapback] You are 100% wrong! I sit in the Rockpile and I know for a fact that when the wind is howling, field goals hit a wall at 35 yards. It would have been 42 yards from where the Bills were. There's no way Lindell makes that kick. Now I do have a problem with the playcalling on that last drive. I would have run, run, and run again to eat the clock and get as close as I could. But I guess Jauraon was thinking we still needed a big gain to cinch a FG, which I can see. Even a 37 yarder into that wind was no gimme. PTR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 45 yarder to win is tough with ZERO wind. With the way things were today, it was virtually impossible. Still weird the way it all went down.
