I'm glad McDermott doesn't have your loser mentality.
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

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

This is pretty sad and the only reason this thread exists. Fans are so down trodden by the Pats that it's automatically a loss.
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.

Ok, so it was in response to a question about a tie.
A tie is better than a loss. I don't understand why people are vehemently against this concept.
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

Good for you?
The oddsmakers will also agree with me that the Bills have been a tough out for the Patriots in Foxboro.
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

If Pats win this week and next and Jax loses next week, they lock it up
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

Try doing that in the snowstorm. Most of the time you crash.
McD punting=leaving 1 hour early for work.
Great decision-making.
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

Maybe because the Bills rarely lose in blowout fashion at New England?
The odds makers will agree with me. Spread will be over 10 points

but a head coach that is coaching a professional NFL team is not afforded the luxery of thinking like a fan.
His job is to go up there and find a way to beat them....not concede the loss.
I dont understand why you have such a hard time with this.....but it is the internet
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

Only hope is Pats have 1 seed locked up and sit Brady et al.
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

^ Worst post of the thread. Even with you laughing face.
You know more about coaching football than McDermott AND you what's wrong with America. Wow!
I would not bet on winning, I know it's a longshot, but I think it can happen. I want to see how this team responds against Miami first. How will they prepare? Who plays QB ?
Maybe this team comes together and finishes 9-7 and squeaks in? Maybe they get to 10-6?
I have seen strange things happen in sports all the time. The Miami game and the play of the QB in that game will tell us a lot but realistically I know our chances are not good.
Love the optimism Buddy but they are going to get whacked by the Patriots

I really don't understand why people are having such a hard time with this... Maybe math & science.... dunno
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.
2 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said:Yes he is 100% categorically wrong.
Loss: Eliminates us almost certainly from playoffs. Helps increase our draft assets by worsening our record.
Tie: Eliminates us almost certainly from playoffs. Decreases the value of our draft assets by not worsening our record as much.
So he is categorically incorrect in this case. A tie would be substantially worse than a Win or a Loss.
Thank you. Can we pin this post to the front of twobillsdrive for the week... Lol
20 minutes ago, oldmanfan said:In his mind he did what he thought would give him the best chance and he was right. Maybe not next time. But this time yes.
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

Just out of curiosity, if you had some bad illness and the doc said they can try something with a 3% chance of success do you take it or just say you're ready to kick the bucket?
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...
1 minute ago, oldmanfan said:Oh I suspect they'll lose because the Pats are on a whole different level. But you have no idea that they will absolutely lose.
Yes. Which meant they were still in it in such a scenario. Slim chance of course but still in it.
I know they'll lose. Which is why I am giving you ridiculous odds if you actually think they have a chance lol

Great. Given your ability to see the future can you pick a stock or two for me?
How much you want to bet the bills lose that game? I'll even give you 10 to 1 odds

If we are still alive by the Pats* game in New England then YES. I think we can have a shot.
First things first, we have to beat Miami at home next week.
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?

I fixed it for you.
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

I think he's made some other "contested" catches this year. Also, he's a solid blocker.
this is hard to figure out. Are we sure Jones has been demoted? Could he be the slot guy with KB and DT on the outside. Hard to figure out the passing game WR wise after yesterday!
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

Wait. Today the Bills probability of getting into the playoffs is 16% or so. You're saying it would have been 3% if they'd tied and 0% if they'd lost?
That is EXACTLY my point. Survive and advance. The only unacceptable option was losing. I want winning, but in that situation I'll take tying, because 3% is definitely better than O%. And let's face it, 16% aint great.
Survive and advance. We survive with a tie and we don't with a loss. And then, amazingly, we got the win anyway.
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

What we know today is that a win is better than a tie, and a tie is better than a loss. A tie is undesirable but until all the games are played you cannot say that a tie in this game will hurt you. Seems like it would force you to win out the next three, which may be the case anyway.
Another thing, the two questions were asked separately (i.e later) and context is not provided. The only playoff scenario he needs to worry about is his team winning every game and they won the Colts game.
A tie would have crushed them. You honestly think the bills are going to go to New England and win? Tie that game yesterday and lose to the Pats and your season is done

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
