    I’ve seen this posted over and over again in the last few days, and yes, it seemed *likely* that the Chiefs would have marched down the fold and gotten a game winning FG, BUT….there are no guarantees. It certainly wasn’t an absolute, and anything could have happened (INT, strip sack, fumble, defense holds and they punt & Bills get ball and get GW FG).

    Sure, anything could happen. But its far more likely Mahomes puts together a drive and we lose.

    If McDermott were fired, would anyone hire him as HC?  I would imagine the Panthers might give him a look, but I can’t think of anyone else.

    He would hired as a HC in 2024, help that team improve while giving the Bills the chance to reach the next level

    I was fine at kickoff with McD too...but honestly, just think this team may need some new blood and new life to break through the mental lapses where we lose late and close games.

     

     

    Brady is the OC - How is that on McD?  This comment doesn't make sense to me.

     

     

    Stupid call, but aggressive which is what everyone always say they want from him while they ignore he is actually one of the most aggressive coaches in the NFL.

     

     

    Play it safe?  Again, Brady calls the O and more importantly how is a 73 yard bomb to Diggs playing it safe?  How is a 29 yard pass to the endzone for Shakir playing it safe?  Where did he play safe for a FG?  I don't get this comment at all, its like the polar opposite of what actually happened.  Again, not trying to defend McD, just really not understanding the reasons you are giving here.  

     

    And I am not even trying to defend McD as I would take BB, Harbaugh or Vrabel today if they were ready to come here too.  But just don't get some of these complaints above in relation to McD yesterday outside maybe the stupid punt fake.

    People just like to use buzzwords to make their point. Agressiveness/Playing it Safe isnt why McDermott has to go, the inability to win compete in a conference championship because of roster construction, terrible real time decisions and the inability to make adjustments is why we need a new voice & new direction

    Dumb.  It takes 2 parties to get a signed deal.  2.

     

    In case you missed it the first time:  not 1, but 2.

    And the player wanted to come here, just remember Harty has a bigger cap hit than Hopkins

    Evidently the six game winning streak when our offense couldn't score enough points so our D and special teams helped are long forgotten... if we make that FG and win the game all of this is moot. People are acting like the Chiefs kicked our as*es and it's ridiculous.

    If we kick the FG, we still lose

    Silly attitude imo, 

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    Yes it is, 17 year drought was not, how soon do many forget.

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    So you are going to be happy when we win 5 straight AFC East titles and lose in the divisional round for the 4th year in a row or extremely frustrated

    Bwahahahahaha, put on your big boy pants and be happy we have a team that isn’t picking in the top five draft positions every year, 😁👍

     

    GO BILLS!!!

    Put yours on and demand better. Losing in the divsional round every year isn’t a successful season

    Tell me the obvious coaching blunder that led directly to this loss? If Stef, Trent and/or Bass do their job, you're not posting this poll, period. I thought the gameplan was as sound as it could be given the walking wounded on our D. This is the one year we have to give McD a pass--unless he was going to be able to suit up himself for the D, he did what he could, imho. We do need to desperately address WR in the offseason fwiw.  

    Didnt we give him a pass last year because of Hamlin? Its always something until its nothing

    Hinder? People need to focus. Why do people think hitting the easy button and firing the head coach will magically help us beat a dynasty team like KC?

     

    It’s about the players. They come up short in the big moments vs KC. Not Allen, he steps up. It’s the other guys. They have to find someone other than Allen that steps up in the playoffs consistently. 

    Its not magically going to make us champions, but we have gotten as far as we can with McDermott. Enough is enough and its time for a change

  9. Our roster is in pretty good shape buy we do need a new kicker & punter, possibly up to 4 new safties and 3 more WRs. Pass rusher will be a priority if we dont resign AJE and/Floyd.

    Yes McDermott made Bass 25% in the playoffs.   Think about that 25% has a kicker ever had a worse playoffs?

     

    And still it's McDermott...God people.

    Whose decision is it to keep Bass & still have confidence in him

    Every player on this team with a ring (there's like five total) was not a Bill until this season, except Miller. He obviously is the only one who was Super Bowl MVP. Scratching him so we can dress guys like Harty seems insane to me, but I'm not the one watching them in practice either. 

    Harty & Sherfield also suck but they play offense & special teams. Its great Miller has a Super Bowl MVP, several people have earned that honor and most are retired.

    Sitting Miller in what is likely the biggest game in Bills regular season history would be a bad move. If anything, he provides a calming veteran presence for a team that is notorious for getting a little bewildered during stressful moments.

    Have you watched any games this year? This team is loaded with “veteran presence” and he does NOTHING on the field

    It's felt this way the past three seasons. They just always seem mentally exhausted. Tons of games where they have no spark, nothing goes smoothly, players constantly looking beleaguered and embattled...it's weird, right? I can't put my finger on it, but there has been something off mentally with them for a long time.

     

    My gut says it's coaching, but the players supposedly like McDermott & Co.

    It is on coaching. I’m sure the players love McDermott, he seems like a genuine good guy, but is he championship caliber?

    Agree 100%.  Bean & McD completely screwed up the plans for Allen in 2018.  To their credit they shook the cobwebs off and fired those two horrible WR's (Bengiman & Holmes) and brought in veteran help for Allen.  But the credit for Allen not busting goes to DaBoll and Allen himself. 

    I couldn't agree more. We were in a tough spot with the salary cap, but there was no help for Allen at the start of the season.

    1 hour ago, CincyBillsFan said:

    I disagree.  Looking at how McD & Bean handled Allen his rookie year is an insight into how the Bills have handled him and the offense over the last 6 seasons.  My and other peoples arguments about why we need to move on from McD have been twofold:

     

    *  As a defensive coach McD will commit more resources to the defense then to the offense. And he will always be more comfortable with defensive players and schemes then offensive players and schemes starting with the QB.

     

    *  Both Bean & McD are much less effective at judging offensive talent then they are defensive talent.

     

    I truly hope I'm wrong and McD/Bean can find a resolution to this quandary.  But until we make a Super Bowl with the current coaching/management group I remain skeptical.  The idea that teams with elite caliber QB's should have offense minded coaching is compelling to me.

     

     

     

     

    Who thought it was a good idea to bring in Harty & Sherfield?

  15. Huge mistake by McDermott & Beane. If they didn't sign Derek Anderson & Matt Barkley mid-season, we wouldn't have had any fire McDermott threats in 2023 because he would have been long gone & Allen would have busted.
