But it still doesn't make sense to me.
Up 4 with a chance to win in regulation
Or..
BEST case scenario overtime...
There shouldn't even be a debate to what the better option is.
You would rather be tied with 30 seconds left (when Mahomes has shown he only needs 13 seconds for a Fg) opposed to be winning by 4 with 1:50 left?
Respectfully, I do not understand that logic at all.
So best case scenario is OT and worst case is you lose on a game winning kick in regulation?..
Why do you/people assume the bills would automatically get a TD if they just played for the first down there?
And if they didn't get a TD, clearly we can't trust our kicker to tie it
Always take the touchdown
Just get the TD though.
thats the most important thing and the TD was there
clock is 2nd.
If someone told me bills are up 31-27 with a 1:53 left, I would take that over been down 27-24 having a first down at the 15 yard line with 1:53 left.
The problem is he isn't getting paid like one. Hes one of the top paid kickers in the league.
What would you have done there though, go for it on 4th and 9?
You have to take the points and bass has to make the kick to give your team a chance
Make the kick and do your one job
Hes what a 5.5 million dollar kicker?
Would the bills have stopped Mahomes? Probably not but that's besides the point.
Your 5.5 million dollar kicker HAS to make that kick
So a few injuries at linebacker and we are going to excuse this horrible defensive performance?
0 sacks today.. Full D line was healthy
He got his ass handed to him again by Andy Reid, just call a spade a spade
Diggs straight up screwed this team tonight, and even down the stretch
8 targets, 3 catches for 23 yards with one being a dropped 90 yard TD?
What a joke
That part isn't on McD.
But what about the defence?
Only reason there wasn't 40 plus points against his defence was because the bills offence controlled the clock.
I'll watch every single bills game till I die.
But this was definitely a tough one to swallow and it's a dejecting feeling
With McDermott, it's proven now that he can't beat Andy Reid/Mahomes in the playoffs
Philips, Chubb, Van Ginkel, Deshaun Phillips, Jerome Baker, Howard. and Holland was playing with 2 bum knees
Plus rotational guys who were out
Way more than the bills
Miami had way more guys hurt last week and held them to 26. In KC as well.
Chiefs score here, it's 27 with basically a full quarter to go.
Unacceptable performance
