    I knew our defense in the playoffs was bad, but I didn't realize it was at this level of bad.

     

    These are our DVOA rankings since 2020, which are all above average with 2021 and 2022 being elite. 

     

    2020: 11th

    2021: 2nd

    2022: 1st

    2023: 12th

     

    This is EPA allowed in our playoff losses along with the EPA each of these teams posted in other playoff games that same year.  I included how that EPA ranked on the season for that team. 

     

    Kansas City 2023: vs Buffalo, 11.85 EPA 5th best on the season

    Other playoff games that year: Miami EPA 9.58, 7th best

     

    Bengals 2022: vs Buffalo, 22.03 EPA, 3rd best on the season

    Other Playoff games that year: KC 4.06 EPA 10th best, Ravens .7 EPA 16th best

     

    Kansas City 2021: vs Buffalo, 32.62 EPA, 3rd best on the season

    Other playoff games that year: Steelers 16.09 EPA, 9th best, Bengals 11.28 EPA 12th best

     

    Kansas City 2020: Vs Buffalo, 30.34 1st best on the season

    Other playoff games that year: Browns 19.09 EPA 9th best, Tampa Bay: -7.90 EPA 19th best

     

    For context, Kansas City has not had an EPA in the 20's in a playoff game one time since 2020 but they have had 2 games vs us in the 30's.  The Bengals have not had a offensive EPA over 10 in any playoff game in the Burrow era but they had one in the 20's against us. It's not just that we underperform, it's that we allow historically excellent performances from these teams with a defense that rates either above average or far above average in the regular season.

    Should he just get over it? Or can you finally answer "What makes you think McDermott can get us to the Superbowl?"

    If you want McD gone you have to think that Harbaugh needs to go too right?

     

    After all no hc qb combo has won a sb after 5 years together.

     

    After all he is 1-2 as the 1 seed since 2019.

     

    After all he is 2-4 in the postseason since 2018. 

     

    After all he has only made it to 1 afc championship with one of the most electric qbs in the game.

     

    After all he has a 2 time mvp qb and has only won 1 division title in the last 4 years.

     

    After all he has lost to a washed up philip rivers and ryan tannehil in the playoffs!

     

    After all he has a 1-3 playoff record at home since 2018.

     

    So if you wamt McD gone for underperforming and losing to the chiefs 3 of 4 years certainly you think Harbaugh is trash and needs to go to right? 

     

    The Bills and McD have outperformed them over the last 6 years and the Ravens have the benefit of the mvp and 3 first team all pros this year vs the Bills single 2nd team all pro yet still lost to the same team at home as the Bills did.

     

    Or does a super bowl 11 years ago followed by a single afc title game appearance this year carry that much water? 

     

    Recent history and performance clearly favors McD so I am very interested to hear opinions of Harbaugh and whether he should keep his job or be fired.

    He doesn't have Josh Allen..

     

    He has a running QB that can't throw outside the numbers and is VERY limited throwing the ball... he also isn't a DC that has his Defenses fold in critical situations... These two are not linear.

    where is there a tantrum? I’ve asked you 2 questions. You can’t answer them, so you deflect, name call and have excuses. 
     

    literally picture perfect from someone who doesn’t even believe what their saying and knows they're wrong. 

    I'm sure you are REALLY fun at parties and a great conversationalist, bubba!

    You’re operating under the assumption that there is no chance that McDermott can win a Super Bowl.  I don’t operate under that assumption and I feel that your reactions to views opposing yours have been juvenile.  

    I've asked you several questions and you haven't answered. 

     

    So "Get over it" and telling someone on a football forum discussing their head coach is "crying and whining" isn't juvenile? interesting take bubbaccino ..

     

    let's try again:

     

    -What makes you think we can win a SB with McDermott? 

    -What big games has he won? (No play off games against Skylar, Mason Rudolph, Mac Jones, don't count)

    That's obvious sarcasm from Chaos.

    Jesus, I hope so.

    Yes- it will be whining and crying in month 2.  Like clockwork

    So we should just accept that our head coach can't win big games?

     

    You're ok with NEVER winning a super bowl with Josh Allen at QB? Or is that whining and crying too? 

     

    You're cool with participation trophies?

