This is the key argument. Us as fans can go back and forth. And we can all agree to disagree. I want a championship and I don't see that coming. This regime has proven that they don't have what it takes to get there. Yes being good is way better than 17 years of garbage. But enough is enough and it's time for a change.

And obviously don't want any of it to happen, I want that ultimate prize. It's just my gut feeling at this time.

Bunch of guys on that list the Bills passed on as well.

So here's the thing, and ofcourse I might be wrong, but next year will be very disappointing. I think this 4th loss to the Chiefs will be so debilitating that we go through a hangover year and struggle a bit and don't sniff the AFC championship game. Like next year is gonna be the year many were expecting this year. That step back. You still have the Chiefs, Healthy Burrow, the Pats will be much better, Herbert second year with Harbaugh, Stroud, Lamar, Denver will be better, the Raiders if they get a QB somehow will be better with Carroll, the Steelers are always a threat. AFC is shifting and Bills will likely get left behind if they don't make changes. Buffalo and this brain trust has just gotten stale and have not gotten the job done. I just don't see an avenue where that changes. After that disappointing year, at that point, I think these guys are done.

Yeah I mean some of the fans have turned. I am one of those fans. The positive vibes and benefit-of-the-doubt stuff is done for me. Fans like me turning means absolutely nothing. When do the players turn? That is the key.

Go all in for Jevon Holland or Syracuse alum Andre Cisco. Either are a perfect fit. Holland has given us fits over the years. He tackles and is a former corner with great ball skills and is still just 25 years old. It also hurts the Dolphins to take him away. At corner, as a buy low, maybe they go after often injured Eric Stokes who they apparently loved pre-draft. I have always really liked Byron Murphy as a fit here, but I am not sure if they spend the money. I always thought Murphy would be a great safety convert as well.

I think he was a scapegoat. But spending that year under Dick Jauron senior advisor seemed to make McDermott forget everything Jim Johnson taught him. Somehow, Steve Spangnoulo remembers.

It sucks. It's coaching purgatory. Our best hope is Reid retires eventually.

So it’s coaching

He's a blue-chipper. Somehow the Eagles continue to grab guys like him, Mitchell, and Jalen Carter. It's insane how well they do in the draft.

Vrabel, McDaniels, Marronne...a bunch of douchebags who will get more out of their players than the nice guy coach we have.

Nail on the head. And to me, at some point, the players lose faith in their coach. And if they aren't there yet, it's a miracle.

I would not have a problem with that change.

Sir Andrew needs to learn to strike first with no mercy and stop being a wounded loser who has to drag himself up. Yeah, fortitude is cool, but winning is better.

Overall, McDermott is responsible for everything that happens on the field. He has created this risk-averse, scared-to-make-mistakes culture that reacts rather than dictates. He has every right to tell his OC what he wants. McDermott okays everything that happens on that field. Brady and Allen aren't just doing their own thing. It's more than just what happens on the field that very day. The team was outcoached and outclassed again. The team looked jittery, nervous and unprepared. That is all on my McDermott. To me, who replaces him isn't the issue. The issue is that he sucks and he will never win a Super Bowl. So turn the page and find someone else and see what happens. The fact that Bills fans are afraid to replace this milquetoast loser because we sucked for 17 years is crazy to me. He's no good. He isn't the one. Move on. This is coaching purgatory. We need a new voice and a new approach.

It's been determined that McDerrmott cannot do it. So why hold on to that? Move on. A new voice and fresh ideas could go a long way. There is unknown in looking for a replacement. That is a chance you have to take. There is one fact that isn't debatable, McDermott can not beat the Chiefs in the playoffs.

I love em. I always have and always will. They will not win a Super Bowl with this coach. I will still watch and have hope and get excited about free agency and the draft. It's part of who I am . I will never move on. But they will never win a super bowl with this coach. You can be supportive and realistic at the same time.

I think he is a figurehead. This is McDermott's D, it always has been. There is no creativity or aggression in it. It is passive Dick Jauron redux. How he and Steve Spanoulo both come from the school of Jim Johnson is crazy to me.

Gotta bring his DC with him. Otherwise, he will just be another guy neutered in a passive scheme.

For once I would like to be the bully who kicks people's butts and dictates on and off the field. I don't want to be the lovable losers who rise out of disappointment to have some marginal success. We need Josh to be a killer. We need aggression that just will never come with this regime. We need aggressive coaches who dictate rather than react.

There is only one move that can make it end. And sadly, it won't happen. Rinse and repeat.

McDermott is the problem. He will never bring in an outsider with fresh ideas. We've been down this imaginary road when we all wanted Rex Ryan to keep Jim Schwartz. Zero chance it will ever happen.

If players are not prepared to play, if the game seems too big for them, if they don't have viable replacements when injuries happen, that's on the staff. The bottom line is that the moment was too big for these guys. I blame the coach. The Chiefs played a guard at left tackle. And they were fine. It's all about coaching. All day every day. If McDermott did not have Josh, he wouldn't even be a .500 coach. To me, if anyone believes anything more than that they are delusional. He is not it, and he will never be it. It's about preparation and execution.

To me the logistics are that he will never win a championship here. This is the best he can do. So what is the point of doing another year with him? 1- There are still guys out there, and aside from Vrabel, none of the other hires are particularly interesting imo. 2- Brady should be guaranteed nothing. A team will never make a new head coach keep an assistant. 3- BB is the real answer or maybe Gruden. But something I would do is like HC Kingsbury, OC Davis Webb, DC Patrick Graham, Special Teams Darren Rizzi. Graham’s Raiders defenses certainly give Mahomes issues and Kingsbury is an offensive mind who could unlock more in Josh imo. 4- I like Brady but this thing needs to get blown up imo.

This right here is why you move on from McDermott. It is the only move you can make to possibly change the outcome. This thing is going nowhere and a change is needed. Let someone else try with this generational QB. People are so worried about who we replace the guy with. That doesn’t even matter at this point. If you bring McDermott back, you are guaranteed zero shot at a Super Bowl unless Mahomes tears up his knee and Reid has health problems and steps down and Lamar gets hurt. McDermott cannot do it. It’s never going to happen with him at the helm.
