Dante Posted January 15, 2006 Posted January 15, 2006 Saw Dungy interviewed post-game. He said that peyton called back the offense because Tony told him to in his helmet set. punt team only ran out becasue they were "overenthusiastic." 568778[/snapback] Overenthusiastic punt team? LOL is that even possible? Sounds like damage control to me saving face for Dungy.
X. Benedict Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Overenthusiastic punt team? LOL is that even possible? Sounds like damage control to me saving face for Dungy. 568793[/snapback] I watched the post-game press conf. Dungy didn't say "overenthusiastic", he said "out of habit."
X. Benedict Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 He really said that? 569078[/snapback] That's what I heard. He was asked if he had wanted to go for it why the punting team ran out, and the answer I heard was that (I paraphrase): I decided to go for it and the punting team ran out on to the field out of habit (because it was fourth down).

Orton's Arm Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 Yeah, but when a Bills player questions anything our coaches say, fans around here say, "They're just the players! They need to shutup and do what they're told!!!" People can't have it both ways. CW 568348[/snapback] Peyton Manning & company have earned a higher degree of authority and respect than the guys on our team.
theesir Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 If it was Manning who took over the play calling and tried to throw on 2nd and 3rd and 2 on the last drive instead of running, getting the first down, and getting the kicker a shorter shot, then Payton ought to be getting a LOT more grief today. Terrible play calling.
Johnny Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 what part of the game was this.??......i'm trying to remember it and it's not the first time i heard it.............manning basically told the punt team to get off the field right??????
Spun Posted January 16, 2006 Posted January 16, 2006 I wish the Bills had a problem child like Peyton Manning.
