Rubes

Nothing to add, just want to say I appreciate those of you who go back and look at these things. I was wondering how he did.

How’s this?

Well, considering it was a 25-yard FG attempt and an extra point is from 33-yards away, sounds to me like you also have to assume the FG attempt would be automatic. Thus, the odds of running out the clock and kicking the FG should be better.

Interesting that there is a lot of debate on this. My friend, who is an unbiased observer (not a Bills fan), thought it was a horrendously stupid move by Singletary. I preferred running the clock out and kicking it, despite the risk, mostly because they were tied at the time (a miss would result in OT rather than a loss) and because it was a chip shot. He strenuously disagreed with me. I think it comes down to how much risk you thought there was with the FG. My friend thought it was extremely risky given the weather conditions; I thought he was overestimating that risk. At the same time, I’m probably overestimating the risk of Miami taking the ball all the way down for a TD with no timeouts. But who could really blame a Bills fan for overestimating the risk of total collapse in the final seconds? But that’s really the main issue: how much risk you thought there was in the FG with the conditions.

Why? The Dolphins had one timeout left and the Bills had another play to run, so everyone knew they would be able to run the clock out before trying the FG. It didn’t matter at all.

I mean, you might say starting him could be the best way to get him off the roster...

Say stupid things, win stupid prizes...

Cause he injured himself in practice this week.

Quoted for truth.

Because we were within 13 seconds of defeating KC in three straight games as well?

Baldy does give him a lot of praise there, but he also shows a highlight of Saffold completely whiffing on a stunt, forcing Josh to leave the pocket immediately after a play action fake.

Sweeney gets a lot of heat, and deservedly so, but he kicked ass on that last play. Perfect blocking.

Not a bad strategy, will have to consider it...

F%$#! I have a party I have to go to that night at the exact same time. I thought it would work out perfectly, but no. Crap!

I'm still trying to figure out how this will end up as an Edmunds-bashing thread.

The Bills ran the ball a lot more this week because the Pats**** played a ton of dime defense to try and stop Josh and the passing game. I think I read it was like more than half of our offensive snaps the Pats**** were in dime. They weren't putting a lot of guys in the box to stop the run, and the Bills took advantage. I'm not sure I'd say it was the Bills specifically planning for a run-heavy game as much as it was Dorsey/Josh recognizing the looks the Pats**** were giving us and making the right play calls. Encouraging to see (1) the Dorsey had the right plan for a light defensive front, (2) Dorsey/Josh made the right calls, (3) the offense executed the run plays well, and (4) Dorsey stuck with what was working when the Pats**** stayed with the same defense.

Epenesa's sack was pretty vicious. I was waiting for the flag on that play for intentionally slamming the QB to the ground.

I wish there was a way they could stop mic'ing up John Murphy.

Morris is questionable with his injury. Give me more Gilliam, I say.

I feel like this thread has come full circle...

I thought the new rule was that the QB is down at the first point he starts to dive forward (similar to where he's down at the point where he starts to slide)?

If we could just hammer the Pats**** on Thursday, man, that would be a nice, relaxing weekend of watching football stress-free.
