    This piece is friggin’ stupid. And I have my issues with McDermott. Dunne is doing the Substack-adjacent version of what Nick Wright does — accentuating all the negatives to rile up a fanbase in order to build his brand. The Bills lost to a better (because healthier) team in KC that also has a better kicker and would have lost to a very healthy Ravens team next week. 

    It’s almost as if the Bills weren’t decimated by injury on defense on Sunday.


    I knew the injuries would be the rally cry. What about in 20 and 21 when the D was relatively healthy and McD’s unit still gave up 38 and 42? Or when we couldn’t stop the Bengals last year? 
     

    Healthy or not, McD’s side of the ball ALWAYS lets us down in big games. Literally every single time.

    At the end, how Josh Allen's carrer will look like ?

    With the hits Josh takes every week, doubtful he plays past 37-38?  He's gotta get one in the next 5 years. Maybe the NFL will move the Bills to the NFC?

     

    I mean he'll still probably be around but it won't be this version of him. McD's wasted a lot of that. I think we maybe have a couple years of this kind of weapon where he can run like this and take the punishment. One of those we're punting away next year with McD. We might be down to 1 after that.

    If McD is here for the long haul, he’s looking at Phillip Rivers unfortunately. 
     

    This has already been the most tragic waste of a superstar I’ve ever seen.

    I don't know how it ends up but I would use Dan Marino as the first example over Phillip Rivers.  Josh is in another class from Rivers and this is coming from someone who was a big fan of Rivers.  


    Yea, Marino is the better comp

    Hey, Talking Heads, Please Look at the Stats Before You Speak

    I know, I know. They’re Talking Heads. They need to talk about Josh Allen (is he  really great or not, can he get over the hump, yada yada).  I haven’t heard a single pundit talk about the Bills D in reference to the last four playoff losses (Orlovsky was the only one I heard mention the injuries on D in Sunday’s game).  
     

    The stats are sickening. In the four playoff losses, Bills have surrendered an average of 33.5 points, 398 yards, have four sacks for 10 yards and forced two turnovers (one on special teams, zero interceptions).  On Sunday, Bills gave up 7.7 yards per play. Excluding kneel downs, an astounding 8.5 yards per play.  That’s a full three yards per play better than KC’s season average and a full yard better than their best game of the season against the Chargers.  
     

    If Lamar Jackson and the Ravens win on Sunday, I guarantee that it will be because a great Ravens D shuts down Mahones and the Chiefs.


    Yup, it’s the D that always lets us down. Josh takes a lot of heat that should be going elsewhere.

    Reid's Shortcomings & Peyton Manning Didn't Make The SB Until His 9th Season

    @H2o Peyton is the right comparison because he had to deal with beating Brady. However, I also think about Elway winning in his 30s when he finally understood that a good running game would take the pressure off of hi--he didn't always need to be superman.  Terrel Davis (and a good D) was instrumental in Elway getting his rings.

     

    Peyton only had to face Brady twice in his first 8 seasons before he finally won in year 9. He actually had some really bad postseason performances up until then. 

     

    That's why I don't see this as comparable. Outside of the Bengals game, Josh has been really good and at times lights out and legendary in the playoffs...and we're still losing. Peyton was moreso himself getting over the hump...ours is a different battle in having a head coach that is completely in over his head.

    There is a massive difference at being mad a person like Mahomes was with the ref vs being devastated from something like a painful loss.  You seem to think anger is the only way to handle emotional pain or hurt.  

     

    I don't know how anyone can watch the game vs KC and the press conferences and see just how much this means to Josh.  I honestly don't know what you thought you saw or expected to see, but everyone else saw a guy who was taking the loss hard who wanted it bad on the field.  Then faced the press and had to field ridiculous questions about it right after while still processing the disappointment of what just happened.


    It should make people angrier at McD. 
     

    Josh leaves everything out there, played a great game, he was ready for it, has his blood, sweat, and tears on the field. 
     

    And we have a coach that won’t do any of that. That won’t even put in the work to improve himself as a coach in any way. 
     

    I can’t believe we’re bringing him back and punting another prime year of Josh. He is going to end up being one of the most tragic superstars in sports.

    Reid's Shortcomings & Peyton Manning Didn't Make The SB Until His 9th Season

    All of the talk about JA17's "prime years" being wasted, and all of the incessant whining about every single detail around here can make this board tiresome. Every single thought posted as a thread no matter how irrational, how vague, or how much of a LAMP they may be. The "fire, cut, and trade" trains are all over the place again. All of the Nancy's have come back out of the woodworks as soon as Bass missed the kick, the ones who hadn't been as present during the 6 game win streak. 

     

    First, the Chiefs game. JA17 was balling. All the bobbleheads on TV can say whatever they want, about any aspect, but that's clowns do. They came to the circus all piled in the same VW. Cook had a solid game, outside of the dropped TD pass. The game plan was solid on offense, even though things shifted a bit in the 4th. There are multiple factors that cost us. The defense couldn't stop a nose bleed. The loss Bernard was the final nail in the coffin there. Not being able to stop the run hurt. Huge drops by the WR's. If those 3 passes are completed, then JA has another 150yds and likely one more TD. That ball to Diggs was in the air 70 yards and an ABSOLUTE dime. There's no excuse. Sherfield was being interfered with on the first one, but that was a perfect throw as well. Then he had an opportunity when Josh laid the other out there, but just couldn't secure it. Bass put the flame out altogether with his recreation of a Norwood classic. Tough loss. Very emotional. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth knowing how close we were again. Still, it's not the end of the world. 

