What gives me hope is the defense is starting to look legit. I've seen some better play from the secondary. Yesterday, the run defense held up pretty good. Nice to see some turnovers in our favor too. I personally think a Josh Allen lead offense will get the job done but how deep into the playoffs we go, it's going to come down to defense. Fingers crossed.

He did wave the white flag and that was embarrassing if you are a Steelers fan.

If this is what retirement looks like, I hope I work till 100. Wow.

Yeah I think people still think this is that team that can put up 28 on anybody in the first half if they are focused. It's not a matter of not being fired up it's a matter of not having the personnel to play balanced offensively. The impact of running the ball relentlessly like they have to usually isn't going to show up until the second half. Like it or not this is the team they have become. The "formula" isn't throwing the ball around like Joe Marino and company were pushing after that Bucs win. The formula is run the ball and don't turn it over and then have Josh Allen make the few plays with his feet that differentiate you from the typical Jauron Ball unit.

No arguments by me. This was mostly a half-joking response to the other thread. Again, agreed. McD would be snapped up by some bottom-dweller and he would likely return them to relevancy. That's kinda the point tho. That is his sweet spot. Not winning championships. As the saying goes "McDermott is the type of coach that can get a 3-14 team to the Wild Card. And the type of HC that will take a 14-3 team to the Wild Card"

I mentioned this before, but I wonder if Kim were healthy would Sean and Brandon still have jobs. She was the driving force behind buying the Bills. She is a die-hard Bills fan more so than Terry who was more of a hockey guy. I don't think these playoff losses and falling short every year with 17 would sit well with her.

Eberflus and saleh were absolute stud coordinators, as was McDaniel. Why are you so sure we would hire the next Ben Johnson? you really want to turn the entire organization over to a guy like Kingsbury, who i expect will be one of the hottest coaches this cycle? why would he suddenly succeed?

The Bills' last drive was something else. They took possession on their 9 with 10:11 to play. Held the ball for 9+ minutes before kicking the field goal. Curiously, Tomlin never took a timeout during that drive to try to preserve clock. It's like he waved a white flag.

True but they also benefited by a great draft position in consecutive years and that Watson trade that yeld them great picks also.

Thanks Josh, there goes his Lady Byng trophy out the window.

not a McD apologist - hardly at all. wanted him gone after 13 seconds. but McD isn't going anywhere unless we completely flop. the Sabres will clean house and Terry having to clean two houses is just far fetched.

Totally agree. It was awesome on every level. 2 points: 1. I recall Bishop coming up limping late in the game. It’ll be worth watchin to see if he pops on the injury report on Wednesday. 2. I loved the run heavy game plan, especially in the conditions yesterday. But he needs to be able to adjust and switch up the game plan better during a game. Because teams WILL be able to contain the running game. It’s happened this season. So for as good as he was this week, let’s see if he can keep it going with a more creative passing attack, as well.

Johnson, Payton, Jim Harbaugh, Mike Vrabel. All should have been considered. Agreed that there isnt any big name left right now. Best we could do is probably Clint Kubiak, which would be a similar risk as Ben Johnson.

Yeah, right.

I've been critical of him but as far as I'm concerned he gets a statue the moment they win a Super Bowl.

Kind of, we all know stats don´t tell the whole story. When we had big leads he played not to lose and that hurted us, 13 seconds and vs Bengals. Not bad defense but too conservative with the lead.

Yeah, and to be clear, I almost dont fault Terry. It's waaaayy easier for us fans to sit here and yell about firing people and rebuilding the entire organization. It's much different to actually do it. And from an Owner's Perspective, I'd rather have an owner that errs to a Steelers/Ravens mindset rather than a Jets/Cowboys mindset. However, I am a fan and not an owner, and I've seen enough!

Ok the framing of the poll is terrible Look, I am plenty critical of McDermott. I think his welcome is wearing thin. If he's gone because the Pegulas think we need a new approach to get us over the hump I will not shed any tears. But he would absolutely be snapped up by some team in some capacity if he was fired. He can get an average defense out of practice squad parts. Do you know who had a reputation for bad time management? Andy Reid. Eagles fans would not shut up about it as his tenure ended and he didn't have the best rep with Alex Smith. But he got the rings so no one cares.

The game did not go well for him and Queen

Very nice post. Good breakdown of more than the box score will show.

Ben Johnson is the only Head Coach Hire in the past 5 years I'd take over Sean. Maybe Sean Payton, however I'm not sure Allen and his scheme would mesh incredibly well. Allen winning his MVP saved McD's seat last year, and frankly cost them a shot at Johnson. It's the name of the game. I dont see any great candidates out there right now, so I dont think I'd be thrilled to move on from Sean.

Also, Beane wanted a vet WR to help with the young Josh Allen. No one know how a rookie would have worked with Josh.

For as much as the fanbase critiques Brady's playcalling this season this was a masterfully simple gameplan that was executed well. It got the Bills out of there with a win and from what I understand no major injuries other than Bosa who had what was at worst a mild hamstring pull (and most likely was just cautionary pulling a guy with some tightness in a late game that was in control). The Bills needed a dominant win esp from the defense and they got just that.

Replace anti semites with MAGAs and you have a good description of b man and nc. Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. Jean-Paul Sartre

The Pegula stuff is speculation, obviously, but I have seen several Bills fans here and elsewhere say that they are happy with just making the playoffs and having a shot each year. No real desire to try to win the Super Bowl because they are "enjoying the ride" of having a good team.
