Buffalo Rumblings
Well folks, it took a lot longer than normal to crown a play that defines the previous season than usual. It’s mostly due to me being forgetful. That said, if I remember to do a Plays That Defined the 2025 Buffalo Bills’ season here in a few short months, I can’t rightly do so without crowning of this one.
Perhaps it’s a bit of a spoiler, but the timing of my forgetfulness kind of worked out. With a little further ado, here’s the play you all voted to represent the 2024 season.
We had an unusual championship round featuring four plays rather than the usual two. I don’t know if skipping a round made a difference or not, but we did have a major anomaly in our final voting. We had a play receive ZERO votes. Of the four choices we had whittled things down to, one was so clearly out of place that it was universally recognized as the proverbial sore thumb.
So thank you “Fourth Down Stop vs. Seahawks!” We’ll never forget you and your Geno Smith tripping fun time shenanigans. Since you were such a good sport about being ignored in our final round let’s take one last laugh at you for good measure.
Okay, that was fun. As Monty Python might be inclined to tell me…
GET ON WITH IT!
There was a good distribution of votes between this and the other two “not-Geno Smith” related options. Both of those featured miraculous Josh Allen touchdowns and thankfully that’s always a good illustration of the Bills’ season(s) these days.
In the end, they couldn’t take down “Controversial Fourth Down Stop.” It’s unfortunate that the season is yet again defined by heartbreak, but that’s not an indictment of how everyone voted. It’s a good pick, I just don’t like that it’s such a perfect one.
