BrycePaup4ever Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Did anyone notice that play as the texans were trying to run out the clock? Did he think the runner was down? That cost Buffalo a timeout and some time.
mrags Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Did anyone notice that play as the texans were trying to run out the clock? Did he think the runner was down? That cost Buffalo a timeout and some time. yup. If I recall it was a 3rd down and with the exception of EJs poor play it might be the biggest factor in us losing the game.
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 yup. If I recall it was a 3rd down and with the exception of EJs poor play it might be the biggest factor in us losing the game. Except it wasn't. We got the ball back with plenty of time, and lost because EJ threw a bad pick.
NewEra Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 The pick 6 was the biggest play of the game. Rivers lack of awareness/a brain was the 2nd IMO. No excuse for that. He should've been lit up by the coaches
AllDayADay Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Right..... Could have dived at Foster before the sticks, given the ball back to EJ with 4 minutes to go and we win the game and EJ is still our starting qb. Maybe not... but that was one of the most frustrating plays I could remember in a few seasons. Goes along with the Tuel pick 6 to Sean Smith. I only heard AW talk about it. Inexcusable for a vet guy. I am sure Schwartz gave him the business in the film room.
Augie Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Still inexcusable regardless. He should be an NFL player and know the rules. The two choices are ignorant or lazy. Both are bad.
BrycePaup4ever Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 wasnt there another defender near him? all they had to do was touch him with two hands.
mrags Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Except it wasn't. We got the ball back with plenty of time, and lost because EJ threw a bad pick. giving out struggling QB more time to drive down the field the better.... No???
BrycePaup4ever Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 its likely they wouldnt have come back but a timeout might have helped on last drive
metzelaars_lives Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Except it wasn't. We got the ball back with plenty of time, and lost because EJ threw a bad pick. Ehh be careful there. They punt there, we're only down 3 and EJ never throws that pass. And you're talking to one of the biggest EJ critics on this site.
Kelly the Dog Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 wasnt there another defender near him? all they had to do was touch him with two hands. Ugh! There were two of them. Inexcusable. I think perhaps it was Preston Brown but I don't want to accuse him if it wasn't him. That was AWFUL.
BrycePaup4ever Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 It was like a brain cramp. Were they aware of the down and distance?
FutureBillsGM Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Ugh! There were two of them. Inexcusable. I think perhaps it was Preston Brown but I don't want to accuse him if it wasn't him. That was AWFUL. Yes, it was Brown
Webster Guy Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 It was a HUGE play, gave them the first down and cost us a lot of time. I have never seen a professional football player do something like that. I could possibly understand a rookie making that mistake, who is used to the college rule of being down automatically when you hit the ground. For a veteran pro NFL linebacker to sit there and do nothing was unbelievable. Apparently some earlier posts seem to think that didn't change the game at all because we got the ball back anyway which is a ridiculous assumption. We could have used the run more or some middle of the field routes with more time on the clock.
NoSaint Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) I enjoy that this plays discussion seems to start with "did anyone notice....." Second thread that essentially an identical first sentence Edited October 3, 2014 by NoSaint
BrycePaup4ever Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 was his head in the game? maybe he was daydreaming on that play. thinking bout his bank account? his groin? maybe some beautiful woman in the crowd? idk but i would hope a player would be aware of the down and distance in that situation he needed some Henderson urgency- he dove on that fumble like a boss when cj fumbled.
ricojes Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 (edited) Bone headed play, I was screaming about that one. The Bills would have had the ball with 3 and change and a timeout in their pocket. If EJ converts on that drive, he most likely doesn't get benched. EJ should be pissed at Rivers. Edited October 3, 2014 by ricojes
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted October 3, 2014 Posted October 3, 2014 Ehh be careful there. They punt there, we're only down 3 and EJ never throws that pass. And you're talking to one of the biggest EJ critics on this site. If I am wrong, I apologize. But, I had thought we held them to no points on that drive and they punted. So, in my view, while a bad play, it had no material effect on the game.

BrycePaup4ever Posted October 3, 2014 Author Posted October 3, 2014 you are right the kicker hit the 50 yard fg make it 23-17 on the previous drive. the ball was punted on that drive. we lost 2 timeouts, the 2 minute and a minute of game clock thanks to Rivers and Brown. heady play by Arian Foster though.
