Bills are treading water. Way too many vets have been signed to cover the play younger players they brought in. Beane doesn’t like to give up draft picks for proven players but will sign a guy on his last leg after the player he drafted struggles to get on the field. They ain’t improving because of it.

Can’t argue, Diggs really didn’t play like a #1 the second half of the season

First of all the Buffalo offense needs some big-time help in terms of better wide receivers. It's not just the injuries to the defense that held the Chiefs to 27 points.
The Buffalo Bills against the Chiefs in this past playoff game didn't have an offensive play for more than 20 yards and the longest play was a run by Josh Allen.
WTF happened to that vaunted Buffalo passing game we all saw in 2020?
Diggs took the last few playoffs off for whatever reason, Davis was out injured and the only guys who did well were the TEs and Shakir who was in the slot. The others stunk it up.
Buffalo desperately needs a new #1 WR and a #2 WR with one who can get open all the time and one that is a deep burner.If Josh Allen had that this season in the playoffs the Bills would be headed to the AFC Championship game along with a possible SB.
The GM thought Gabe was a #2, then he doubled down and blamed his inconsistent play on an ankle injury in the off-season. Shakir is starting to show promise, hopefully he does’t take that for granted this off season. We need way better play out of that position. -

More I think about it the more I want McDaniels. Guy is proven, he even had McCorkle looking like a decent QB. He also won’t be poached for a HC job any time soon.

Williams is great at running and hitting. He just has no idea where he should be. Klein never blows an assignment but looks like his legs move in treacle.
I said it before the game - there was no good solution. When you are down to linebackers 5 and 6 there rarely is. That is the NFL. Nobody has functional depth going to their third string at a spot.
Personally I like the guy who has the tools to make the plays despite some mistakes over the guy who might be smarter but just doesn’t have it physically. I agree it’s not a good situation either way though

To Patrick Mahomes x2 and Joe Burrow. We are losing to fighters in Allen's weight class so to speak. Now I get it is frustrating as hell losing to them.... and we have had our chances to beat them. Including on Sunday when for all the failures Josh and the offense had the chance to go and win the game at the end. They didn't execute.
Easy. That rookie can't call the defense and has struggled to even line up right. Twice in the Steelers game and once in his limited snaps agains the Chiefs he was clearly in the wrong spot and teammates were trying to move him as the offense snapped the ball. If you'd have started him the Chiefs would have gone right after him too. It is the result of being down to your third string linebackers.
Oddly enough the rookie made a solid play on third down late in the game chipping rice on the cross route. It was a bad penalty by the refs that kept the drive alive. Then he backed it up on the next third down taking Mahommes down near the sidelines.🤷🏼♂️ This D is full of vets all over the board except the LBer position, surely there could be help in communication to make sure the best player is on the field. Klien was ***** terrible, you’re right about that. Looked like he was still on vacation . The whole defense is vets, there gotta to be a better way.

You don't buy it?
I suppose you missed the part where a guy off the street was starting at linebacker for Buffalo in this past playoff game. He shouldn't have even been on the team, he was dreadful. What other NFL team could hold the KC Chiefs to 3 points with so many injured on defense? And the team still could have moved on had Bass made that FG. Let's not also forget that Buffalo OC Joe Brady was a rookie play-caller this season.
The Buffalo D line went invisible in this game (save Groot, Von). Rasoul Douglas was still nicked up. Dane Jackson was a disaster. No pass rush on Mahomes at all. I have no answer as to why the Buffalo defensive line was nowhere to be found...none! But I don't blame the HC for them stinking it up. Need some new players IMO.
BTW, What the hell happened to WR Stephon Diggs in this game? 8 targets, and 3 receptions for 21 yards in a playoff game of this importance. Injured or just worn out? No idea myself. Not blaming the HC though.
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.

Only losers think and play like that. Put KC in our shoes and they run the clock down to nothing and win as football 101 strategy dictates you should. It's not like Josh doesn't have a career's worth of these mental mistakes already to look back on.
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

You're the coach. You've been running out the play clock. You're at the 25 yard line. You have a first down with 2:00 left on the clock. What do you do to win the game? How would you play that? Remember, you've been burning clock all drive to keep the ball out of the opponent's hands because you don't trust your defense. What do you do there coach?
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.

I'm not sure I buy the loss is "on the offense" but for all of everything that happened in the game to that point you are absolutely right that at the 2:00 warning the Bills were right where they would have wanted to be. In FG territory already, with control of the ball and the clock and the game in Josh Allen's hands. They just couldn't execute on those two plays coming out of the 2 minute warning. On 2nd down if any one of the three things happens: 1. Dion holds his block another split second; 2. Shakir clears coverage slightly quicker (he just gets held up long enough); or 3. Josh is just able to manoeuvre another 6 inches of space in the pocket to get his throw away...... then the Bills score.
The defense played a poor game, undermanned and our executed. But the offense had the chance to make that all moot at the end and failed to execute themselves.
Your still around in this thread 😂

Ehhh...makes no difference if McDermott is here or not. This team starts and ends with Josh Allen NOT McDermott.
John Elway finally won Super Bowls with a new coach.
So did Peyton Manning.
and Steve Young.
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. -

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.

In fairness, it was really Shakir who replaced McKenzie in the lineup with about the same percentage of snap counts with slightly more production but Shakir was way more efficient.
Harty only played like 13 percent of the offensive snaps, which was disappointing and a clear bust. Sherfield was a liability and on the field too much. Combined they played about 46 percent of the snaps.
Harty was that guy early though, Shakir stole the spot from him though.-

It will be hard to be less productive than Sherfield and Harty's combined stats of 26 catches for 236 and 2 Tds.
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.

All we have done is win since he arrived. He took the Bills to the playoffs prior to Josh arriving while ending the drought. He’s won the AFCE for four straight years. He has the highest winning percentage of ANY coach in franchise history. I don’t like whiney people who constantly need instant gratification.
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.

This is pretty dumb. Imagine telling your head coach, hey, we are going to see if something better is out there. Sit tight. Why are people's brains broken?
14 hours ago, WhoTom said:Ah, yes. I remember the time I told my then-fiance, "I'm going to explore other options for a wife over the next few weeks, but if I don't find anyone better, then I'll marry you."
She left that night and never returned, but I'm sure it was just a coincidence.
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.
