This feels ridiculous to me, as they are a dynasty in part because of our screw-ups in the playoffs and part of that is McDermott's decision making.
It becomes circular very fast.McD
The Defensive coach who’s defense repeatedly disappeared in the playoffs😔

Is being a perennial contender a problem?
Is banging your head against the divisional round and losing not a problem?
I’d rather shoot for greatness and fail instead of settling for good enough.

Really enjoying the folks who would rather the Bills lose so they can be right about McDermott than continue to be a good team year in and year out with McDermott at the helm.

You'd be better off hitting your head with a two-by-four for the next hour or so.
That's all I got on this subject.
The first step to fixing a problem is admitting you have one…..

Some fans are REALLY invested in seeing McDermott fail. Even moving goal posts ahead of time just in case we exceed expectations.
I get it. 13 Seconds hurt and some people don't know how to process that hurt and trauma. They want to BLAME SOMEBODY!!!! But that's not going to change the past. And it's low vibration crap.
McDermott made all his haters look like MORONS this past season with the winning streak to end the year. Give it up guys. McDermott is going to win a championship with the Bills, maybe multiple. The sooner you get off this hate train, the more you can enjoy the championship run without a bad feeling in your gut. Instead of feeling bliss you'll go "we won in spite of McDermott!". But you'll just be a spiteful person.
I see it in every thread. Nobody can just enjoy Allen. Somebody has to pop in and say "Allen is great but.....McDermott". Bro, just enjoy life. It's so obvious how horrendous the mentality is around here. God forbid the team takes on this loser mentality of portions of this fanbase. They'll be sitting at the dive bar with multiple posters and Doug Whaley talking about who we should fire next.

This entire thread brings back memories of all of the discussions around Ryan Fitzpatrick explaining that even though he was in his 7th NFL season he was virtually a rookie.
That is an apt comparison.
McD is the Fitzpatrick of HCs. He’ll look good until he completely bungles it.

Could have had Belichick and Landry coordinating the D that night. Wouldn't have mattered.
This it the antithetical sub thread to McD vs Jauron.

Sure.
How many times did we do the “KC is dead they may not make the playoffs”
Or how many times did we say “the Pats dynasty is done here, they look broken!”
And then we all wake up January first and they are both in the playoffs every time lol.
Best QB in the division by a lot + best coach in the division =‘s playoffs. Always always always always unless Josh misses 6+ games.
As I stated before. Josh is not a panacea, but he appears to be a crutch.
I don’t ascribe to the “maybe we will fluke our way to a championship “ train of thought.
He is a generational talent. He should be harnessed and used correctly. IMO that is not what we are looking at moving forward. -

I think he could yes. The defeat to the Bengals two years ago was on the players. Josh included. He sucked.
McD played no part in the D absolutely crapping the bed to start the game? His scheme was above reproach?

Or when he doesn't have to get past that same Patrick Mahomes.
Or the Patrick Mahomes faces a D that actually makes him work for it and not just trot out and shoot layups repeatedly.

The problem is, if you have a great OC he will quickly get poached and become a HC. A great DC is less likely to get poached for HC. I really like McD in general, but a defensive minded HC will lead to a lot of turnover at OC whether you hit or miss.
Dennison was let go.
Daboll = Poached ( due to the success of the O/Allen )
That’s it for the poaching.
Dorsey was ooof.
Taking Brady on was a shrewd move as he was an up and comer who had the experience of running an O. We shall see if there is some magic there ( there might be) but by the looks of it they are trying to create a ball control O. This doesn’t look like it will lead to him being taken from us, at this point.
2 hours ago, Augie said:Yeah, he’s got the 2nd most wins in the last 5 years behind only Andy Reid, he’s won the AFCE 4 years in a row and he has the best winning percentage in franchise history. That gets you a smoldering hot seat? I think thought beats emotion in terms of outcomes. My Big Picture with no anger says we are in good hands.
The “fire the bum” crowd are delusional about how hard it is to do better. I prefer to let him keep doing a great job, and getting better every year. It took Andy Reid a while too.
A.R. Was demonstrably better as was posted up thread.