     

    Everyone wants to act like it's time to completely deconstruct the whole thing. Everyone also forgets that Reid was the lovable underachiever in Philly. His teams won 6 division titles, were in 5 NFCCG (4 in a row at one point), and made one SB in that time which they did not win. Even in KC he didn't win anything of importance until he had Mahomes, Kelce, and Hill. Brett Veach and Andy Reid built this monster together they have now. They have hit on their drafts more often than not, on both sides of the ball. Now that Reid has a couple of SB's in KC and been on an insane run of AFCCG's the last few years people talk about him as one of the best coaches in history. They forget the lovable underachiever he once was. 

     

    Peyton Manning had multiple MVP's and numerous accolades to his credit prior to the 2006 season. He was recognized as one of the top QB's in the game. But his teams were always coming up short in the Playoffs. In four of those Playoff appearances they failed to even win a single game. One and done. We're talking about teams that had Edgerrin James, Reggie Wayne, Marvin Harrison, and Dallas Clark on offense. Then they had Bob Sanders, Dwight Freeney, and Robert Mathis on defense. They were always coming up short. In his 9th season, 2006, they finally had that magical run and Peyton made it to his 1st SB. It also helped that they came up against a much lesser opponent in the Rex Grossman led Chicago Bears for that SB and it ended in a victory. 

     

    I know we live in a microwave society, and instant gratification is almost viewed as a right by many people these days, but it's not always the case. Sometimes you do have to struggle and toil before you actually achieve your goals. The team has needs. Trenches need to be shored up. Weapons need to be obtained in the passing game still. We need good fortune with injuries for once. But one thing we do have? We have an elite QB. Screw the media bobbleheads and so called reporters. the clown show will continue with them no matter what. Also, despite my grumblings against Sean McDermott at times, I still think he's a solid coach and it's not time for him to be shown the door just yet. I think Beane is a solid GM who has actually made some really good moves for this team. Even though this year is fresh in my mind, and the pain of the loss is real, I still know that as long as we have JA17 at the helm our SB window is open. Now let's hope they make the right moves in the offseason and for once, next season, that God smiles down upon this team injury wise. 

     

     


    The Reid comps for McD are completely asinine. Reid went to 4 straight NFC Championship games and a Superbowl with a LESSER QB than Allen while McD has so much trouble just getting out of the Divisional Round. 
     

    Also, Reid was a terrible in-game manager, still probably isn’t a great one, but they can live with it because  he’s always been very proficient with his side of the ball, would you agree? While for us, the primary reason we keep losing in the playoffs is because of McD’s side of the ball despite him being given a tremendous amount of resources for it with money and picks. And he obviously directly cost us the 13 seconds game with his own personal choke job. 
     

    McD’s defense, his supposed specialty and what he’s supposed to be proficient in, has been our biggest problem in the playoffs, he’s a horrendous in-game manager except we’re not getting the payoff on his side of the ball, and he’s had issues with identifying quality coordinators. 
     

    So what do you look at with McD and say “wow, I’m really glad we have what he does in this department!” Because I literally don’t see a thing.

    Great post.

     

    Josh Allen is 27.  I also think of Michael Jordan, who lost to the Pistons 3x before breaking through, and Jim Kelly, who didn't make his 1st SB until he was in his 30's and went to 4 of them.

     

    I can't imagine Josh Allen retiring without at least 1 ring.

     


    Jordan needed a new coach to break through, the way they were going was not working. He’s talked many times about how getting the right coach was so integral to what ended up being their Dynastic success.

    This is exactly what I feel about McD. There is literally nothing he brings to the table as a Head Coach. 
     

    His side of the ball gets lit up in every big game despite giving himself tremendous resources, he’s still a horrendous in-game manager, he has trouble hiring good coordinators, he gets worse in the playoffs…I really just don’t get it.
     

    I don’t know how people want to keep a coach that doesn’t actually excel at anything and has no strengths as a Head Coach.

    We heard the same thing when he fired Dorsey and Frazier.  It doesn't mean they were the wrong moves though.


    Sure, but who hired them in the first place? Or this ST coordinator? Or the other coordinators he’s fired while here? 
     

    Part of being a good coach is being able to find good staff.

    I don't get it...you're flexing "5th" place? Which even that's generous considering 5-8 went the same exact distance. 

     

    But this is the standard for the Pro-McD crowd. I think that's really the difference here.

    You have some of the most interestingly worded posts on this board!  Very consistent in their quality.

     

     

    Heck no, as many feel like I do--lucky --and happy--that we have one of the top coaches in the NFL and will likely be a championship contender as long as he is here. And win several Super Bowls, if not the 8 Josh predicted!

     

    How many teams in the NFL can say that? 

     

    I don't really see how we're a championship contender with 3 straight Divisional Round exits. With McD we're kind of just a Mid team.
