They have to consider cutting Sam Martin before next week.
He's punting from our 44 yard line, and it goes 40 yards (lands at the 16) with no hang time AND in the middle of the field. There was a 25 yard return.
The average NFL punter is going to pin KC inside the 20 (likely inside the 10) when punting from there. Instead we netted 15 yards.
He was a straight up disaster in the Broncos game. Multiple 40-45 yard punts with no hang time to the middle of the field that gave up big returns. There was so much else going on in that game that Martin's performance fell to the wayside.
T Bass has been bad as well, but I'm more willing to give him some time to figure it out.

You are correct and I've commented on this several times upthread. The league can, and has, but they usually let the legal process play out and complete their own investigation first - all of which takes time.
In the Zeke Elliot case you cite, the league "sat on it"/investigated for more than a year before issuing a suspension.
The league has never swept in (that I can think of) and suspended a player at the 'accusations' stage.
Adrian Peterson missed 15 games in 2015 starting from the same stage that Von Miller is at (being arrested). It looks like the Vikings deactivated him for 1 game, then the league put him on the NFLs exempt list for 9 weeks, then the league suspended him the remainder of the season.
I'm pretty surprised the league hasn't put him on the exempt list. Maybe they are playing chicken with the Bills to see if we sit him on our own.

Pulled the OL’ Amber Heard.
If a woman is crazy enough to fake injuries to try and drum up DV charges against their significant other they aren't going to recant their claims and say nothing happened the next day.
I'm having a very hard time believing that Von Miller was not physically abusive in this instance. What's the alternative? That she self inflicted these injuries to try and destroy his career and then regretted it the next day? That there was some other random guy that did it?
Please...

Are we just gonna ignore the interception that Allen threw in a similar situation against denver at the half... that spotted denver 3 points in a 2 point game...
Yes we should ignore it. Why would that have any bearing on the decision in the Eagles game?
Should Allen never throw the ball again just because he's thrown INT's in the past ?

I don't pay for the Athletic and didn't see it mentioned in the first few pages of this thread.
Are the 4 "sources" saying McD has 0 chance of being fired during the season ?
Or are they saying he has 0 chance of being fired at any point this offseason ?
There's a very big difference there.
-
I'd put the Colts playoff game up there for one of the best Bills/Allen victories, but not McDermott's.
McD's defense got shredded. We were the 1st team in NFL history to allow 450+ yards, force no turnovers, and win a game. The win was a combination of unforced errors by the Colts (failed 4th down at end of the 1st half, 33 yard missed FG in 3rd Q) and phenomenal play by Allen/Davis (those toe taps at the end of the 1st half).

I think he would have gone for it if it wasn’t 4th and 10. Idk about whether not being that bad, and Bass has been struggling, and just had a field goal blocked. Idk why you trust Bass there instead of your defense who has shut down the Eagles to that point.
He made a 48 yard FG earlier in this very game

Again bass has been shaky on longer kicks. He already had a blocked kick and somehow you all had great confidence that he would make it? That’s crazy sounding to me. Also wasn’t a do or die time to kick one. The Eagles kicker has 0 pressure but that Bass miss led to the whole game changing from that point.
Not really hindsight if I didn’t want to kick the fg. Just like I disagreed to kick the fg in the Giants game.
With a 17-7 lead with 10+ minutes left in the 3rd Quarter, against a good offense, your options are
1) 48 yard FG
2) Go for it on 4th and 10
3) Punt
Weather wasn't THAT bad. You 100% take the FG attempt. Anything else is hindsight nonsense.

No joke, looking back in hindsight what Jauron did to get 7 wins out of those dreadful rosters might be nothing short of miraculous.
In a division with Brady/Belichick, no less. Frankly I respect the man a lot more these days...
Wasn't it a running meme on this site after Jauron said "it's tough to win in this league" ?
Nowadays coaches league wide say stuff like that, including McD, and nobody bats an eye.

Reich has been a train wreck the last 2 seasons for 2 different teams. Hard pass.

Honestly I was more upset at him for this play
2nd & 7 at PHI 43
(8:44 - 1st) (Shotgun) J.Allen pass short right to J.Cook pushed ob at PHI 37 for 6 yards (H.Reddick).
He caught the ball in the flat and should've had an easy first down, but ducked out of bounds to avoid contact and fell a yard short of the marker.

