It was in the game plan all along. He said it was his fault for not stopping it.

Bills fault for not stopping it too!

Damn skippy. Look, you want to stop being that hapless no name team from S. Alaska? Become hated, punish people, make people pay attention to you. Worked for Oakland. Just win, jerks. Not to say be classless, but cleanly keep your foot on their throat.

ps: Wooo beer

Said it was good football in terms of executing the play, but it's unfortunate that it will come off looking so bad. He wanted the first down. He hopes that Gailey will understand what he's trying to say.

Their job to stop it, not ours.

It's not like the Bills suddenly stopped trying to move the ball down the field.

Way to take the heat Pete, I'm sure he was still happy about the execution.

Liar.

I bet Houston had wished they'd run a fake punt against the Bills in 93

I saw Gailie whisper something into Pete's ear when they shook hands. Pete's expression didn't seem to change.

This is not a pansy azz league....

Get over it, do the Patriots give a shi* who they hang 45 on every week?

Obviously they aren't that good against the Seahawks but you get my point.

So many others have said it....how many times in the past did we play prevent defense and end up losing the game?

Not likely, but in the realm of possibility. I'd rather have them hate us for kicking everyone's butts than for being perceived as weak! Let's see if Michael Irvin can spin our recent DOMINATION wins into something that says we're "not for real."

I still think it was a head game for the 49ers. One more thing on the mind of their special teams.

He was saying, "Uh hey.... I'm gonna need a job in 3 weeks. Keep me in mind. I'll have somebody run my resume over to your locker room in a few."

Nice that you can read his mind and know that. </sarcasm >

If you come to play a game in the NFL looking like the practice squad, you get treated like the practice squad.

Yesserie, ma'am. We haven't proven anything yet. We are a team coming into our identity that strives to win first.

PC is deaf to what any outsiders may choose to believe. You know that, sis.

Could you clarify for me?

Does he mean that it was scripted and that it was always going to happen, or does he mean that he called it, but didn't want Robinson to run as long as he did?

It was a scripted play in the game plan based on what they saw on film. The situation matched so they went with it. Pete didn't think about how it would come across, he was just trying to get the first down. After they ran it he realized how it looked and therefore he's taking the heat for not calling the play off.

Pretty damned classy of Pete taking the bullit for the team on this instance, that way, the players can feel good about executing the play to perfection.
Pete knows all about how the fake punts / fieldgoals can work, for or against you.
Some will probably be pissed because the Bills didn't think of doing it first.
Screw the laying down on games, it sucks when you don't win, the Seahawks know all too well about letting your opponent back in the game.

Is this gleened from the post game presser? I won't catch that till later tonight.

Yes. Mike Rob also just told Jen Mueller it was planned for and they (the Bills) finally showed the look, so off the Hawks went. He also mentioned he liked that it's out there and now teams have to plan for it.

This right here. Punt coverage will be much better because the 49ers will be thinking about thast fake punt.

Plays in the current game effect play in subsequent games. Good call by the punt team.

Is it a hard question to answer straight up?

I thought I read somewhere that Jeff Fisher said he was sorry & begged forgiveness
for running that fake FG in St Louis in week 4.......damn nice of him.



....payback comes in week 17 ~ I'm sorry to say !!

I'm pleased as punch, myself. Now let's turn the 'no mercy' on SF!
