I mean firing McDermott won't make things better unless you're bringing in an elite schemer who's a significant upgrade over Joe Brady. At this point that's like 5 people. Sean McVay, Andy Reid, Matt LaFleur, Kyle Shannahan and you can maybe argue Mike McDaniels who's club has been destroyed by injuries. You can talk about 13 seconds, and sure you can criticize that for him - but in general you're talking about issues that impact the game less than 1% of the time. There was nothing Andy Reid or any other coach would do that was going to get past the Chiefs in the other 2 games. The first time we played them we had a significantly worse team. Last season the defense had no business being on the field with the injury issues they had and the Bills probably maxed out what they could do in that game. 2 years ago against the Bengals, you had another set of huge injury issues defensively, and an emotionally drained club due to multiple factors outside their control. You can point to basically 1 game where another coach may have extracted a win where McDermott's Bills didn't, and keep in mind that game was one of the greatest playoff games in NFL history - the Bills played really really well in that game. Mostly, I just wish Bills fans would appreciate what they have in McDermott. I honestly don't understand how you can live through our history and NOT.

Primarily luck of the draw with a helping hand from Beane. But even there, 10% of Beane's job is scouting and then praying your luck works out based on the measurables, and 90% managing your roster & salary cap as you assess the talent you have through the season. When you accept that much of the draft is getting the measurables right, matching it with production, and then just hope and prayer, you realize that franchises aren't "better" than the rest of the NFL, rather thet get their roulette wheel spinning their way, and hire a coach who has great leadership and knows ball. Andy Reid didn't make a super bowl until had Donovan McNabb surrounded by talent. He didn't win one until he had Mahomes and Kelce. That doesn't neccesarily make him better than McDermott (I'd take Reid in a heartbeat over McDermott), it means he sets up an elite culture that allows for his talent to develop and perform, and got lucky with key draft pieces What does this prove? That's not at all the implication. Talent is the biggest factor far and away.

I mean that's judging by cliche

The Bills have played in exactly 2 coin flip games when the roster talent was about even. The Bills beat Lamar Jackson and the Ravens in the divisional round. The Bill lost to Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs in the divisional round. Every other game was the expected result based on talent + injuries. It's not his fault that people don't seem to want to agree that Talent + Availability is the biggest differentiator between winning and losing in the playoffs, and the people tend to overrate the talent of their own teams. The vast majority of winning a SB is luck of the draw in how the talent you get in the draft turns elite. What you CAN control is player culture leading to player development leading to player performance. The Bills have an excellent track record in player development and performance. The 10% non-luck reasons for the Bills not winning or making a super bowl can be pinned down to Beane's FA/Draft choices, McDermott end of game situational coaching, his choice in coordinators and position coaches, and honestly mostly just the other team

He's never lost to a team in the playoffs that had less talent than the Bills

The man broke the playoff curse with Tyrod Taylor at QB And he got 6 wins out of this roster And then won 10 games and took a Houston team with an MVP level QB to OT with a pre-leap Allen with this roster

I mean I've been a Bills fans since the mid 80s. Having gone through what I've gone through, watched other franchises struggle with relevancy....build a damn statue of McDermott and as long as he's got this culture going he can stay forever as he cycles through various coordinators.

Just glad the Bills don’t have to play this team until sometimes Fall 2025

That’s a dirty ***** play from Poyer

Only if things go horribly wrong

This is exactly what you want to be. 1:30 left, tie game Allen with the ball

That’s tremendous play from Tua under pressure

Which the bills defense absolutely doesn’t have. If you’re hating the Bills D today then talk to Beane

Good offensive execution is almost always gonna beat a good defense folks. The Dolphins have an easy talent on their offense vs. Buffalos defense and you’re seeing it play outb

Let’s see you try and contain Hill and Waddle off the LOS

That’s just tremendous offense.

Man I’m pretty happy the Bills don’t have to play this offense again this season

Allen is simply unfair

This defense doesn’t have all that much blue chip talent

Yea and they found their interior oline these last few weeks without Tua

Y’all realize Bobby babich is the DC and calls the defensive plays right

Same difference

Good for my fantasy team bad for the Bills

I DONT CARE WHO YOURE VOTING FOR

I was wondering about this he’s well short if this is the rule
