The irritating thing about the choice route tonight is both options were wide open. If Gabe runs inside the CB its paydirt. If Josh throws the post its paydirt. That said, thats three miscommunications in three weeks. There has been 1 every game for almost a month, not good.

McDermott has done a ton for this organization. If you cant admit that then you're being incredibly myopic. I wont argue that Allen is more important to the organization, that goes without saying. My issue is, it is so easy for everyone here to say "we need to fire McDermott" or your "We can find ten more McDermott's in 1 off-seasons" and thats just not accurate. Changing the coach after one down season just because maybe it will make the situation better isnt always the way to go. What those of you who want him gone fail to say is, it could always get worse. I've said it before 521 coaches have been hired in the NFL, only 6% of them have won a Super Bowl. Its not that easy to hire a good coach. FIre the guy sure, but dont pretend he hasnt done a ton for this organization.

What I dont want to do is take a chance on a young coordinator. If you move on from McDermott go get JIm Harbaugh.

That said, he's throwing to those same wide outs. He's earned the picks. Again, wouldnt trade the guy for the world but he has earned every pick he has thrown.

He leads the league in Interceptions. Hes thrown at least one in 8 straight games. Hes a great quarterback but if you think anyone should be confident he wont throw the ball to the other team you're wrong.

Maybe if the QB has given the coach any confidence that he wouldnt throw the ball to the other team or the kicker had shown that he can kick a long field goal the coach would have went for it. If Allen throws a int and loses the game everyone is on McDermott for going for it.

Its not all on McDermott. If Bass doesnt play like garbage again, we have four more points. If Allen doesnt throw an interception at his own 30 yard line, Bills probably arent in the same situation. Its on the entire team. Its a confederacy of dunces right now.

Outclassed? Lol. My God man

Was a big fan in my twenties but stopped watching it pretty quickly after college. The only episode I've seen in the last ten years is the Wade Boggs challenge and it was hilarious.

He's the best QB in the NFL by quite a bit. Allen may be the most physically gifted but he isn't on the same level s Mahomes.

Is Aikman really going to try and justify that pick route...

Never. He never adjusts...ever?

If you draw them off you get a field goal try. If you don't you take the delay and have more room to pin them back. It's not a huge deal but it's part of coaching.

Maybe Diggs brother can tweet him during the game to teach him how to beat a dominate CB.

Los Angeles Rams.

Pitt.

I think you could very well see a much different secondary for Buffalo next year. I dont expect White, Hyde, or Dane Jackson to be back.

This board is absolutely insane sometimes. When the head coach comes out and says the exact same things we have been saying for the better part of a year in a half, suddenly they are "weird comments" or "McDermott is acting like a guy who is under pressure and its not good for the team."

Completely agree. Its the same garbage every game anyways. Honestly they could do away with all the pre-game/post-game stuff at this point. Just start the game a half hour earlier.

Or we could just wait for the Giants to fire him and bring him back as OC.

Don't see a lot of hatchet heads on TV. But I am sure she thinks she is there because of her journalistic prowess.

Ravens Wideouts are impressive. The speed and YAC is something I am not use to seeing.

Refs really need to get their stuff together. Taking the fun out of football.

He missed the playoffs three years straight. Can you imagine what the reaction would be here?

Its always funny to me how distance skews the view of NFL fans. Granted Harbaugh has a Super Bowl win under his belt, but his first six years in the league are almost identical to McDermott's. Yet McDermott is a giant failure and Harbaugh is elite.
