Ralonzo Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Feels like this game was the other side of the coin of the Colts game. Everything went perfectly wrong vs Indy; everything went perfectly right last night. Balance is restored to the universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just putting it to a place where only Knox could go up and make the grab. Beautiful toss pretty catch IMO Most nonchalant playoff TD pass of all time.

It really felt like a curse was broken. Consider just these plays: 1) Allen tries to throw the ball away, yet amazingly Knox catches it for a TD (an extraordinarily difficult catch too). 2) McKenzie apparently fumbled the opening kickoff, but it went harmlessly out of bounds. 3) Milano tips a ball, and Wallace makes a diving interception off of it. 4) punt hits Neal in the foot, and Hyde was able to not only recover it, but then run it back 50 yards. 5) Doinked in PAT by Bass. 6) several wide open patriots just dropped balls. We played a great game in every way. But it was nice to get those good luck bounces for once. The Bills came out and physically dominated NE. Breaks are the residue of talent and want to. NE was intimidated by the elements and our great fans, then the Bills imposed their will on a team that couldn't deal with the most physically talented QB in the game. Throw in a resurgent O-line, and a RB who has finally arrived and a receiving corp that can dominate any secondary, and it was easy for the Pats to quit.

Excellent decision He had one tipped at the line Happens He hit Diggs with a poorly thrown catchable ball two yards past the LOS and Diggs didn’t get it Meh Agree, he's a bum, maybe we could get a 6th or 7th in a trade?? Him and Bass, missing 2 XP's 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsbackto81 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I think the biggest break we got was drawing a really good officiating crew that only flagged plays that were obvious, blatant and egregious. No ticky taks!! So refreshing to see refs just letting players play and letting that determine the outcome, not a whistle. As Bills fans how can you not appreciate this.

Wyobills89 Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 I was rewatching the game last night and that throw away to Knox. Josh was looking at refs holding up pointer finger motioning for a first down. He Def thought he threw it away, and then was looking for the late hit penalty. Amazing Knox got that. What a great performance from everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since they all hold every play I’m fine they they didn’t call any holding. Pats fans were complaining coming into game that Judon was being held all the time past 5 games. Hey welcome to the NFL! J Hughes career has been a holding fest 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 It was just one of those games. You see games like that more frequently in hockey than football. It's like the random NHL game where one team wins 9 or 10 to nothing, and everything they throw at the net randomly goes in...and the losing team can't buy a goal. There was just no way we were going to lose last night and no way the Patriots were going to win. If we can keep even 80% of that going, we'll be in great shape.

We played a great game in every way. But it was nice to get those good luck bounces for once. Did the Bills catch some breaks, sure. Every break? Nah. We had 2 PATs blocked. Pats WR made a couple circus catches they could have dropped. Bills WR (Davis and Diggs) dropped I believe there was a handoff that Jones was lucky to make and not have fumbled. I'm not sure I entirely believe Allen that he was trying to throw the ball away and Knox caught it. I think Knox caught it because their "scramble rules" for that play put him back into that corner. I think Allen thought he put it too far back in the EZ for that. The biggest break for the Bills was Hyde's perfectly timed interception on Jones. the Pats WR had a step on Wallace, and if Hyde hadn't gotten over there it would have been 7-7. I'd say "lucky" but players make a lot of their own luck on plays like that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going completely off the box score and the numbers adding up. I think it was Sanders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
