Bottom line is a tie was bad in any realistic scenario. Expand The outraged people here act as if McDermott decided to kick a FG from the 1 with 2 seconds left down 3 points. When McDermott elected to punt there was still plenty of time to win the game. I wouldn't have punted. I would have preferred he not have made that decision. But considering the circumstances - and yes, the result - I'm not having a tantrum over it.

Expand Yeah, because the ownership has proven to be championship quality... I guess, maybe the Bills & Sabres fans got the ownership they deserve.

Expand 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.

But considering the circumstances - and yes, the result - I'm not having a tantrum over it. Expand This isn't exactly true. With the conditions being the way they were both defenses were having trouble stopping the run. If Brissett didn't throw on 1st and 2nd down right after Gore converted a 1st down there wouldn't have been enough time on the clock to score. The Colts basically gave the game away.

T-Bomb Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 Bottom line, McD lucked out this time with some 3rd stringers making plays in the snow. His thinking "process" in these situations is typical Neanderthal football jock mentallity, it will lose him more games than win. 1
PABillsfan23 Posted December 12, 2017 Posted December 12, 2017 I’m pretty much done with him. He’s just another sackless coach to come through here.
