    So let’s fast forward to February 2025. The Bills either beat the Chiefs in a nail biter or somehow escape the bracket without having to face them. They win the AFCCG against the Texans or Ravens or whoever.

     

    Then we get to the big one. It’s versus the Eagles or the Cowboys (lol). And it’s a competitive game. A couple plays don’t go our way (defensively, turnovers whatever) and we lose. 
     

    Do we still think Sean McDermott is a loser wasting our golden boys’ prime? Or is he still a good, but unlucky, coach?

    I'll put this in terms that anyone can understand.  McDermott should achieve, at least once, what Bill Belichick and Andy Reid have done multiple times: a Super Bowl victory. If he doesn't, he's no better than any other coach the Bills have had.  Right now, to me, he's the Marvin Lewis of Marty Schottenheimers, until complete post season success is achieved.  A bit harsh of me?  Yep.

    This is tough for me.  Normally, I would say they should make the change this offseason.  But then again, what are we really asking for here?  We are looking for someone to do what no one else can.  I'd argue that McD plays Reid better than any other coach.  We scored more points against the Chiefs than anyone else did in the playoffs, same in prior years.  

     

    With that being said, you're asking do we drop the #2 coach for a hopeful coach that can do what no one else has.  

     

    I'm not sure how to answer that honestly.  

    I'd counterargue that Josh has scored more points against the Chiefs and Reid seems to outcoach McD in the playoffs.

    Patience is a virtue.  That is not in dispute. 
    So it is arguable that the more patience one has the more virtuous one is being. 
    This poll is a test of your virtue. 

    More undisputed facts:

    • Sean McDermott Bills head coach since 2017
    • The Bills have made the playoffs 6 of those 7 years
    • The Bill have not made it to the super bowl in any of those 7 years. 
    • Only three NFL head coaches (Reid, Tomlin, Harbaugh) have been with their teams longer (all have coached Super Bowl champions in their career)
    • Two other coaches have the same number of years (McVay, Shanahan) Both have been to the Super Bowl twice. One has won a Super Bowl (weaker NFC)

     

    Generally speaking teams in the NFL do not seem to be patient with coaches.  Teams have fired relatively recent super bowl winners (Pederson, Bellichek, Riveria for example). Teams have fired other coaches that made the playoffs numerous times.  Some teams have been more patient (Shottenheimer, Marvin Lewis, Dan Reeves spring to mind) 

    This poll is intended to record your level of virtue.  The bigger the number you pick, the more virtuous you are. 

    Personally, I'd bring in Belichick and try to steal Chris Jones from the Chiefs.

    The recent back and forth whether to move on from McDermott because he “can’t get us over the hump” takes me back to one game: Super Bowl XXVII against the Dallas Cowboys.  The Bills had an up and down 1992 season, failing to win the division and losing Kelly to injury last game of the season.  The playoffs, however, were memorable, starting with the Comeback against the Oilers, followed by impressive road wins against the Steelers with Reich again at QB, and the Dolphins, with Kelly back at QB.  
     

    The Super Bowl, however, was a debacle and an embarrassment.  No question Cowboys had a very strong team and frankly a better team.  It shouldn’t have been a blowout.  It’s interesting to look at stats and play-by-play from the game.  Bills had more first downs and total yardage was relatively close.  Final score - 52 - 17!  Two key sequences. Down 14 - 7, Bills has second and goal from Dallas one.  Two runs and an interception followed.  Later, Bills down 21 - 7, Bills had first and goal inside the Dallas 5 and settled for a FG.  That was pretty much all she wrote.  The embarrassing part was that the Bills fumbled eight times and lost five and threw four interceptions, two each by Kelly and Reich.  Nine turnovers in the biggest game of the year!!!! 
     

