DaggersEOD Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 As soon as we kicked the FG, the game was over. Never once has our D made the game ending stop. If it has, I can’t recall when. We have better chance to win going for it on 4th and 10 on our own end of the field, hoping for a walk off TD drive than we would letting our D ever take the field needing a stop. 2 1 11 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QCity Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 There is some merit to this. Both defenses were gassed. Allen and Davis weren't on the same page on our OT drive and Philly didn't make that mistake on theirs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
streetkings01 Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Based on this season the defense has made 1 stop against the Giants that should’ve been a DPI. Other than that all our losses consisted of teams driving down the field with a game winning or game tie-ing score! 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickelCity Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Today was like clockwork. It's a shame. I'll forever be grateful for McDermott for making us a real team again. But it's over. 2 7 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a head coach, McD often loses perspective on the bigger picture, and has more belief in his defense than is warranted. The D played great for stretches. But you have to be blind to not see how the offenses took over late in the game. Neither D was stopping anyone. Have to go for it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to bold this, because I can't recall many times either. I'd rather it be a game like Tennessee a few years back when Josh slipped. Better IMO to lose being aggressive then let a team drive the field on your defense and lose the game. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Hutz Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 That’s the problem with McDermot - he plays to not lose rather than playing to win. 7 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we kicked the FG in OT I thought that realistically our best possible outcome was a tie. There was of course a small chance that we would get a turnover, but an Iggles FG or TD was far more likely. If they got a FG there wasn’t going to be any time left to score again, so a tie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaB Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I thought once they got over half they should have been in a 4 down offense. Playoff hopes are slim and a win is much better than a tie. I also had no faith in our D to make any kind of stop at this point. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Still can’t believe they kneeled at the end of regulation with 20 secs and a timeout… They lose the OT toss and they never get to see the ball.., been down that road a couple of times Edited November 27, 2023 by Aussie Joe 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could have ran 3 ***** plays, that's not a hail Mary low probability situation. Just horrible. And that's not the most upsetting thing mcd did tonight. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They ran 2/3rds of that on us. I do agree with the rest of you post though… aside from the fumble that wasn’t a fumble but was a fumble in the Chargers/Ravens game.

ExiledInIllinois Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 We made the stop. Caused a fumble and won the game. Unfortunately The League doesn't know what a catch is. Only they decide what it is. Bills won the game. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way for some teams in the League... Especially ones visiting hostile Philly. How man death threats would that officiating crew get if they called it a catch & fumble??? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh sorry, 0 for 6 with Allen, because in at least a few of those games he did everything humanly possible to win. We NEEDED to get a TD on that first drive today. Damn shame that Cover 0 essentially beat us in the Denver game, but we couldn’t cash in against Philly. Cover 0 - to me - is usually a gift in that situation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
