ExiledInIllinois Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Simple, they go for it. Odds are bad they ppound it through. Better odds punting deep. Worrying about tie, not an issue. You worry about game being played first. 1 minute ago, PolishDave said: How do you know they wouldn't have won if they went for it?

BBills88 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Maybe that's why we got that 2 pt conversion call. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No they would have most likely only needed another 20 yards and a field goal pretty much would have won the game. That to me has a 10 times better chance to Win opposing to stopping the Colts and going roughly 50 yards with a 3rd string QB... I really don't get how people disagree with that.

I think you are dead wrong on your odds assessment. And it's not even close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know - I was watching with non-Bills fans and they about spit out their beer when the broadcast said he plays ST. They were like - what Qb plays ST?

Gutless and knuckleheaded Dick Jauronism. At the time I thought they should have went for it as well. But then the Bills won the game and McDermott ended up being right. So, I had to say, “I was wrong”. Try it, it’s easy to say and makes you look humble and reasonable, “I was wrong, McDermott was correct”. Ahhhhh....feels good.

It was never the right call. It’s not debatable. Rex had a call like this last year in OT using the same field position logic. We never got the ball back, lost that game and he was rightfully criticized for it. Go to a busy intersection and cross the street without looking. If you don’t get hit by a car does that make your decision right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be it was the right call to win the game. Could be it didn't matter no matter which way he called it. Still doesn't change the fact that it was the lower odds much higher risk decision. If people think that is the smart decision there, so be it. Logic says it isn't. But I get it, some people are more emotional than logical.

Figster Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Didn't like the call, but for anyone who thinks it was gutless I disagree. Going for it on 4th would have been the easiest thing to do in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lfod Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I think this thread is effective if they lost the game. You can say it was a bad call. I didn't agree with the punt. This is a thread you make if the Bills lose. I see people always say that it's always about the W. I honestly don't care what call the coaches make if it ends up in a W. Go for it or punt in it I don't care just make the calls to win. I would agree that I would of liked to see them go for it. The game ended with a W.
