Wayne Arnold Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 2 minutes ago, 26CornerBlitz said: A tie wouldn't have killed their playoff aspirations officially, but it sure as hell would have put them on life support at 6-6-1 with a game at NE looming in week 16. Bottom line is a tie was bad in any realistic scenario. The outraged people here act as if McDermott decided to kick a FG from the 1 with 2 seconds left down 3 points. When McDermott elected to punt there was still plenty of time to win the game. I wouldn't have punted. I would have preferred he not have made that decision. But considering the circumstances - and yes, the result - I'm not having a tantrum over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They absolutely had to win that game yesterday This is pretty sad and the only reason this thread exists. Fans are so down trodden by the Pats that it's automatically a loss.

Yeah, because the ownership has proven to be championship quality... I guess, maybe the Bills & Sabres fans got the ownership they deserve.

Well ya based on Brady being 27 and 3 or something against the Bills in his career and pretty much kicks the piss out of them every game for the past 17 years, it's pretty safe to say that game will be a loss.

With the conditions being the way they were both defenses were having trouble stopping the run. If Brissett didn't throw on 1st and 2nd down right after Gore converted a 1st down there wouldn't have been enough time on the clock to score. The Colts basically gave the game away.
