    Then go hire Greg Roman again. The guy we all wanted fired.

    The question was does Allen have the same success with Rex as with McD.  No brainer that Allen would have been the focal point from day 1 with Rex, Peterman wouldn't have been named the 2018 syaryer and Allen's skills would have been fast tracked.  

     

    Again conjecture, but either you buy into McD or you don't.   I never have.  He's a good coach too reliant on defence, not a great one.

    Agreed.  I am one of the loudest McD critics but he made the right call there.  It's much harder to score from 2 or 3 yards out than 6 inches. 2 or 3 yard line introduces all kinds of bad things that can happen.  The defense has to hold that bum of a QB from scoring.  Absolute joke.  

    Anyone saying they should have accepted the penalty is absolutely wrong.

     

    Allowing Mac Jones to own you the majority of the game and engineer an effortless game winning TD drive, when all they needed was a fg to get the game to OT is pathetic.

    He broke the drought and dragged Whaley’s POS roster to the playoffs. He instilled confidence in our team. He set up the turnaround. 

    Yea, keep on repeating it enough times and we'll all believe it.

     

    Andy Dalton got them in the playoffs.  

     

    Riddle me this.  If Andy Dalton doesn't throw that TD pass, are you still saying the same about McD?

    I recall.  He didn’t because Mahomes went 2/2 for 44 yards in 10 seconds to put his team in range to tie the game with a FG and then went 6/6 for 61 yards and a TD in overtime.  I realize that doesn’t fall into your definition of “when it counts” because, in a thread about how good Josh is, the only answer you’ll accept is “OMG he’s the best of all time”.  It doesn’t matter that other QBs have won MVPs, Super Bowls, have better records, better stats, etc.  None of that matters to you.  

     

    Josh is 4-4 in the postseason including a 27-10 loss last year, but postseason records don’t matter.  Josh has never won a Super Bowl, but championships don’t matter.  Josh has never taken the Bills to the #1 seed in the conference, but regular season wins don’t matter.  Josh has never won an MVP, but MVPs don’t matter.  The only thing that matters is the logo on the helmet and as long as there’s a buffalo on his helmet, then by God Josh is the GOAT.

    You’re right.  He was 9/16 for 107 yards.  I said 8/15 for 107 originally.

    Again try 10-16, but add up to the yards again 134 not 107, and of course a few ridiculous rushes, including one on 4th and 4..

    I am not going to comment on how "great" Josh is. Most people with any sense or no bias knows he is elite.

     

    My issue is it is 2023, and I am seeing a lot of fans longing for the offense of 2020 and 2021, when we had some talented old heads like Beasely, Sanders and John Brown. I AGREE! Those guys complimented Diggs and made our offense run smoother. Now it's just the Allen and Diggs show, and we don't have the reliable old guys anymore. Instead we have Davis and Knox who SOMETIMES make a great play, but often drop some easy passes, making Josh look for Diggs to get open instead of taking what's open because he doesn't trust the guys.

     

    I feel sad that I don't think we have an offense/team that can win the AFCCG/Super Bowl and truly don't understand how we are still here. How? We went through some heartache the past few years and saw that needed more to get past some of the other AFC teams. What did we do to get us past Cincy and their loaded offense? Now we have The Jaguars, Chiefs are still The Chiefs, the Dolphins are loaded on offense(I know we dogwalked them, but we will most likely have to do that twice more).

     

    Just feel like we are truly relying on Josh to make magic happen, while wasting his prime years. So disappointing.

    Remember, Josh too has now been told not to run.  He has been reined in way too long.

     

    Yes some of us look at coaching and scratch our heads.

    This year especially…like idk if people have blinders on or what haha. Kc,philly,cincy,baltimore have all been very up and down on offense.  KC is getting carried by their defense or they’re a .500 team right now most likely…unfortunately we don’t have that luxury missing all our best defensive players.  
     

    the whole Super Bowl or bust because your qb is good mentality is kind of ridiculous…the best qbs in recent history not named Brady have won 0 or 1 or 2 in their entire careers. Mahomes will likely get more but time will tell how many more 

    So if they don't get to the Superbowl or win it, then who is to blame?

     

    Yes I think Josh Allen is the best player in the NFL,and yes held back by coaching.

     

    They better win multiple with him as that should be the floor.

