ToGoGo Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It's a shame we lost. The "Butt Safety" would have joined the pantheon along with the "Butt Fumble". 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Long Suffering Fan Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 I was actually thinking that this is one of the worst things about this loss. 😀 This would have lived in infamy, but instead will be reduced to a footnote. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 Except that mistake might’ve saved the Phins asses in this game. I know it changed the deficit from four points to two, but we got far worse field position because of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 (edited) Probably won them the game. We would’ve gotten the ball around the Miami 45 down 4 with a minute left. Instead we got it at the 25 down 2 with a minute left. With the OL a complete mess at that point, I trust Allen throwing a TD in that situation, more than I did having to work sidelines to get a FG attempt.

mannc Posted September 25, 2022 Share Posted September 25, 2022 It was the best thing that could have happened for Miami. I almost think he did it on purpose. We should not have even rushed the punter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToGoGo Posted September 25, 2022 Author Share Posted September 25, 2022 I don't know guys. 1. 45 yards for the touchdown OR 2. 45 yards for the field goal Historically, the second option is way better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed. Now as for the safety rule: punters are just too damn good these days. A free kick from the 20 is usually going to mean 60 yards in the air, sometimes more, with plenty of hang time for coverage. So what you saw today is kind of the norm - the team that was awarded a safety gets the ball on the wrong side of their own 30. I don't think that was the idea when the rule was written. So let's skip the free kick and give the "scoring" team the ball at their own 40, or 45, or midfield. That will end a lot of the discussion about "taking a safety" being the best option when a team is pinned back on 4th down deep in their own territory. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
