The announcers even said “well if he had just come back to the ball…”
That’s when I knew the fix was in.
Edit before I get flamed: of course I don’t mean a literal fix. But it just seemed odd to me that there always had to be a big conference before even the most obvious penalties were called on the Pats.
Didn’t see it but that reminds me of when we did the same to the Steelers during “Renegade” a few years back. Live by the sword, die by the sword.
Also, that song sucks and I’d like to launch it into the sun along with those uniforms.
By “score 30 easily,” I meant score more than 30. And they wouldn’t have kicked that FG at the end, because they would have needed more.
it’s not that hard.
We’ve started four rookies by my count this year.
This “McD doesn’t play rookies” is one of the biggest canards going. He plays guys when they earn playing time and he doesn’t give a ***** how much service time they have or where they were drafted.
This. Without the last two turnovers we probably score 30 easily and win by double digits, just like last week. People would have still bished about the defense though, because that’s what they do.
But if it bounces into the end zone and doesn’t go out…you have to return it, or risk a turnover and TD. You know, the way the rule was before the league changed it in the middle of the Houston playoff game.
They glossed over it pretty good though. Just like they ignored Diggs not having control before he went out of bounds on that one diving catch, and also managed not to show a clear replay of where the ball was when Maye’s knee hit the ground. That’s the kind of play that usually gets frame-by-frame treatment especially on a national telecast. Not tonight though. And it was like McD knew a challenge would be futile and just result in losing a TO.
Tomorrow their media guys will be saying stuff like “this game will be remembered for 30 years” and “the Bills’ window has closed,” just like they were babbling four years ago.
The realists are up to saying that it’s a long season and every team has a game like this. Most teams that turn the ball over 3 times and have penalties hurt them on almost every drive, offense and defense, lose this game by 30.
