Harbaugh has been to and won a Super Bowl. Winning goes a long way in these types of rankings. Not only has McDermott never been to a Super Bowl but he hasn't even won a road playoff game as the Bills coach. He is a good coach but fair or not he has to get to a Super Bowl and win one especially since 17 is considered one of the best QBs in the game.
I totally disagree, that was 13 years ago. He is ranking head coaches as of now, not 13 years ago. McDermott wasn't even a head coach during the 2012 season. Again, Harbaugh has not got past the Bills in the payoffs with a 3-time MVP QB that many consider to be better the Allen. And this clown ranks him #4 and McDermott 11th.

This clown lists John Harbaugh of the Baltimore Ravens #4, yet he continues to fall far shorter than McDermott in the playoffs while having a 3-time MVP quarterback. Lamar Jackson is consistently ranked as a better QB than Allen at PFF and many other sites (although many of us Bills fans would disagree). McDermott is 2-0 against Harbaugh and Jackson in the playoffs. Harbaughs has a dismal record of 3-5 in the playoffs since Jacksons arrival compared to McDermotts 7-6 with Josh Allen, yet he lists McDermott as 11th with the only reason being his playoff record, mainly losing to the Chiefs. How can he justify ranking Harbaugh as 4th when he can't get past either the Bills or the Chiefs in the playoffs and put McDermott is 11th when Mcdermott has clearly has out coached Harbough with a lesser ranked QB (according to PFF)?

In this thread which is more important: The Journey or the Destination
What's the average when not playing Pat Mahomes
I have posted this before. I will again.
Since 2019 the Bills have played 9 playoff games that were not against KC, allowing only 19.2 points per game and having a record of 7-2. Since 2019 the Bills have played 4 playoff games against KC allowing a whopping 35 Points per game and an 0-4 record. The problem with the Defense is against only 1 team. It's significant, over a 15.8 point game swing.

Statistically speaking, the Bills receiving group was at least top 10 in almost all receiving categories. Being that the Bills were more run heavy last year, and successful at it, there were far fewer attempts than most teams. They had 329 passing attempts placing them in 27th, with 3938 yards 17th in the league. But when they did pass the ball, they were more efficient than most teams. They averaged 12 yards per attempt, tied for 5th. They had 30 receiving TDs, tied for 7th. 56 20+ yard receptions, tied for 5th. 11 40+ yard receptions tied for 5th. Had a 55% chance of first down per reception, tied for 9th. Amazing stats for supposedly being the weakest group in the NFL.

Only one of those things worked. A blind man could see nobody could get open last year. The defense compresses our pass catchers because they can't take off the top. Drafting 2 pass catchers in the last 2 years that can't get open doesn't help. Sorry but Jeremy is 100% right on this. It is obvious to anyone who watches film what the gap is.

Was it during a tush push or a sneak? Nothing about the "tush push" itself gives someone a wrist injury.
It was a Tush push, I just watched the replay

This is laughable by MCD. He's arguing about player safety?? Meanwhile, zero injuries attributable to the tush push. McD couldn't figure out how to do it against KC, so he wants it banned.

McDermott is just bitter his team can’t figure how to run the play with a beast at QB.
If I remember correctly, Josh badly hurt his wrist on his throwing hand during a tush push in second Quarter in the AFCCG against the Chiefs.

Here's a breakdown of the top 4 players with the most passing yards since 2020
1- Patrick Mahomes 22,940
2 Josh Allen 21,271
3 Justin Herbert 21,093
4 Jared Goff 20,839
Looks like whatever they are doing is working, especially when you consider the weather in OP in December and January.

None of those metrics ACTUALLY tells you how good their defense is. Need epa / dvoa metrics
Nonsense, To win a game you need to score more points than the opponent. A defense that is second in the league with fewest points allowed since 2019 is going to win a lot of games with an average offence. And win many more with a stellar offence.

They regress considerably in the playoffs though. But we sit here and talk about the Bills like they’re a bad team besides Allen. It’s not the case at all.
The Bills have had a good overall team. Team being the key word. Individual players may be lacking but they play as a cohesive unit.Since 2019 the Bills have played 9 playoff games that were not against KC, allowing only 19.2 points per game and having a record of 7-2.

And a part of that is Marv not setting curfews like our opponents and letting Jim stay out all hours boozing and carousing with Berman.
I agree, they were more concerned about partying than winning. If I remember correctly, Marv did try to put a curfew on the 4th, but all the players joked how they got around it.

I know a lot of Bills fans look at Marv as one of the main reasons we never won one.
The combined stats for Jim Kelly's 4 games in the Super Bowls. A 56% Completion Rate, 2 TD's, 7 INT's and a whopping passer rating of 56.9. I would say it's hard to argue on why the Bills didn't win any of those games with Kelly's performance in those 4 games.

