    All you #######s wanting McD fired should not be celebrating this victory or the division title.  You should go cry in your basement that someone still achieved something regardless of what your armchair coaching thought.

     

    just my opinion, but F all you all that wants him fired.  I just want to enjoy watching this team be successful 

     

     

    Note: I am posting this here so more people see it. 

     

     

    I find it interesting that it seems to trigger you so much that not everyone is a fan of his. What's wrong with people sharing their opinions of him? Everyone here wants the same thing, for the Bills to be as good as possible. I'd say the same if someone had posted things like "F everyone who wants to see him stay" after the AFC title game last year when he kicked on multiple 4th and shorts. 

     

    Nobody's stopping you from enjoying this team and he's probably going to be the coach for a while here. Many of us are just hoping he improves in the in-game aspects of the job.

    McDermott is clearly a good coach. I think the frustration with him is that he could be a great coach. Even more frustrating is that the things he needs to improve to become a great coach are easy and obvious. He has the hard parts of being a great coach down: motivating and teaching players, xs and os, hiring competent people to surround himself with.

     

    Some of his in-game decisions are so bad it's impossible to defend. Wasting timeouts left and right including the one where he called a timeout to decide if he should challenge. All the 4th downs in the Tampa game were botched. Punting late in OT in the snow game when a tie would have knocked us out of the playoffs, called a timeout erasing Josh's 4th and 1 conversion today, etc etc. All of these things are incredibly stupid, but can be corrected. It reminds me of the term 'you can't teach speed' You can teach an otherwise good coach that it's smart to go for certain 4th downs but it's much harder to make someone who already knows that into a great coach. It seems like he has to be forced to be aggressive, last year before the AFCCG he seemed to have improved, but regressed in that game and has carried over to this season with the exception of a few games.

     

    Another frustrating aspect is that he seems to be more aggressive against bad teams, and more conservative against good teams. Most fans think it should be the other way around especially if the other teams strength is offense.

     

    Really well put. I remember that snow game, he was the head coach of the team and didn't know a tie would have knocked us out of the playoffs. So hard to fathom. 

     

    But yeah the timeout usage and game management have been issues for all 5 years here. I agree he's a good teacher of the game and has the organizational skills. The game in NE was one of the first games we've seen where he was aggressive against a top team. The way he shrank in the spotlight last year in the AFC title game was tough to watch. Hopefully he won't again this year.

    I think something spooked him there and he lost confidence in the sneak.  That definitely was a wasted timeout looking back at it but a good amount of the time McD is getting criticized for doing the right thing in these gameday threads 

     

    I would disagree about the criticism, I think he struggles a lot with those decisions. 


    The timeout management though is a problem almost every single week, and it's been going on for years. It's cost us big at times too in close games.

    Yeah, let's demonize him for the rest of his life because of one mistake.

     

     

    Did you really just say that??? That “one mistake” could have ruined that woman’s life for all we know. Do you have any idea how traumatic rape can be? 
     

    Sometimes people just astound me.
