Cause even if the Pats beat Pitts next week, the magic number for them would be 1 to clinch the conference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am one of them. I hate his clock management overall this year and I also hated the decision to punt there and I said at the time he did it that Win or Lose I hate the decision. Im glad it worked out, but it was a very low percentage play to work out under those conditions. In a normal game, sure, punt. But in that game where Indy mostly ran the ball, that meant a lot of time was likely coming off the clock. And getting the ball back with very little time in those conditions would be a very difficult thing to overcome given the difficulty in passing and also kicking. Not to mention our top 2 QB's were out of the game and our Top WR was hurt. Terrible call...nothing can really be said to defend it IMO. We got lucky and it worked out, but it was still a call I think he made mistake on. And his "tie" comments only further that mistake as he clearly was playing to protect from a loss and take a tie. Don't forget about the timeout he burned to think it over and he still punted. That only exacerbates an already bad decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may think Schopp is a prick (most around here do) but he is on the correct side of the punting in OT issue, and the coach is on the wrong side. The fact that Schopp is a marginal radio broadcaster and McD is actually a HC in the NFL makes the whole thing either hilarious or really sad, depending on your perspective. Also, any suggestion that McD is bright enough to "troll" S&B is a joke. The dude is an idiot jock who loves him some Jesus, his military, and his pickup truck and who has been elevated way out of his IQ zone. I'm convinced of that now.

You got to know in the back of your mind you have to go win that game because you have to go at New england In a few weeks. If he didn't think that, that's another mistake on his part. If he actually thinks they have a better chance to get in the playoffs by going for the tie against a lousy team at home then have to go to Foxboro to win, then he is severely mistaken Edited December 11, 2017 by billsfan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dablitzkrieg Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 The context is what is important in the interview. While I disagree with punting on 4th and 1, continuously ragging on it will do nothing productive. They won, yes I hated the call, but he is not wrong. He simply stated that he wanted a win, but would have rather tied than lost. Wouldn't you? 1 hour ago, DriveFor1Outta5 said: I’m convinced that many NFL coaches are simply unintelligent. This is quite the statement. This is why I hate media sometimes and the stupid people that only follow quotes instead of context. Let's get ready for the fish to lose tonight and next week!

TC in St. Louis Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 It took a 39 yard pass by a 3rd string quarterback to a 3rd receiver to put us in position to move toward the win. They had the ball at the 41, and in my opinion he should have gone for the first down. It reminded me of Gregg Williams punting on 3rd and 2 against the Patriots in 2002.....gutless, but we lost that game. The win was a fluke. I am thrilled that we won, but had we lost I don't know that I could look at a single replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
