Have some of you lost your mind? 8-7-1 IS better then 8-8 The point is that we needed to go for the win, on our home field against a pathetic 3 win team regardless of the weather. And no matter what anybody says a tie would have been the same as a loss given the teams we are chasing right now in the wildcard picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win > Tie > Loss Better chance > Less good chance > No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 A tie would have really sucked. It worked and lucky for him it did because that would have flipped a bunch of his supporters. Hopefully behind closed doors they rethink the decision making process a bit. I have tried to remain optimistic with the new guys but I done did lost my mind for about 10 minutes until Thompson made that catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Just out of curiosity, if you had some bad illness and the doc said they can try something with a 3% chance of success do you take it or just say you're ready to kick the bucket?

26CornerBlitz Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 A tie would have (would of ) put them at 6-6-1. That would really mean they'd have to sweep the Dolphins and beat the Patriots to have any real chance of making the postseason. McDermott is either terribly uninformed or delusional.

Did I ever say give up and wave the white Towel? No. I would do everything to increase my odds by going for the win against a lousy team. You are not getting into the playoffs if you tie a lousy team like Indy when your season is on the line. Tie Indy but go to Foxboro and win. Sounds very realistic... 1 minute ago, oldmanfan said: Oh I suspect they'll lose because the Pats are on a whole different level. But you have no idea that they will absolutely lose. Yes.
