The risk/reward here was way skewed even if they succeeded in getting the ball back. There is a difference between aggressive and stupid, and Steichen is fucking stupid.

That's exactly what I said in the "Colts' Defense" thread.

Even if the Bills had not made the 1st down, the 3rd-down play would have taken at least 5 seconds, and then they would have punted the ball ...... and after the punt and its hang-time, the Colts would have had the ball at about their own 25 or 30 yardline with about 8 or 9 seconds left to play, and no time-outs left.


That time-out was inexplicable and inexcusable, unless Steichen thought that there was a really good chance that the Colts' return-man was going to run the ball all the way back for a touchdown on the punt.
