A) Your alluding to what happened in the Dolphins game is similar to saying Hail-Mary worked once, that there is a good chance that it would work again.
B) More significantly, the timeout that we called today was nowhere near similar to the timeout that we called against Miami, and I explained why above.
C) It's extremely unlikely that the Bills would not have played the final seconds of the second half stupidly as the Dolphins did, especially since there there would have been even less time (15 seconds, at most) left to play when the Colts got the ball back.
Not only are you probably the only Colts fan who think that there was a realistic chance that we could have gotten the ball back and put points on the board before the clock ran out by calling that timeout with 33 seconds left on 3rd down and 2, I suspect that you are the only football fan period who actually believes that (Colts fans and otherwise.)

Dolphins is just an example that's easy to reference. The situation was similar in that they scored from the 30 with 0:22 seconds left. They were stagnant and it was a significant field goal that came from aggression.
Steichen, Reich, that whole tree is very aggressive.
The other part we're glossing over is the fact that BUF was 3rd & 10 at their own 27 with 0:18 seconds left. If you guys were Bills fans, you'd be telling them to kneel it and go to the locker room. Allen almost got sacked by Dayo and Latu... what if something bad happened?
Instead, they make a big play, get some points... cherry on top was they didn't even need the TO.
By the way, about me being the only one... most fans of every team think that the league/refs fuck their team on purpose because they don't like them. Not going to keep me up at night if we disagree.
