good luck with that

I like it, but what do you do if Donte Jackson is still on the board when we pick at 21/22? Hard not to go with him.

They just decided not to franchise him and pay him $20M a year. Doesn't mean they still don't want him.

This not irony.

Unless the Bills can move up and get THEIR GUY (I assume that's Rosen), there is no need to move up. Just today, we saw Trapasso posting his mock that has the Bills moving up for Mason Freakin' Rudolph. I mean, what the hell? Even Mayock doesn't see Rudolph as a first round talent. If the Bills move up just to get whatever QB is left, that will be a huge, huge mistake. You move up ONLY to get THE GUY. Because that guy is going to cost you 2 or 3 first round picks, plus some. You don't waste all of that on "whoever is left over." If the Bills can't get their guy, they should sit tight, and then draft for position...or even trade back with one pick.

If the Bills can get all of that at #22, I'll be impressed!

Exactly this. Might as well wish for Bryce Petty.

I don’t get this. If you want a Tyrod Taylor-like Qb, no reason to draft one - you already got him!

THAT'S IT, I'M DONE WITH THIS FRICKEN TEAM!!! NO COMPENSATORY PICKS?l?? THAT'S THE ONLY REASON I EVEN WATCH THIS STUPID GAME, SO THAT I CAN SEE MY TEAM GARNER VALUABLE COMPENSATORY PICKS!!!! (Thought I'd save the rest of you the trouble)

yay!

and we're back to results-oriented thinking. Just because it worked doesn't mean it was the +EV play. That's the point. I want a coach who knows when to go for it. He obviously didn't know, and it worked out. Hooray. So instead of relying on one of the best backs in the league to gain one yard, we had to rely on: The Colts dropping passes to not extend their possession The Colts punting when they had no reason to do so - what was the point in their punting, from their POV? Bad coaching on both sides! Joe Freakin' Webb throwing a bomb in a snowstorm to Deonte Thompson Shady breaking free on a 3rd and long, when you just knew they were going to go for a long FG - in a snowstorm - if he didn't make the first down Yeah. Let's rely on all this to get back to the playoffs again. Oh, and Andy Dalton, too. Don't forget him.

Only one thing needs to be taken into consideration: There is FOUR FREAKING MINUTES LEFT IN YOUR SEASON AND YOU HAVE TO SCORE NOW! That's all that mattered in that situation.

a gambler knows that banking on a TO instead of trying to gain one yard is a losing proposition.

LOL ok

Why do you assume 1) we fail, and 2) that we don't get the ball back? By punting, aren't you assuming you can get the ball back? Why is punting and trying to stop them better than going for it and trying to stop them (if we fail on the attempt)? do you guys even know what you're typing?

So you'd rather not go for it with one of the best RBs in the league, but you DO want to punt, get the ball back - further from the endzone - and let our 3rd string QB lead the winning drive - the same guy you just lambasted. Gotcha. Makes a lot of sense.

If that's the case, what's wrong with giving yourself TWO shots at the ball? By going for it on 4th and 1, and then, if they don't make it, by stopping them. As you said, the Colts hadn't moved the ball all day, "so getting the ball back was a given," ...Right? *** Guys, I get that it worked, and I really do understand what McD was thinking there. And under normal circumstances, I don't mind the call. But having a head coach be that conservative with the season on the line does not bode well for the future. Do you think McD would have gone for it on 4th down in the Super Bowl like the Eagles did at the end of the first half? Hell no. You need to be aggressive to win.

Look at the clock, Man. Jesus.

But you're missing the very real possibility of going for it on 4th and 1 AND MAKING IT. You're only assuming they don't make it.Then they have the ball in better field position, with more time on the clock, and are not in desperation mode - thean if they had punted.

Because you put 4 question marks at the end of your statement (it wasn't really a question), I think it's not really that simple any more. You've overly complicated the issue by using so many question marks.

Punting and needing to stop Indy, then getting the ball back - further away from the goaline than if they had just gone for it - with only 2 minutes and change on the clock - was a retarded move. Why? BECAUSE THE SEASON WAS ON THE LINE! You can't settle for a tie there. You HAVE to win the game, or the Bills are out. Why can't people understand this? I get the move if it was just another game...punt, pin the Colts back, wrap up at least a tie. I get that. But not in this instance. 4th and 1. And they have to win the game to stay alive. It's a no-brainer. But we have people here who are results oriented thinkers "Hey it worked out, so it was the right decision." And others who miss-apply basic gambling rules. It's just maddening.

lol you're saying a football play is a non-predictive gamble like a roulette wheel spin? Holy crap, it's even worse than I thought. First off all, if a wheel has 38 numbers, there is a 1/38 chance of your number being hit, correct? But if the pay-out of hitting that number is only 36-1, you are losing long-term, DUCY? While a football play can certainly have many outcomes, we know enough not to go for it on 4th and 21 from your own 15 in the first quarter. Why? Because the odds of that turning out well are not great. But, according to you, we can't predict the outcome of that play, so we should go for it all of the time, right? Hey! You're actually arguing FOR MacD to go for it in the snow game! Guess I was wrong about you.

This. Getting rid of a middling QB with a middling contract without signing a replacement always seemed stupid to me.

Im not sure why I’m always shocked at how absolutely clueless some supposed football fans are. But hey, you be you.

lol classic results-oriented thinking.
