TB @ Buffalo Game thread - 1st Half

[balln]

I don’t know what to tell you guys. McD is awful. Calling a TO there is so scared / conservative. Let them rush FG unit on ! My god

[Johnnycage46]

Lamest end of a half ever?

[Nelius]

That entire series was bizarre but will take it 

[SUNTANBILLS FAN]

Shoulder is fine everyone 

[Chaos]

possibly the worst single example of clock management I have ever witnessed for one play.  Either take the time out immediately or not at all. 

[HalftimeAdjustment]

That 4th down was all a big waste of time.

Then call it right away rather than wait. 

 

Yeah there is no excuse for what just happened.

He banged a 57, why wouldn't you try  59?  Gutless.

because if they miss, Allen can complete two quick passes use the two timeouts and get a field goal attempt.

Can anyone explain why we did call a to?!

Field position if they miss a long field goal

Bizarre from Tampa.

Why not try to get us to jump if they’re gonna punt anyways?

Hate that timeout. Should have let them rush to get ot off

 

They'd have just run the clock down and walked off. They were never kicking it. 

 

I like the way McDermott handled that. You don't call timeout while the offense is out there but as soon as they run off call it.

Are you sure? It's the exact kind of play you've criticized him for before. Ran out of a perfectly clean pocket.

Not true at all but you be you.

Bills coach tendencies I think. Didn’t want to give time or field position. McD bit on it

[TheBrownBear]

Super smart gamesmanship from McD there.  Have to tip the cap on that one.

[jlgarsh]

McD not calling the TO with 40 seconds left was asinine

Dumb.  Call TO right away or not at all…

Indeed. McDermott’s hamster was on the wheel.

McD calls a dumb TO and Bowles still doesn’t try the FG? Terrible on both sides

And then Bowles tried to get us to jump anyways.

Cuz unlikely he gets the 1D.

They already made a 57 yd FG though with plenty to spare.

 

No reason to give up such a long completion.

[dma0034]

Okay.... I don't understand why people are mad.

 

Bills don't call a TO then the Bucs snap the ball at 3 and get a no risk FG attempt.

 

Bills call a TO and then the Bucs have to decide if it is woryh the risk. They miss and the Bills have it at the Bills 49. One play and they'll be in FG range
