    That was the most 2023 Bills drive I've seen yet. Chiefs offense finally puts a good drive together for a TD. The defense then immediately looks like soft butter before losing a player to a gruesome looking injury. Then the opposing offense has two improbable completions to put them up by two scores again.

    Post of the year right here^ lol. So true

    Miami hasn’t won anything in like 50yrs. Do you really want to see KC, Mahomes and Kelce have home field yet again? I don’t. 

    If that means Miami not winning? Yep.

     

    Miami CAN represent the afc if they have home field advantage.

     

    I think there’s no way they win at arrowhead though

    I care about a pick, particularly because it was on Allen and flipped momentum late in the game.

     

    And yes, Allen left the field in OT with the lead - after another bizarre miscommunication - and handed the game back to his defense. Hurts ensured the game-winning TD.

     

    Overall, Allen had a great game. But there continues to be that nagging undercurrent allowing big stats and flash plays but without actual success.

    Did it really flip momentum though?


    Even if bills punted, eagles were scoring from wherever they were on the field.

     

    their own 10, 25, or the bills 30. It didn’t matter 

     

    Bills defence had absolutely no answer in the 2nd half/overtime and the only way for the bills to win was for Josh to be perfect. That’s a pretty unrealistic expectation to have

    McDermott himself expressed concern over "wearing himself too thin" if he were to handle DC responsibilities along with HC, but he was given the job anyway.  

     

    Perhaps not coincidentally, McDermott has made more mistakes in-game this season than any prior season.  Maybe he knows himself best and the best version of himself is not when he is being overwhelmed with additional responsibilities he is not used to.  From all reports, McDermott is a man of routine, and his routine has been very much thrown off this season.  I don't think he was ever able to adjust perhaps in the way some may have expected him to.  But again, the fact that he seemed to express doubt in himself ("don't want to wear myself too thin") should have been a red flag in itself.  But what do I know?

     

    Do we give him any benefit of the doubt that perhaps with a proper DC, McDermott can be a better head coach again?   

    You make good points.

     

    But I still think it’s a responsibility he should be able to handle.

     

    Reid, Shanahan, Mcvay, Taylor, McDaniel, McCarthy.

     

    Those are all coaches who calls plays who have had great success this year or in the past. (There are more as well)

     

    I believe more than 50 percent of head coaches in the NFL calls plays for Their team

    I'm tough on him for lots of reasons.

     

    1. Because he signed a quarter of a billion dollar contract and that comes with level of expectations (i.e. not getting inexplicably outplayed by Zach Wilson and Mac Jones)

    2. If he was a bit more consistent week to week and cleaned up a little more of the turnovers, he might just be the undisputed best in the league

     

    I'm very happy Josh Allen is our QB. I think he's great. I want him to be the best, just like I want every Bills player to be the best player ever. Because I want to see them win a Superbowl.

    That’s fair to a certain degree 

     

    But I remember talking to you about him during the eagles game and you were roasting him off one bad pass lol.

     

    The guy was the best player in the NFL that week.

     

    That’s why I questioned you to where you have him ranked cause even when he’s elite (like on Sunday), you were still blasting him 

  6. Every time I’ve seen your posts, you seem to rip on Josh.

     

    You even somewhat excused the defensive performance on Sunday saying the eagles had a lot of short fields and put a lot of blame on Josh for that one INT. (Even though he was the best player in football that week)

     

    So my question to you is:

     

    Do you not think he’s a good QB and where do you rank him in terms of QB?

     

    I just don’t get where you’re going with this constant crusade on Josh so I’m genuinely curious lol

    Did Josh see the zero blitz presnap and call it out? I'd think that would be his responsibility, not Gabe's.

    You seem to think an explanation means blaming. He's telling you why he thinks they failed, which is answering the question being asked.

    Again, no one cares about accountability. They only care about results.

    Here’s where you’re right and here’s where I believe you’re a bit off.

     

    yes they care about results primarily, that’s where you’re right.

     

    however:

     

    No one wants to be thrown under the bus.

     

    And a leader should never do that to his coaches/players. Under any circumstance

     

    example: Joe Brady saying “it’s not Josh’s fault or gabes fault, it’s mine”.

     

    That is taking ownership.

     

    When you say “it starts with me” and then basically blame everyone but yourself essentially, that’s not taking ownership. That’s deflection.

     

    Once again and I don’t say this to sound condescending in anyway. I highly recommend you read extreme ownership by Jocko and you’ll understand my issues with McDermott in his post game presses

    Have you never heard a head coach before? It's HIS team. He doesn't blame anyone, and uses the royal "we" instead, putting himself front and center for the blame. How else should he answer a question that points to a  strategy he's is responsible for?

    "Disgraceful"?! Dude, I hated McDermott as a hire and it's on record here, but you're so so completely off base on everything about the guy and a coach's responsibilities in general, that I gotta stand up for the guy because you're slandering him for completely ridiculous things.

    The dude sucks, but not for any of the reasons you've laid out.

    “Starts with me”. Then goes on to blame everyone else but himself basically .

     

    You don’t do that as a leader/coach 

     

    “Extreme ownership “ by Jocko.

     

    if you haven’t read that, highly recommended.

     

    That’s how a leader should lead.

    After every loss. Have you seriously never heard the quote I referenced?

    I didn't even listen to the postgame or any of his pressers and SURPISE! He said it again.

    "“Each and every one of us has to look at ourselves,” McDermott said. “Like I told you, that starts with me.""

    "Accountability" is a dumb word people use when what they really want is results. No one at any job has anyone ever said "well, I was really mad we ***** up until the guy told us he ***** up" No one cares.

    Ok I’ll give him that as he did take some responsibility there.

     

    Thats extremely rare from him though and yes I’ve heard him speak many times after a loss.

     

    He passive aggressively throws players and coaches under the bus all the time .

     

    ”i felt like we scored too fast there” against Denver.


    Like that’s a disgraceful thing to say as a “leader” especially when his idiotic defensive play calling and the special teams gaf (which as the head coach he’s ultimately responsible for) cost them the game.

    We aren't?

    "That starts with me." is practically tattooed on McDermott's forehead.

    When has McDermott ever taken ownership after a loss in the last two years?

     

    he will either say “we didn’t execute “.

     

    Or even something as ridiculous as blaming his offensive coordinator for scoring too fast at the end of the broncos game lol

    This fool plays his defense straight up for 3 QTRs and then in crunch time he gets scared and leans heavily into pass defense sacrificing the run.

     

     Is there any other logical explanation ? I don’t buy the whole “they got wore down theory” and I’m not even positive that the time of possession would support it.

    Joe Marino said against the eagles that the bills basically ran the same defence all game long.


    The eagles adjusted in the 3rd quarter, and McDermott had no counter off the eagles adjustment 

     

    (again according to Joe Marino)

    See, I think we are going too far with the McDermott hate now. I think he clearly has game management issues but this team has a lot of personalities and has had some really tough circumstances (Hamlin, blizzard, Diggs, etc) and has kept us together through it. I would never question him as a leader. 

    He passive aggressively throws his players and coaches under the bus all the time .

     

    He never says “it’s my fault “.

     

    listen to a Dan Campbell post game press after a loss compared to MCD. 

     

    MCD never takes any ownership and that is a sign of a terrible leader