Regular season high-level overall defensive play is not enough. We need to do it consistently in the playoffs. I know, injuries, great teams, but a defensive specialist needs to rise to the occasion in big moments and raise his game, not lower it.
Let me just beat them all to the punch….
Excuse…….
Non sequitur followed by useless stats
Number 1 regular season D💪🎉yay!!!!
More excuses…..
Ad Hominem attack
What about “ the drought” argument

How many head coaches consistently have winning records without good quarterbacks?
On the flip side, surely all very good QBs in the NFL make the playoffs every year, and coaching has nothing to do with it. I assume Justin Herbert makes the playoffs every year, right?
What was McDermott's record the year he DIDN'T have Josh as head coach? What did his team look like, and did it make the playoffs?
Is it honestly your contention that if you gave Jauron Josh Allen as his QB, that he'd be just as good of a head coach as Sean McDermott?
It's absolutely wild to me that people are legitimately comparing the head coach with the highest winning percentage in franchise history to Jauron, or are claiming that Allen is the only reason McDermott has won so many football games.
Again...I'm not a huge McDermott lover. I've been frustrated with him a lot lately, and I'm not sure he's the man for the job long term. But comparing him to Jauron is just nonsense.
I would love -- absolutely LOVE -- to hear what makes Sean McDermott "just like Jauron". What makes them similar, specifically? Please enlighten me.
You made an apples/oranges comparison with a lot of stats…. Woohoo…..yay……
It was a non lazy bad take.
I don’t like the Jerkron comp. He’s Schottenheimer 2.0. He’s a big game choker who can’t win, even with home field or Josh gifting him a last seconds, unloseable win…… which he lost.

Bad/lazy take.
Jauron was 60-82 as a head coach.
McDermott is 73-41 as a head coach.
Jauron had a .42 win percentage as a head coach.
McDermott has a .64 win percentage as a head coach, which is best all time for the Buffalo Bills, and just below Andy Reid and Bill Belichick's career win percentages.
Dick Jauron had one playoff season in 10 seasons as head coach. He was 0-1 in the playoffs.
Sean McDermott has had six playoff seasons out of seven seasons as head coach. He is 5-6 in the playoffs.
I'm no McDermott apologist, and I'm not sure he's the man for the job long term, but to compare him to Jauron is simply unreasonable and unrealistic.Who was the best QB Dickie boy had?
How does that QB compare to Allen?
Lazy take???

He will continue to make stupid mistakes and hope his superstar QB can minimize his F-ups. There will be at least 2 times this season where he will make the same mistakes he has in the past and we will be wondering wtf, how has this idiot not learned his lessons from the last.
Unfortunately, I expect that in the playoffs where his pucker factor seems to effect his coaching acumen and decision making😠

If this team can only muster 8-9 wins with Josh Allen at QB then this HC/GM aren’t it. No excuse
Josh isn’t a panacea….yet many seem to think he is, including McBeane by the looks of the “Talent” they surround him with.

if Von looks the same, Milano is still recovering form, the safeties are meh, etc it will be a bad start, and in a hole by mid season.
Exactly how I read the schedule, with us being in a deep hole and only managing 8-9 wins.

Not arguing that I'm the least.
It's a great guess that by this season's end there's going to be a lot of criticism of Brady's approach in conjunction with our complimentary football MO.
Only in as much as:
The D doesn’t play well in the biggest moments ( L Jackson pick, yeah, I know)
They haven’t added the outside burner( s) Josh deserves. Not sure that will be Brady’s fault but agree he will catch heck for it.

Well, OK, but one of two good teams they played all season, 1-1. And Denver's offense was awful, far worse than Arizona's. Arizona was easily the more complete team.
42 offensive points vice 10?
One win all season against any team that made it past the divisional round is hardly a harbinger of greatness.
12 of their 17 regular season games were against teams 8-8 or worse and with negative point-differentials.
Sure, but they beat bad teams.
They didn’t lose to The Pats, Or Jets, Or Jags ( a couple years back) or all the other piss poor teams we have continually lost to under McD.
They took care of business.-

Kuechly was a great LB. One of the best of this millenium. But Davis no way was on Milano’s level. He had game but wasn’t nearly as physical as Milano.
Ron Rivera has always been an overrated marginal coach. Better w Carolina. But his tenure w Washington was an embarrassment.
You didn’t watch the same TD I did🤷♂️

Emphasize apex. Five losing seasons out of eight otherwise.
Apart from that season, Rivera was 61-62 there. His playoff track record apart from that one season is similar in futility to ours.
The apple hasn't fallen far from the tree.
Rivera was there for 8 seasons before getting fired and going to DC they everyone saw how bad he really was.
They had crazy good talent in several positions, underachieved in major ways.
My primary point was that that '15 season is vastly overrated as the season had their streets paved with gold, their schedule could not have been more accommodating had the schedule makers tried to make it easier. Literally.
The time to strike is when the opportunity presents itself.
They caught lightning in a bottle tag at year, all year, till they ran into Denver’s D

They did have a ridiculously easy schedule that season.
Which could be why they had losing records both before and after that season.
The Panthers always yo yoed between good seasons and bad, it was actually crazy to watch as it seemed so predictable

So, your a “glass is mostly full and that’s good enough for me” kinda guy.
Awesome, some of us aren’t.
When you have the best QB in the league it’s SB or bust.
Josh isn’t the one not getting us over the hump.
And, no, I’d be objectively pointing out what is wrong with the new regime if they sucked, not complaining as I am not now😉
