I would’ve preferred a walk off TD or at the very least a short FG which is where it was headed until coach shut it down. Bills D was gassed, crowd was fired up and Stafford was primed to keep pushing it.

Two things:
1. Why are we even snapping the ball once the Bills move to this stacked setup?!!
Six guys bunched up there against our four? Trouble
2. Isn’t Rousou lined up offside? Or at least the neutral zone??

Yes, and I’ll have you know he will be coached by the guy kicked to the curb by the Brownstains.
Only positive is that McVay agrees with you. McVay was beating himself up in the presser about how horribly conservative his 3rd down call was.
IMO-- McVay is "sometimes" appropriately aggressive. Yes, yesterday he was too conservative and it bit him in the ass. But let's not forget all the dozens of times McVay has gone for it and won.
For example-- loved that 4th down rushing call to Kupp in SB 56. We were at our own 30 yard line with over 5 minutes left, and McVay decides to go for it. Great call. And we all know there are dozens of other examples.
Bottom line-- McVay is a stats guy and he trusts the analytics. But he needs to learn to trust his guts more often about when to go for the knockout blow.
Yes. I've been looking for anyone else to bring this up, he not only lined up offside, he jumped early before the snap.
Bottom line, we still should have, but didn't, block him.
Ok I guess. Technically McVay stopped the offense. Then the ST unit stopped themselves.
Shutting Stafford(and Puka) down when he did was the biggest blunder as far as Im concerned. I mean, we know the ST unit stinks.
I know Im beating a dead horse here btw
Yeah, good post but I don’t really equate the example given and the situation Monday night in OT.
You’re in the Super Bowl and losing in the 4th qtr, that demands aggression.
McVay’s conservative nature rears its head regularly in a few situations these days.
1) Late in the first half with possession of the ball
2) When he gets up by 2 or 3 scores(at any point during the gm)
3) In the second half with a lead
4) On 3rd and longs in non-critical drives we get the give up hand off
5) And now, apparently when tied and driving (successfully) for the winning TD on a tired defense.
He’s only aggressive when losing on the scoreboard
Well at least coach has Mevis for his whipping boy.
I'm not calling McVay a disease but he is definitely a symptom of a problem.
Seriously. How many games did we lose last year because of special teams? Including a playoff game that kept us out of the super bowl.
And what did he do to fix that problem?
Picked up one backup linebacker who did pretty good on special teams?
I don't care if they have to get a specialist in to stop returns.
One to work with the kickers.
And one to teach returns.
There's no monetary limit they can put on how many coaches you bring in.
We are 2-3 which means we're three games behind San Francisco.
I don't know what kind of blinking red light has to go off for McVay to wake up but I'm still not sure it has.
Mevis stunk up the last two games.
Xavier was a start and I think this was the second natural thing that had to be done.
Rotate through the kickers until we get one that can kick one more than 45 yds.
You're like a psychic.
How did you know I got my grandma high a few minutes ago.
So since the game I was thinking the fumble turned out to be a bad thing. It brought out all of McVays faults. If they go and score or kick a field goal McVay would have kicked into high gear all the way to a TD and then hopefully a 2point conversion. It's pretty fucked up.
