Broncos @ Bills - Playoff game day thread (1st half)

[stevewin]

Just play every punt conservative rest of game 

[Special K]

Fake punt wasted....thankfully.

[Chaos]

Once upon a time, i had heard a theory the McD liked investing resources in special teams. Real question, am I remembering correctly?

Ok 99 yard to drive

Does Mims normally play special teams?  Shouldn’t it have been a hint that he was even out there?

He’s been the target on multiple gadget plays over years now, just incredibly dumb coaching on our part

That brilliant fake punt cost us like 28 yards of field position, d did very well

He wasn’t blocked. 

Don't nitpick

[ILBillsfan]

If Shakir blocks mins vs just tough ball is endzone ughhhh

[notpolian]

Defense is playing well IMO.  Special teams maybe not so much.

Omg...it hit at the 7. Catch it!

 

Everyone always cries to let it go inside the 10.

Bye bye smiley, your telling me you weren't prepared for a fake against a team with nothing to lose with a coach with the most famous fake in SB history?! Good bye

Smiley owns our bad field position. At least this will almost certainly be his last year

Almost certainly isn’t certain enough for me

[stevestojan]

Even a  FG here would be huge and set up a double dip. Just protect the ball.

It's beyond me how they're never prepared for the possibility of a Fake Punt.

Pretty confident they won’t try it again. Peyton blew his wad with that one

I’ll believe when I see it. McD won’t get rid of his boy.

McD despite working 18 hour days clearly doesn’t study if they didn’t see that coming with Payton… behind … on the road…as the heavy underdog 

Yea because Payton does things like this every game 🙄

 

He did it 18 years ago in Super Bowl so we’re dumb to not prepare for it 🙄

[Einstein]

Alright Brady.

 

DO NOT RUN.

 

Pass out of this situation.

THAT'S ON MCDERMOTT!!! You can't let that happen against a desperate team with nothing to lose!!

 

Inexcusable!!!

On McD because he has retained the constantly failing Smiley!

I swear no team has had as many punts downed inside the 1 against them this year as us. I don't know what you do about that 

Maybe catch a fieldable punt at around the 10 yard line there?

Our special teams is special

Yet we constantly make game day roster decisions based on who can help on STs. It’s a fun combination
