Fish show up flat next week.
Yep. Teams that win big on MNF, tend to lose the next week. No way do the Phins play this well in Orchard Park.

I think I understand the Ajayi trade now. Drake concerns me,

Washington will Transition Tag Cousins at the least. There will be draft pick compensation involved in addition to a hefty price tag associated with acquiring him.
You sure they can do that? I understood that it’s not an option.

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?
It's possible. We have actually tended to play the Pats tougher in NE than in Buffalo over the past 10 years or so. Maybe Foxboro will be hit with a freak snowstorm that will equalize things like it did yesterday for the Colts, maybe Belichick will rest some key guys, having already wrapped up a first round bye...

Going for it is high risk, high reward. Plain and simple. That's playing to lose more times than often.
No, going for it there is low risk, high reward.

The outcome of the game has nothing to do with whether the call to punt was correct or not. Forget the outcome for a minute and let's just break the call down at the time it was made. Put yourself in that situation, not knowing what the outcome of the game will be.
People supporting the punt are basically saying this: You were more confident in the defense forcing a punt, a WR playing QB leading us 60-70 yards down the field in a blizzard, & scoring (all in under 4 minutes) than you were in making 3 feet in 1 play.
People supporting the decision to go for it a saying this: I like my chances of getting 3 feet in 1 play more than the odds of the defense forcing a punt, a WR playing QB leading us 60-70 yards down the field in a blizzard, & scoring (all in under 4 minutes)
That's basically it. If you are more confident in all of those things happening than making 3 feet in 1 play, then that's fine.
Me, I like my odds of getting 3 feet better.
PS. Not only do you have to weigh these factors in this decision, but you also have to take into an account that a tie basically ends your season. So, if all of these things don't happen in those 4 minutes, and you tie.....your season is over.
You also have to consider that going for it and not making it does not end the game; it just gives the Colts better field position. So the downside is relatively small.

I'm not sure what people are talking about on the 2-point conversion play. He was clearly 2 yards from the line of scrimmage and picked off our guy. It's an obvious call.
And the Colts would not have scored but for the interference. Easy call.

Looking at the forecast for OP this week,, any chance this game gets moved, like the one vs the Jets a few years ago?

It was not luck. It was the right call. It's just too bad the Bills get them so rarely.
Not only the right call: the Colts don’t score on that play without the illegal block. So spare me the “we were lucky” nonsense. (I don’t mean you.)

What yard line?

You guys remember how Rex punted in OT agiant the Dolphins last year with our season on the line? This might be worse.
It is worse

I ended my hope in this regime today.
He should be fired in the locker room.

Possibly the worst punt call in the last 17 years.

That call doesnt get made 9 time out of 10
So you now acknowledge that it was the correct call??

4th and 6...we were going for it before.
I very much doubt that.

It was a BS call.
Wow, you’re the smartest guy in the chatroom, as usual.

Well, playing not to lose finally bit us in the ass.

Nice timeout, McDermott.

I think we just saw how important Gronk is to NE—just not the same team without him.
