I gave my take on this in the WGR thread. but for this specific game McD made the correct call. No way was Indy driving 70 yards or whatever for a legit FG attempt. I liked the D's chances of getting a turnover. If the weather was 50 degrees and sunny it's very possible McD would've gone for it. You just can't kill him for making the call to punt in this game with those weather conditions. It worked out. He was smarter than the talking heads (who are all pissed off that they are wrong

Sometimes you have to make a tough call in a game. For this specific situation, punting the Colts back probably meant a 3 and out or a possible turnover. The Colts had not turned it over all day, they were due. I think the chances of a fumble/Int or 3 & out...probably outweighed the chances of getting stopped on 4th down, then having the Colts possibly drive to a FG with the wind. The fact that Jeremy and Howard are furious is kind of silly. It's like they'd rather prove their point than see a Bills W. McD played the odds that he felt were correct for this SPECIFIC GAME.. If the weather was 50 degrees and sunny, light winds...he might've gone for it. But the weather dictated that it was very unlikely Indy would drive 60-70 yards for a FG attempt...and/or a turnover in the Bills favor was a real definite possibility.

I loved seeing that term “McGutless” and I love that it blew up in the original posters face. McD made the right call there

Ha. Reading this thread I thought we were losing 27-0.

It's absurd to suggest one man would've flipped a 30 point loss into a win. Unless the QB for the Bills had the last name of Brady it would not have mattered. They could not stop the Chargers that day. LA had one penalty. No turnovers. They played a near perfect game.

I'd be surprised if Tyrod starts. He was favoring that knee in practice. I'm sure that joint will feel even worse in breezy 25 degree weather. McD would've been more positive about him playing by now, not just a "game-time" decision. I think we're looking at Peterman, chapter 2 this Sunday in the cold/snow. Maybe that suits Peterman better than warm sunny LA.

I’m not a violent person but I hope someone, anyone, takes Gronk out. It can be a clean hit, no problem. Just make him feel pain. What he did to White was as egregious as anything I’ve ever seen on a football field.

It was vs. the Jets at the Rockpile. My grandfather took me, he had season tix. I remember seeing Namath, he was a big deal and the Jets were wearing all white.

I also have season tix for another popular team in the East and I'm having problems the past couple years. It's not just the Bills, the ability to resell has gone from great to below face value in about 4 years. It's crazy. I'm about to get out of owning season tickets. They are not reselling at face anymore even for a decent team.

Brady could be here in his prime and the Bills still would not make the playoffs. The drought is too powerful. I agree that Shady McCoy and Lee Evans have been the most talented players.

People still like to attend games (especially when winning) but I feel like it's not as important with the younger generation....soon to be the ticket buyers. My son enjoys fantasy football but he never sits and watches a whole game...he just checks out his FF scores and maybe some redzone. I think I'm dumping my season tix after this year. I live too far and can't sell the late season games. I'd rather cherry pick whatever game(s) I want to attend and buy 50 yard line seats probably for face value.

I have two lower bowl tickets for Sunday that I cannot give away. So yeah I expect low attendance.

If TT is too banged up then I hope they give Peterman a shot at redemption. It's the Colts at home so they can be reasonably conservative and still probably win this.

One game is just ridiculous. Basically the NFL has told everyone that the price for going after an unsuspecting player, with a vicious blindside hit, after the play is over, out of bounds...is one game. I don't care if the offender has no history. How do we even know if Tre White plays again this year? His brain is bruised. He could have symptoms for months after getting pile driven and smashed on the back of the head by a 270 lb guy with a club. I'm pissed.

I’d be happy to split with Miami, no way they sweep the fins. Colts should be a W but it will be way more competitive than we would like

Dang, that hit was so dirty and so hard to the back of White’s head. He couldn’t even prepare for it. I just hope the guy is OK. He could be really messed up and miss the rest of the season. Wouldn’t surprise me. That was a club on Gronks arm.

It’s better he was not ejected w 4 minutes to go in a meaningless ending. Makes it more likely he will be suspended for a meaningful game. It was after the whistle foul that probably resulted in White being concussed.

Nice capper, 3 games and Bills/Sabres combined for 3 points and 1 goal. And as I predicted UB left out of the Bowl games as the final slap in the face.

The Sabres are a failure and bordering on disaster. The Murray/Bylsma regime the past two seasons produced 81 and 78 points. Lousy but not embarrassing (even with an injured Eichel). This current team is on pace for like 54 points?!?..and they were expected to compete for the playoffs. Housley managed to turn the #1 power play in the NHL last season...to dead last #30. Kind of like what Rick Dennison has done to the #1 Bills rushing attack! Anyway, I think Housley is doing a terrible job so far and Botterill had better find an answer.

And then on Sunday eve the UB Football team who are Bowl eligible will be one of 2 or 3 teams left out of the mix. That will be the final kick in the nuts for the weekend. enjoy!

Hate Hate Hate the all-blue uniforms. They should always wear Blue over white at home or white over the blue pants on the road. I'm OK, however, with the color rush Red over Red once a year as an exception as it satisfies my desire for something "different". But that's it.

Doesn't matter who gets the ball first, I think the Bills go three and out on their first drive...and NE scores a TD on their first drive. The rest is just chasing the game and the Bills lose by 17-20.

Tom is our daddy (Bills fan base included).

KC fans are dying for Mahomes to get a start. I'd like to see that too. Andy Reid doesn't seem like the kind of coach to take that risk.
