Take it another step further.
If Miami and Jacksonville don’t implode week 18 in 2023, the Bills miss the playoffs. With Josh Allen at QB.
No one is forgetting the TT year. the point is that McD’s claim to fame is sneaking into the playoffs once with a crappy QB. Which is exactly what Stefanski has done.
not surprising though. Bills fans have an unhealthy attachment to that event. There was a hefty number who didn’t want to trade TT because “he broke the drought” and “who knows if the next QB is better, he could be worse!”100% of them are still posting the exact same noise about McDermott.
The Bills only beat the Dolphins in week 18 because they imploded? Lets not look at it as we closed the season on a 5 game winning streak.
I mean, when a franchise QB and one of the best in the NFL like Joe Burrow goes down, that definitely changes the landscape. Just like if Allen, Mahomes, Jackson etc....go down.
There is not a unhealthy obsession from anyone. You pumping up Stefanski for doing it twice, I point out McDermott also made the playoffs with a bad QB.....now I'm attached to that event? I mean talking up a coach with multiple posts, from another team with a career losing record AND on a Bills message board sounds more like an obsession to me.
Its not the same because Tyrod will not or ever will take you deep into the playoffs.

I was really simplifying it because it’s not like there’s an elite franchise guy in Cleveland.
I still stand by it though. to make the playoffs multiple times, with different QBs, with that horrific franchise, in that division, is just as impressive as anything McD has done.
to take it one step further, if the Bills were in a division with the Steelers, Ravens and Bengals, we would have much less overall team success and McD would have probably been fired by now.
Take it a step further....
If Burrow doesn't go down in 2023, the Browns don't make the playoffs that year.
Lets also not forget McDermott made the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor.

Bills:
- You know my big one...Von Miller double digit sacks.
- Allen 50 total TD's.
- Dalton Kincaid makes 1st or 2nd Team All Pro
- Khalil Shakir leads the NFL in total YAC
NFL
- Texans take a step back. They will be a 6 or 7 seed.
- Eagles do not make the playoffs
- The Steelers finish with a losing record for the first time in Tomlin's career.

The thing that will be heartbreaking is if/when they confirm after his passing that his brain turned into mush from CTE
From what I understand, he showed signs of mental illness before the Burfict hit. I think he's just unstable.

Preston Brown had led the league in tackles and Jon Miller had a good start to his career before injuries
Total tackles seem not to be a good indicator of performance. The year after Brown led the league in tackles, he only received a 1 year $4 million dollar contract from the Bengals. He was out of the NFL by 2019 after being cut by 3 straight teams (Bengals, Raiders and Jags). He's only 32 years old today and hasn't played since 2019...he was out of the league by age 27.
John Miller had a good start to his career? He was benched by game 4 in his rookie season to Vlad Ducasse.

I think the bolded is a bit of an exaggeration. It was a mismatched roster in the middle of a tear down with the three most talented guys of the previous few years all gone by then - Sammy, Mario and Gilmore. But it still had LeSean McCoy at running back; Cordy Glenn, Eric Wood and Richie Incognito (plus rookie Dawkins) on the offensive line; Charles Clay at that point was still a serviceable tight end; Jerry Hughes and Kyle Williams on the Dline (and Dareus for 6 games - their run D fell off a cliff once they traded him) and then the McDermott 3 of Hyde, Poyer and Tre White in the secondary. They had trash at receiver and linebacker (until rookie Milano got on the field late in the year) agreed, and it was definitely not a top 6 in the AFC roster... it shouldn't "have made the playoffs" in the way I'd argue the 2012, 2014 and 2014 Bills definitely should have. But it was well coached, got a few breaks its way and snuck in.
Now the 2018 roster.... when that oline had fallen apart, the receivers got even worse, Shady and Clay were at the point of decline and Kyle had finally come to the end.... THAT was one of the worst rosters in the NFL. Even as someone who has been critical of Beane I give him some props for his 2019 offseason. They didn't nail all their FA moves but they found some credible receivers and vet offensive linemen who could play in the likes of Beasley, Brown, Spain, Morse, Nsekhe and Feliciano and gave Josh a chance at least to succeed.
We had pieces but overall a bad roster.Our starting offense or major contributors were:
Tyrod Taylor. Benched after 2 games with the Browns. Back up since.LeSean McCoy good for us.
Dionte Thompson - Did he ever make another NFL roster?
Charles Clay - FA disappointment and out of the NFL one year later.
Kelvin Benjamin playing the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man in a future Ghostbusters remake.
Jordan Matthews - Fell off a cliff after the Eagles.Zay Jones probably always naked.
Nick O’Leary - out of the NFL 2 years later?
We had good pieces in Incognito, Hughes, Hyde, White and Poyer….But we also had Ramon Humber, Preston Brown, Jordan Mills, Adolphus Washington and Jon Miller starting…don’t forget the above.
Which offensive roster was worse that year?

