This is kind of where I’m at.

 

I am a McDermott critic but I thought his game management was great Thursday

 

When it’s 4th and 2 plus and you’re up 14 in the 4th, you punt in those spots especially when Tampas offence is horrible.

 

And even if it was 4th and inches there, you still punt it and make Baker go 80-90’yards in 20 seconds with 0 timeouts..

I'm a McD skeptic and I had no issue with either punt. Perfectly fine decisions there. 

The timeout on defense on the last series after their first or second play was dumb. 

The worst was letting Dorsey rub Murray out of shotgun on the 6 in line. That has to be under center with a fullback(preferably a DT) or Allen sneak.

Absolutely. At first I thought it may have been an RPO, but after looking at the replay, I see that it’s just a straight up hand off. The WRs don’t even move on the snap. They just stand there. If you’re going to so that, then put in your big guys.

And he almost did it.  Unfortunately, the defense is anti-clutch right now so the safest defense in that situation is to get the first down. The offense needs to close it out because the defense can’t be relied on.

Offence has to close it out on 3rd down, agreed 

 

But you have to punt that ball on 4th.

 

Under 0 circumstances should an offence go 80-90 yards in 20 seconds with 0 timeouts. (Which they didn’t)

Thoughts the spots were consistently bad all game long.

If you want to talk about bad refs just look back to the bucs TD where there was a bills LB jumping to try to int the ball and got shoved mid-air.

I don’t understand why mcd taking so much for being conservative

 

He hasn’t been in the past

 

Their office was getting nowhere and we had the lead wouldn’t make sense not to get them good field position?

You don't have to play the field position game if you keep your foot on the gas and stop playing not to lose. Not dissing your idea at all, I get it, just my mindset on not letting up. I like the bench josh in the 4th quarter Bills best lol
