While I disagree with punting on 4th and 1, continuously ragging on it will do nothing productive. They won, yes I hated the call, but he is not wrong. He simply stated that he wanted a win, but would have rather tied than lost. Wouldn't you? This is quite the statement. This is why I hate media sometimes and the stupid people that only follow quotes instead of context. Let's get ready for the fish to lose tonight and next week! Yep, I’m idiot because I found McD’s logic to be crazy. I never follow the media these days. I simply found his quote indicative of who he is as an NFL coach. Too many NFL coaches lack a fundamental understanding of probability. Edited December 11, 2017 by DriveFor1Outta5

Cause even if the Pats beat Pitts next week, the magic number for them would be 1 to clinch the conference If Pats win this week and next and Jax loses next week, they lock it up

The call to punt was a donk move if I've ever seen one. Luckily he hit on the flop, the turn, and river.

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
oldmanfan Posted December 11, 2017 Posted December 11, 2017 The probability of them making it on fourth you can't determine from historical context because of the huge variable of the weather. They had not made two fourth downs earlier in the game which likely influenced decision making.

Ok, so it was in response to a question about a tie. A tie is better than a loss. I don't understand why people are vehemently against this concept. 1

A tie wouldn't have killed their playoff aspirations officially, but it sure as hell would have put them on life support at 6-6-1 with a game at NE looming in week 16. Bottom line is a tie was bad in any realistic scenario.

In reality 8-7-1 is not getting in the playoffs. 9-7 itself might barely squeak us in. So without playoffs draft order is the next goal IMO. 8-7-1 is worse for us draft wise than 8-8 is. 8-7-1 isn't the issue. 9-6-1 is. 9-6-1 gets the Bills in, 9-7 probably doesn't. The only outcome yesterday that almost certainly knocks you out is a loss. A win or a tie gives you a fighting chance.

I mean unless Brady and Belichick have explosive diahhrea that day... They absolutely had to win that game yesterday Edited December 12, 2017 by billsfan11
