appoo

yea, but its a terrible match up for the Bills. If the Cowboys play reasonably well on offense no amount of scheming from McDermott is gonna keep that offense from 30+

Now if the Chiefs and their fans could please STFU about this that'd be great. You do the check with the line judge from like Midget football and on and Toney just didn't. That is 100% on him

Ita Josh Allen. You expect him to run it or check it down in those situations. Not try <35% probable completions. This was execution, though yea I would have run it once to get it to the otherside of 2 minutes on first

Something very wrong with Diggs. His route tree is extremely limited and he’s not as quick as he was

Somehow the chiefs have managed to put together one of the best defenses in the league. They were winning battles up front all day and had quality coverage behind it. I think the OC could have leaned on the run game a bit more, but the struggles were understandable

Ha them scoring like that actually had me feeling better about the Bills chances of winning

Can someone remind me how many points SEAN MCDERMOTT’S DEFENSE held Patrick Mahomes to?

Some of you people don’t deserve to enjoy this.

And so many in Bills mafia don’t deserve to enjoy it

Hope to never see this crap again. Go Bills. Go McDermott.

Sean McDermott just said go ***** yourself to hell. Except he’s too nice to say it so I’ll say it for him

So to be clear one can win 46 games and 4 playoff wins over 4 years, and should be fired for going 8-9 and missing the playoffs in an injury riddled season? For that you want to risk having the next Frank Reich or even Ron Rivera?

McDermott has won 65% of his games!!!!!! You’re acting like he’s got a losing record

To be clear, the Bills have lost 6, 3, 6, 3 games the last 4 seasons. You can not claim a pattern of losing when you win 10, 13, 10, and 13 games. This season is clearly an anomaly and if your ague that it’s an argument against reality. McDermott wins football games. The question is really about what he can do against superior football teams with superior talent. That’s basically where he comes up short over his history in Buffalo. Can he get over the hump and have the bills win games against superior talent? Unlikely. That’s also true of 99% of the coaches out there. Almost every year we end up with a Super Bowl winner that’s either the most talented, or near the most talented with enough great combos to overcome any talent deficiencies. There’s only 3 coaches whom I think can be one of those coach combos. Andy Reid, Kyle Shannahan and Sean McVay. What you’re basically saying is there’s a coach out there who’s gonna lead the bills past Reid and Mahomes without having the best roster in the NFL? Or even Joe Burrow when your roster is a shell of its regular season self? Because thats the upgrade to McDermott

Like do people want McDermott fired because they’re frustrated or because they think McDermott lost control of his roster, lost the ability to game plan with his coordinators or because kneeled with 20 seconds left? No. Not remotely close. I think he’s managing Diggs perfectly This is out there folks: https://x.com/rapsheet/status/1729148681402855828?s=46&t=b_6DEUCIOVykcHVZYqq8jg be careful with what you’re asking for. You might just get it. Enjoy your week

Want to make a change? Ask McDermott to hire a DC who’ll end up being the head coach of the defense. Mostly McD has been excellent as a play caller but hey have at that

No this is me wanting the bills to win a SB. There’s a lot more bad coaches than there are good coaches. Th is I’ve learned from being a football sicko - both college and NFL - for decades now. Ousting a legit good coach when he hasn’t lost his locker room and hasn’t stopped being willing to make big changes (such as firing his OC mid season), is a massive risk that I don’t think will pay off

I’ve been a fan since I moved to Buffalo as a 2 year old….in 1981. I’ve been through basically all of it

What would you expect differently out of a different coach with this specific roster and injury situation?

Yes because all NFL coaches will win without some kid of elite talent either at QB or at every where else on the roster

Its scheme and depth. The bills D will always fade in the 2nd half because they have almost no depth any more. They do well in the first half because McDermott has just enough fresh talent at the right spots to get stops. Lqte 3rd and 4th and OT the Bills pass rush turned completely non existent because of that lack of depth and other pieces. For example they don’t have a good blitzing backer without Milano. That matters. Eventually McDermott turns desperate with his blitzes which is why you suddenly crazy plays like playing cover 0 in the red zone

Yea this ain’t about MvDermott the human being or moral victories. Want to know what makes a coach a great coach in the NFL? It’s not Xs and Os. That happens your coordinators. It’s not player development. That happens with your S&C program and position coaches. It’s their ability to hire good coaches and then manage a locker room of multi-millionaires with massive amount of diversity in personality and backgrounds, and getting them to actually give a crap about each other and getting on the same page and sacrificing for each other. I mean the reason the Bills have Diggs is because that Head Coach COULDNT do that in Minnesota And yea game management matters and McDwrmott actually struggle some with that, but he’s not that far off from most teams in the league - all fam bases seem to hate this about their coach. This is purely practical. The odds of the Bills UPGRADING McDemott are not great. The odds of them getting worse is much higher. Ive gotten used to winning with Buffalo. I’ve seen engines coaches in the NFL over 35 years to risk that crap when I know the coach here is enough to get the bills where they need to go with a good roster

so does McDermott get full credit for Josh Allen in your world? And all the other hits from the draft? Or just the ones that don’t immediately pan out well?

Reality is that pretty much every other coach in the NFL has the Bills pretty much where they are, maybe 1-2 wins more. The majority of coaches would have a sub 500 record with this roster

Beane much moreso than McDermott. Even then Beane and McDermott don’t control injuries. And the primary issue has been injuries to the D, and then of course Dorsey struggling I wasn’t happy with the loss. I am fairly angry at the entitlement and treatment of McDermott. Mostly at the entitlement honestly
