Made a small play on the Lions (and lost). As an aside, I was in Rich stadium once. In 1978 I was about the biggest Rolling Stones fan you could find. So in July drove to the Buffalo region (from Boston) to attend their gig promoting the Some Girls album. There were many french canadians in attendance. yada, yada, yada.... on that day that I learned the true meaning of arrogance.
Wow, Same old Lions, same old Caldwell. I swear, how can NFL coaches get paid millions when they cannot manage a simple game?
Lions had it 1st and 10 at the Bills 33 yard line with 38 seconds left and tied 14-14, unless you have a turnover you either play to win or at worse OT. How an NFL coach allows another team that chance is beyond me. The Bills had only 2 TOs left and the Lions 1. You have a bad kicker who may miss a long FG so why give the Bills a shot?
Lions should have ran on the first 2 downs to force the Bills to call their last 2 TOs and depending on the situation ran the ball on 3rd down and stopped it with 2 seconds to play. Henry makes the kick, lions win, Henry misses the kick, you go to OT. Now, that idiot Caldwell decides to pass 3 straight times and stops the clock with 26 seconds left. Henry misses the FG and the Bills get the ball at the 40 yard line. One 20 yard pass to Watkins and a TO and now the Bills win the game on a 58 yard FG.
Again, I ask, how can a NFL coach get millions if he cannot figure out to manage a game? It boggles my mind that a NFL coach cannot grasp this simple concept. If you follow the script above you have two outcomes, a win or OT.
