Does McDermott not know math? He is u questionably the worst situational football coach in the league. Down 17 on 4th and 6 with however many minutes left he goes for a low probability conversation. Should have taken the points made it a 2 score game. With the weather conditions you go for the onside kick and have a much higher chance of recovering. They should hire a coach whose only duty is to decide whether to challenge or not, take timeouts and decide on 4th down conversions vs points. Then McDermott can just stand on the sideline and clap. He clearly doesn’t light a fire under any coordinator it’s sickening… rant over. ✌️

I think the biggest mistake of the game was not taking the opening kickoff before field conditions worsened.   Had the Bills got the ball and marched down the field first and scored it might have boosted the morale of the team enough to make the game more competitive.

Gabe gets targeted a lot on low percentage throws. He has a lower catch percentage because of it. 
 

That should have been a catch. But he also deserves some more slack than he gets.

Absolutely get the points, when you need the points to mathematically win the game in a situation. He didn’t. Who’s adding up all his mistakes to President to brass for season ending evaluation? Please don’t tell me they just let the HC, GM propagandize their performances to the owners..?

50 seconds left before half and we don't use a single time out, if we could of scored and made it 17-10 17-14 before half we could of maybe done something. Just at a loss, not our day sucks. Lots of things always seem wrong after a loss. Always seem to struggle in the elements.

Honestly, these 2 teams were so mismatched today, I don't think something like that would have altered the outcome of the game.

He also just flat out drops balls that hit him in the hands.

I don’t fully blame McD, because deferring the coin toss is the call in today’s analytics driven league. I do agree that it wouldn’t have been a bad move. There’s times when offensive driven teams should take the ball first. Gaining momentum with a first drive score can be huge in these games, but it doesn’t seem to be valued.

I would’ve gone for it end of 2nd quarter instead of punting it away. We lost all momentum. It would’ve been a gamble for sure - but we needed to score points this game bc we weren’t stopping Cincy on defense. 
 

Not putting up any points to make it a one score game at half really killed any possible momentum imo.

We talk about learning from our mistakes a lot for a team that doesn’t ever seem to change anything throughout the year.

That our receivers drop the ball too much when Allen hits them in the hands perfectly?

 

Perfect throw, it needed to be caught.

The antithesis of last year's perfect game

The Bengals at that point in the game had possessed the ball 7 times and the Bills had forced exactly one punt.  On the other possessions they had scored 3 touchdowns, 2 field goals and one Hail Mary to end the half.  The simple fact is the only thing that was going to make a possible difference at that point in the game was scoring a touchdown.  McD knew his defense had not been able to stop Cincy all day and they probably weren't going to magically come up with a solution.

I think when he punted on 4th and 2 down 24-10 before the Bengals killed clock and got a fg was when it was over. I’d take JA on 4th and 2 vs this D to get a three and out. Who cares at that point if they score another TD. Game was essentially over by not going for it.

Yes a draw and use TO’s. But with motor only as Cook seemed to be on skates…

4th and 6 from the 16 and all of the recievers run to the endzone.

 

It wasn't 4th and goal... What kind of play call was that? 

It’s just run around and hopefully Allen doesn’t get killed and makes a play
