NO coach is 100% perfect all of the time.   ALL coaches make questionable decisions.  
 

just stop.  Maybe try and go all in and land Ron Rivera??  

Why?  What has he done in the NFL that is better than McDermott

Really not a fan of our defensive scheme.  It’s designed to allow ball movement, it’s not aggressive enough.

4 and 5 and we brought no pressure - joke

When you can't get off the field you decline penalty and make them try a long fg or 4 th and 7.  Not even a decision to me.

You think those extra 2 yards would’ve changed mcvays mind? I think they might’ve gone for it 4th and 12 if that obvious false start was called even 

[Since1981]

I can’t figure out why they couldn’t shift on Rams 17

[MJS]

They couldn't stop Nacua and they couldn't get pressure on Stafford. That is the reason the Bills lost.

 

It was already a slim chance at the end that the Bills could win. It was a two score game with a minute left. Whatever you feel about the clock management, the bulk of the blame should be on the defense and containing Nacua.

 

Great game by Josh Allen. It was a very entertaining game. The Rams wanted it more and needed it more, I suppose. Kudos to them.

[PayDaBill$]

Special teams f up also loomed large.

[BillsFanNC]

As awful as the D and clock management was, it ultimately came down to a ST failure.

That's irrelevant.   Why give 2 downs then?

Yep, if nothing else you waste 45 seconds of the clock. Just a stupid decision.

I really want to hear the explanation for the timeout.  That should be interesting.

It’s indefensible. It’s worth the scrutiny he will get x1000 when you have Josh Allen looking for blood

Nah, epic fail on the part of the entire defense. You score 42 points you should win going away.

 

They acted like the Rams were trh greatest show on turf version and they are not even close to that.

 

Just putrid and that isn't on the coaches. At some point your defensive players have to have some f***ing pride and make a goddamn play.

 

You give up 44 points, players had plenty of opportunities to make a play and none of them did all day.

Don't forget the blocked punt 6 points.

 

No excuse for that either.

[MAJBobby]

Defense was SMOKED and had zero answers. Better get themselves right Detroit same offense with more than just Nacua

Sadly, Milano also had a bad game...being out of position.

I mean I think that one was tough.  I agree decline it but it really had no impact in The end.  I am interested in knowing who was in on the qb sneak call.  That seemed like a gaffe.

and lose...talk about doing your QB a disservice

[Chugga]

I don’t “hate” the QB sneak call.  It works for us.  It’s our bread and butter, you could argue we run it better than Philly.  But the offense should have been notified that if you come up short you’re lining right back up and you’ve gotta get it asap.

 

NO TIMEOUT

[VaMilBill]

They’re at the end with three timeouts, you gotta throw it to the end zone. Can’t afford to lose those timeouts. That was our best chance of getting the ball back. Were those chances high based on how our defense was playing? No. But it certainly was better than counting on an onside kick

I stayed out of GDT today but I'll go ahead and assume people will blame this on McD and defense.

 

While I agree that defense didn't do much today and McD made a mistake with accepting that penalty, I see two reasons why we lost:

 

Stafford and Nacua all world performance to almost match Allen all world performance, which leads us to the crucial point - blocked punt.

 

It was a great game and we would've won if not for that block.

That was in the 2nd-Quarter. 
 

 

[Billsatlastin2018]

17 responsible for 435 yards of Offense… 3 Passing TDs… 3 Rushing TDs…!!! 

 

but McClapper finds the way to ***** it up, with his brutal end of game decisions. 
 

What a ‘13 second’ buffoon he is!

What worries me the most is how this team makes the dumbest decisions when the games are close like this. McDermott declined the penalty and ran the ball when he should have passed it. Reid doesn’t make those mistakes…this is what is preventing us from getting over the hump…we played great, but these decisions emphasized that nothing has really changed. McDermott is who he is.

To be fair, Reid made those types of blunders routinely for more than a decade before they went on their current run. He WAS that guy who always f’ed it up. 

[97bills]

Everyone still want to pay groot, big games and no one close to getting a sack.
