NEVER, you kick the FG to tie the game regardless.

They had scored the last 6 times against us. You don't get a better look at a win. Dawkins can't get blown up there

Bills have 11 games left. They'll win 8 or 9. They'll be fine.

You kick the FG to tie the game, they have a ton of injuries on there D and if you hold them to 3 points we still get the ball and Allen was picking them apart.

Very big if.

We lost last year with McDermott coaching conservatively. That sneak should have been a gimme. Win percentage was with us going for it there. Their d was hurt the whole second half - they had adjusted.

Josh Allen always trying to be the hero and i'm one of his biggest supporters. How do you not kick the field goal to tie the game.
- SABRES 89


Well, Smith on special teams failed them with a hold that took 6 points off.
They should have tried the hard count to get offsides.

I like the moxy to go for the win.
If they kicked it, this Board would have gone full tilt and cut McDermott's balls off...
Especially after watch the Titans Offense absolutely obliterate the Bill's D.

Well 2 ?, why did they not challenge the Beasley catch and run at the goal line, looked like he was in. And that run by Josh it looked like he got the 1st

You kick the FG, send it to OT, and at worst get out with a tie, way this game was going.

I get playing for the win, but they didn't need to go into the bye questioning themselves like this.

Beasley wasn't in and Josh didn't get the first on that play. It was clear on replay

At worst a tie? They had scored on us in their last 6 drives. Our franchise left tackle can't choke like that.

They're not questioning anything. This is a confident bunch. They'll bounce right back.

I like the call to go for it. Not sure it I would have snuck to the left right into the teeth of their big 3…

They had chances all game. Some poor play calling. Some poor execution. Go into the bye pissed off and come out strong.

Also, last year the loss going into the bye fueled the rest of their season. This loss do the same.

The Allan run, under 2 min. Should have come from upstairs. Or some can’t review down by contact bullpoop.

I can’t remember the Beasley play…

In other news, Carter Hutton has allowed, in two games, 14 goals on 37 shots this year.

Sure looked like the ball crossed the line before his knee hit, Josh was hard to see from my angle, it looked like he landed right on the marker.

I think he is a step from being out of the league.

Agreed. McDermott knew the D was gassed. If it goes to OT, we werent stopping them. No issues with the call. Dawkins got blown up and Josh slipped. We all thought they'd be 4-2 at this point anyway. No reason to panic.

The way their D-line dominated our O-line tonight, that was not the right call.
