Simon Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 1 minute ago, Ralonzo said: I get that, but even if you see their #1 WR totally uncovered, you only run down to call a TO for that, ideally, late in the 4th. Otherwise you'd end up burning your TOs early in every half if you're calling them when you think you have an unfavorable D matchup. I have to wonder if that was the case. They'd been having problems with flooded zones creating big plays all day and I just wonder how badly they were outnumbered over there. Due to past "tendencies" I'm not giving McD the benefit of the doubt on that decision, probably until the day they're shoveling dirt on me. It was just a weird enough game that I want to see it for myself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 Overlooked in all of these comments is that McD almost called a timeout to take away the touchdown to Knox. He ran all the way down the sideline and just missed getting it all called to make yet another screw up. He was horrible in-game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I mean the 1st timeout I didn't understand at all but the 2nd 1 you could see someone or multiple someone's didn't know who had who on the play and as infuriating as it was it was the right thing to do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chaos Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 There seems to be no thoughts to McDermott's timeouts. Only coach in the league who calls a timeout to prevent the other team from getting a delay penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the throw goes for 6, people would be crapping! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shortchaz Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 I personally feel like this team is starting to regress in a few ways and we’ve gone as far as we can with this current coaching staff. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ganesh Posted January 16, 2023 Share Posted January 16, 2023 1 hour ago, 947 said: I hated using both of them. I'm from the school of thought that you don't use defensive timeouts unless something crazy happens like 10 men on the field. The game was close, there was a chance we were gonna need those timeouts for a comeback attempt. you could easily argue the other way too. If the Dolphins make a play due to a poor alignment on our defense, then it wouldn't have mattered. Coach made the right call. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not doing a paper on the subject, I’m having a casual conversation. I intentionally used the word FEEL. The bills are winning but haven’t taken the next step, I believe they are starting to regress. Perhaps we can revisit this after next weekend.
