Ya I agree with that. Before the year I thought they were a 5 win team. Somehow they find themselves right in the middle of a playoff race

I guess from a fans perspective, I'm mad he didn't go for it because I'm assuming the bills have 0 chance against the Pats. So tie against the Colts and lose against the Pats, the season is done. I understand the coach can't mark losses on the calendar, but he should also know it's almost an impossible task to win those last 3 games, especially given the tough schedule ahead. That's where I think he mis calculated the decision to play"not to lose". 9 and 7 gives you a descent shot so you can maybe afford to lose one more game. 8-7-1 gives you no shot

I heard it on wgr today. They definitely would need some help

Apparently if they finish 9 and 7 they have a 60 percent chance to get in. But yes I know what you're saying. Honestly answer this though. Do you actually think the bills are going to go in New England and win? From a fans perspective, not a coaches perspective 9 and 7 gives them a 60 percent chance to get in as of now

I think going into this game he had to know it was a must win, absolutely. You can't bank your season on winning the last 3 games, especially with two road games and one against the defending champs. Its a very clear cut decision to go for it in my opinion. And it actually didn't go exactly the way he planned it. He planned not to lose the game. It was better than he even expected

When was the last time the Bills won in Foxboro? Not counting the 2014 game where the Pats pulled their starters at the half

Lol what in God's name makes you think they would win in New England if they can't even beat the Colts at home? A tie barely preserves anything. 3 percent chance if they tie. If he's happy with that then he is a loser coach. You have to win that game yesterday against a terrible team. No if, ands, or buts

No, yesterday's game is an absolute must win. That should have been their only mindset. You know if the Bills tied, they would have a 3 percent chance of getting into the playoffs right? That's about a 1 and 33 chance. You are content with those odds? Might as well be 0 percent . A win put their odds I believe at over 30 percent? If he's content with 3 percent odds then that is honestly just sad. They needed to win that game yesterday

I want a coach who isn't content with a tie to a bottom feeder...

Exactly.

Out of curiosity, why shouldn't he factor in that game at New England? That absolutely should have factored into his decision. You cannot tie 3-9 teams and expect to get into the playoffs. He should have went all in for that win yesterday and a tie shouldn't have even been an option

Not buying that for a minute. No disrespect to you or the original poster. NE is still a juggernaut of a team

?? After 5 super bowls and a 10-2 record this year, teams are now catching up to his systems?...

Anyone still think we are sweeping Miami?

Ya he definitely was banking on that 3 and out, but never got it. To me I think it's more of a risk to punt. If Colts pick up 2 first downs, the bills season is basically over . (Barring a miracle win at New England) I don't know. I don't like it on so many levels but at the end of the day I guess they won so I promise I'll stop my bitching within the next day or two lol

Jimmy garalappo threw more than Brady that game though. They may have started with their main guys, but I believe they pulled lots of them after the first or second quarter

Ya I hear your point, but that would literally be a best case scenario outside of a turnover. I'm sure if the bills got the ball back at their own 40 after he punted there, he would have signed up for that. Which would again, meaning a longer field for his awful offence

Here's the problem with that argument though. You're saying he didn't trust his offence which is probably true. If you don't trust your offence, why wouldn't you try to convert that 4th and 1 and then get 15 to 20 yards for most likely the game winning field goal? Opposed to stopping the Colts and then having to go a much LONGER field with the offence he doesn't trust? That right there makes no sense to me assuming he didn't trust his offence

He said the tie wasn't a bad thing. By punting, he was not going purely for the win. Which is ridiculous on so many levels

lmao alright buddy. You'll see in two weeks when they get pasted against the Pats. There is difference between having a loser mentality and having a realistic mentality. Brady is 27-3 in his career against the Bills and I believe has never lost to the bills in Foxboro. But sure, tying the colts makes a lot more sense to set up a must win game against those odds against the patriots. How much you want to bet the Bills lose that game? I'll give you great odds even

That mindset was very close from pretty much eliminating them from the playoffs today. They are not beating New England in Foxboro

Well ya based on Brady being 27 and 3 or something against the Bills in his career and pretty much kicks the piss out of them every game for the past 17 years, it's pretty safe to say that game will be a loss.

If they tie the Colts at home, what makes you think the bills would have any chance in Foxboro? I mean unless Brady and Belichick have explosive diahhrea that day... They absolutely had to win that game yesterday

Ok lol. Odds are the Bills are going to lose by two touchdowns or More, and if not by that much, then they will still lose the game. If you think otherwise then place your bet on the bills that game. But I won't be, that's for sure

I don't think so though. They would be 1 game up over Pittsburgh with 2 games to play for both teams. If NE lost the last 2 games and Pitts won the last 2 games, NE would be 12 and 4 and Pittsburgh would be 13 and 3