    Over the last 20 years, the only QBs to win the Super Bowl are:

     

    Greats of the game:

    Brady

    Manning

    Mahomes (yes, he is a great right now)

     

    MVP/Good QBs with great postseason winners:

    Stafford

    Wilson

    Flacco

     

    I have no idea how they won:

    Foles

     

    Regardless, only 1 QB (Foles) who wasn't a solid top 10 QB has won a super bowl in 20 years.

     

    Allen, by all statistical and eye test measures is a top 5 QB in the game, and has been over the past 4 years.  That gives him as good a shot as any to continue with the trend of Super Bowl winners.

     

    Allen is IMO the second best QB in the game right now behind Mahomes.  I think he is trying to win games this year without the physical tax on the body early on, which I do believe has worn him down over the course of the past few seasons.  He has the chance to turn it on at any time, so we should rest easy that Allen will put us in any game we play.

     

    Is he a robot?  No.  But is a QB good enough to win the Super Bowl?  Absolutely.

    Pretty sure you're missing Brees in that list.

    I have never heard 1 single person say that McDermott is more responsible than Allen. You started a thread saying that this is a thing. I’m pretty involved in the “Bills world.” I’ve never once heard that. You just created a topic that no one thinks. Find people that believe McDermott is more responsible than Allen…

    I never said that what I said is I think McD has stunted Allen and that is my biggest concern about him.  I then cited Pederson, McDaniel, Reid and Johnson as coaches who have had a big hand in their qbs' success.

    Wow, I mean wow.

     

    Your strawman is incredible.  This anti-McDermott obsession is pretty damn weird.  

    What???? Your obsession with me is scary.  I've said over and over that McD is a decent coach, and damn I hope he and the Bills win a Superbowl this year.  

     

    What I've never liked is how bad the offence was 2017-2019, the continual talk of "culture" and yep 13 seconds.

    No they don't and not even close.  It's the content of your post that they are vomitting and disagreeing with.  You for whatever reason cannot understand this. 

     

    "Oh, they don't hate McDermott as much as me!!  They must think he's a savior!!"

    Again yes we know on my threads it is popular, but go to any thread were one questions McD or his tenure and the person who posted it is eviscerated in the first post.  Conversely praise McD and nothing but positive emoji's (looking at you eball).

    I’ve asked them to identify themselves. I don’t think that ANYONE believes McDermott is more responsible than Allen. If they do, they can say it.

    I hope none, but many link them and doesn't question McD's development of him (which I do and that infuriates some).

     

    Do you think McDermott should be credited with Allen's progress?  I say this because Reid certainly has played a hand in Mahomes ascension, Pederson for Hurts, McDaniel for Tua, Ben Johnson (OC) for Goff's resurgence........ 

  10. 2 hours ago, Kirby Jackson said:

    Lol, does ANYONE think McDermott is more responsible than Allen?!? If so, please identify yourself because I will not respect your football opinions moving forward. 

    There are many who do hold McD as the saviour of the franchise.  Look at any thread questioning him and the emoji's that almost all are vomits,disagrees and negative as they disagree with any criticism.

     

    I will pound on the drum that McD has hindered more then helped Allen.

     

    The moves and money have been invested more in the defense then the franchise qb.

    The best example for a QB who became a star on a different team that drafted him would be Steve Young. 
     

    Drafted by the Bucs and traded to the 49ers and became a HOF QB. Ibdont remember if he was a top pick for the Bucs though. 

    Young was a top pick and TB gave up after 2 years, bit then Young also didn't play much behind Montana.  He is a very interesting case.

     

    I was referr8ng to those who were considered busts and then had success.  Alex Smith is a good example, but even end the end he was just above average when better coached.

    I can think of about 7 examples off the top of my head right now. How long have you been watching football for ?

    I was talking near the top first round picks.  Some like Young after 2 years went to SF and languished a long time behind Montana before they got their chance.  Others had glimpses but not much more imo.  Manning doesn't count as he was a star.  I was looking at duds, who then flourished elsewhere.

    Allen held back? You literally have no idea what you are talking about. None.

    Again a McD truther.  He had Peterman start the 2018 year, so obviously thought more of Peterman then Allen at that point.  

     

    Just because you don't agree with me, don't have to say that.  I saw many things he should have done early to accelerate Allen's development.  Thought he could have done things differently.

     

    Regardless we're here now.
