Have to take these things on a game by game basis, and the result should be considered in that as well. Had they gone for it and missed, and then lost the game people would be killing him for that. Bottom line is just win. Finkle seems to think our team's coach and his decisions have nothing to do with the win totals this year. No, really.

ROONDOGG55 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 26 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: Taylor is the starter when healthy I actually agree with this. The Dolphins have a decent pass rush that can create havoc for young Nate and his decision making process. Additionally, Tyrod has had some of his better games against the Dolphins defense that has barely changed over the past few years. We should have the edge against them, especially since they won't have Jay busting out 200 plus yds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won 8 games last. Probably 9 wins this year at best. Woo hoo! Pop the champagne corks. The mediocrity continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, really. Just because you obtain a good result doesn't mean all the decisions involved are good decisions. I would argue that Brisett throwing behind a wide open ty Hilton played a bigger role in us winning than McDermott deciding to punt Edited December 11, 2017 by Finkle Is Einhorn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HumbleAndHungry Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I'm talking about mcdermotts in game decisions regarding time management and whether to punt or not. I like him but just think he lacks in this area. I'm not saying he makes no good decisions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blah blah blah. Same crap Ive heard for seventeen years. We burn a timeout to consult with the staff on 4th and 1? With three minutes left in a game you have to win. I hated the call but I can see and argument for it. Burning a t.o. in that situation is inexcusable. You might be able to get away with that against the crappy colts. Your not getting away with it against a quality team in the playoffs if you make it. Some of us have higher standards than a participation trophy in the thursday night bowling league.

Seriously? You do not think that on such an important play it made sense to call a timeout to review all of the variables in place? I disagreed with the decision to punt there, but the fact that a timeout was called and the coaching staff debated the prudence of the decision to punt at least verifies that the decision was not a knee-jerk one or one that was made without ample thought/discussion.

Thats what variables are. It isnt in a vacuum, sunny day, Andrew Luck as the qb. Its Brissett in a snow storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were very very fortunate to win that game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree. The Bills have subtracted talent from their roster and are getting same or better results. Team will be very different next couple years personnel-wise due to added picks and cap room.

Was that a scientific poll? Who conducted it? What was the margin of error? Was it sponsored by Koolaid?

W-L totals when taking into account the roster, plus additional off-field moves. Meaningful games in December, with a legitimate shot at the playoffs?
