Still trying to figure out LaFleur's thought process in kicking that field goal. Anyone have any ideas?
Both the Packers and Bills head coach will be thinking the same thing tonight. Kicking FG's cost both teams a chance.
Eh. The Bills not going for 4th & 2 and 4th & 3 is more excusable in a game that's within reach with their offense than the Packers giving the ball back to Brady with 2:09 on the clock down five.
Before that, why didn't Rodgers try to run in both occasions? He just chose to pass. He could have run for a TD in both occasions.
The Bills are a better team than the Jets.........but I wouldn't be thrilled if I was a Bills fan. The Bills aren't close to a title. Their defense got exposed and so did their QB. I don't think its one of those things, where you pat yourself on the back and say you had a good season.
There's an analytical theory in the league that says you should to for two a possession before you need to because you're going to need to eventually anyway. I don't quite understand it either but it exists. Way too early for the Bills to pull the trigger there as they should've made it a two score game without question.
A lot of low class and stupid behavior by the Bills on that play. Pretty clear that they think the game is over anyway.
"All penalties offset." Not that it matters, but how ridiculous. And it actually does matter slightly, since the FG puts it back to 14 points.
The people's champ telling it like it is. How the fuck did Rodgers not stay on the field and revolt against that decision?
To me that’s the most amazing part of the whole thing. Everyone in the country knew it was the dumbest decision in history. How could Rodgers possibly NOT know it? And for the record ... how about running the ball on 1st or 2nd down?? You can’t risk putting yourself in a 4th and 8 situation. It simply can’t happen. You’ll never see worse management in a game deciding “goal to go” situation.
That Chiefs O is how it’s done. Just think about what we have. Perine, crowder and Herdndon!!! Really need to draft skill this year. ForgetQ
In most scenarios I'm adamantly for taking the points when they're there before the fourth quarter when you need to get more aggressive. And I can usually see the rationale of both sides in nearly every scenario. This one absolutely perplexes me. Along with his horrible the playcalling and Rodgers decision making was inside the red zone. He had Lazard open for a walk in touchdown in the first half when he force fed Adams the ball on three straight damn plays. Adams is a killer. But the Buccaneers knew that too. After he was wide open on the first drop in single coverage, the Buccaneers bracketed him on every play inside the red zone and Rodgers looked nowhere else on the play. Boneheaded decision on LaFleur's part. But it's hard to leave Rodgers without blame. As @Brook! said he had a possibility of running the ball in twice. And even without that he had FOUR opportunities to take the lead or tie when they were down 28-23 and Brady kept firing picks away. That'll be forgotten when this game is remembered by most of the media brass but Rodgers choked big time after getting his dream of a home NFC Championship game.
