I'm not going to lie .......... my first thought when I saw the lateral and the TD I was thinking at least Allen has almost a minute to try to score.
I said to my wife and kids, this is a “good” thing. We’ll have time to try and move the ball for the game winning score 😂
Their reaction was like, What?!?!?!!!!?!
I was serious. I told them they’ll just end up milking the clock and scoring (TD) at the end, game over.
Then the flag was shown and the rest is history. 😁 Go Bills!

Far too young. Much prayer for Frank Wycheck and his family.

No, he interviewed 25 people. As the article, which you likely didn't read, states.
Another indication you didn't read it -- not all the comments were critical.
Every NFL organization has turnover. Few, if any, have leaders who screw up so badly that so many former associates would come out and day what they did, even off the record.
Dunne didn't make it a hit job. McD's leadership style and continual fails late in games have (we JUST had a couple with "12 men" and failing to close the Eagles).
Yeah, I hope we go on a run and win the SB too. I can separate my hopes as a fan from a fair, objective analysis of a journalist's work. McD's whining this was a hit piece on his character is yet another evasion of hard truths that must be looked at by one's self but are not. That's NOT leadership when said leader demands that of his people all the time. You gotta walk the walk and not just talk the talk. Which is one reason it appears Digggs really doesn't dig Sean McDermott.
Oh hey Tyler.

Well, maybe study demographics, New York State parliamentary procedure, political science, and psychology. There would be a howling mob from Utica on east that would absolutely be against the funding.
Look, I don't think the anecdote is as important as people have made it. It was horrifically stupid and people, especially from the NYC metro area, are pissed. However, there a dozen key points in the article, made in total by 25 people with firsthand knowledge of the situation, that were just as important to what matters here: McD is not a gameday coach. He freezes. He's rigid personally, and he's not a natural leader.
I was never hung up on the comment. It was stupid. McD has to address the team all the time -- people make mistakes. But don't fool yourself -- King made a good point. It would be much tougher to get funding today in a legislative process that depends on the goodwill of New York State votes representing the eastern half of the state / NYC. Stupid mistakes at important points can have big consequences. Whether that's squibbing it at 13 seconds or making dumb remarks. But whatever -- the piece details very amply that McD is not an effective leader of football players. Not at the Lombardi level.
The Bills are a large organization with high attrition because of the nature of the business.
Dunne found “25” people that felt burned by McDermott and wrote an article. I.e., he likely interviewed more than 25 but stuck to the negative “support the narrative” statements.
Let’s remove the “Bills” for a moment. Highly regarded, well ran organizations are still going to have their employees that gripe, leadership is screwed up, I hate it here….Down the line.
It’s easy to find a disgruntled person if you look hard enough. Dunne made it a hit job.
McDermott has his faults. The article was garbage. I hope it brings the team together and they save their season.

People already going off on the coaching staff. Unbelievable.
This game was totally on the Bills players and the refs.
If Cook doesn't drop a gimme TD, Gabe and Josh are on the same page in OT, and Tyler hits his FGs, the Bills win by 16 points.
And don't even get me started on the refs.
We watch the same script, every game, he calls the same type of defense and allows the opposing offense free yards all the way down to wherever they want to go, he is ALWAYS out coached.
Yeah, the players crapped on themselves on specific plays (also made a bunch of plays), but it’s the same movie/story every year. Teams and players change from year to year….The coach is the same. He’s the constant in all of this. We’ll have the same conversation next year regarding game outcomes with McDermott leading the way. He needs to go.

Fournette wears his pads from LSU (same color anyway - purple and yellow), shoulder pads with the locker are purple and yellow.

Thanks for the heavy lift, Chongli. For these two games:
1) Christmas at my sister's on the 23rd...and she has a Peacock subscription. I'd better check to make sure it's the appropriate level.
2) IF the Bills fall into this Wild Card slot, I'm heading for a sports bar. I got YouTube TV, I got Prime for Thursdays. Come on, people. Enough.
No falling into a wildcard spot. Should the Bills make the playoffs they’ll be considered red hot and peaking, after beating the likes of Philly, Kansas City, etc. Not a team anyone would want to play.

Honestly for the first time in a while gonna miss this one... going golfing... besides meaningless game as neither team is going anywhere except higher in the draft... Bills need to work on some things on O and D needs to heal... good luck but as much as I suck at golf this game is more painful.
Far from meaningless, two of the teams Buffalo is chasing just lost their starting QBs for the year. The Bills can still make something out of this season.

