I really like McDermott but I don't think he'll ever have the guts to pull moves like Petersen did in the Super Bowl 

 

That’s definitely his flaw. The Jacksonville game is an example of playing right into the opponents hand by being too conservative.

Results based business and he got the desired result.  I don't think we should micromanage or second guess decisions when the immediate result was that the game was won and the long term result was that win was part of a playoff season. 

 

Can't say it was the wrong call when it worked.  I disagreed with it at the time but that doesn't really matter.  The Bills won that is what mattered.  Playing hypothetical that he should have done something else removes a guarantee win and makes it questionable.  What if they had been stopped?  What if they turned it over?  All of those things come back in play.  As it stands he made a call, it worked, they won.  Anything else is just guessing.

I am very concerned about some of McDermott's game day decision making.  We'll see how it goes in the future but he was no better than a "C" grade for last season, teetering closer to C- than C+.

I think it's important to remember that it was his first year as HC. That decision could have but him in the butt, but it didn't. There were a few questionable decisions last year, but that one was probably the most questionble.

 

BTW, it's March 2018
