    Nope that's not what I mean. That's the obvious.

     

    Look at the articles written this week by the "independent" local guys. They are mostly all supportive of McDermott right now. 

     

    By the "rest of Buffalo" you mean the podcasts and fans then, yes you would be correct.

    Find me one article that's supportive of McDermott

    The devil, as always is in the details. Notice he says he thinks, not he's hearing. In other words, it's what he would do and it sets him up for next season very well to keep scorching McDermott should the Bills keep him. Nothing to do with connections.

     

    IMO, the people to watch right now are the local guys.Watch their tone when it comes to McDermott over the next few weeks. It's almost like some get their talking points directly from the Bills. Like this week, many of the local guys are already floating excuses out there saying McDermott has done a solid job but the injuries have mounted and there's nothing he can do. It's almost like they are testing the waters to see what fans will take as an excuse.

     

    An example of this is early this season. Right after the Miami game local media was full praise and love for Ken Dorsey. They had put up 38, 37 and 48 over the last 3 games. Fast forward just 2 weeks and they are asking McDermott if Dorsey should have play calling duties removed. And we saw where that led. 

    If by local guys you the propaganda on “One Bills Drive. That team-run show is the only place where he is defended, the rest of the Buffalo wants him gone

    McDermott's Two Minute Defense This Year vs Past Seasons

    McDermott seemed different in the weekly media sessions this week.  He seemed almost apologetic at times.  I'm sure he knows he is letting the team down as much as anyone.  

    He knows he's a dead man walking. Even if we go 5-0; we aren't making the playoffs. He had his opportunity with a generational QB and he blew it. You give Dick Jauron, Josh Allen at QB and he's not missing the playoffs

    How many teams need to miss the bus for that to happen, though?

    Don't forgot about Indy. If you play with ESPN Machine, we are going to need a lot of upsets to go our way. We need a lot more to happen than most think.

    this is a list of "big" wins in mediocre moments.  Nothing was "on the line" in most of these games, and divisional playoff win against the depleted Pats, really?  The Colts game we nearly gave away before Rivers made mistakes.

    And in all those games who shined the brightest among the players?  As I recall Allen was formidable in those games.

     

     

    I had hoped to start my day on a positive note, but instead, I unintentionally ended up pointing out that McDermott has not significantly outcoached anyone in the past seven years. Even when attempting to highlight his successes, it seems to be overshadowed by the fact that Allen played exceptionally well in that game.

    I'll take it up a notch.  Number 12.  

     

    Three or More Clubs

    (Note: If two clubs remain tied after one-or-more clubs are eliminated during any step, tiebreaker restarts at

     

    1. Step 1 of two-club format. If three clubs remain tied after a fourth club is eliminated during any step, tiebreaker restarts at Step 2 of three-club format.)

    Apply division tiebreaker to eliminate all but the highest ranked club in each division prior to proceeding to step 2. The original seeding within a division upon application of the division tiebreaker remains the same for all subsequent applications of the procedure that are necessary to identify the two Wild-Card participants.

    2. Head-to-head sweep. (Applicable only if one club has defeated each of the others or if one club has lost to each of the others.)

    3. Best won-lost-tied percentage in games played within the conference.

    4. Best won-lost-tied percentage in common games, minimum of four.

    5. Strength of victory in all games.

    6. Strength of schedule in all games.

    7. Best combined ranking among conference teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.

    8. Best combined ranking among all teams in points scored and points allowed in all games.

    9. Best net points in conference games.

    10. Best net points in all games.

    11. Best net touchdowns in all games.

    12. Coin toss

    It wouldn't even come down to a coin toss. Have you played around with the ESPN Playoff Machine? It's harder to find scenarios where they make it based on upcoming matchups. I know anything can happen, but we are going to need some help, we won't get or deserve.

    Mt. Rushmore should be reserved for Super Bowl victories, or at the very least, Conference Championship victories. Anything else should just be a plaque in the park.

    There was a threat about a Mt Rushnkre for our tragic losses under McDermott, so I wanted to highlight some memorable wins.

    Think the fact he's still been battling skin cancer throughout is a much bigger victory.  Along with trashing my critiques of him. It's a rough year sure but we shouldn't be riding him as we don't know.  

    My girlfriend and her dad get skin cancer often; it's scary because of “cancer” but the procedure is quicker than most dentist visits.

    This has to be first. As for regular season, the Chiefs in 2021 and 2022, the Patriots 2nd game in 2021 after we lost (was basically for the division). We could give him some credit for Patriots 2021. I think the Dallas Thanksgiving game could go on here. If we stretch thing maybe the Baltimore game last year or Thanksgiving game in Detroit.

     

    This is probably more telling than even the losses.  We have no signature playoff wins outside that Baltimore game and no more than a couple regular season wins per year you would hang your hat on.  We are really good at beating the crap out of bad teams and even that has diminished this year.  

    Oh, we have way more bad losses than good wins, which is why he’s got to go, but we did have some big wins that we haven’t see since Flutie beat Jacksonville

    I'd put the Colts playoff game up there for one of the best Bills/Allen victories, but not McDermott's. 

     

    McD's defense got shredded. We were the 1st team in NFL history to allow 450+ yards, force no turnovers, and win a game. The win was a combination of unforced errors by the Colts (failed 4th down at end of the 1st half, 33 yard missed FG in 3rd Q) and phenomenal play by Allen/Davis (those toe taps at the end of the 1st half). 

     

     

    D did hold strong at the end of the game to win; probably the last time that happened. Rivers scores on that drive everytime in 2023.

    McDermott has run his course, and unless we make a Super Bowl run, his time here is over. But I wanted to remember our good times in the last few years, so let’s talk about some critical victories since we won’t see anymore in his tenure.

     

    1) Cowboys Thanksgiving game (We arrived)

    2) Perfect game vs Patriots WC (Dominating Belichick in a playoff game)

    3) Indy playoff game (first playoff victory in forever)

    4)Clinching the Division against Denver (the division was finally ours

     

    @Steelers on SNF, where we used Renagade against them to clinch a playoff spot, deserves an honorable mention.

    1) 13 Seconds (end of the process)

    2) Wind Game (how do you stay in Nickle the whole game?)

    3) No Show in the Snow (death of the culture)

    4) Philly Shitsteak (recently biased)

     

    These games stood out to me as games we would have won without coaching blunders. Josh has made his share of mistakes (hero ball in Houston, fumbling a TD away against Minny, slipping against the Titans), so I left those out since a debate could be had about those games.
