It's McD's D. Frazier is an extension of him. It's the strangest thing to me that people want McD to stay and for Frazier to go, as if that's going to make some kind of massive impact.

Wheres his holding highlights? I’ve been told here that’s much more important than punting abilities

Everyone knows McD blew it

Spoiler alert: We will have injuries next season too. And the year after that. And the years after that. Every team does.

Nope. But they will.

It's McD's defense. It must be so nice for him that people are putting the blame on the DC, the guy who's an extension of what the head coach wants to do. It may be McDermott's biggest accomplishment here that he's somehow free from any kind of accountability from a sizable chunk of the fanbase.

I don't really understand how people want to keep McD and say Frazier can go. It's McD's defense, Frazier is an extension of what he wants to do. And obviously McD is heavily involved as he should be, but he shares any of the same kind of blame for what the D did as Frazier. What's worse is McD made horrible in-game decisions on top of that. I'm honestly trying to figure out where the logic is in saying the head coach was totally fine but the DC wasn't.

Capacchio? I remember back in the day when that dude used to do a postgame show on Justin.tv if people remember what that was. He was fun to listen to back then. He is basically just a homer though. You’re not gonna get much good stuff from this Buffalo media.

We had the rug pulled out from underneath us by our own head coach

Some of you are acting like he’s a rookie head coach. This was his 5th year!!! People said he’d learn and grow from his terrible in-game decision making after last years loss to the Chiefs and now he just did it again! We shouldn’t expect for a 5th year coach to know to pop up or squib a kick there or that there’s no point to defending the sidelines with 13 seconds when they have all 3 timeouts? I mean what are we talking about here?

You do realize McD was also horrible in 2021’s AFC championship game too right? This was 2 years in a row. He hasn’t learned anything, Josh just gave him an all-time performance. And he still lost.

Mahomes would’ve had McD on the Bills, so I’d say the Chiefs would’ve won by a similar margin.

I agree about McD being problematic…but 17 is too good to let the rest happen. We’ll always be at least good while Josh is here and healthy…but whether we’ll be good enough at some point to be able to mask McD enough to take it all the way will be the question. Hopefully the answer will be yes.

I didn’t and don’t. Was offering up a suggestion in case there wasn’t a block feature, I’ve never used it so I have no idea.

It’s ultimately just a game, but if my takes bothers you so much you can just not read them when you see my name. Have a good one bud.

Thankfully we didn’t need McDeerInTheHeadlights to make any big decisions with the game on the line in that one.

The whole thing was a mess. And that was after timeouts too! It’s not even like it was just total chaos with no timeouts, not that it would have been an excuse either. But this makes it even worse.

Welp, I guess we can all be disappointed together then

He really hasn't gotten better in 5 years, I'm not sure what's going to change now. He coached scared in last year's game in KC as well. He's still horrible with timeout usage 5 years later. He still has that deer in the headlights look in the biggest moments of the game and screwed up with the squib and the scheme late. Also 5 years in and his D can't come up with a big stop late. This is also so much about preparation. Just like his first year vs the Colts when he didn't know that a tie would have eliminated us from the playoffs and punted late, he wasn't prepared for the 4th and short decisions last year and wasn't prepared for the late situation this year. Credit to him for being part of the decision to draft #17, no doubt about that. But if we stop holding the standard to comparing this team to the teams of the drought and look at it in the sense of what can we do to maximize this time we have with an elite QB, I'd want a coach that matches the preparation and fearlessness of Josh.

Hell no. That piece of trash's hit on Tre was one of the dirtiest I've ever seen. Not only way after the play, but at the back of his head. I'm all about winning but I'd take Derek Fine back at TE before I welcomed that douchewad here.

That's not what micromanaging means though. He's the head coach, he absolutely should be part of all those decisions. Micromanaging is a daily thing, like if he didn't allow the coaches any kind of freedom on a day to day basis with the players. It's his job, just like every head coach, to be part of everything on gameday. It's kind of like how I felt Pete Carroll somehow avoided the kind of vitriol Darrell Bevell did for their horrible play call in the SB against the Pats when Carroll was involved and didn't object to it. It's ultimately on the head coach for me, they're the head coach for a reason.

Haha I'm still in Kansas City, it's worse here. I actually still had a good time though, but this one will always hurt. I don't think the path will ever line up quite like that again with this lineup of young QB's in the AFC now, but hopefully we can win it one of these years with a tougher road.

Clearly he is since he keeps saying it's an execution thing. It's like that episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm where Ted Danson is an "anonymous" donor at a charity event but everyone knows it's him because he implied it, but they're all talking about what a great guy he is because it says anonymous.

I was hoping this was going to come with his resignation

And who was it that decided against a squib kick and went with a poor scheme for the 13 seconds? Josh left everything out there, McD didn’t.
