But we heard of him

pretty sure the Bills have been tied to having interest in him the last two offseason but he does not want to play in Buffalo. He is a very effective player for his contract though.

lol. People (not you) are mis interpreting this thread. I think you could have argued for punt, FG Hail Mary attempt there. And all three were not great for various reasons. My point is to evaluate decisions based on the info when the decision was made and not based on results. Most people just go by the results and then B word when they don’t like said results. It was a close call, glad he went for the fg because that was an awesome moment.

Its like its the NFL or something

Because Daquan Jones had a long term injury if I am remembering correctly. Look not saying they cannot use more talent I am just saying the scheme played is what allowed them to run effectively.

Do people not understand the Bills scheme/strategy against some teams is to let them run? They have light(weight) fronts with light boxes. Yesterday's strategy did not really work so I get it but if they wanted to stop the run they could do a much better job. Adding a run stuffer wont change much, it is not what they actually need. If you want to argue their scheme sucks, ok this is not a personnel thing it is a strategy thing. I dont have number but Tua held the ball some yesterday and there was zero pass rush even in those instances...He was working progressions which is not typical for him. The Dolphins OL had a great game.

Usually they try and call the timeout so they don’t get the “practice” kick and my question is about data. Is the percentage of good fgs better or worse with icing. I understand the theory of it….

They clearly scheme to “let some teams run”. The dolphins are one of them. It has been successful but today it felt like they could move at will. No huge plays which is what the bills want to prevent. But they churned out first downs all day

Last year this team got to 6-6. At 7-2 after the resetting they did is a good place to be.

What, invite him to your game...he will fit right in

Finheaven wants the team to beat him https://finheaven.com/threads/i-hope-they-beat-poyer.385155/

Exactly, I think today was a little bit of "all things revert to the mean"

It wasn't as rowdy when it went through as I would have thought it would.........

Thanks giving is come up

I think they had one left, I think the move was to hold it in case he missed. Is there any evidence icing works?

There was 10 seconds left

What is the probability of him hitting it, probability of a block? You dont always put a kicker out there, what if it was 71 yards? I think they said 3/6 50 plus....its not just short kicks he misses. People would not blame bass, they would blame McDermott and still want to waive Bass.,

My take was it is just about the kicks, his job has been on the line for weeks, ever live that way? Honestly I have not but it has to be stressful. I mean fans sent him death threats after he missed a kick, he wants badly to be the guy everyone wants. It seems super likely all the emotion is about his status with the team.

He made the kick, amazing moment....but was it the right decision? Be honest, how many of you were holding your palms up saying what is he doing? If he misses that kick, I think he pitchforks are in McDermott more than they are now. I used to play poker and the whole with with that game which has a luck factor is you have to evaluate your decision at the time you make the decision, the outcome or what might have come if the rabbit camera picked up your one outer is irrelevant. If he misses that kick, Miami has 5 seconds and a timeout from the Bills 49, which is a 66 yard kick, could they have gotten 5 yards and their own look at a 61 yarder? I think they could have. Curious what others thoughts are on this topic, I know a bunch will not want to engage because he made it. The people who second guess every outcome that goes the wrong way seem to be silent on almost every decision that that has a positive outcome for the Bills.

He has not had a lot of big kick moments. KC game was brutal….this was a great kick! Hope it snaps him out of his funk!!

So your difficult question is should they rest if they are locked into the 4 seed?

Normally they lose that game.

The jets non challenges were 100% correct. People want it every which way. If they challenged the jets game plays and lost then it would be look at all the lost challenges. The challenge today instead scratching. People are hyper critical of this staff for every decision. The thing I would say is in real time you have the time factor where sometimes you have to make a decision without complete info. That was not today though.

It’s the year of the wrist and forearm injury

Just defer the 2 and 3 seed? Sounds logical
