Wayne Cubed Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just now, KD in CA said: Obviously they were planning for where they would get the ball back for the next possession, which is quite a bit different if the Colts are punting from the 10 or the 41. He thought there was enough time left to play for field position for a final drive and he was right. Any chance to win ends if they don't convert the 4th and 1, which was a dicey proposition in the snow. Tell me why that ends the game? 1 minute ago, BillsfanAZ said: Why cant you understand that the Colts plays on their own 10 play more conservative than playing at their own 40? Gore had almost as many yards as Shady. Uh what? You just said a couple runs and they’d be in field goal range, now you are saying they wouldn’t have done that from the 41?

The decision to let Webb throw the ball with only a minute left was far worse. Agreed, but that doesn't excuse that call. It's still baffling to me what McDermott was thinking there.

Again, no one in this thread is upset that the Bills won. And when the Bills win that doesn’t mean you can’t be critical of a decision. Does that mean McDermott was correct in letting Webb throw at their own 25? I mean they did win in the end, so it must be. This is such a Promo response.

No, that's not it. We want a coach who gives the team the best chance to win. We want a coach here for ten+ years, playoff runs, etc. A coach who gets it. So far, McD does not get it. I love that the Bills won. I really do. But I hate that we won only in spite of our coach's horrible decision making. We got lucky. Woo hoo!

Kelly the Dog Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Just now, MAJBobby said: Whats the difference between McD choice to punt today and Rex choice to Punt against Mia? It was a terrible call. But I don't think you can compare it to any other game because of several factors. Obviously the extreme conditions. But on your third QB who is not even a QB. The fact it is in OT and this late in season when a tie equals a loss, etc. All those additional factors made it a worse call than it would have been in normal conditions.

Wayne Cubed Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Having Joe Webb, the 3rd string QB, throw from their own 25, tied 7-7 was the right call. Cause hey, McDermott knew he’d throw and interception and they’d miss the FG and they won so it was the right call. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 A controversial decision that ultimately worked out has the indignant masses in a state of frenzy. He made a decision to punt that I disagreed with. It was a very conservative decision but in the end it proved to be the right call, or at least it didn't hurt us. What's there to complain about? As far as strategy or time management this is a game in which the conditions were so severe that being inclined to take a conservative approach was very understandable. Even if you disagreed with the wrestling coach's conservativeness in this particular game it made sense because the field was so treacherous. A win is a win. I'll take it and not complain about it.

But you have a better EV when you do go for it there. A better chance to win the game. The vast majority of the time, what do you think happens there when we punt? The Colts run out the clock. And we tie. McD played not to lose, and because of the horrible decision to punt and call a TO there, he almost cost the team any chance of the playoffs this year. That's what we're angry about. That we have a stupid coach. We're not angry that we won. Or that we lucked out even though he made a bad decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1billsfan Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Punting was the right decision because the snow was giving the punters an advantage. They knew if their punt didn't go out of bounds it would probably stop dead in the snow in the field of play and not go into the end zone. So extending the game time and betting on either...1) the defense to get you the ball back close to the same spot with enough time to do something...or 2) a desperate Colts team turning it over close in their territory...were just simply better odds than going for it on that 50-50 chance 4th and 1 play. The weather had a big impact on that decision and McDermott clearly made the right call. See scoreboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
