Schiano was giving Dave an earful earlier in the quarter when they needed to burn another TO bc they couldn't get personell right on a punt return

Said they trusted him from 53. Surprised me - especially on a humid wet day.

 

It wasnt a gimme kick.

 

And only a bills fan says special teams lost a game where the bucs offense scored only 7 points and the defense allowed 50 yards after the missed field goal

Ha. To be fair they did have a big TD pass called back on a nitty formation penalty...

Brees only needing a FG at the end felt like pretty much a formality the way Brady did last week.

It was under 50 btw.

It was 47 - right? That's not a gimme kick and I'm guessing in a game delayed over a hour that it wasnt great kicking conditions (wet field, soupy humid air).

Note the decision making. About as "spot on" as CAR's decision to attempt to go up by 6 points (and kickoff to BUF with 1:30 left in the game) rather than go for 1 yard to effectively end the game. Great idea - go up by 6 - give the ball back to BUF with only 2 clear possibilities: win the game with a TD and XP or lose the game. The alternative: win the game by gaining 1 yard, or don't gain the 1 yard and give BUF the ball back at their own 20 with a chance to win OR (more likely) tie and send it to OT. Brutal.

 

The decision-making in the NFL is frequently abysmal.

Yes the bolded part is not factored in enough by coaches. The Bills almost certainly go with a more conservative approach down 3 and thus virtually never win in regulation (I know Marrone said otherwise but that's hard to believe).

Plus he has the best short yardage QB in NFL history.

 

But hey, nobody on ESPN is going to blame Rivera today. But they would be if he had gone for it, failed, & they lost 23-20 in OT.

The media is disgraceful. So are coaches.

Tampa is imploding. They have talented guys all over the field but can't get it together. Wow. Freeman has always been one of those guys who has the physical tools, but you wondered about the mental. He overslept for the team pic? C'mon Man-ziel.

I don't think it was that bad a decision. Considering the Bills rep and a rookie QB up to that point, plus the fact our D was playing them tough all game, going up 6 was a good option.

The ST did. So did the offense. And the defense. It's not black and white. You can say any of them caused it and you would be right.

That's an ironic take by you considering your harsh assessment of EJ.
