John has a Super Bowl win, so much better a HC over Mcdermott

Campbell already much better HC, that team is young and will only get better. Bills will never win in the playoffs with McDermott as the HC

No I disagree, they score and Mahomes still has almost 2mins left. Allen should have run or passed to Diggs , get another first down and burn a little more clock before trying to score or kick game tying FG. Brady screwed up the final set of downs by calling stupid run up the middle and Chiefs were expecting it. That should have had Allen with pass/run option and they were giving us pass underneath. Not sold on Brady or McDermott in coaching/play calling and we just don't have enough talented player to overcome our margin of error We let them off the hook and that team will now win another Super Bowl and just add more depth this offseason and be even harder to beat next year. They have so many players all over especially on defence and unlike us are not wasting 20 million in cap space for a #1 WR that is not a big play maker in big games. That is a big problem right now, Diggs makes loads of money and never comes up big in these games against KC

I just think we need to look closer what the offence did in final games, we won but the defence also came up strong Even Pats game, we had all those turnovers in the first half and still the offence could not put them away. The Dolphins game against a team missing so many defensive starters we struggled, easily could have lost Chiefs game had Toney not lined up offside and our offence struggled in Chargers game Not sure why anyone is totally sold on Brady, I thought Sunday the play calling was borderline stupid. The Chiefs adjusted when they saw us bring in extra lineman and he just kept running. Everyone talks about wasting Allen's prime years with McDermott, then the next best thing is to hire a cordinator that gets the most out of him. Were going to live and die with out top paid and top player Allen. You need to have the best cordinator possible and not just a guy who was around and got promoted

Another good one to consider, again it would be a mistake to just hand Brady the job because he really did not improve the passing game and Bills could have easily lost to the Chiefs/Chargers and Dolphins who were missing so many players. All 3 of those games were decided on final drives

I think they need to explore all options and not just hand him the job like they did with Dorsey. Allen liked Dorsey and how did that turn out? When have we seen change at primary coaching positions with this team in the past 5 seasons? When have they brought someone from the outside to be defensive or offensive cordinator. I think the last time was when he hired Dabol

The reality is this is a passing league, you have one of best QB'S in the NFL. We need a coordinator that gets us back to being an explosive offence, I did not like watching our slow 12-14 play drives that take 7-8 mins . Some would think your controlling the clock and keeping your defence fresh. I think it works against you because you have less opportunities to score and games than come down to final drives Another point, James Cook is not built to be a workhorse RB like Thurman Thomas. You give him so many carries then he wears down just as much as the defense. I just saw so many late game drives where Brady seemed like he had to run on first down and we wasted a down doing so putting us behind the sticks. It happened on Sunday on final drive With Brady as coordinator the offence may overall look better but the passing game took steps back and we had far less big chuck plays. If McDermott really wants to keep his job and see this team get over the hump then he hires someone that can get this offence to being explosive and stays the F—k out or else he will continue to be Reid's whipping boy come playoff time. McDermott said this league was about passing the ball, get a guy who can scheme guys open and pass the ball Huge mistake just listening to Allen & other players that they likes Brady, Allen said the same thing about Ken Dorsey and we made excuses for him for his first year after Dabol left. Only got worse the second year, sorry I was not impressed with the play calling on Sunday. 16 passes at the line of scrimmage when you have a QB with the strongest arm in the NFL.

Not convinced Brady the guy, I do not like his run heavy offence. You can't win in the playoffs playing that way, I just saw some many wasted downs trying to run th ball last in games putting us behind the sticks. I think the Bills need to upgrade this coaching position because we need to get back to being an explosive offence

The fact that is is most likely not McDermott's worse attribute as a HC should tell you something Your cheery picking but continue on

This is a poor example because top picks usually play, I am talking about second day picks Another guy going into a different direction, he usually plays top picks or day one picks. How about you take your beer and compare how many picks KC played last year with what the Bills played.

