Stupidest Challenge of All Time

[WEATHER DOT COM]

A gain of 9 yards is nowhere near close to the value of a timeout.

 

The play was not obvious and should not have been challenged.

 

Whoever made that decision is a moron. 

[BuffaloRebound]

Agreed.  Mcdermott is not a good end of game coach.  

[Call_Of_Ktulu]

Welcome to the amazing game manager McD

[buffblue]

To me it was obvious. The ball clearly tipped upward off his fingertips, not the ground 🤷

[BillsFan130]

There’s just so many game day decisions he whiffs on.

 

Not doing the Hail Mary at the end of the half.

 

That stupid challenge.

 

Calling timeouts on defence before big plays when it never works.

 

I have never been a fire MCD guy but I’ve seen enough

It was a catch. The refs ***** us all night long.

100% agree with this. McDermotts situational awareness resembles a pile of dog crap 

[RiotAct]

that call should have been overturned, it was clear from that reverse angle that the ball hit his glove, NOT the ground.

[dma0034]

McD's use of TOs are a huge problem. Taking TOs for the defense. Dumb challenges

[Big Blitz]

Yep 

[wppete]

Once again proves McDermott is a complete idiot. But I’m his mind he is the smartest man out there. Arrogance on another level.

1. It was a catch

 

2. That timeout made no difference.  When they get that first down, it was game over.

Not the point. It was called incomplete in the field. Much harder to overturn it. Especially when it’s 50/50

[MikePJ76]

it was moronic.  zero reason to take that risk

[Juice_32]

I said it in the game day thread. That’s the one that pushed me over the edge. If he genuinely thought that was the right call there, he has to go.

Regardless if it was a catch or not . The risk v potential reward was simply not worth it. Mcdermott's situational awareness is non existent 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

I have had enough of this coach. I’m done. I’m pretty sure the playoffs aren’t happening this year so it might actually really be the end. Just an inexcusable season

THAT is the correct answer!

 

Who among us could ever,ever, ever trust ‘13 Seconds’ to close out games properly?

 

McClapper is appallingly bad when the heat is on.

McDermott hired the idiots up in the booth.  Dumb & Dumber....I think even hard core McD fanboys are finally realizing the game day stupidity of this guy. And what he did tonight is nothing new.

Trust the process!!!
