Then why couldn’t they hold them in check from the 41?!? if you trust your defense to get the ball back, you go for it! There’s no reason not to.

Quick, what’s the probability of Shady running for a TD on 3rd and 4 with 10 guys in the box? What’s the probability of Joe Webb completing a 50 yard pass? You think the probability of them coverting a 4th and 1 is low because they might be in goaline formation? And how is that any different from any other 4th and short?

What are you talking about? He said he trusted his defense to get the ball back, that’s why he punted. Why didn’t he trust them and go for it on 4th knowing they could get the ball back? Let me ask you this, what do you think Chuck Pagano wanted McDermott to do?

As has been already said, punting is doing exactly what the Colts want the Bills to do. They want the ball back. They certainly don’t want the Bills to go for it and keep moving the ball. Why play into what the Colts want you to do? If you trust your defense to make a stop and get the ball back, then go for it.

What compounds it is the timeout beforehand as well. He left himself with 1 timeout. He’s lucky the Colts didn’t just run the ball. Or the Brissett missed a wide open receiver. They would have had no time left. And there’s no way he knew that was going to be the outcome. He got lucky, doesn’t make the decision the correct one.

And there’s the punt on the playoffs...

It’s like when people say we can’t evaluate the passing offense because of TT. You certainly can. Look at the route combinations/options Rico draws up, they are horrible. Very easy to defend. Its tough to know now what we have in some of these WRs because of a couple of reasons. The offense is one and TT is another. Personally, I think Matthew will want too much money for his production. Look at what Woods got. So he’s gone either way. I’m ok with resigning Thompson, looking for another WR in FA and then drafting one into the 2nd/3rd round, preferably someone with speed, which is lacking now.

Who’s saying he is going to be the long term answer? Is there some other thread I missed? I think just about every fan knows he will not be the long term starter. This was known and obvious when they didn’t elect to pick up his option and only brought him back because of a pay cut.

Wow the fight in Oakland!!

Play calling was still bad. That “creative” toss sweep had been tried many times this year, it’s literally worked once. His in game play calling and having a feel for the flow of the game is bad. He has some ok calls, but he can’t seem to string them together

Toss sweep, try it again Dennison!!!

That toss sweep has been called mutiple times this year, it’s worked once. I hate that play call.

Need a TD drive here.

It’ll be interesting to see if he plays one of the safety position or if they try him at CB. He is long last the player he was at CB, so an odd signing if they plan on putting him there. Does he play this week?

No argument from me. I’ve questioned everyone of their moves.

He also doesn't throw to the left well, so defend more against the right side of the field. This stuff was talked about in preseason... on here!

Yea he looked good in his couple carries and that reception where he trucked a defender. I'd much rather see him than Tolbert. Although with the way things are working on Offense maybe Dennison says to McD he prefers Tolbert.

I know we talked all preseason about this. There were signs, like he doesn't throw well to his left. That'll have shown on film and they'll have known a lot of his throws were going to the right. Hell, there were rumblings that he looked bad in practice. I heard them back in September.

Where's the "it can't get worse" crowd. That was repeated all week. Quoting TT stats. It just got worse haha.

It's still a seriously tough sell. I don't beleive they can make the playoffs now. He's lost the locker room with his decsion. But... the Bills are "still in the hunt". The AFC is baaaaaaddd. An 8-8 team might make that final spot. Either way, they look stupid. Stupid because they should have made the commit to be bad at the beginning of the year and stupid that they've decided to do it after going 5-2

uh what? Maybe TT doesn't beat NE, but he certainly gives you a shot against KC, Indy, Miami(x2). With what Peterman showed today I'm not sure he gives you a shot in any of the remaining games.

It was bad. 5 ints, which should have been 6.

Probably correct on that front.
