Sky Diver Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) In this weather, when they were taking chances on 4th down all day? Who made that ridiculous call?

Klaista2k Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I'm not that upset about it. Bills offense wasn't able to get in the end zone all day and Haushka is usually money. Just a bad kick. It happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McNubbins Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I'm sure Tyrod Taylor made the decision to go for the FG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Diver Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 (edited) Hauska was struggling from distance in warmups. It was cold and damp and the ball wasn’t carrying well. It was a terrible call. Edited December 24, 2017 by Sky Diver 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heitz Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 Hauschka is 7 - 8 on 50 yard FGs, the Bills are 2 - 13 on Fourth Downs this season, FWIW. http://www.nfl.com/teams/buffalobills/statistics?team=BUF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob in STL Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The right call on 4th and 1 from the Pats* 33 was to go for the first down. Nothing to lose. Expecting the kicker to deliver a 50 yarder in cold and wind is not smart. The miss just handed them 7 yard plus the momentum. Bad decision.

Jackington Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 The first 4th down call was stupid, take the points. The second 4th down call to kick the 50 yard FG was stupid, go for it there. Not good coaching decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sky Diver Posted December 24, 2017 Author Share Posted December 24, 2017 It must have looked like South Florida on TV: Warm and sunny, lol I was there and watched Hauska warming up. To try a FG from that distance was asinine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 I get the wanting to be aggressive but McDermott said himself we failed earlier in the game to make it on 4th down and we couldn't get in the endzone several times before that with Tyrod skipping a pass to Mccoy. How was he supposed to have any confidence in his offense? I like being aggressive but there comes a point when you gotta be realistic too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needed the tie there. How many of the 4th downs were 4th and 1? and how many were end of game 4th and long? I wouldn't have been upset if they went and failed. I would have still been upset if the kick was good. The decision was bad. Edited December 24, 2017 by Chemical 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was that supporting a position with facts, logic, and history make people unpopular on this board. It doesn't matter if you're overwhelmingly correct, people refuse to believe what their own eyes clearly showed them. Thanks again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
