Logic Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Just now, Billl said: I’m not sure about all that. They kept targeting him all day with success. From my perspective, the Steelers didn't start moving the ball with consistency until Taron Johnson left the game, at which point they picked on Cam Lewis relentlessly. It was attacking the middle of the field after Johnson and Bernard and Spector left that got the Steelers offense rolling, imo. Elam gave up some catches, yes, but nothing back breaking. He was not the liability that his play at the beginning of this year would've indicated that he might be. 1 1 1 Quote

The Josh 52 yard run or the Shakir TD. The run was monstrous, and fun, so I'm giving it to that second both the Allen and Shakir runs. I was watching with a lot of non-Bills fans and those two plays had everyone talking. 1 Quote

UKBillFan Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Just now, stevestojan said: The Shakir TD was top 5 play in the league this year. Add what it meant in that moment of the game, and it’s arguably top 2, and I’m just adding some sand as I can’t think of what other play would be better. That was “we were lucky to get to see it” good. It's insane that Josh did what he did on the 52 yard touchdown, and we're all (reasonably) going "Yeah, that was great, BUT..." 1 Quote
NoSaint Posted January 16 Posted January 16 (edited) Josh. Your iconic guy making an iconic play. shakir was a big one to I’ve it but without it being a go ahead score, it was mostly fun and we would’ve been up two scores without the broken tackle still. We were all on edge of our seats but we were largely set as soon as he caught it on a practical level Edited January 16 by NoSaint 1 Quote

JohnNord Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Just now, Freddie's Dead said: The FG block was the play of the game because it completely changed the complexion. Squeelers came back from 21 down to only 7 down at one point. Luckily Tupac came through to ice the game. I mean - it sure seemed that way to us nervous fans but the Bills really never lost control of the game. Even when Pittsburgh scored to cut the lead to 7, the Bills scored a TD and got the ball right back I don’t think Bass ever should have attempted that FG in the conditions. Everyone hates punting but had the Bills ran the ball instead of throwing incomplete passes they could have pinned Pittsburgh inside the 20 with 90 seconds to go. It’s all hindsight now though 2 Quote
JoshAllin Posted January 16 Posted January 16 The fumble then Kincaid TD, that is gonna mess with the psych the rest of the way and have them thinking it's gonna be one of those days. The fg blocked then gave them hope 1 Quote
balln Posted January 16 Posted January 16 I actually thot they went away from Elam after the int. It was pick on Dane and cam the rest of the game 1 Quote

Look at Pickens stats, he caught 5 passes for 50 yards. Diante Johnson had 4 passes for 48 yards. If they went at Elam, they weren’t all that successful. 1 Quote

When you re-watch that catch and run, my personal favorite moment is Fitzpatrick looking to the sky in disbelief as Shakir gets in the end zone 3 Quote

It’s all hindsight now though Brady's playcalling for two long passes on 2nd and 3rd and 7 were horrible. The Bills were b slapping the Squeelers up and down the field, and we gave them life with that blocked FG. Punt there or go for it, and I'm not sure they ever score (although the mounting injuries made them scoring inevitable). Quote
Jerome007 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 All these plays were surprises. We expected Josh to have a nice gain... and he goes for a TD. Shakir looked tackled... he goes for a TD. Elam was being destroyed on previous plays... he gets a pick. 1 Quote
NewEra Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Elams pick crushed them. Josh’s run ended their season 1 Quote

But I was 100% with Romo that on that 2nd down you run and at least get the clock all the way to the 2 min warning. Unless they have 0 yards or a loss, the field goal would have been nearer too. The game would have been iced right then and there. Instead. it took so much to finally get that W. 1 Quote
Cray51 Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Elam was the most important play, Allen’s was the most impressive. There are two QBs who take that run to the house, him and Lamar. Quote

CLTbills Posted January 16 Posted January 16 Gotta be the Elam pick. It went from being 14-7 to 21-0 real quick. No other play had that kind of swing. Quote

I didn’t love that…but to be fair we don’t know whether Josh was the one to get out of the run and audible to a passing play. 1 Quote
