I've been screaming for Bills DBs to do this on passes all season and of course one of the few times they execute a knockdown on a pass perfectly, it actually works against them. Then McD helps out with a TO. 

 

Yeah if only Hyde could have swatted the one in the end zone earlier...

[BuffaloRebound]

I wouldn’t call it clutch.  The Eagles have a big lead in their division and conference.  And nobody’s blaming the kicker who misses a 59 yarder in terrible conditions.  Hardly any pressure from on him.  Still a heckuva kick.

I figured there was about a 5-10% chance of anybody hitting that kick in those conditions.

I had no doubt in my mind that he was going to make it.

yep!

He said it in his post game presser. You can find it on their website or the Bills app

Great kick, but yesterday’s game is rather meaningless for the Eagles. The stage wasn’t big enough.

If only some numbskull of a Head Coach hadn't have given him a beat to catch his breath...

he did it AGAIN. Wtf is wrong with clappy mcclapperson?

On a really long kick attempt where you know the launch angle has to be low and up the middle, why not put Groot in the A-Gap instead of Tim Settle?  That's probably 12" or more in vertical reach.

I shouldn’t have said “clutch”.  Posters who have indicated you can’t have the most clutch kick in the regular season are 100% right. Has to be playoffs or Super Bowl.  How about “most difficult”? Hitting a 59 yard FG on grass in the rain is nuts.

Honestly, I would be shocked when factoring in weather conditions if it was higher than 5%

You forgot about the option of he missed it but the Bills had a penalty....that was definitely in play there too

[BillsPride12]

In all seriousness it was a VERY impressive kick...but I was also expecting it to be good the entire time.  The life of a Bills fan

McDermott calls timeouts like he’s calling his crack dealer.

This amazing clutch FG with the end of game on the line, the weather, the distance, etc..  it couldn’t come against Dallas or SF huh?!? it had to come against a team they play once every 4 years or whatever. sheesh.  As a fanbase and team,  we cannot get a break to save our lives.

Vinatieri in snow vs Raiders divisional playoff was probably in my opinion 

[Breakout Squad]

That was the best kick I’ve ever seen. It sucked watching it go in.

I didn’t mind the timeout. Standard procedure.

My personal favorite is Steve Christie hitting a 41 yarder, down 2 points, at the end of regulation, in the sleet, vs Tennessee in the playoffs. Unfortunately, you know what came on the ensuing kickoff so it’s completely washed away by history.

 

Incidentally, it seems appropriate today to remember that on that play Dehaven wanted the Bills to run another play so that they could kick the FG with the last snap of the game but was overruled by Wade Phillips in another dubious HC game management decision. So, this kind of crap is not unique to McDermott.

No matter what happened Hoculi and company would have called some obscure penalty on Bils if kick was missed