    It’s hard to imagine a less well prepared team going into a big game.  Levy was a good coach, not a great coach. It was clear after that game that he’d never lead the Bills to a SB win.  Do you fire a coach who has led you to three straight SB’s?  In hindsight, the answer is, yeah you probably do.  Blow it up and let your GM start the rebuild. Instead we fire the GM and keep the coach.

     

    Does this give any insight to our present situation?  I think yes.  McDermott should be on the hot seat this year.  Super Bowl or bust.  If we don’t do in 2024, time to move on.

    This, right here.  It was tough enough trying to beat Brady back in the day but when all you have to do is take the touchback,.......ugh.

    Why do the Bills always play this song on gamedays?  The song is 20yrs old and, as far as I’m aware, has zero relevance to Buffalo. 
     

    In my opinion, playing this song comes off as tacky, outdated and simply put:  embarrassing. 
     

    1. Why do we play this song?

    2. Who is responsible for selecting the playlist on game days. 
     

    Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Those stats are a lot better than Lamar’s playoff stats that’s for sure.

    But Mahomes is nearly unbeatable in the playoffs and that’s the wall keeping Allen from a SB appearance.

    "Mahomes?  The thing to do with Mahomes is, if he bothers you, I'll take care of him.  What you've got to do to Mahomes is, you cut the hamstring on the back of his leg right at the bottom; he'll never play football again.  Because, he goes back, his weight displacement goes back, and he stays there.  All his weight's on his right foot, he's gonna be throwing everything off to the right; he'll never come through on anything.  He'll quit the game."    Carl Spackler

    Just creating this so that, going forward I can put all the repetitive Belichik threads in one place instead of folks having to see them all over the board.

    Unlike some others here (you know who you are), you spelled his last name correctly in the topic title.  Very cool.

    It almost lived up to that kind of hype.   Bass killed a well executed game by both teams with an amateur hour kick.

     

    Allen trying to throw that dagger on 2nd and 9 was almost like an attempt to maximize the drama of the game by giving the Chiefs the ball back to play 4 down football with a minute plus and two timeouts.

    Thanks to Bass' ugly, wide right miss, we were spared the definite possibility of Mahomes breaking our hearts again with a surgical drive culminating in either a game winning kick from Butker or a TD catch by Kelce.  Don't kid yourself if you didn't think that was possible; look at how well they moved the ball after the miss.  Unless we get a TD on our last possession with little to no time remaining for the Chiefs, that's probably what would've happened, making this loss even worse than it currently is.  Sean McDermott has to go.  He is the Marvin Lewis of Marty Schottenheimers.

    Would I rather move on? Yes. Rebuilding a coaching landscape here would be the best option. 
     

     

    But there are certainly reasons and circumstances that mitigate him for a return… I don’t know, given where we were at mid season, ended up the #2 and how he had guys playing well who were in and out of the lineup I give him some for. 
     

    Giving him one more year is due to the fact of what he’s done; completely turned a club around that is now consistently in the playoffs we just haven’t got it done. If history repeats itself then you part ways. 

    I would've canned him after the 13 seconds debacle.  It would've saved having to watch that horrid display last year against the Bengals in the playoffs.  Time to move on from him, Diggs, Bass, Davis, and Miller.

    Let's kick the tires on Mike Vrabel.

    They kicked me off their website for telling them that Mahomes has 10 TD’s & 8 picks on the road. I see I’ve been suspended for life. Reason: none given 😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝

    love it!! They are the hillbillies that they are. 

    I’m going to trust Joe Brady with the game plan . He’s had the answers so far. He beat them the last time. Believe 😃

    They do love their echo chamber.  When we beat them tomorrow, their site is gonna be lit with profanity.

    Every single Bills fan will be rooting for the Texans just to hear Joe Buck at the end of the game exclaim "...and nowww the road to the Super Bowl goes through Buffalo!"

     

    Is this a serious post?

     

     

    Just killing time until the game is on.  Personally, if we get past K.C., I don't think Houston or Baltimore is beating us anyway.
