Billsflyer12

Spending roster spots, and big $$$ on special teams is not a wise allocation of resources in the long run. Having great special teams is not, nor will be the reason any team makes a deep playoff run. For example, cutting Isaiah Hodgins while keeping Kumerow because of special teams seems foolish. That said, keeping Taiwan Jones year after year for only special teams seems more foolish. Drafting a punter in any round is bad allocation of picks. Extending a punter for 3 years 7.5 million when you could get one that would be just as good for near league minimum. Any of this end of the world? No. But in a league that operates so close to the margins it seems to be a bad strategy if at the end of the day it doesn’t really matter that much to winning a Super Bowl.

Nice work, but the bigger point is does it matter? The Bills clearly emphasize special teams, why? Bills and Cowboys only 2 teams in playoffs final 8 teams in the top 10 special teams DOVA, and the Cowboys were 10th. Final 4 teams in playoffs special teams DOVA Eagles - 13th 49ers - 15th Bengals - 18th Chiefs - 19th Seems they keep focusing on a bad investment.

This ^^^^^^^ I too live in Denver. He finished season pretty well and you can definitely see the talent. But ask yourself why would an offensive coach like Peyton immediately try to trade a top 10 drafted, cost controlled WR? Because he is immature, has bad attitude and loves him some social media. Doesnt seem like a McDermott type of guy. Don’t see it.

I know my life has never been the same since I was 8 years old and an 18 year old drunk, recklessness driver T-Boned and killed my mother less than 2 minutes after dropping my sister and I at school in Rochester. My heart and life miss her every fu*king day.

The Chiefs after losing the Super Bowl to Bucs completely changed their whole offensive line. After Chiefs lost to the Bengals in AFC championship game made wholesale changed to their WRs including trading a top 5 WR and drafting and starting a 7th round RB.

Whats your standard? What’s the point if winning the Super Bowl is not the standard now with this QB and team?

An offensive Head Coach, as both participants in last 4 Super Bowls were offensive coaches. Ben Johnson Lions OC would do. No coach/qb combo in NFL history won their 1st Super Bowl together after year 5 together. Maybe MCD will be exception but history says they will need a new coach to win it.

What’s the quicker path to OC, Dorsey being fired or Super Bowl winning OC/Head Coach Doug Pederson being fired? This wasn’t about a quicker path to OC.

He would be fired for how he lost his last 4 playoff games. Blowing 16-0 lead at halftime in 1st playoff game, blown out by KC next season playoff, 13 seconds the next, and blown out at home in last season ending playoff game. Not to mention he is a defensive head coach in era of offensive coaches getting to and winning the Super Bowl. Winning Super Bowl is the goal right?

No team has ever started the same quarterback under the same head coach for more than five years and seen that duo win its first championship. If McDermott wins a Super Bowl with Allen this year in year 6 or beyond together, it will be the first time that it’s been done in history of NFL.

The Five-Year Rule: No team has ever started the same quarterback under the same head coach for more than five years and seen that duo win its first championship.

I literally have a hard time understanding how some of you don’t understand or see such a simple concept and point. I’m not going to go around and around with those who don’t actually care to read correctly. SMH.

I said in the Mahomes Era. The current QB, Coach and team that is the standard now, currently. Use DOVA, fine. 3 of the past 5 SB winners were 14th or worse in defense. BTW the 2 who weren’t Bucs and Rams were 3 and 8th in Total Offense. Both the wining and losing coaches in past 4 SB were Offensive coaches, that’s 8 for 8. 7 of the last 8 playoff teams this season were offensive coaches. OFFENSE wins Championships now in the Mahomes era, not defense. That’s my point.

A great defense does NOT matter, a great offense DOES in the Mahomes era. Having an offensive minded Head Coach DOES matter, a defensive Head Coach is a LIABILITY in Mahomes era.

Let’s look at the last 4 Super Bowls, the Mahomes era. 1). Both the winners and losers of last 4 Super Bowls were coached by offensive coaches. 2). The defensive ranking of the winner of last 4 Super Bowls have gotten lower and lower each season. None in top 5. The last 2 Super Bowl winners rank 15th and 16th in Total Defense. 3). The last 5 Super Bowl winners have a top 10 Total Offense, 4 of those 5 were top 5 in Total Offense. Your point of a team winner Super Bowl with a terrible defense may be true. A mid table defense is enough if you have an elite offense. The offense in this Mahomes Era is so much more important and this team has neglected it. An offensive minded Head Coach has literally made 100% of Super Bowls in this Mahomes era. Could it happen to this version of Bills, maybe? You wouldn’t bet a whole lot on the small chance it could with the Bills as currently constructed.

English EPL soccer teams fire coaches after a couple of months, but 7 years in Buffalo we need to still be patient.

The fact that it is a moot point is exactly what pisses everyone off. We do the same sh*t every year, with the same people who make the same mistakes. All the while the Chiefs completely overhaul their OL and retool receivers after trading one of the best away. Eagles hire a young, aggressive, offensive coach while drafting and WR in top 10 and trading for an addition top 5 WR. Bengals over haul their OL, draft WR and then draft another one right after. 49ers trade for Christian McCaffery, we trade for Hines and use him 4 offensive plays. So yes, not only do neither of them go anywhere, they all just stay a do the same dumb stuff doubling down on freaking defense every year. They learn nothing, say nothing and we all are to just trust the process. Ok 👍.

He and Beane deserve all of it from football perspective. Not personal.

5 of last 7 Super Bowl winners score 31 or more points, and Beane and McDermott have decided every year to double down on freaking defense with an elite QB on the roster! Just inexcusable negligence toward Allen and this offense.

You have to be kidding me!!! Your post is sarcasm right? They have watched 5 of last 7 Super Bowl winners score 31 or more points, and then decided to double down on freaking defense with an elite QB on the roster!

Having a defensive head coach in a offensive/QB era is a real problem in 2 ways. 1). Continuity on offense. If OC is good he is hired elsewhere, if OC is bad he is eventually fired. Hired or fired is bad for QB and offensive consistency. The QB and a OC Head Coach is the stability in this current young gun QB era that works the best. 7 of final 8 in this year’s playoffs were this setup. 2). HOF QB Steve Young talked about this recently and it was fascinating. Basically he said having a defensive coach as head coach was a problem for the offense because his natural or maybe even unconscious traits are to make decisions that protect their defense. I had never thought of it like this. For me in playoffs you definitely see McDermott defaulting to this thinking, much to the detriment of the offense and team in general. His game management decisions, either punt/go, FG/go or timeouts for example lean heavily toward protecting the defense. His natural instincts in pressure moments are to trust a stop more than trust Josh to get 2 or 6 yds on 4th. Sean is a good coach and likely a better man. It’s just how he fits into this era and with how our team is built.

It makes him a bad fit for this team and this era.

As someone who lived in Texas for a number of years I can attest to this. My property taxes were more in Texas on a 180,000 house are more than now in Colorado on a house 3 times that. No state income tax is a marketing tool, states always get their $$$$.

Then bolted for a lateral job on a team with a HC as OC?
