I don't think most people care about the Jags or Texans games...even though McD was awful in those games. We don't have to talk about those. Losing this game would still put us at 4 straight Divisional exits with a generational QB, the best we've ever had, and at worst a top 3 player in the NFL. That's a huge disappointment. I don't know what your point is with "basically it's the Chiefs". Is the expectation for McD to not get over that hump? Josh gave it to him on a silver platter in the 13 seconds game and he still choked it away. If your gold standard is the Divisional Round or to just get to the Chiefs and lose....that's probably the real dividing line here between the people that would want McD to stay vs people who want for the Bills to hold a higher standard with an all-time QB.

But if we lose again and it's 4 straight Divisional exits....what continuous improvement is he showing?

This…so much this. Reid is a positive force for his side of the ball, especially in the playoffs while McD has been totally detrimental with his.

The mental gymnastics that are needed to define what could be 4 straight Divisional exits for a coach with Josh Allen as your QB as an undeniable success that you're being gaslit as an "idiot" if you disagree with is kind of impressive. Keeping it simple...4 straight years of only reaching the Divisional Round with a generational QB that might be the best player in all of football would be almost objectively a massive failure.

4 straight Divisional losses with a generational QB would deserve quite a bit of piling on. But I'll say we take it 27-23 with Josh wearing the cape and controlling TOP

The one comparison is I don't really expect much of an adjustment to be made defensively unfortunately. I think Josh will have to wear the cape but don't think he'll have a game like the Bengals one that's really his only postseason clunker.

I think we'll see in this next test if he's gotten any better. I personally don't think he has, he hasn't improved at all as a game manager and is tight with making decisions late in games as we saw against teams like the Rams and Texans where he had no idea what to do. If we have a 4th straight Divisional exit with our generational QB...I'm not sure what the argument is that he's gotten better when we'll have literally just been stagnant for the last 4 years and peaked in 2020.

The players also loved Dick Jauron

Josh is probably going to have to wear the cape in this one

It's not really satirical though because he's obviously using this sarcasm as a basis to defend McD's overall body of work in the postseason...which is objectively not very pretty That narrative is 100% true. Let me ask you this...do you think McD's side of the ball and game management in the postseason overall has been a strength for this team? I would disagree with the bolded part about Josh in "prior seasons". He's largely been fantastic in the playoffs, the Cincy game really being the only total clunker. Coaching and defense have been the biggest reasons why we haven't had success in January. I mean if you didn't see calm and poise in the 13 seconds game I'm not sure what to tell you.

Yeah I would probably buy that as a roster we're more balanced and built for this...but our biggest problem still remains. It's possible it can be overcome but it's obviously still there.

You know we’ll get the 1 seed the very first year they do that too

For a coach whose defense has been horrific in every single big postseason game against any good QB and who literally blew the 13 seconds game himself and can't get out of the Divisional Round with a top 3 player in the NFL...beating Bo Nix is the flex? OK.

Not sure how smart it is to keep Allen in and let him take more punishment with the game being over

Wow that's actually a competent interview

I remember Fat Freddie at Mama

California and Florida have some similar issues where people are having a hard time getting their homes insured because they're in these fire and hurricane territories. That's gotta be really scary too.

I mean this would be hilarious if he backed out and went to Vegas instead

Yeah if you wait until really close you can sometimes get amazing deals. A friend and I went to one of our playoff games in KC and got tix like 10 minutes before start and they were great seats like 10 rows up close to the 40 yard for like $150 each. Unfortunately that was the 13 seconds game though.

I’m pretty concerned with Bass going into what we’re about to

For sure, this is the biggest one I'm hoping for. Also, great username.

I agree he'll get a job but I'm not worried about him. I don't think he's anything special. I think he will. His podcast is popular and people usually let things go with time. As the great Ari Gold once said...the only thing people love more than when a celebrity tears themselves down is a comeback story.

It would be cool to watch if we had any fun backup QB’s

They're obviously not hiring Rivera. But Woody loves Rex...I honestly wouldn't take that off the table of being a realistic hire

That part is hilarious to me. There is no such thing as a "rebuilding" year with an elite QB. You always have a shot with a top 2 (at worst) QB if you haven't completely bungled the roster. I've been saying this since 13 seconds. McD is the biggest obstacle for us to win a Super Bowl.
