Not so sure about this take. Sad part is the sport is also a business and business be gooooood. McD ain't going anywhere anytime soon.

I'm curious: How many Bills playoff losses do most Bills fans think the Bills "should have" won? For me, I think it's two. The 13 seconds game and the 2024 AFCCG. Every other playoff exit was justified, in my opinion. Meaning I feel the Bills simply weren't as good as the other team and/or didn't "deserve" to win. But that's at least one, and potentially two Super Bowl appearances right there. Fumbling away one or two Super Bowl opportunities is a serious issue. Is two the consensus for number of playoff losses the Bills should've won?

The only way he loses his job in the immediate future (2ish seasons) is if he and Allen have some kind of major falling out. I can't see any other realistic situation where he's replaced. Maybe if he went on another 9/11 tirade in the middle of a press conference or something. I don't even really love McD as a coach but I don't Pegula doing anything bold.

I know Pegula won't do it but this was finally the year where I'm on board with firing McDermott if the offense is great while the defense melts in a playoff loss again. The sample size is big enough now. The last five playoff losses Mahomes and Burrow shredded this defense and the offense was superb in at least three of those five games. Fair or not, he's a former defensive coordinator and he's been out coached on the offensive side of the ball by Reid at least three of the four losses. That Divisional game in '24 where they were picking on AJ Klein I'll forgive for injuries. I guess the question then becomes who? I'd prefer someone with a background in offense. Do we promote Brady if he has another strong year to ensure Allen has the same system the next few years? Do we look for an offensive minded former head coach? An up and coming offensive coordinator from another team? The college ranks? Do we dare go the defensive route like Dan Quinn? I guess you don't fire him unless you already know who you're going to hire imo.

"Shut still". Still meaning days, if not weeks. That would be mad annoying only having sight out of one eye for a week, don't you think? How do get depth perception with one eye?

Who is the Bills hated division rival?

There is no more secure coach in the NFL than McDermott. Pegula is not firing him.

If it's good, let it roll 🤙

Does the rest of the post matter when the first sentence misses this badly? Regardless of what side you're on with such an outcome, I would bet my life he will not get fired even if he loses in the wild card round.

It was illegal to allow over 2 MILLION people from a different country across the border illegally with out papers or a visa to but that didn't make a S**T to you but you use to say that was okay so you get the F over it whiny little hypocrite B**ch . Just because they are taking those people off the census that your guy allowed to come into the country illegally and you don't like it now because it will be the way it should have been in the first place if your guy did things by the laws in place screw you !!

If he doesn’t get to the Super Biwl this year he will get fired. People can not like it all they want but it’s the reality. You can’t keep doing the same things over and over again and keep getting the same result and think things will change. You have to do something different eventually. They aren’t going to get rid of Josh obviously so they will go with a different head coach. It happens all the time in sports to good coaches when they keep taking their teams far but never get over the hump, they let the coach go eventually and hire someone else they feel will get them over that hump. Mcdermott has been a great coach in most aspects but if there is same thing happens in the playoffs this year then they will need to make a change somewhere and they have already tried multiple OC’s and DC’s now. So he is the next in line. No matter how good you do if you don’t get where you need to get to at some point every one needs a new change of scenery and to try something different. You can’t keep getting to the ACF championship and losing and not doing something different. Josh Allen is the only QB in history to win 7 playoff games and NOT play in a Super Bowl. Mcdermott and Chuck Knox are the only 2 head coaches to win 7 playoff games and not play in a Super Bowl. Also no head coaching and QB duo has ever not won a Super Bowl with in the first 5 years playing and coaching together ever. So the only people not liking this or putting a red X on peoples takes are people who don’t know sports or football.

I helped with those goal posts!

I want a SB as much as anyone and think they have a great chance at getting over the hump this year. To those that want McDermott fired due to his lack of success in the playoffs against KC, I think people tend to overlook the fact that Mahomes and Reid are probably the 2nd best coach / QB tandem in NFL history. Is there anyone that would argue the fact that Buffalo would have multiple SB appearances in recent years if they played in the NFC?

I miss Rex Ryan's truck. If Sean McDermott can't afford one then quit.

Yeah I think so

This is what drives me crazy. Even as a viewer, I can feel the team & coaching getting tighter as games go along. The Ravens last year was the perfect example - that shouldn't have been that close. We were controlling that game. On that last drive, we went complete prevent, and they got downfield in a jiffy. But I agree he's good for our culture, and would even say that he's good at week to week gameplans. He can be a good HC. The one thing I wish he would do is give any DC we have full reign - let the DC come up w/ his own schemes and strategy, and let the DC make their own calls during the game.

Dolphins players are fighting each other at a joint practice with the Bears.

Somebody talk to the Chain Gang and press them on why Buffalo Bills are always short on 3rd and inches/4th and inches when we face Kansas City Chiefs in the playoffs. McDermott should do that.

If Andy Reid wanted to coach the Bills, I'd be onboard. But I tend to believe the slam dunk HC candidates are all gainfully employed already so we'd have to roll the dice on an unproven OC, DC or a college coach. Maybe they'd be great and maybe we'd waste the second half of Josh's career. Personally, I wouldn't want the risk. With 32 teams in the NFL, there's a 3% chance of any given team wins the SB. I think the McD/Josh combo elevates that to 10% or so. Nobody will ever name a trophy after McDermott but he's better than the average NFL coach. And I do believe if we give him enough shots, he'll get us a Lombardi.

Again? My reply is redundant, but so is the topic. For perspective: Super Bowl winning NFL coaches still active: McVay (8 seasons), Tomlin (18 seasons), Harbaugh (17 seasons), Carroll(18 seasons), Sirianni (4 seasons), Sean Payton (17 seasons) Andy Reid was a head coach for around 20 seasons before finally winning it. Now has 3 of past 5 Super Bowl wins. Previously Mike McCarthy had 18 seasons as head coach with a single Super Bowl win. Total seasons by these respected head coaches : (+/-)125, Total Superbowl wins: 11 It's not easy to make it to the Super Bowl, and even harder to win it. Why would anyone with a lick of sense entertain the idea of dismissing the most successful coach (winning percentage) in team history? What guarantee is there that his replacement would get there? I suspect some of the comments are from the spoiled instant gratification generation who feel entitled for their dreams and desires always being realized. Tough world. p.s. - McDermott ain't going anywhere until he decides to move on.

Ditto 100% But watch out... a lot of people on here (ahem, Thurman) try to tell you Cook is not that valuable to us. They think Benford is better and more value LOL. Without Cook, we will struggle to make the playoffs. He is that important. Just wait and see.

@Simon Are we allowed to play Hip-hawp with cussing? This new Juicy J goes hard AF, ya dig?
