The onside kick by the Bills...this was a confusing play and I still do not understand exactly what happened...
It seemed on first view like the kick was touched by a Patriot and bounced around..and recovered by the Bills. THAT was what I saw...on replay..it was a bit harder..it seemed like someone knocked the ball to the left where the Bills recovered..but if that was a Bill..it would have been a dead ball there...BUT if Izzo or Bruschi touched it first..it would have been live. AND on the replay it seemed possible that Izzo did..but with so many players..impossible to really tell. Moreover, with some Buffalo players ahead of the ball..is that not offside?? I mean granted the kick is slow...but if a player is a yard or two in front..is that not offside?? It was a good type of kick...now if they had kicked the ball harder and it clearly bounced back OFF a Patriot player..that would work...(Saw the Colts do that some 45+ years ago...and THAt worked fine. )
It was just off because it wasn't clear and really seemed more like a Buffalo recovery.