I agree that the cap is going to be a mess next year, but Allen is one of the few guys actually worth his contract. The going rate for a franchise QB is 50+ per season and Allen is 100% playing at that level. Even with such a massive amount of our team cap dedicated to defense and defensive players on IR.
I wonder if we'll take a bath next year with a new HC to reset the cap situation. No reason to think we couldn't be completely re-tooled with a clean salary cap slate by the 25-26 season though.

To my eyes, it looked like the majority of big mistakes were on the offense. Cook dropped a guaranteed TD pass, Davis goes the wrong way on another sure TD, and they couldn't run the ball all night. I can't remember who all of the 10 first half penalties were on, but that sure didn't help. Neither did two missed field goals.
Overtime always favors offense, because the D is gassed. The Bills won the coin toss and the offense couldn't capitalize.
The D was not stellar late, but you can't hang the outcome on them.
8 games have gone to OT this year and only 2 have ended with an opening drive TD. The Bills were the first team to score in OT this year and still lose the game.
The defense was a horror show after half time. Note that this happened despite the offense running the ball successfully and chewing up the clock to 41 minutes TOP.

Who makes the decision on how many snaps Von gets, and when they occur?
Is Eric Washington (DL Coach) seeing Von in practice and film and saying “we’re in a fight for our playoff lives, he should be on the field?” And giving that message to McDermott I find that hard to believe.
Is it McDermott? Just hoping it will suddenly click?
is it Beane trying to save face on the investment?
there is no way Floyd or Rousseau should have lost a single snap to Miller today!
That's my guess.
Von is a 'process' guy. Veteran player that works hard, leads, and is a 'good person'.
Von told McD he was ready and McD will trust the process and give him snaps. Even though he's worse than a JAG out there. Even though he's shown minimal signs of improvement through 8 games.
Keep in mind McD is the guy that thought Nathan Peterman was a starting caliber QB. Multiple times.

Eh, as far as re-hashing ancient history goes I don't really care about this one. The Titans had 2 timeouts left and we had none.
Kneeling it down more than once you're playing with fire by both increasing the kick distance and potentially running out of time.

I have no idea why we rushed him back like this.
Did Von tell McD he was ready to go ? And the coaches/doctors thought that was good enough ? I can't believe McD could see him like this in a practice and think he was ready to go.
He's not only NOT 100%, he's so far from healthy he's a liability out there. We would've been better off letting him recuperate on IR and use the roster slot on a guy that was sitting on a couch (ala Linval Joseph) or a PS guy.

What’s his record in OT games? They mentioned something in the broadcast that they haven’t won OT games I think that’s what I heard.
Allen is 0-6. McD is 1-6 with the one win coming against the Colts in 2017 (the snow game). Honestly it's a miracle we won that game after McD punted on 4th and 1 from the Colts 41 with 4 minutes left in OT.

How many examples do you need to see where a team goes on a FG drive in ~20 seconds or less?
Our offense did it a year ago against the Lions. The Chiefs have done it to us (TWICE!). I'm sure there's more examples from just Bills games let alone league wide.
You 100% try to win the game there. It's not even a consideration.
Josh was playing great and the decision to kneel was one of the more cowardly decisions that our overly conservative HC has made.

At this point, with McD being a defensive minded coach and calling the plays, we have lost all our games by one score.
If he can’t win with his defense and the offense did their part, then he deserves to be fired.
What argument is there to keep him?
1) His regular season win %*
2) Continuity**
3) Key injuries to the DEF torpedoed the season***
* Heavily skewed by having a top 3 QB on a rookie contract from 2020-2022
** Of devastating losses in the regular season/playoffs where his defense craps the bed
***Not a bad excuse honestly. Milano, Jones, and White are huge losses
-
Are you a member of the national media ?
I'm trying to decide who else could watch this game and think Josh Allen was any part of the reason that we lost.
We dominated the Eagles by 15 minutes of TOP.
Ball control doesn't matter if your DEF can't get a stop in 4th Q/OT.

I think I would've had Beane at a "B" before the season started, and I might move him up to a "B+" now.
Missing on Elam, Basham, Moss, and Ford keeps him from the "A" grade. Elam has time to turn it around but looks like a bust atm.
The Bills do not win one score games

You don't consider Toney lining up Offside as a gift ?
Broncos also gifted us a win when they missed a 41 yard FG. Unfortunately we returned the gift and gave them another shot with the 12 men penalty
Would be nice to see our defense close out a 1 score game without such extreme levels of drama
