KingBoots8 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 I’d agree 99/100 times. Just happy this was the 1/100. 1 1 Quote
RiotAct Posted January 11 Posted January 11 disgaree, getting the TD is number 1 priority there. Although yeah ideally it’s with as little time left on the clock as possible. 1 4 Quote
Albany,n.y. Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) I'm glad McDermott is the coach & not the OP, whose name got censored causing me to edit this. Edited January 11 by Albany,n.y. 1 Quote
T.E. Posted January 11 Posted January 11 (edited) You do NOT burn a down on the biggest series of the season because you're terrified of possibly going to OT. McDermott made the right call by scoring and taking the lead. Up by three with a minute left and the opposition with zero timeouts is a helluva lot better than having to score on 3rd or even 4th down. Edited January 14 by T.E. 4 7 1 Quote
QB Bills Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Probably not the best timing for this thread, but you're absolutely correct. That is an inexcusable error. As always, we'll have to win in spite of McDermott's in game blunders. He's never going to change. 1 4 2 1 1 2 Quote

Fan in Chicago Posted January 11 Posted January 11 5 minutes ago, ***** said: Oh man how DUMB. Tre white saved McDermotts job. !!!! Dude I can’t believe our coaches are so dumb. To not call a kneel down there? on the half yard line, 1 minute left, 3 time outs, their kicker can kick 80 yarders, and :13 seconds. how how how do you make that mistake!?!?!? you TAKE A KNEE. KILL :40 seconds. THEN you have 3 plays with 3 TOs to use to get the TD with lat most, :15 seconds left. DUH DUH DUH DUH we won but that dumb decision could easily cost us the game AND, will likely cost us next week! gosh the complete lack of awareness and feel for how a game is going just drives me NUTS!!!!! Give it a rest at least for today 1 2 Quote
Buffalo Boy Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Just now, SageAgainstTheMachine said: No. No no no no. Tied or with the lead, you can think like this. You get the TD and don't give an incredible run defense a chance for the goal line stand. Then you let the defense (which was good today) make a stop. Like it was good at the end of the first half when the Jags were at their 1 yard line to start a drive, with less time left, and didn’t score because their super kicker missed??? 1 Quote

Taking a knee you LOSE yards. If they could go forward and still not get in that was the play but I suppose it is hard to stop start momentum like that. 4 Quote

Jags D essentially let him score, not sure if Allen was just trying to get stood up right outside the goal line or not. You’d think the fact that the jags LET US SCORE, would be enough for other posters to see how correct my take is. 3 1 1 Quote

One of the worst takes I've ever seen. I am no McD apologist, but you can NEVER assume the TD there. Never. 5 1 1 Quote
T.E. Posted January 11 Posted January 11 They've lost multiple playoff games by prioritizing the clock over the TD. He finally learned his lesson, and it's the reason we won. 1 4 1 1 Quote

Drain the block to about 10 seconds left….we had 3 time outs. Bill Cower agrees with me. I wonder what their forum is like rn "can't believe we didn't even try to stop them" 2 Quote
BullBuchanan Posted January 11 Posted January 11 My GF asked me this. I told her, against Mahomes, maybe you take that risk. Against the jags, you take the score when you can get it, and trust that your defense can stop a mid QB. If you can't stop Lawrence, you don't deserve to advance 1 7 Quote
TPP3975 Posted January 11 Posted January 11 Scoring on first down was negligence. Everyone knew they would let us score. And they would have done the same on second down. Jags were totally screwed in that situation. McD got snookered and it could have cost us the game. Lucky as hell. 1 6 1 1 1 3 Quote
