Helped us
we are up by 3. If we hit the extra point, it’s a 4 point lead
the way the d was playing, does anyone doubt Goff would have converted on fourth down, or at least changed the playcall on third and they would have scored the touchdown.
then it would have taken longer and the clock would be burned with no chance for a comeback
Just a thought
glad it worked the way it did obviously
Why don't we go right ahead and not miss any more extra points.
I’m not saying that should be our strategy. (Missing extra points)Quote:

It hurt us. You want to force them to score a TD. I cringed. Always cringe when PAT is missed. It's kind of like you get a free throw but you can take a layup for your point. That is a PAT.
Appreciate your positive perspective just can't see it that way. It's revisionist. At least I posted so you didn't feel like you were being ignored...sorry I didn't agree with you!
Sal Cappaccio agrees with you..."I know it’s not something you want to happen, but I think Tyler Bass’ missed XP actually helped the Bills. Lions played much more conservatively down 3 instead of 4, had no interest in risking/trying to score TD, despite moving ball well, and left :23 after kicking field goal."
Worked out this time.
Sounds like baloney to me. This is the situation where teams turn the ball over all the time -- game over. The "it helped us" mentality about this one is totally revisionist and assumes what would happen if we make the PAT is the Lions score a TD and win the game. Can't buy into that. Tame your thinking...

Let me ask you this: how many times do you see a penalty during a field goal attempt and the penalty gives them a first down and they keep the 3 points?
I'm going with never unless it's the game winning kick and the clock just ran out.Quote:
