You act like this has been the only time his D was a no show in the playoffs. Why don’t ask McD why he chose Klein to start over a rookie who was active all year. I’d like to know myself. 3 playoff games against the Chiefs, not one sack or Int. They average over 35 points in those games and have generated 1 turnover. For a coach who keeps pushing “we gotta win the turnover battle” down everyone’s throats how do they do that if they can’t force any? His system is soft. They get exposed every year in the playoffs. It’s the reason why they choke in the final minutes of play when the game is on the line.

Like to get a guy who can get the best out of Joshs arm and not his running ability. He can do it all but I’d rather him do it in a way that prolongs his career.

Really? In the 13 second game they had no fear at all in scoring fast and leaving time on the clock. They seen an opportunity and took it. Left the Bills a minute on the clock. That’s football. More then one guy is expected to do their job

You take the shot when it presents itself because you may never get another opportunity. I got no trust in the D but it’s still the right play. That’s the problem with this team, Josh is expected to do way too much because other guys can’t do their job. Thats on McD Asking Josh to pass up his shot because McDs D is a liability is ridiculous. What if the next play the oline gives out more and Josh is sacked? Maybe they tip his next ball and it turn into an INT. Who ***** knows how it pans out. Asking the D to do their job is not unreasonable. It’s part of the game. The fact that this is still getting talked about tells you how bad this D has been in crucial situations over the years and why MCD should be canned.

Half assing it…. I really didn’t like how Diggs handled the question about his brother’s tweets earlier in the season. I believe he wants out and the passion to give it his all every play wasn’t there

Everyone keeps saying they were running out the clock but that’s how they moved the ball on every drive. It wasn’t just this drive. They never just stopped pushing the ball downfield they couldn’t do it all game. When they did have opportunities the WRs never made the catch. The 2nd and 9 was another one of those opportunities, this time targeting our most reliable WR. The WR was open, the olay was there and the protection never held up. The only time they moved fast all game was the last few minutes before half when they when no huddle.

Your still around in this thread 😂

Not when McD keeps using the resources for his D. After last year the biggest thing we needed was WR help. After they completely bombed in FA filling the holes what did they do at trade deadline, go out and repair McDs D.

Cry about it muffin

There is way too much invested in this D to fold in the biggest situations. That is what is holding this team back and that’s 100% on McD. They fold against the Chiefs in playoffs, the Bengals every time they face them and just about everyone else in the final 2 minutes of games.

Harty was that guy early though, Shakir stole the spot from him though.

Isiah McKenzie had better stats than both combined

As much as everyone wants to give Brady all the props for everything Bill has ever done, those first 3 Superbowls has a lot more to with coaching then QB play. And throughout the years the systems his teams played were constantly changing to the strengths of the players on both sides of the ball. ***** he went 12-4 with Matt Cassel, that’s more impressive than 9-7 with Tyrod Taylor. 😂 How do you think the Peterman season would have went if lasted 16 games instead of 2 quarters? 😂 McD and Beane are now searching to make one or two more plays so the can get over the obstacle in front of them, the Chiefs. That’s still not the ultimate goal, it’s a bump along way. Have they played to their players strengths or continually tried to fit a square peg in a round hole? They continue drafting high D players and then go grab vets to the job for them. The team just ain’t moving forward. Right now we got a freak at QB that has taken this team as far as he can without more help around him.

What about the other two times they eliminated us in the playoffs and our D gave up 36 and 42 points? Can’t blame injuries on those games.

What has he done to prove he can get by the Chiefs in the playoffs? That’s all that matters at this point. You gotta keep moving forward and the Bills are just treading water.

They really don’t gotta tell him anything. He’s paid to do a job and and even though he has had some success the job hasn’t got done. If they feel they want to see if there is someone else available that can finish the job he started that’s up to him. Obviously if they are looking for them it might be best to be straight forward with him. They save more money if he quits then they would firing him.

Crazy eh. Then again it’s the defense that has let the team down in the games we been eliminated so it’s kind of on Hyde and Poyers shoulders as well. 🤷🏼‍♂️

McD and Beane saying in their interviews that we gotta find a way to make one or two more plays to get where they wanna be has lost me. They are basically saying they have been good enough. Zero sacks and Ints in 3 playoff games against Mahommes is not close to good enough, it’s a recipe for losing.

Dude had like 3 kids in the month of December with different women and HE’s filing for divorce. 😂

That’s bull####. We basically see the Chiefs twice a year, McD is suppose to be a defensive guru and nothing has changed in January when its win or go home. Bills fork so much resources into that D that the injury excuse is total bull####. He started LBer that wasn’t on the team two weeks ago and spent most of the year on PS over a young player who was active every ***** week. That ***** just does not make sense. And the Kelce first TD where he was wide open it looked a lot like it was Kleins fault

It all ended the same way though.

The talking heads don’t focus on the game, they focus on what will boost their agenda the next day. What will make what they said previously look correct. Listen to Ryan Clarke, he’s played on a great defense for the majority of his career and can’t acknowledge that the Bills D has let Josh down.

I hate the 7 team setup. Hate the 17 games as well

Only watched McD so far and I don’t expect any big changes. To be honest I’m more disappointed in the season now than I was before. The hot streak really didn’t matter at the end and making the #2 didn’t matter either because the season ended at the same point as usual. At this point getting there is not the goal, it’s the expectation. Winning while there is the goal and this team continues to fail. Josh said it perfectly the other day, only one team finishes the season happy. I don’t see McD taking this team to the Superbowl

My view has not changed since last year. We need a change. He’s done a great job here but we need a better final result. We have a top of the league QB and we have built this team around McDs D and the unit folds at the worst times. I get the injuries but I’m sick of the excuses. How many games we lose this year after the O put them ahead late? How many games we need a stop to get one more opportunity and the opposing team run out the clock? I don’t expect perfection out of either unit but these are the situations that decide games. Even the other night, Bills knew what was coming at them after the missed FG and they just got pushed around again. Something has to change. Last year we had a problem at WR and they went out and got unproven scrubs to fill the hole. Guys who showed flashes but never proven to be consistent. Something they did with the Oline for years. Meanwhile with Von down for a bit, McD got his proven vet in Floyd. At trade deadline when the Wr position was still a huge problem, did the O get help? ***** no, they traded for Douglas and signed Joseph to help Dline. How many 1st and 2nd day picks we got invested in that Dline anyway? A lot of people complaining about not bleeding out the clock. This staff has continually put the needs of D above the O but in the biggest moments people are scared to put that unit on the field. For good reason obviously but it is totally ***** up and has everything to do with this coaching staff. Bills need a change.
