Just couldn't let me be happy!

I think it's yet to be seen. I thought ST's looked pretty bad Game 1, and yesterday they looked a lot better. Hopefully this guy can at least count how many men are on the field.

That would be devastating for me to hear if Allen was one of those We need that bye and home field all the way for once. Banking those wins is the way.

I listened a little bit but it's so bad now on there. They used to have such better hosts and shows when I used to live in the city and listened to it regularly while working.

Just trying to understand the first part…do you think it’s not a failure if the Bills don’t come away with a SB in Josh’s career? Or were you talking about just this season?

A lot of guys on D looked washed on Sunday night. A scary amount.

Yeah ultimately if he caused confusion by not calling timeout, I do think Josh would've taken the reigns and got them up there to spike it. If I were Harbaugh I probably wouldn't have called timeout and if the Bills figured out what they were going to do, I would've called it around 15 seconds, you know at that point they're going to kick it and you'd get the ball back with maybe 10 seconds for a chance at a miracle play.

They would have just kicked it if it was 3rd down and 15 seconds when he called the timeout. I do wonder though if we would've caught on fast enough if he just didn't call timeout at all or if it would've been really rushed. But that is true...they would've either possibly had us rush it or would've had a few seconds to possibly get into position for a Hail Mary if they had called it later.

Nah, that's part of the game. Why do fans see it as it not being OK for players to taunt the fans when the fans do it to them all the time? You can yell and taunt all you want from either side...but you can't initiate contact like that from either side either. The Bills fan in this case was totally in the wrong. As others have said, if Lamar had punched him in the face, he would've IMO been well within reason.

I think he was almost stunned that he went completely unblocked and unaccounted for. Haha I saw it last night too but didn't want to harp on a negative when it was such an amazing win. But yikes how brutal would it have been to lose on a block where he was allowed to rush in totally free?

Short yardage was brutal. Whether we tried to run, QB "sneaks" or whatever some of those were, and the 2pt calls. Lot of work to be done there. There is definitely a lack of creativity on these plays. These are plays that should be fun for an OC, especially 2nd and short when we're at midfield or something, the whole playbook is open.

Doesn’t look like anything’s changed on D

Not being sure about Hurts at this point is kind of strange

But why do you see it as a waste if we don't win it all in future seasons with a new coach but don't see it that way with what's been happening already? By that definition hasn't McDermott wasted almost all of Josh's 20's over the last 7 years? The same question could be asked of you for wanting to stick with him...how many years of Josh's career are you willing to risk wasting?

I don't think we've been that close at all to getting to the SB for the last 5 seasons. 2021 and 2023 we got blown out, 2024 would have been pretty tough to pull off with that D. 3 of those years were 3 Divisional losses in a row. Last year we were close to getting there, maybe the 13 seconds game year with how dialed in the offense was? But even then McD's defense was a total sieve, we likely would have had to score 30+ in every game the rest of the way to win it all. It could have been done but the obstacle McD and his incompetency on his side of the ball presents here is and obviously has been really tough to overcome in January. I don't agree that we've been on the verge of winning it nearly every season...most of the seasons we haven't. Most of us believe Allen is right up there with Mahomes and any other QB...but he's been to 5 SB's and our guy has been to none despite overall playing lights out in the playoffs and really only having 1 clunker, the Cincy game. Mahomes has had multiple clunkers and still has gotten to 5 SB's and won 3. He has had contributions from his defense and coaching, something we have not for a long time now. It's just not as simple as saying "well this is better than the drought years" because we do have a generational QB. The expectations and standards change. We've been underperforming in the postseason with what we have now. I think the example people talked about here was a really good one about MJ and losing to the Pistons and how they overcame it when they hired a new coach that helped get them over that hump. MJ even really liked Doug Collins, the guy he couldn't win it all with, and he was a good coach...but he struggled with taking that team to the next level. Is it possible to win it all in spite of having a coach that struggles with that? Sure. But why keep that obstacle in place? Like another poster mentioned, as an example what if we have another lights out offensive season with Brady and the D lets us down again for the 7th straight postseason and we lose and teams are calling about Brady...does it make sense at that point to keep McD when we could promote Brady and keep the offense and hire a new D coordinator that can maybe just make the unit somewhat close to mediocre in the playoffs? I think that's a good question for people who do really like McD.
