I would have gone for it too!

[Irv]

We have the AFCE wrapped up. Why not?  Give the Titans a lot of credit.  They battled. We'll see them again. Great game to watch despite the outcome.  Not worried about them unless they get lucky again.

It took guts. McD’s players will love him for that. 

[DeltaDigital]

100%. if you want to be a big dog, you have to play like a big dog. your 6'5' 250 qb should get 7 inches of grass every single effing time. Poor execution, and the o line are BUMS. 

 

[Worstcaseontario]

Me too, great game of course i wanted a bills win but we'll have many more wins this season to be happy about

[Jerome007]

All commentators agree and I do too. Yeah it didn't work but good calculated risks on so many levels

[Nextmanup]

I don't have a problem with the call at all.

 

It makes me happy to see that McDermott has grown through his career to make that decision tonight.

He would NEVER have done that in his first few years as coach.

 

 

[wppete]

This guys cost us the game. No doubt about it.

 

[Big Turk]

I mean if you run that same play 100 times how many times does Allen not get a first down? Maybe that was the only time out of the 100?

The call was the right one,  we lost tonight because our defence looked like it did last season.

He definitely did. Yet I keep seeing people blaming Josh for “slipping”. Josh was knocked off balance because Dawkins got owned on that play. 

[Nextmanup]

Win Probability going for it on 4th down:  63%

 

Win probability kicking the FG and playing for OT:   42%

 

As I said above, I'm thrilled McDermott and his staff has grown to the point where they did this tonight.

They have gotten a lot better over time.

I liked the call to go for it, but would have preferred a RPO for Josh out of the gun.

Our Defense sucked tonight and our offensive line was below average. That’s all it takes for us to lose to anyone. See game 1 and tonight.

Except he was stopped earlier on a sneak. I think you spread them out and let Allen rush it

I mean he didn’t even get off the ball that was embarrassing. He’s been acting a fool a lot this year. Not a serious guy at a serious position. 

[Virgil]

Nope.  Not even 1 out of 10 times.  Stupid call.  Take the tie and bank on either getting the ball first or your defense. 
 

I hated it the moment they stayed on the field.  They called the play everyone knew was coming and got beat where the Titans kicked their ass all game.  
 

This loss is on McD as much as it is on the defense. 

[njbuff]

I thought Allen clearly got the first on that dive, but what do I know.

[Beast]

Good call going for it. Bad play call. 

 

Allen flourishes in the gun from there. Give him a damned RPO.

Did we even pressure Tannehill once let alone a sack?
