OT: Buffalo Went For Two

[TommyD4207]

I don't think that BUF is all that unhappy today. They may get to play us in the first round.

It will be a very short postseason for the Bills if that happens.

Depends how healthy the Patriots are.

Depends how healthy the Patriots are.

They will be much healthier than the last time they played.

Muahahahahahaahaaaaa!

Enjoy!

Sarianni played to hang on and let his defense win the game.

The Rams would smoke the Eagles.

The Rams have been losing games they shouldn't

They were either terrified at the potent PHI offense or their kicker.

My guess is that BUF was 4-1 favorites to win if they went for one. I guess we'll see the analysis tomorrow.

It's easy to second guess. But I'm ok with a coach going for the win. T

Thankfully they failed on the conversion and this hands us the division Crown this week instead of next week when we beat the Dolphins. Then again games against Miami are always tricky so who knows for sure how that turns out.

What matters in the end is results. We have ENDED Buffalo's division title streak.

Say hello to the New England Patriots, the new Kings of the AFC East!

I'm betting the Bills Mafia folks are furious!

Ultimately they were playing for nothing. They know we aren’t losing to Miami at home with the division and 1 seed at stake.
I think he was happier to decide it on one play than to have his team play an extra quarter of football.

This, to me, is the most rational explanation. Go for the win, protect your QB.

Buffalo wins that game imo if they make the field goal. Philadelphia wasn’t scoring again.

Fully agree. Buffalo had all the momentum. Philly was a deer in the headlights.

Even with all that being said, all it took was a simple throw to convert the game winner (but Allen blew it).

If you assume the chance of winning in overtime is 50%(and that is mostly a fair assumption) there is basically no statistical difference between the chance of winning by going for 2 or kicking the PAT and playing in overtime.

This means you are better off going for 2 as there is less chance of injury.

 

[Froob]

it was a terrible decision if their goal was to win the game. they for sure would have won in OT unless they had a fumble into field goal range

???

50% in overtime???

TEAM ONE
An Offense that dominated the second half and is one of the best finishers in the NFL.

TEAM TWO
An Offense that has completed ZERO passes in the second half.
