My friend at work today told me that he thinks the Bills should have kicked the FG that would of made it 17-16 and then put the D back out there. What do you guys think?
kick the FG?

Re: kick the FG?
I wasn't happy with the coaching yesterday but I liked that call. There was no guarantee we would get the ball back.
And the announcer who said we should kick the FG and go for an onside kick is a moron (Wilcots I think). The chances of recovering an onside kick are far worse than converting the 4th down.

Re: kick the FG?
Catch-22. If they score a TD...brilliant. If they kick the three, the defense holds, and get shot at another three to win...brilliant. Any combination of the above that fails? Stupidity. Coaches make their rep on fourth downs, game-deciding decisions on the backs of the execution of the players.YardRat Wall of Fame

Re: kick the FG?
You have to make that decision on first down. If you are going to go for it on 4th, then the whole playbook is in play, including runs, and you should still work short if its there. If you are going to kick, then throw for the first three times.

Given the final choice I'd say let them live or die on merit and roll the bones on going for it. At the very least, it gives Marrone a chance to say "well, I believed in you" in the locker room after the game before putting his hands in his pockets and walking away to motivate them to not hurt his feelings for believing in them anymore.

Re: kick the FG?
Wilcots is, in general, a moron. His commentary and analysis is terrible.
You 100% do NOT go for the FG there. Going for the TD is clearly the correct play."'Clean up your room.', 'Stand up straight.', 'Pick up your feet.', 'Take it like a man.', 'Be nice to your sister.', 'Don't mix beer and wine, ever.'. Oh yeah, 'Don't drive on the railroad track.'"
"Eh, Phil. That's one I happen to agree with."
