And the fact that it did indeed work out just the way they had hoped was not part of their decision?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warren Zevon Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I haven't heard anyone mention this, however this is the only reason I could think of that would (maybe) make the punt a good idea... It's 4th and 1 at the 40. A punt will push the ball 30 yards down the field to the 10. There is not much time left and the Colts sucks, so was McD thinking that the Colts were in 4 down territory? The hope may have been that the Bills gain 30 yards in field position and 4 plays later have the ball deep in Colts territory when the Colts fail to get the 1st on 4th and whatever.

The hope may have been that the Bills gain 30 yards in field position and 4 plays later have the ball deep in Colts territory when the Colts fail to get the 1st on 4th and whatever. As McD said there were multiple variables to consider: -- The severe weather conditions -- The impact of going for it on 4th down and NOT making it -- Having an emergency QB behind center -- The fact that the Colts were (I believe) 3 of 16 on 3rd down for the game -- The opposing QB was J. Brissett (and not Andrew Luck, for example) -- The fact that other than the game tying, 10-minute drive, the Colts offense had been unable to move the ball all game long -- Tendencies that Chuck P. and the rest of the opposing staff presented -- Chances of the Colts driving the distance of the field to win (or even converting multiple first downs to secure a tie) versus chances of the defense to stop them and get the ball back And more...

I would argue that Brisett throwing behind a wide open ty Hilton played a bigger role in us winning than McDermott deciding to punt This is what's head-bangingly frustrating about some of these conversations regarding McDermott's in-game decision making. It's like: "We won, so he obviously made the right decision." Yeah, and I was gonna be late for work the other day so I decided to drive 20 MPH over the speed limit to make it to work on time. I got to work on time and didn't get pulled over. That doesn't mean I won't get pulled over and pay a massive price next time. Overall, McDermott is a really good coach. I like him a lot. He's brought in a clear culture change that's affected this team. That doesn't mean he's untouchable with his in-game overly conservative decision making even in wins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree....McD is bordering on "sucks" when it comes to in game decision making. For a guy who constantly totes the line "look to get better at everything every week", he sure has not learned to be better with his decision making the challenge last week was the worst challenge I have ever seen in my life...what was he trying to challenge? did he honestly think a flag could be thrown after review??? constant waste of timeouts all year the punt Edited December 11, 2017 by PaattMaann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too questioned his decision to punt but then after it was all said and done it looked more like to me that he had confidence in his defense to make the stop and get the ball back which is what happened. 2 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: Tasker is on WGR and said he was next to Peterman when he was coming off of the field and said he was unstable walking off the field.

You try walking in a foot of snow while seeing stars Bills coach Sean McDermott said Monday that Tyrod Taylor (knee) remains day-to-day approaching next Sunday's game against the Dolphins. McDermott also said Nathan Peterman remains in the concussion protocol. If both are healthy, McDermott said Taylor will be the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
