Being a regular season loss, especially one that doesn’t individually derail the Bills from the playoffs, this can’t be viewed as McDermott’s worst defeat. However, we may look back and see this as a day of reckoning.
- The Bills have a pattern of stumbling mid season, then pulling it together after the bye. We have passed the bye, and yesterday looked completely lost.
- Josh also has a pattern of gaining effectiveness and aggressiveness in November. As of November 10, this season’s gain has not yet begun - again, he looked completely lost.
For the first time in six years, it is hard for me to see where the Bills are either growing or maintaining. I am as optimistic a fan as you’ll find and I hope like hell that I’m wrong. But, the Bills are showing no answers and yesterday may mark the beginning of the decline.
