I would say based on history.

 

In big games, MCD definitely seems to get conservative IMO.

 

Think chiefs last year, Tampa this year etc

Tampa game is offset by the titants game this year.....  

 

Please just stop for the love of everyone else's brain

Well show the actual history of the decision making.

 

The numbers don’t actually bear this out. It’s guys on this message board speaking from their recollection.

prob in the minority here but i think Brown will do OK at LT today after a week of practice at position, i think he is gonna be our best lineman in the next few years, would rather give him a shot than a rusty Dawkins

It seems like he punts on 4th and shorts and kicks more chip shot field goals in big games.

 

I don't have any data to back it up, but it's something I have noticed personally. JMO

Pregame transactions, McDs prior playing not to lose tendencies in big games. 

Please. What pregame transactions?

Moss? How do you know it’s not because we’re going to throw 60 times and he’s the better pass protection back. 
 

please.

LFG. Good teams rise up when its all on the line. Go Bills

Yep.

 

In reality McD is not a conservative coach by any definition of the word. Certain people just tend to focus on certain games for the sake of the narrative.

That’s been done dude. Plenty of times.

Scott. It’s never been done once. 
 

You speak based on your memory of things and never show any actual evidence.

Where would you rather be?

Moss mode.  We may see lots of 2 back sets today. 

This was my worst fear- that McD and Daboll try to play ball control with NE rather than play to strength.  Bad Idea.

I can't believe they're letting Brown play LT and sitting Dawkins just because he didn't practice. Frustration is off the charts. We're going to lose.

 

Jesus freaking Christ. You're going on my ignore list.

Exactly… it’s off the top of your head. 
 

There are outlets that track this… he’s considered one of the top decision makers when it comes to making the right decision in those situations.

At the same time, Dawkins was only just activated, he hasn't practiced all week, and Lord only knows what shape he's in, so there's that.

 

People who have been lobbying to see Ryan Bates on the notion that anyone would be better than Ford or Feliciano will Get Their Wish.

you think it's just because Dawkins "didn't practice"? you, and no one else here, knows his level of stamina &  strength due to being out from the Vid.

 

The amount of conjecture, projection, and speculation here can be staggeringly bad.

 

"we're going to lose ..... " ........ughhhhh..........:(((((

In big games though?.. that's what I am saying.

 

I am not saying he's conservative in general.

 

My point is it seems when the games get big, he plays more on the conservative side.

Would you guys start sanders over st brown for fantasy?

Maybe its so they can run their game script early in the game that they have planned this week?
