It's been time for years ... What the Eagles did last night is just another reminder that McDermott's had 4 chances in the playoffs to stifle KC's offense, has had 8 years to build a champion, and has failed. 13 Seconds was a disgrace and yet the guy is still here, losing in the playoffs every single year due primarily to poor defense. Without Josh, McDermott would have been gone a long time ago. He's not a championship-level coach, period.

Pressuring Mahomes, what a concept ... McBeane has had how many years to build a defense capable of doing it? And the Bills have lost 4 times to the Chiefs in the playoffs?

and there it is again, the Eagles execute the play perfectly, no doubt whatsoever ... the Bills? No

Maybe somebody said it, but that's what you do when you have the Chiefs backed up on their possession, you force a 3-and-out ... McDermott's Bills defense gave up a 90-yard TD drive.

Sure.
Absolve the Jimmies and Joes and blame it all on the coaches.
How did 1st rounders Kaiir Elam, Dalton Kincaid, and Greg Rousseau impact the game?
How did 2nd rounder Keon Coleman impact the game? Meanwhile, how did the WR the Bills let the Chiefs trade up and take impact the game?
In what way was coaching to blame for the multiple failed tush pushes?
In what way was coaching to blame for Kincaid dropping the 4th down pass that lost the game?
In what way was coaching to blame for some of the inaccurate passes Josh threw at various points in the game?
The coaches were outcoached at key moments, yes. Reid and Spagnuolo are two of the best to ever do it, and Babich and Brady are rookie coordinators, so it's not terribly surprising.
But to put the whole loss on coaching, and to thus completely absolve the players, the quarterback, and the personnel deficiencies is off the mark, IMO.
Players failed, too. Josh failed at certain moments, too. Beane's team building (particularly the use of early round picks) deserves some blame, too.
It's not as simple and one-dimensional as you're making it. It was a whole organizational failure, from team building, to coaching, to player execution.Here's why blaming the coaches is a rational opinion: you received the opening kick, you have a chance right there to go up 7-0 ... if you're ready to play, ready to execute. The Bills go 3-and-out, punt the ball, and then watch Patrick Mahomes lead his team on a 90-yard drive to go up 7-0 and set the tone for the entire game. So, if it's on the coaches to prepare the team to play ball, the team wasn't prepared to execute offensively or defensively right out of the box ... how is that not a coaching failure? How is chasing points in the 2nd quarter of the game not a coaching failure? How many times do you call the Tush Push and watch it either barely succeed or outright fail, and still call it?
The Bills have been slaughtered by other team's offenses for 5 straight years in the playoffs ... 4 times by the Chiefs and once by the Bengals (in a non-competitive home playoff loss) ... how exactly does Sean McDermott, whose entire career is based on his defensive prowess, escape blame or repercussions for his team's laundry list of playoff failures?
The Bills are being outcoached in the playoffs every single year ... we have a large enough sample size ... so let's change nothing and run it back!-

McDermott's been here 8 years ... he has not built a championship defense ... his specialty is defense ... that's a failed head coach right there.
You have an MVP QB ... McDermott's teams still crawl into a shell offensively in the 2nd halves of playoff games ... he's a conservative coach in a league that does not reward conservatism. He ain't the right coach ... this has been obviously true since 13 Seconds.
You have a southerner as your GM ... a guy with that dumb southern accent who gave the Chiefs Xavier Worthy and then Xavier Worthy be an impact player all year culminating in 100+ total yards and a TD against you in the AFC championship game. McBeane has made one good decision: drafting Josh Allen. Congratulations. Everything else they'v e done has failed. The defense fails every single postseason. The offense has now choked the last two postseasons with opportunities to beat the Chiefs. This regime ain't getting it done.
Move on. Give Josh a chance. Or just keep losing in the AFC playoffs. Your choice.-

I can't wait until Josh's career is over, the Bills have zero Super Bowl appearances, and people will still be afraid to fire a head coach who only wins because he has a generational talent at Quarterback.
January 24, 2021 - Chiefs 38 Bills 24
January 23, 2022 - Chiefs 42 Bills 36 (OT)
January 21, 2024 - Chiefs 27 Bills 24
January 26, 2025 - Chiefs 32 Bills 29
If you want to keep adding to that list and watch the Bills lose in the AFC playoffs every single season then bring him back. No other first-time head coach in history has been granted lifetime tenure without so much as appearing in a Super Bowl, let alone winning one. Why do the Bills get as far as they do? Josh Allen. Why can't they get to a Super Bowl? Sean McDermott. So let's run it back, again.-

13 Seconds. 0-4 against Chiefs in playoffs. Zero Super Bowl appearances. Motivational speeches praising the 9-11 hijackers. Yeah, let's keep McDermott around!
-
Oh my God man, that's the play?
-
you go for 1 in the 1st half, you go for 1 now, it's 24-21
-
People keep talking about Brady ... it's a classic Sean McDermott 2nd half after having 21-10 halftime lead and rolling at home ... he finds a way to lose. Hopefully he somehow gets away with it tonight.

I do miss the Jim Kelly era energy of the offense when it was humming ... they came into the game expecting to score 35+, particularly in AFC playoff games ... to go no-huddle and punish the other team's defense ... McDermott likes it this other way ... and one holding call, like the one right now, can kill long, plodding drives
-
To not be scoring these touchdowns is just unacceptable ... giving it to Cook 1 or 2 too many times in a row, just wasting away the clock and not scoring touchdowns, it's just exactly what Denver needs to potentially steal this game ... then afterwards, I'll be saying how I don't like Sean McDermott, and others will say look at the playoff appearances and regular season record

Running is more important than scoring, what are they doing, man?

Now score the Touchdown please

10 points in a half in a home playoff game against a 7-seed makes Jack a dull boy

Ah yes, the old Timeout on Defense ... another classic McDermott tactic, which means Miami will likely get the First Down if not score
-
Complimentary football ... offense turns it over inside the 5 ... defense lets other team drive 95 yards for a Touchdown ... Classic McDermott

Nice catch Coleman ... guess that's why the team traded for Amari Cooper and all the top teams are seeking top wideouts ... that is so disgusting on so many levels

The Patriots led Jacksonville 10-0, then got stomped ... we need the same here

I'm at the game. That personal foul was exactly as ***** a call as you think it is.
It was clear helmet to helmet, it ultimately cost the team a Touchdown

Is it time to move on from McDermott?

The "amazing turnaround" is because the Bills happened to draft an MVP-level talent at Quarterback ... without Allen, McDermott is a middle-of-the-road coach who might be able to scrape out Wild Card appearances and 1st round exits ... McDermott is lucky as H*** that his tenure happened to coincide with drafting Josh Allen. He's a 9-8 or 10-7 coach whose numbers look gaudy because of the superstar QB ... we can see every year in the playoffs how his defenses consistently get gashed and the Bills lose, even with Josh Allen. How many coaches would have good-looking regular season records with Josh at QB? Lots.