The Chan Gailey Bills beat the Patriots in the prime of their dynasty.
Does that mean anything in the larger picture of that season?
The point you are missing is that you are discrediting McDermott’s 9 win season because he had several wins against sub par QB’s. But he also had a subpar QB in Tyrod Taylor. Taylor was awful and showed it with the next 7 teams he played for.
The 2017 team was one of the worst rosters in the NFL. -

Any coach that has JA17 as their QB should have won multiple super bowls by now. Instead, he has left us with 13 seconds and failed tush-pushes to argue about
Matt Eberflus would have won multiple Super Bowls with Allen?

Keon Coleman....I think he's going to have a great camp.
Lets see if it continues in the regular season.

Payton has been good for a long time though. He went to the NFC Championship after 2006 and took an undermanned Broncos team to the playoffs in 2024. He won a Super Bowl in between then and should have went again 5 years ago. I think Payton is an offensive genius. He’s an idiot but he’s an arrogant genius. He doesn’t tense up in the biggest moments. He pushes his chips in.
Payton is known to be a choker. I believe he's 4-7 in the playoffs since the Super Bowl win. 3 straight 1st round losses, one to a team below .500 and also the first ever 13-3 team to lose in the first round.....
He had Drew Brees...

Yeah, exactly.
And as I said before, I don’t hold anything against McD for 2017. He did a fine job. I just don’t give him huge kudos for going 9-7 against an absolutely awful schedule and falling ass-backward into the playoffs.
So you believe our 2017 had much more talent than teams like the Falcons and Chiefs, who both made the playoffs that year in 2017....were to be easy wins?

I remember.
I remember going to the playoffs with the same record that we missed out on the playoffs twice during the drought.I remember only having that record because we played the easiest schedule ever, facing Josh McCown, David Fales, Trevor Siemian, Jameis Winston, Jacoby Brissett, Derek Carr, Alex Smith, Matt Ryan, and Jay Cutler.
I remember needing Andy Dalton to save us.
This is nothing against McD… just saying that year proves nothing imo.
So you're saying that with Tyrod Taylor, we had the better QB in all those games and all those should have been easy wins?

I stood next to Duke Preston at a hotel lobby at an away Bills game. I remember thinking, you don't look very stout.

I heard Josh Stamer used to get in bar fights around Buffalo.

Bills fans who pretend Lamar Jackson isn’t a good QB also pretend Cam Newton wasn’t a good QB
I think Lamar Jackson is a great QB.
I think Cam Newton was a below average QB.
Which category does this fit in?

Josh Allen is going to do to Natrol what Michael Jordan did to Nike.
Pretty soon kids are going to be fighting over taking Natrol and going to sleep earlier.
Josh Allen is going to help parents have more sex now.

I honestly agree. But I would make the pitchers wear a hard helmet. A roided up slugger is going to hit missiles at 90 feet. These hitters are even better.

People are too quick to blame mental illness for stuff like that. If a guy has schizoprehnic delusions that cause him to burn down a building, okay that is a case where mental illness was responsible. But not too many mentally ill people out there are grabbing a security officer's gun outside of a club and shooting at someone they're having an argument with. That is just run of the mill bad person behavior. Antonio Brown is a bad person. Don't muddy the waters by even bringing his supposed "mental illness" into it.
I agree with this too. One of the ex-Steelers said in an interview, he saw the signs and pointed it out before AB got famous. He told someone that once this dude gets money, he's going to be a problem.
McDermott not in Top 10 of NFL coaches per PFF.

2-2 is imploding? So I guess we could say the Bills imploded in the middle of the season right? Dolphins got lucky the Bills imploded or the Bills would have locked up the division by November. See I can spit that crap too.
Oh, they got extremely lucky on a special teams big play? We were down by 7....oooooh. Good teams never trail in the 4th in a do or die game I guess.
I mean we won the game with the division on the line and the Bills got lucky. Talk about an agenda lol.
Incredible take? So Taylor has shown in his career that he can take a team to the divisional or conference final round?
Is your definition "deep into the playoffs" Super Bowl and that's it? Conference Championship games aren't deep into the playoffs?
