I'm always happy about a win, but let's be realistic: this game was perhaps the worst coaching job all season. If we were facing Tyrod Taylor (or even Matt Cassel) instead of E.J. Manuel, this one's a loss, and it all goes back to a few key coaching decisions:

 

1. Benching House in favor of Gratz, who rewarded that faith by giving up a game-leading TD and committing pass interference on the 2 pt. attempt.

2. Running Gerhart and Alualu instead of Yeldon (shades of the idiotic pitch to Grant)

3. Kind of related to 2, going for it on fourth and goal after Gerhart had been stuffed on the first three plays rather than taking the field goal

 

There were other coaching blunders, but man, those first two in particular were killers and should have cost us the game. I mean, what do they do at that corner spot next week? Let Gratz look like an idiot again? Plug House back in? Start McCray? Nah, I'm pretty sure Bradley would go to Marshall over McCray at this point. Why? Who knows!
