This can’t possibly be The Process. Come on McD! Tell these guys to knock it off.

Nantz and Romo….horrific!

Is there no circumstance when the NFL starts cutting down on the commercials? This is awful television.

Tony Romo is exhausting. Tony take a breath and at least watch what’s going on for a second. Geeeez!

Can we lose the stupid blue pants now?

Dorsey never figured out you could leverage a running QB if you just force the defensive player to make a choice on the edge.

This team is what they are….a mediocre roster trying to back into a wildcard spot.

That play call was terrible!

What a freaking mess!

Coach McD right back to helping the opposition by calling time outs. Brilliant!

They are way too small.

Really poor tackling technique by these guys.

Can we please fire the special teams coach? Please!

Where is Dick Jauron when we need him?

And from what we can see, Von has literally no bend in his pass rush AT ALL.

Nobody has any idea. Between the horrible television coverage and Romo rambling on about nothing….it’s impossible to watch this game.

You’ll never know. The television coverage is horrible like always. Someone needs to teach these directors that there’s an actual game being played. Sheeesh

I’d rather he got his head out of his arse.

Josh Allen is terrible. What happened to this kid?

Somebody please tell me when we get to the fair weather. I’ve seen lots of weather in my over 60 years of watching the Bills. I’m not sure how much of it would be categorized as fair. 😉

In baseball they traditionally have a Closer who comes in from the bullpen; and recently they’ve experimented with an Opener who does the same. Is there any chance the Bills could do that with McD? Get a guy who can prepare the team to come out swinging, and another guy who’ll make the strategically correct decisions in crunch time. McD can coach the middle 56 minutes of the game. Problem solved. 😉

I can’t recall exactly who it was but didn’t a QUARTERBACK recently start a game having had less than a week on a team? How complex is this offense? Or how dense is this running back?

Exactly! Everybody WANTS TO win. The Bills problem, at least under McDermott anyway, is the their heads haven’t been in the moment, in the moment. Way, way, way too many foolish mistakes at crunch time. The really good teams and their coaches learn to stay focused at those crucial moments. It’s as if time stands still for them. There’s no pressure. No crowd noise. No thoughts about what happens if we fail. They’re simply undistracted. Very, very few people have that skill set. It is NOT luck!

We’re all going to see. One thing I’ve learned is that some people are fixers, others are builders, and still others are resilient leaders, etc. The circumstances around McD have changed. The upward trend is definitely over! Can he adapt? Does he know what to do when the upward trend reaches its natural conclusion. You believe he will. I simple don’t.

Thanks for the reasoned response. I don't spend much time thinking about why McDermott does what he does. Having watched the results, it seems like an utter waste of my time. I firmly believe it is time for the Bills to move on. Not because I think the Coach is a bad person, or because I don't think he's in large part gotten them where they need to go, but I have learned from my own professional experience that people simply plateau. I believe McD has reached that plateau and is completely out of ideas. Could he take some time somewhere on a beach and have some sort of an epiphany? Sure....business leaders do. But where the Bills are right now in the arc of Josh Allen's career I'm not sure their better wouldn't be to move on and get someone who already knows what to do. Will it work? Maybe. Maybe not. But McD has shown my next to nothing in the past two or three years now that makes me think a personal epiphany is in the works.
