Kneeling 🧎‍♀️it down with 20 seconds left, one of the best QBs in thr league, and one TO

[PepeSilvia]

They deserved to lose. Too many mistakes. Too many penalties. Two missed fg’s. On the OT drive alone, there was a dropped pass for a first down, two wrong ran routes/miscommunications (one to win the game).

McDermott has to go.

[BILLieve85]

Kneels it, yet plays soft zone coverage giving Philly all they wanted in OT. Soft.

I had no problem kneeling it out with 20 seconds. What I have a problem with is the consistent vanilla defense when ahead late in the game. He lacks zero killer instinct and allows teams to stay close. We are an above average team that becomes average. 

Your season is on the line. You should be playing like you need a field goal to tie the game and send it to overtime. Especially with how successful you have been on offense all game. If you're worried about an INT then why ever even throw it in overtime? It was a gutless, stupid decision.

20 seconds isn't a thing. 

 

And if it is intercepted then this thread has a different title and the coach is called a moron. 

Honestly?  If it’s intercepted, so what?

 

Need to win out.  Whatever it takes.

 

Now, we got The coin toss and had the winning TD if Davis didn’t suffer from rectal cranial inversion (head up his arse).  Still, have to win out so….should have gone for it.

[ALLinALLEN]

We kneeled and prayed we got the ball...then got it...then kicked a fg inside the 10 yard line.

 

fire the coach

The Bills has 23 seconds against the lions last year and went down and scored……

TOs do not carry over in OT.

Totally disagree.  No one on this forums in their right mind could have made a case saying “dumb McDermott should have went to overtime and trusted his world class defense”.

 

Sorry if Josh throws an interception or there’s a sack fumble the narrative of this game is another second half collapse and bad officiating.  No one would have hung McDermott out to dry for TRYING TO WIN THE GAME.

They would have has 20 seconds and 2 timeouts! The Eagles had none. Try to win it in regulation. 

[Danger Mouse]

Last years Lions and this year's Eagles are different teams

 

Look, if you want to focus on all the stuff that happens in the counter factual, then crack on if it makes you feel better.

 

A board of soothsayers will always know more than the men making the actual decisions.

P.s. that has 0 to do with anything I posted

[Big Blitz]

He’s a loser.  

[thenorthremembers]

Maybe if the QB has given the coach any confidence that he wouldnt throw the ball to the other team or the kicker had shown that he can kick a long field goal the coach would have went for it.   If Allen throws a int and loses the game everyone is on McDermott for going for it.

Kneels. 

 

This coach is a total loser.

 

Why not try to win the game? 
 

He should be walking back to Buffalo. 
 

So pathetic 

I think part of it has to do with your screen name. Don’t love playing hero ball in the pouring rain.  I was fine with playing for OT. 
 

That said, I would have gone for it on 4th down in OT. That was the time to win the game.

[Rigotz]

My problem is not necessarily the kneeling with 20 seconds as much as it is blowing two time outs before doing that.

 

Blow a time out with 30 seconds left before the third down play… ok.

 

Blow another time out with 25 seconds left to… ice the kicker?

 

THEN KNEEL?

 

Pathetic.

I see that now. Lack of punctuation.

[JMM]

I've always defended McDermott,  for all he has done. Despite the losses.  I started to have doubts last year. The doubts grew deeper this year. After he kneeled with 20 secs to go, when he played to go to OT, he finally lost me. I'm DONE. I want him fired. We will not get to the promised land with him. FIRE HIM
