Sean’s Decisions

[since79]

On a clear challenge in the first half, he holds the flag and calls a time out. Maybe to give his guys a look or hopes the Refs take another look. After the time out, no challenge.  If your wasting a time out there throw the flag.You lose, you lose a time out, same outcome.

 

Later on D we take a time out and the announcers are shocked. Gave the refs a chance to look at a judgment call.  

 

Get the ball back with little time in the half. Boy could we have used the time outs.

 

He has no problem calling defensive timeouts.  Very predictable that he will do it and may times the other team converts as a result. 

 

If someone can look into this i would like to know our success rate in stopping a team after a defensive time out.

Not completely the same as if you don't win the challenge, you lose one that could be used later. 

 

Having said that, do agree if you're going to call the TO may as well throw the flag, but  do lose something.

 

Was it the Bills maybe 10 years ago, similar situation, team called a TO, then threw the flag and challenged.  Lost the challenge, so now lost two TO's plus a challenge  attempt.

I thought you were going to say his inability to address the running game or Oline for the past 2 years........oh, and his misuse of TO's suck.

[Doc Brown]

Not accepting that holding penalty to take them out of field goal range was odd.  I understand the percentages that the kicker won't make it but put some faith in your pass defense to make sure.

That would be on Bean

[SoCal Deek]

He sucks

[BillsFan1]

Spot on.  McDermott is shaky on game day, but the Media loves him so he gets a pass....

[Pete]

Not taking the holding penalty was moronic imo.

so was taking a timeout, and not challenging.

 

mcDermott has blown many challenges this year!  

[BillsFan1]

yes the here kick a field goal i dont care was  not smart.  back em up and trust your defense.  cmon

He’s too defensive centric…. Everything about this team is….. The investment in the defensive line is just ridiculous…. Not enough to help the offense. 

That’s part of my point. Has no problem calling defensive timeouts. Yet tentative with an offensive challenge.

At the end of the day the Bills defense gave up 9 points against a terrible defense.   Timeouts on defense are the least of this teams issues

McD was out coached by Urban Meyer. LMAO

The run up to the line and try to draw them Offside on 3rd-short is getting old.

Sarcasm?  Or do you REALLY think that he sucks?

Well I think something that is clear is we need a physical mismatch on the outside. 

 

We are back to the smurf Wide Receivers who can't separate. 

 

WGR talks about the deep ball, we haven't had a deep ball since 2018 with Robert Foster.
