Official Wild Card Playoff Round - Texans vs. Bills Game Thread, 1/4/2020

[HPF Bob]

The Texans had this game won in regulation. 4th and 1, no Buffalo timeouts left at the Buffalo 31. Go for the 48-yd FG that practically ices the game?

NOOOOOOO! Coach O'Shithead decides to run a sneak against the #1 run defense in the NFL when everybody knows exactly what play is coming and it gets stuffed! If the Texans lose this, that's exactly the play that did it.

Since this is the playoffs, there's technically no "time" left in OT. They keep playing until there's a winner, even if it takes until 3 a.m. They use quarters but they're meaningless.

Go Titans.

I'm perfectly fine with their going for it on 4th down. That was the right call. Not the right play call, but the right call.

I agree. Going for it was right. But I’m putting Watson on the move somehow.

I disagree, but I can see how a 4th down conversion wins the game being better than a field goal only guaranteeing you a 6-point lead.

Just given what we had seen of Josh Allen, he did not inspire much confidence to lead the Bills offense on a TD drive to win.

Plus, the Bills were psychologically crushed after they screwed the pooch the previous time down the field. Kicking a FG further dispirits them and puts the boot to their throats. Stopping Watson on 4th down re-invigorated them because now they only needed to advance the ball 50 yards for a game-tying FG.

This was a game we shouldn't have won then shouldn't have lost only to have it go to overtime where they won. Anyway, the L-W-W sequence continues and it will be severely put to the test next weekend on the road.

I was having a hard time rooting for the Titans even if it helped the Texans, but then I saw Vrabel shaved his mustache and it became 100% easier to root for him. He now looks like a human being instead of the grown up version of the bad guy in an 80s teen comedy.

He had it shaven last week. I don’t remember who they were playing. Maybe I noticed it on SportsCenter.

Yes, I know, just posting the times for reference......

Nice win, eh?
