So what is the answer???
Teach your great coach how to make simple clock management decisions?
Yeah, I mean that seems simpler than firing McD and rebuilding the entire team culture from the ground up. Or maybe you fire Brady if he's the one making these terrible calls, but I just don't think firing McDermott will in any way result in better outcomes for the Bills.

We may have won the game with Trubisky
That's it, you're going to the blue tent.

The ball probably should have been thrown over the left shoulder instead, but Hollins looked very amateur in how he adjusted. He took a weird path and wound up at bad angle.

I believe he did a great job of pulling all the pieces together for a championship in the previous few years. That it didn't work out is not his fault at all. I also believe he did the best he could with the current situation, which was the result of going all in. And I don't think he should fire McDermott, but HC and OC need to come to Jesus and figure out how to manage the clock in crunch time.
Bottom line, Beane has built a perennial contender and resilient team around a franchise QB, and has done so without a lot of overpriced superstars. The results on the field are not his fault, and I don't think firing McD fixes it, ether.

That was a terrible call to begin with, but multiple whiffs by O linemen made things even worse. If anyone had actually blocked their assignment, Josh would have been right back in the pocket instead of running for his life to his left.

What a great investment.

Kicker seems like an urgent need right now. Can't expect to win a lot of close games with a mediocre foot.

What happened to our secondary?

This is quite the regression to the mean.

It's beginning to look like the balance of power in the NFL is shifting to the NFC.

Wow, I didn't realize Poona Ford was starting for the Chargers. He could barely get on the field for the Bills last year.
-
I thought Rodgers and an impressive roster might actually make the Jests division contenders this year. Not thinking that anymore. The Broncos look terrible, and yet somehow they are creaming the Jets.

Rasul is due for an impact game. Lamar is due to throw multiple picks, and/or get destroyed on a chunk run when he should have slid instead.

Thanks to that game, I got the best night of sleep I've had all week. It was nice to wake up in a world where the Giants and Cowboys both suck out loud.

Bills 32
Ravens 29
Going to be the toughest test for the D so far, but despite having Lamar and Henry, it's not like the Ravens offense are hanging 50 on everyone.

I always associate this song with the dawn of modern Hipsterdom. I guess it makes sense, since the Bills wear skinny pants on game day...

Gotta have at least one championship before we can start talking about changing of the guard. Come on.

McDermott and co. have been amazing at building a confident, disciplined team that communicates well and can execute a sensible game plan.
The real test will be how they manage the big games strategically, in real time. This has been the Achilles heal of this regime all along.

It's fun to see Burrow's Bungals getting kicked around, but I wouldn't count them out just yet. They have shown they can right their ship before. It's a long season.
-
One more series for Josh just to be safe, then methinks it’s Trubisky time.

Dallas and Miami are the only teams that I could absolutely never root for under any circumstances.
Lately, Cincy is on my list because Burrow is a massive doosh. This has countered the empathy I once felt for their fan base.
Otherwise: Unless they are playing the aforementioned three teams, I will be rooting against:
- the Pats - For their fan base, to be clear. Not for their success, which I begrudgingly respected.
- The Jets - Because they are pathetic downstate trashmongers.
- The Jags - Because Jacksonville.
- Carolina - A generic team from a soulless city.
- Ravens - Because of their origin story (and cheesy logo), I can never consider them a legitimate NFL franchise.
After that, it's mostly cold indifference, with a handful teams I have a soft spot for.