    Josh needs to stop scoring so fast.  For example if he hadn't scored so fast against the Bronco's the Bills would not have had the opportunity to get 12 men on the field to grasp defeat from the jaws of victory. 

    LMFAO! Our offense needs to stop scoring... 

     

    WTF? Do you hear yourself....? You're also making excuses.. Josh needs to stop scoring so fast because our Head Coaches defense cant stop the offense LOL

    A losers mentality in your mind-  but the reality of the situation is, McD IS our coach.  He’s going to be our coach and there’s nothing you can do about it.  Reality.  So get over it….. or just continue to whine and cry about something that you cannot change

    Got it, so discussing on a FOOTBALL forum.. about OUR TEAMS head coach... and his short comings using actual subjective instances is whining and crying? 


    So we should all be happy that our head coach who is our defensive coordinator can't win a big game?

    So the only good coaches the past several years are Andy Reid, Sean McVay, and whoever was coaching Brady?

    What makes McDermott a good coach? 

    His defenses have CRUMBLED when it matters most, why is this hard to understand ?

     

    Has Andy Reid's offense routinely failed in big stages? Has Sean McVay's?  No, McDermott's defense does as a routine

    Get over it

    Loser's mentality. 

    "Get over it" because we go to the playoffs is settling. We will not and have not and never will win a big game / SB with McDermott as our HC

     

    We may never see another player like Josh Allen in a Bills uniform, our coach can't get us over the hump and you're response is "get over it" hahahahaha.

     If you read my post I addressed the postseason so we agree on that. However I don’t agree he can’t win big games.  Understood there are no Lombardi in the cabinet but he won a lot of big games. 
     

    what logic are you referring to to get Tua and his turning Miami?   I responded to a snarky comment that McDermott does. It know defense.  They have not done well in the playoff games they have been eliminated. 

     

    McDermott is 1-5 in Play off games against QBs that dont have a back up QB. What big game has McDermott won?

    So the defense kept them in the game?  They have not been blown out in over a year.  Also Josh has pretty much had his full offense all year but the defense has been short since the first Miami game

    No, the defense has failed when it mattered most. 

     

    No the defense wasn't short. It lost Milano.. every team deals with injuries. we brought in Rasul Douglas who was better than Tre.

    The reality is there is only 1 thing this team has not done and no one will be happy until that one thing happens.  People talking about coaching in clutch situations might be right but there is a ton of evidence McDermott is a great coach.  

    Yeah? How far did that get us in the post season against good teams? He cant win big games. 

     

     

    Using this same logic. Tua is the QB of the future of Miami, yeah? 1st in yards and points?

    Can you tell me our W/L record in games Josh has multiple TO’s?

    15 and 19 in his career. 

     

    What's your point? Josh is an issue? 

     

    Again,  regardless of his turnovers, we were tied and/or leading in 4/6 games we lost this year last time he stepped on the field... what's your angle here bubbaccino? 

    15 minutes ago, MikeSpeed said:

    I am not a McD apologist, but I do think for the most part he is a good HC. What does drive me crazy is when he calls time out when he see the other team's O line up and he doesn't like the play call on D. All that happens is the other team changes the call too and they still convert. You may as well save the time out.

    Which makes him..... not a good head coach 

    19 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said:

    Thats just ridiculous. Hes one of the best defensive coaches in the league. One of the best head coaches. He’s just not good in close games.

    Which makes him.... not a good head coach. It doesnt matter if you beat subpar teams. You don't win a SB beating subpar teams.

  11. The Bills lost 6 times in the regular season. 

     

    In 4 of those losses, the last time Josh Allen saw the field, the Bills were either winning or tied. 


    Further proof that McDermott's defense and his soft conservative coaching style in crunch situations will continue to hinder this team. 

     

    EDIT: Wanted to add, The Milwaukee Bucks fired their coach after starting the season 30-13. Winning organizations recognize when change needs to be made. The Chiefs got rid of Alex Smith after a 13-3 (maybe 11-5) season. Pegula needs to recognize that McDermott is good enough to get us a division win and to the divisional round (if we're playing back up QBs) and that's about it.

    I was just reading the average time a coach is given in the NFL to be a winner is 3 years and that fits with Bills fans wanting McD gone, the drought years in B/Lo that was about as long as any of the coaches stayed and it took 17 years well Ralph fired 1 of the better coaches we had but from then till now was way to long . 

