The biggest non play Monday night

[Billever76]

It's 4th and 2,we have just knocked Rodgers out of the game. The entire stadium was flat and in disbelief what just happened...the MOMENTUM was screaming come and take me....womp womp womp McDermott trots out Tyler bass for a chip shot FG and a 3 point lead...what a gutless Coaching decision

Go on the sideline and let's see how the Bills play

In a defensive struggle where your offense is scratching and clawing for every yard? You take the points there. It was the right call.

Love the excuses for our ultra conservative coach who lacks killer instinct

It was an interesting decision. In the past he goes for it. I’m not sure why he made that decision. He’s actually one of the most aggressive head coaches in the NFL on 4th down.

It wasn't an excuse. It was an ask. I want you to go on the sideline, you call the plays, and let's see how the team does.

It was the beginning of the game....Rodgers was just taken out...we had drove down the field and had a dagger ready to stab all momentum out of the entire stadium.... McDermott chose a pillow over the dagger

[I'm Spartacus]

We get it. You feel McDermott is soft. You'd rather Dan Campbell be our coach, yes?

[QB Bills]

Terrible decision by him. He couldn't wait to kick that FG. Had his arms above his head just as Harris got tackled. Embarrassing.

McDermott makes some head-scratchers, isn’t wasn’t one of them.

 

More upset over the 3 & out play call in OT

That was on Dorsey and his cook draw on 2nd and 15 right at Q Williams 😂

You take the points. You have zack wilson coming in with a poor offensive line in front of him. Should be a cake walk...................................................................................................................................................................................................

Gotta think he knows his players and at that point he knew Josh was in a sugar induced coma throwing up ducks hoping for a miracle.

Yeah that Dan Campbell sure is a terrible coach, and Detroit appears to be going nowhere!

Would Andy Reid take the points? That's what separates good coaches from the greats...football is about momentum..early in the game we pick up that 4th and go in to score a TD the jets NEVER RECOVER

Except josh gave no indication he was sugar rush at that point lol...he was efficient and taking what the defense left open...nah that screams I don't trust my guys to pick up 2 yards

Hè maybe should have pulled Josh for a bit after 3rd int.  Give him a reality check not pleasant but anyone here think  that would snap Josh out of thinking too much.  The shock would certainly get his attention.

[Roundybout]

McD is statistically one of the most aggressive coaches in the league. This was discussed some time ago.

 

im fine with points there in the situation that we were in

I know, he's still the HC

[ngbills]

The worse call was declining the penalty and letting Jets kick the 45 yarder. Should have pushed them back 10 and maybe you get a sack or turnover. They were very unlikely to convert a 3 and 25.

I was responding to the point someone said they were more concerned about the 3 and out in it.  By then everyone knew Josh was  in a comatose state.  I would not even have questioned if McDermott let Kyle play the ot . Talk about hammering home the take what they give game if  Kyle pulled the game out in ot doing just that.  It would have caused a media  sideshow though that could derail the whole team into a divided  group.    But it certainly is possible that would have been a correct  call.  But it is only 1st game so it isn't quite that desperate as te.  As a coach I'd tell Jish if he keeps getting into these fun thatvwill happen.  Just letting him know he'd do that might prevent Josh from Fallin into the chasm in future games.
