WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 29 minutes ago, Logic said: As someone who called for McDermott to be replaced after this season, it's only fair for me to come here and say... That man deserves a world of credit right now. From keeping the team together and going from 5% chance at playoffs to the two-seed, to keeping this defense together with duct tape and baling wire, to holding the Steelers to 17 points despite being down to CBs 4, 5, and 6 and two backup linebackers. He made major changes to the way he was calling defense on the bye week, he had the courage to fire Dorsey mid-season. All in all, Coach McDermott just deserves a ton of credit. A ton! Bravo, coach. Way to go! GO BILLS!!! I was there with you. So credit where credit is due. McDermott righted the ship and today we saw Playoff Josh again and it was beautiful. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo44 Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 McDermott’s decision to try a 49 yard fg at end of 2q was ill advised. Converting non 4th and 7 was a likelier outcome and if you want to be conservative, punt it to their 10. The game would have been a blowout otherwise I think 1 1 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big thumbs up to all the fans who waded through and stood in the snow for the game. The snow was mostly getting thrown. They warned us about every 7 minutes not to throw snow. But with all the touchdowns, they weren't stopping anyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As per Ian Rappaport I love this news but the ankle is a funny thing. My son broke his a few years ago and the initial x-rays were negative; after the swelling went down they did an MRI and found a fracture. Just too many little bones in that area. If it’s only a sprain, well, thank the baby Jesus. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuckyBoys Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 1 minute ago, ScottLaw said: Still don’t understand people saying this. Unless I’m wrong about the wind a 49 yard kick is pretty close to a chip shot in today’s NFL. If you can trust your kicker to hit that you need a new kicker. We might be nearing the cant trust the kicker point of the discussion for McDermott 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thrivefourfive Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I hate how the Bills always seem to find a way to make it dramatic. The game should’ve been over in the first half. In the 2nd quarter they kept throwing it to the runningback or receive behind the line of scrimmage. They got wonderful field position at the their own 45, and went three and out and lost yardage. Kicked it and then Bernard got hurt. Then they CANNOT EXECUTE a 49 yard field goal and the whole thing was fueled to go up in flames. I just want to say one more thing about the terrible field goal unit. Bass will kick a 55 yarder half way up the net. He needs to be counted on to make that 49 yarder. It’s in his range, and you just have to put him in a position to succeed. It was the right call. But there also has to be consequences for botching it. I don’t know what that is, but this unit has to be made to understand that you won’t hesitate to call on them whenever and wherever. Until Bass starts missing them short but perfectly straight, all this is in his head. So Bass, I promise you, you’ll never miss a 49 yarder short. Just kick the damn ball up into the air! 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just posted in the injury thread If Dodson is a torn labrum as rumored even if he comes back he's likely going to be a shell of himself - and if he takes direct hits on the shoulder it could pop out and/or debilitate him pretty quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Jones Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 For those who went to the game: How in holy hell did y'all get the snow all cleared from the seats? Where did you put the snow? During the pregame show, not too long before kickoff, it looked like half the stadium's seats were covered in white, then at kickoff time, the stadium looked full and no white to be seen! Also, what percentage of the crowd were Squealers fans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
