McDermott keeps making game and clock management mistakes

Yeah, we're 8-6 and in the playoffs.  We may snap the drought.  But it's hard watching McD make the same mistakes game after game.  That TO before the 3rd down in the 4th QTR nearly cost us the game.  It saved Miami at least 40 seconds, which allowed them the onside kick and recovery.  I know we won, but I'm worried that one of these mistakes will cost us, like in the playoffs.  Why can't we ever get a coach with game and clock management skills? 

Yea, after 17 years hate to make the playoffs with a coach that messed up a few timeouts. Pegs should definitely clean house after this season.

I'm sure that's the coaches' fault somehow.

 

The first time they snapped it with lots of time remaining it may not be his fault but it's his responsibility to make sure to tell TT to drain the clock. He is the head coach and clock management is his responsibility. TT for sure should have known better, I'm not excusing that

It's true. Thank the lord groy is incompetent or that would have been a big play for Miami 

 

I'm just astonished by the same people who criticized the punt here criticizing that call in this game.

 

It's hypocrisy at its finest.

I criticized the punt but I also would have taken the 3 points there.

 

Game awareness because it makes it a 3 score game in the 2nd half.

 

Where i don't criticize mcd was going for it on 4th and 7 from the 35. They didn't get it but i think it was the right call because they were in no mans land

I dunno. He played great last year. He hasn't played hardly at all this year. He played one total play last week against the Colts and it was the game winning TD by Shady. 

Lol I know, just making a joke. I have nothing against the guy

That's just stupid. It's a totally different call. They should have gone for the FG this time for sure. It's obvious. Hauschka has a great leg. He's hit 12 of the last 13 over 50. We need the 3 points. It's fourth and 7. You're a total moron if you think that is the same call. It's embarrassing Joe.

Not being able to stop a nosebleed almost cost us the game.

If not for Cutler gifting us some turnovers, the defense was giving up plays all 2nd half. If it was 3rd & 20, you just knew they'd make it. 4th & 14? Easy stop for anyone but the Bills. It was maddening out there.

You must not have been in the gameday thread.

 

I wanted a FG on 4th and 1 from the 1. Because you ALWAYS take the points.

 

100% of the time. Also thought a punt was the right call on the long attempt to Clay.

So it wasn't just one thing?