     

    I never understood why any owner would fire a winning coach even if they have a bad season i would rather be a winner and make the play offs than be on the out side looking in . 

     

    If your not in the play offs you have no chance of making it to the big game at least if your in it you have a better chance at winning it . 

     

    To this point the 13 second game was the best this team has looked, i think that laps was more on Frazier playing like a prevent D rather than being aggressive & that is one big reason why Frazier is gone & McD took over because he realized although being #1 D in the NFL is a good thing crunch time is when it counts .

     

    But i as a Bills fan would be totally happy with 1 SB win yes yes yes ...  But i am not willing to go backwards to get it !

     

    There is no guarantee by changing the HC that they have any better chance at getting there than with what they have here now . The stability to me is huge which i feel is one reason why teams like the Steelers, Baltimore, Bills, Pats (for a long time) and other teams are successful because they don't have a  lot of change when they find something that works .

    Fair point. I don't think we can win with McDermott but I also agree that firing him wouldn't NECESSARILY mean the new coach would be an upgrade

    No one has a long long time in the NFL but we have a good amount of time with Josh being what 27 ? How long did it take Elway to win a championship & he retired when he was 38 so there's 11 years if Josh stays healthy .

     

    Favre was 41 some say he stayed to long but he was Farve till the end you could never count the guy out . So it's not like Josh only has 3 more years, sure i would like just the same as all the Bills fans to win a SB but i'm not willing to continually start all over with the coaching thing .

     

    We lived 17 years of that crap & we finally have a good team as far as Beane & McD and the Pegs are willing to give them each everything they need to win, so i'll live right where we are until they get there or just can't have winning seasons & think they will get there .

    I understand what you're saying but do you really want to be a Rodgers and McCarthy situation? 1 SB in 13 years with Aaron Rodgers is REPULSIVE. 

     

    I was saying that using the fact that Andy Reid took a while to get there so it's "OK" that we do is absolutely a loser mentality and should not be acceptable.

    Name me ONE YEAR in which we lost as many defenders on a Bills team that we did and won a tough playoff game.

     

    I'm sorry, so you're going back THAT FAR to prove a point?

     

    Wow, you need some non peed on Cheerios before you post any more nonsense.

    Explain.. did we find McDermotts burner account? 
     

    so 9.5 yards per play is acceptable? 9 plays of 20+ yards is acceptable? What’s your angle here? Or are you just so in love with the team you don’t see faults and / or change where it needs to happen. 
     

    you GENUINELY believe we can win a SB with McDermott?

    Normally I am a it's McD's fault person, but NOT THIS TIME... our defense was at 50% and we almost beat Mahomes. They were a MASH unit out there, NO Tre, NO Milano, NO Bernard, Douglas clearly not at 100%, Taron Johnson just coming back right before the game... you are looking for some perfect defensive performance when it's not going to happen!

    So .. 9 plays of 20+ yards,

     

    and 9.5 yards PER PLAY is acceptable? GTFOH 

     

    PS go look at the giants roster when they played us. We should have lost that game. They were down 6 starters on both sides of the ball and one was their QB. LOL This is the NFL, these are professional players and every team has injuries. 9+ 20 yard plays and AVERAGING a first down a play is unacceptable.

    So if the Chiefs beat the Ravens, is John Harbaugh suddenly the one who "sh**ts his pant in these games", the very same man that won a Super Bowl?!?!?

    Has our coach won a SB?

     

    Are you saying McDermott doesn’t fall short in big games? I can point to 2 this year and 5 really important ones in 5 years .. where HIS defense flopped.

    Let's not forget Andy Reid's playoff history before Mahomes.

     

    How many NFC playoff games did he lose with those Eagles teams? Then a few more with the Chiefs. It took him a long, long time to get where he is now. 

     

    McDermott doesn't have the wins now, but Reid made the playoffs a dozen times before getting over the hump (yes, he did make a SB appearance with the Eagles once too).

    We don’t have a “long long time” with Josh Allen in his prime. If you’re saying you’re ok with waiting to win (when we have the talent right now to do it) because Andy Reid had failures, you are absolutely insane.