One thing is clear with McDermott is he loves his older vets and has very little patience for young players. He is going to need to adjust and start trusting and playing young players/rookies because of the Bills cap situation. The Chiefs did it last season on ended up winning a Super Bowl, they played and started rookies, some of those guys are now big contributors. Even a young guy like rookie WR Justin Shorter maybe should have been brought up late in the year. The WR position was a problem all season and no reason why you can't give a dude 6"4 a shot, maybe we"re scoring a TD on that opening drive against KC rather than kicking a FG. Or starting Elam over Jackson or over a injured Douglas who was not moving well at all in that Chiefs game. There was one throw on the opening drive that Jackson had an opportunity to intercept and missed, maybe the more athletic Elam makes that play In my opinion you keep all your rookie picks on the opening day roster and let them learn and play through mistakes early in the season and then they can be counted on come playoff time. Having them hide on your practice squad is not helping them get experience or getting them ready for the playoffs

I think it's Patrick/Lamar/Joe/Allen/Herbert and Herbert could easily pass Allen next season because he has Harbaugh and Allen has some guy that believes running the ball is how you win. End of the day Allen is most talented but being stuck with McDermott has limited his success and will continue to do so

I thought his drop on long pass was biggest reason why we lost, he catches that then good chance he scores because defender falls down and we go up 4 with about 8 mins left. Yes Mahomes had 8 mins but defence seem to get some stops in that 4th quarter. It just seems Diggs has never been able to bring it to any of these playoff games. I always thought that contract was too big for a guy his age

I agree that if you come out and go down the field quickly to score you put pressure on the other team to match. Had they played with more pace and scored more we would have allowed the crowd to get into the game, crowd noise was never a factor

Has anyone ever considered how these 14-15 play drives wear down our own offensive players. McDermott will get one more season to get back to passing and quick strike offence and if her continues to play cavemen football then he is will be fired. When your playing at home you need to score as quickly as possible to get the crowd into the game

I just hope if Brady is the OC then we change how we play, these long time consuming drives at not it. Get back to quick strike and big chuck play football

I agree 100%, your at home and we should have played more like we did against the Pats. Scoring fast gets the crowd into the game and that is what you want when playing at home. These ground and pound game plans are not going to get it done, your leaving it up for final drives and anything can happen as we saw. This team needs to restock at WR and get back to being a high scoring offence. For me when your playing at home it should always be about getting up 2 scores and then letting the crowd get into the game. Our crowd never got into this game because everything went slow. I know McDermott fanboys don't want to hear this but we will never win with him as HC because he is terrible on game day and cannot make adjustments. That fake punt was dumbest call all season, if your going to do that then go ahead and pass on every down. McDermott is a good coach, he is just not a great coach . Even Marv Levy saw the importance of scoring and passing, the goal for this team next season should be scoring 35 points or more every game and not these 12-15 play drives that end up in FG'S

I think Allen will be thinking about those last two throws all offseason. He could have either passed to Diggs over the middle or run and that gives the Bills a first down or 3rd & 3 or less./. The goal should have always been to get at least one more first down to kill clock before trying to score TD or game typing FG. I really believe the chemistry/trust between Allen & Diggs was not at the same level then it was a few seasons ago or Allen gives that pass the Diggs when he crosses his face . I believe the chemistry was damaged last year after Cincy game and only got worse with stupid comments/tweets from Diggs's brother. As a fan I am really disappointed because the Bills again failed in situational football against this same Chiefs team.

Ot maybe they released they need better receivers to play that way, Bills need to get back the offence we had 2 seasons and add a running game

I was pleased to hear McDermott admit that passing is how win, still need to run the ball but it's about passing the ball.

The Buffalo defense in the last three divisional round losses: Opposing passers -- 71 percent, 8.1 yards per pass, 7 TDs, 0 interceptions, 3 sacks. Against the run: 167 yards a game, 5.9 yards a carry.

The offence struggled last year and struggled this year,

This offence has been terrible since Dabol left

I think Harbaugh would be a great get, sadly this decision my require another year of not meeting expectations. McDermott is a great HC for a team trying to make their first playoffs or turn a program around. He would be perfect in Charlotte or Chicago

I believe McDermott should be fired, I think it's the right time because many vets on this team will not be back and Bill always seems to get the most out his players. Only thing he has not had since Brady is a top QB. Having said this I don't believe Pegula would pull the trigger because he is soft I think McDermott is a very good HC, I just think in the playoffs adjustments and game day decisions become all that more important.
