Ya I hear your point, but that would literally be a best case scenario outside of a turnover. I'm sure if the bills got the ball back at their own 40 after he punted there, he would have signed up for that. Which would again, meaning a longer field for his awful offence

Here's the problem with that argument though. You're saying he didn't trust his offence which is probably true. If you don't trust your offence, why wouldn't you try to convert that 4th and 1 and then get 15 to 20 yards for most likely the game winning field goal? Opposed to stopping the Colts and then having to go a much LONGER field with the offence he doesn't trust? That right there makes no sense to me assuming he didn't trust his offence

He said the tie wasn't a bad thing. By punting, he was not going purely for the win. Which is ridiculous on so many levels

lmao alright buddy. You'll see in two weeks when they get pasted against the Pats. There is difference between having a loser mentality and having a realistic mentality. Brady is 27-3 in his career against the Bills and I believe has never lost to the bills in Foxboro. But sure, tying the colts makes a lot more sense to set up a must win game against those odds against the patriots. How much you want to bet the Bills lose that game? I'll give you great odds even

That mindset was very close from pretty much eliminating them from the playoffs today. They are not beating New England in Foxboro

Well ya based on Brady being 27 and 3 or something against the Bills in his career and pretty much kicks the piss out of them every game for the past 17 years, it's pretty safe to say that game will be a loss.

If they tie the Colts at home, what makes you think the bills would have any chance in Foxboro? I mean unless Brady and Belichick have explosive diahhrea that day... They absolutely had to win that game yesterday

Ok lol. Odds are the Bills are going to lose by two touchdowns or More, and if not by that much, then they will still lose the game. If you think otherwise then place your bet on the bills that game. But I won't be, that's for sure

I don't think so though. They would be 1 game up over Pittsburgh with 2 games to play for both teams. If NE lost the last 2 games and Pitts won the last 2 games, NE would be 12 and 4 and Pittsburgh would be 13 and 3

Do you still think it's a great decision even though he pretty much admitted that he thought a tie was a descent thing? Translation. He didn't punt because he thought it gave them the best chance to win

The odds makers will agree with me. Spread will be over 10 points

It still has to factor in your thinking though... You got to know in the back of your mind you have to go win that game because you have to go at New england In a few weeks. If he didn't think that, that's another mistake on his part. If he actually thinks they have a better chance to get in the playoffs by going for the tie against a lousy team at home then have to go to Foxboro to win, then he is severely mistaken

I don't think it's possible though is it? Cause even if the Pats beat Pitts next week, the magic number for them would be 1 to clinch the conference

Love the optimism Buddy but they are going to get whacked by the Patriots

I read a few posts that the bills would have a 3 percent chance to get in the playoffs if they tied that game. And they were still saying a tie wouldn't be that bad!! Its mind boggling. Thank you. Can we pin this post to the front of twobillsdrive for the week... Lol No. He even admitted he thought a tie wouldn't be a bad thing. Nothing to do with saying he thought it was the best chance to win. Which makes it even more ridiculous to me

Did I ever say give up and wave the white Towel? No. I would do everything to increase my odds by going for the win against a lousy team. You are not getting into the playoffs if you tie a lousy team like Indy when your season is on the line. Tie Indy but go to Foxboro and win. Sounds very realistic... I know they'll lose. Which is why I am giving you ridiculous odds if you actually think they have a chance lol

How much you want to bet the bills lose that game? I'll even give you 10 to 1 odds

Win at New England? In December..?. Based on the past 17 years what makes you even think the bills are going to keep it within two touchdowns?

Its actually crazy that people here think a tie isn't a horrible thing. There is absolutely no chance they go to Foxboro and beat the Patriots

This^

Yes

Ya I didn't see much of him. I wasn't sure if he was injured or not but I guess lost playing time to Thompson

3 percent chance? Holy cow, that's about a 1 in 33 chance! With odds like that, how can anyone be mad at the possibility of a tie yesterday!..

Here Is the weird part. Jones sucks the first like 8 games of the year but they continue to play him over Thompson. Jones finally looks like he is coming around as a player the past few weeks, and now they demote him?... Why wouldn't they do this earlier in the year if anything?

I still don't understand some of the mindset with ties here guys. A tie does them absolutely no good! You are saying if the Bills tie that game, they are going to beat Miami, go to New England and win, and win in Miami the last game of the year?... Yes they would be mathematically alive and could finish 9-6-1 I understand that. But you have to understand the scenario, and realize it would almost be impossible to win the last 3 games, especially going AT New England and knocking off Brady and Belichick. That straight up will not happen. Especially when clinching the conference will probably be on the line for the Pats. So you NEED to go for the win right there against a lousy Colts team. Once again here guys. A tie does absolutely nothing for them
