A tie is only better than a loss because he thinks we can go and beat NE on the road.... McD deals in terms of what is possible, not what is probable. To me that is the hallmark of a coach that will find it difficult to compete against peers that are intelligent.

I should have described the headshot better, I didn't mean by a defender just that his head banged off the turf. Your second point is semantics. He went off because the drive ended. Savage was then evaluated and allowed to continue playing, as I stated. Despite the optics of an obvious brain injury and concussion. The system failed. It was reported that the Texans are saying they didn't see the video of him shaking. What good is the protocol if it misses video that every fan saw and if somebody who suffered trauma like that can't be diagnosed without the video?

Biggest game in years Against our old foes the fish Let's go Buffalo

Pagono is coaching a 3-9 team when he makes that decision, who cares? In fact, at 3-9 a tie might look pretty good. McD is coaching a team in the playoff hunt and a tie is a loss... There is no debate, McD's decision was much worse and frankly leaves me with little confidence in him, in any. Not understanding simple game management is alarming, but not uncommon for Bills HC's. The next time Pegula hires a coach I think he should skip the interviewing and just give each candidate a list of scenarios, judge them on their ability to understand simple probability.

Punting the ball in OT was easily the dumbest coaching decision I can remember any Bills coach ever making, and that is saying a lot. I don't want to be rude so I'll just agree to disagree.

For all those that are clamoring for math to show why this was such a stupid decision, please see link provided. http://www.nytimes.com/newsgraphics/2013/11/28/fourth-downs/post.html And this is simply a generic 4th down study, it doesn't factor in the actual situations of this particular scenario. I find it hard to believe that people on here can't see what a piss poor decision punting was, it is truly mind boggling.

Who knows? Ref saw it, commentators saw it, everybody watching the broadcast saw it....and yet Savage was put in the next series.

I know the concussion protocol is a work in progress but if the refs don't currently have the ability to rule a player out, they should. Implement training for officials to at least recognize symptoms and make recommendations for evaluations at bare minimum. If Savage takes another blow after that he could be permanently disabled.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s4A21ZW6_f4 This clip is pretty scary in its own right. But to think that Savage was allowed to play the next series is criminally negligent IMO. The ref watched him shake from a headshot off the turf and doesn't have the ability to rule him out? How does the team let him play after seeing that? I know he only threw a few passes in the next series before the Texans did the right thing but this is ridiculous.

Hahaha, haven't thought of that in a long time.

So your wish is one grown man punches another grown man over a disagreement (Schopp is right btw) about football play calling... How's that perspective you possess working out for you in everyday life?

Win probability says it is the wrong move...which it definitely was.

One of the craziest games of the drought. blizzard conditions Peterman KO'd Refs screw the Colts on 2 pointer that would have sealed the win 43 yard extra point that hooks 10 yards and in 3rd string QB is picked with less than a minute left Missed FG sends it to OT McD's disgraceful punt decision Gore sets a record for most carries by an ancient RB Thompson's snow cone catch Shady's run to put him over 1000 and seal the win with a great TD snow celebration

I'll take the win...but I am so disappointed in McD's decision.

What is the most depressing is that we are stuck with McD for at least 2 more years... How can we have any hope with a guy who is that stupid? Maybe the worst decision I can remember during the drought.

McD just wanted to show everybody he can make a worse decision than starting Peterman in SD....mission accomplished. Idiotic punt...I'm done with this moron.

TO....did he come to his senses?

FIRST DOWN!

McD will play for overtime...

The life of a Bills fan...can't even get excited when the refs screw another team because you know it won't matter. How does that kick go in?

Well this game will go down in infamy....so pathetic.

Why call the TO?

This game comes down to the Bills D. It's very unlikely that Webb can lead a scoring drive of any kind.

Come on D!