Even a top 15 defense might be enough if Allen keeps being Allen. Just not being complete walkover in the playoffs might be enough. The playoffs being the key word. Being a top 10 d in the regular season means nothing when there is no resistance in the playoffs. Even just to make the other offense have to work a bit to score, and not giving up 10 yards a play. I don't think the team needs to be a top five unit to win, assuming the offense does not collapse.
I agree, but IMO the defense is not as bad as everyone says. Since 2019 the Bills Defense is number 2 in points allowed per game, Baltimore is number 1.

Let me get this straight. The OP is quoting Monos, a man that was partially responsible for the drought. I couldn't give my season tickets away to the games I couldn't make it to starting in the month of November because his teams sucked so bad. During his tenor with the Bills his teams never made the playoffs and only had a winning record one year. He gets canned, In comes McDermott and makes the playoffs his first year with the low talent that this man was responsible for. Then, Bean and McDermott draft the most important person in Bills history. A selection that was criticized by numerous so-called experts including many on this board saying that they selected the wrong Josh. McDermott and Bean can do better, and I am sure that they would say the same. But quoting this looser on McDermotts and Beans failures is a joke.
Can't wait for preseason.
Go Bills!!!

It's not like the D is in shambles since 2019 like some of you are making it out to be. They just suck against the Chiefs and in the playoffs. Since 2019 the D has been solid as far as points allowed per game.
2019 #2 in league, allowing 16.2 Points Per Game.
2020 #16 in league, allowing 23.4 Points Per Game.
2021 #1 in league, allowing 17 Points Per Game.
2022 #2 in league, allowing 17.9 Points Per Game.
2023 #3 in league, allowing 18.3 Points Per Game.
2024 #11 in league, allowing 21.6 Points Per Game.
I think having 4 seasons in the last 6, amongst the top 3 defenses in the league is pretty darn good. But it is perplexing on why they allow KC to score over 30 points on them every time they meet in the playoffs.
Since 2019 the Bills have played 9 playoff games that were not against KC, allowing only 19.2 points per game and having a record of 7-2.
Since 2019 the Bills have played 4 playoff games against KC allowing a whopping 35 Points per game and an 0-4 record.
That just seems strange to me. Does Reid have a spy in the locker room and only uses him in the playoffs? Is McDermott too predictable against his old teacher? Or is the old rumor about the Ralph being built on an ancient Indian burial ground true and the Chiefs will always get the best of us in the playoffs?
Von Miller is a disappointment, Bean swung at the fence and missed. That along with some key injuries have hurt the D.
Changes do need to be made, but IMO they are not far off from getting back in the top 3, as long as Milano can stay healthy.
As always...Go Bills!!!!

For the last 5 years there were 13 playoff games for the bills, the D has given up an average of 21.5 points a game and the O has scored an average of 26 points a game.
For the last 5 years, KC has played 15 playoff games. The D has given up an average of 23.1 points per game and the O has scored an average of 27.6 points.

What an awful disappointment of a game. I see the board is already flooded with 'coaching failure' takes. I don't recall a decision from McD that I really had a problem with. While I have beef with Kromer, Brady and Babich, this loss is on the players. The list of guys who did not bring their best is a long one.
Biggest one is obviously Kincaid for the drop and an overall lack of physicality. He better tackle the offseason like his career depends on it because he had a brutal year.
Right behind him on the disappointment list are the OL and Josh. The people who carried us all season played C+/B- games when it mattered most. Bad decisions all over the place and OL getting physically dominated. The short yardage game was horrendous. Josh got it together enough to keep them in it but he was far from his MVP best.
Groot, where are you? Spent half the game on the ground. At this point, I'm no longer in favor of extending him. Try and trade for Crosby or Garrett or another difference maker.
Taron Johnson's play hasn't matched his reputation for the last half of the year. No positive impact.
Bernard took a huge step back this year. He had games last year with more impact than he had all season. He was invisible all night, with the exception of being 3 steps behind on the clinching pass.
We had a giant black hole at safety. Bye Demar. Bishop I thought flashed a bit but has a long way to go. I'm not sure how he and Rapp really work as a duo.
You could add about a dozen more guys who were MIA but less obvious. While the coaching wasn't great, the players on the field came up small in the big game.
Exactly, JA was not himself. especially at the beginning of the game, I was having flashbacks of the old JA of 2018 and 2019 and throwing the ball in triple coverage. Cook played well, averaging 6.5 yards a carry. They should have handed it to Cook more.
McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.