At the risk of getting blasted on here….I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s medicated. Sugar high Josh, throwing up before games Josh, needs to get hit to get into games Josh, his own reference to his mental state, etc. He’s most definitely subdued.

And yet the best you can do is cite a theoretical example from last year?
Nope, watch the games, I guess. Listen to the reporters that are on the sidelines. Go to a game, I don’t know man. Allen has picked this team up on his back over and over through this leadership grit and lead from the front mentality. If you want to get into leadership traits or principles, where do you want to start? You asked for an example, I picked one that was all over the media and pretty blatant.

I asked for a specific leadership example. If you can’t provide one then just don’t. Don’t pretend to know about all the super secret leadership traits he exhibits behind closed doors but never on the field.
Allen is not solely to blame but absolving him with the hero worship crap is pathetic. Oooooooooh…..the coaches ruined him……give me a break.
Have you noticed that every time Allen says “we’re good we’re good”……we’re not good?
There are plenty of examples of Allen leading the team, whether it be on the field, his comments to the media, or gasp….On the sideline.
Leaders don’t need to chew somebody out on National Television to give you evidence that he’s a leader or not.
Diggs lost his stuff last season, Allen showed restraint not arguing back, likely thinking of the long term relationship. He handled it behind closed doors, sorry if that doesn’t fit your leadership expectation, but it kept their relationship amicable. If Allen blows up there, that’s likely done.
Yes, the plays called by the OC actually have an impact on how well the offense is going to execute. Really????

He hasn’t been a leader. Sorry. Is he the best player? Talent wise yes. Playing wise sometimes. But leaders pick up slack when things are going wrong. Josh creates slack. Leaders shake off failure and rebound.
Josh has done none of that. When was the last time you saw him on the sideline rallying the team or an individual teammate? Can you name something difficult a leader does that you’ve seen Josh do this year? One thing? And no, saying “I have to play better” in the post game does not count as difficult. He needs to grow up.
You have no idea of the amount of slack he’s covering up or how much talking he’s doing on the sideline from the little screen shot from the tv coverage.
He’s picked this team up in his back often, countless times.
The coaching staff does not put the players in the best position to succeed. They’re ruining Allen.
It’s on the coaches that the team is now 5-5. McDermott is beyond being out coached, it’s time to move on.

Lol do you watch the 2023 games?
If you want to say he’s sucked at times, say that. He’s one of the few leaders they have on that team.

He’s supposed to be a leader.
He is a leader. He plays with heart, holds himself accountable, plays hard, sets a high bar for others to emulate. Praise in public, correct behind closed doors. Sounds good to me.

Josh Allen again not doing crap and yet everyone here thinks he is the best Qb in the League. I’m so sick of him getting a free pass here.
Oh, you’re right! He supposed to throw AND catch his own passes.

Worked when we used it.
They used it throughout the game, not just at the end….failed. 18 points.

The thing is.. call that tripping penalty. Don’t call the intentional grounding. 3 pts almost assured.
call the facemask on Davis in the endzone.. ball on the 1. TD far more likely than a FG.
Thats 7 extra points and the difference in the game. And that’s not counting all the other holds not called and any of the other plays that may have happened had they not cut Bills drives short.
The league screwed us ..again.
They screw themselves.

Bills just gotta win the next two games get to 7-4 and hope for the best.They’re desperate because nothing is working. The new gimmick, no huddle/up tempo, didn’t last very long.
The coaching has no idea on how to fix this.

They went toe to toe away with a hot Bengals team away. It’s not a tragic outcome 5-4 one game behind in the division. It’s not a tragic outcome but very frustrating as had Kincaid not fumbled they would have changed the complexion of the game had they scored.No, that was a blowout on the field minus the scoreboard. Just like the Bills over the Buccaneers. Never ONCE did it seem like the Bills would win that game. They’re 5-4 and have the toughest schedule in the NFL remaining. The season outlook does look tragic, definitely not good.

WTF is "complimentary" football anyway? Josh is even saying it now.
That’s his way of saying it’s the offense and not the defense that is screwing them over.

What can McDermott and Dorsey say they are better than 95% of other coaches? What is their specialty? What advantage do we gain over other teams with their presence?
I'm going to bet that everyone reading this post will come up empty with any kind of answer. I know the two of them are fine coaches. But they are not Super Bowl caliber.
He hung up a banner though?

I saw portions of the Hocholi game today, he and his crew were the same today. The league needs to address how they officiate.
