For me any real discussion about McDummy still comes back to how this team has performed on the road this year:
@ NYJ - Loss, in overtime despite Aaron Rogers going down with season ending injury on first drive. (non playoff team)
@ WFT - Win, best overall win/performance on road but Allen and offense was not great as defense carried them (non playoff team)
* Jaguars - Loss, I know this was technically a 'home game' but we all know what happened between the big injuries and really getting dominated from start to finish
@NE - Loss, against Mac Jones and a team that then went on to lose 5 straight after this. (non playoff team)
@ CIN - Loss, against a team that was starting to get hot before Burrows season ending injury. (non playoff team)
@ PHI - Loss, Probably Allen's best game of the year and he certainly hasn't been anywhere close to it since. Eagles have since loss every game they've played other than the Giants. (playoff team)
@ KC - Win, but probably would have lost if not for the infamous Toney Offside call on a play that would have taken the lead for the Chiefs in final minute of game. Also important to note the Bills were 1-5 away from Buffalo up until this point. (playoff team)
@ LAC - Win, but barely against a QB with less than 5 career starts and interim head coach that has never even held a DC or OC position in the NFL. (non playoff team)
@ MIA - TBD (playoff team)
My point here is that regardless of the outcome on Sunday night, there's very little here to indicate this team is going to win a playoff game, especially on the road where Allen/McD have never done that.
why bother with all the discourse when you stated your position very clearly in your first 7 words
the drought did so much damage to this fan base so it is all understandable I suppose; the PTSD will probably take a full 10 years to recover from and we are only in year 5

I don't put a lot on the HC. The OC and DC call the plays. The positional assistants drill the players. The players play the games. The HC is mainly a coordinating person who gets the last say when needed, which isn't very often.
So if you have great OC and DC and other staff, it is totally disfunctional to fire the HC bc that means a new HC replaces all the staff, setting the players and field performance back months/years.
McD is obviously much more agressive than Frazier and the defense is much more an attacking defense. Frazier watched the defense, McD actually calls the defense play by play.
I think it is insane to replace McD and set everything back by years. Why would you do this? Winning and losing games in the NFL is a knifes edge right now, I want as much stability as I can.

At some point the players have to execute. JA with multiple in accurate throws, several drops, poor OL play. Not all on the OC with either guy. I would be surprised if Brady is not back win or lose.
yeah, offensive misfires are pretty much 100% execution errors Josh or WRs screwing up in passing game

This upcoming draft has to put WR as the top priority. Say what you will about Diggs (I don’t think he magically fell off a cliff mid-season, I think he’s working past an injury we aren’t aware of personally) but at some point will slow down and settle into a WR2/Slot type of player. We need speed, size, and a menace on the outside. Shakir I feel is a very good option at #3 and Kincaid has great hands. Not sure if he’s ever gonna rack up a ton of YAC but he will be trusted to catch when it’s thrown his direction.
I’m not sure who will be there at 32 (fingers crossed 🤞) but there’s a precedent to find our future WR connection with Josh sooner than later. There is a lot of talent at the position this year, and god help the league if we hit on a top-tier WR.
no top WRs will get out of the top 20 , that's for sure. deep draft for WRs , tho

At its core, these guys play football at this level mainly to "make money". Ed Oliver as much as admitted as much when asked about his increased sacks this year... he immediately referenced his big bonus for reaching 10 sacks rather than how it helped the team. and his sack bonus is small relative to his base contract, which sort of proves the point. He says "that's what they pay me to do". Value exchanged for value.
Fans get lost in this "win one for the Gipper" mindset when guys like Jones, in a contract expiration year where he has very little on tape, needs to get back on the field somehow, anyhow, to show he still "has it" so that he can get a new big contract from some team for next year. Especially important now, as this will be his last big contract in all likelihood, so he needs to strike while the iron is hot. I'm not convinced that winning Super Bowls, etc. is front and center for most NFL players. The next big contract is.
He would not be in such a rush to get back if he was signed for next year, in my opinion. Maybe I'm wrong, and maybe some NFL players are more altruistic than I think (eg. Matt Milano, however I think he just screwed up) , but these guys mostly ball out in the last year of their contract bc they want to increase their market value, period. Eg. we shall see, but IMHO Epenesa and Floyd ain't takin "home town discounts" to help the team win the SB next year. They'll go where the $$ tak$s them.
Hate to burst the balloon that Jones is coming back to "help the good ole team" , but it's largely about the $$ fellas.

Could be a defensive fist fight without many, if any, big splash plays.
BB will probably double cover Diggs and take him out of the game as he always does
Bills probably won't be able to run the ball on the Pats very well , so no Cook splash plays there.
I'm guessing the splash plays will be from the Defense when it comes down to Zappe+a bad O line vs. Josh in the pass situations.
So maybe pass rush causing a Douglas pick six turns a dull, close game in Bills' favor. So I'm going with Douglas.

hmm, maybe I'll take a short drive up 95 and see this one.. wave my own purple towel for a couple hours

It had the 5th lowest viewership numbers of the season ahead of only 3 overseas games and a Saints/ Panthers Monday night game.
The earlier game between the Bengals/Steelers had twice the viewers.
I'm guessing that the majority of people that signed up for peacock to see this game will dump peacock after the playoff game (which I'll bet is this seasons lowest rated playoff game)
I'll be dumping it as soon as the NFL is off of it. don't need any more reruns of the partridge family to choose from

He largely admitted yesterday that the knee isn't right just yet, so he's at pretty much the stage Tre White was last year... back but not really back. More support for the history of ACL tears ruining the season of the injury AND the next season. Tough call for Beane and Co. in the offseason. Will Von be old Von next season or semi functional Von next season? What are the alternatives? Edge rushers are hard to find and very very expensive

not sure its very fair to either team to flex the game to 8pm , as the loser may be forced to play an away wild card game against an unknown opponent on a short week the next Saturday . The fairest to all parties would be 4:25 on Sunday as the Bills can get back to WNY early enough in the evening to be ready to start preparations for (whoever) they play in 5 days.

Almost anyone can see that Allen turns the ball over too much. Allen has a turnover in almost every single game. His big play ability trumps some of it but if Allen would just learn to take the easy stuff a little more often and stop throwing 15 yards down field into coverage we probably aren't fighting 3 and 8 teams for wins in the 4th quarter as often.
this team lives (and dies) with Josh. if he goes sugar high Josh, we lose . just hope he becomes late career Elway during the playoffs and just hands the ball off

he's setting up the league for the Miami game and beyond.
just kinda layin' in the weeds, waiting the strike

#2 seed:
- Beat NE, MIA
- MIA lose 1 of next 2
- KC, JAX, IND, HOU lose 1 of next 3
All likely except Bills win at MIA and KC lose 1. Think if Bills do win out, they'll be #3 seed. Would be great to get that #2 and have KC come here in the divisional.
now that's the attitude.. well said

If Toney’s foot isn’t over the line we are not in the playoffs right now.
if philly's kicker doesn't make a once in a career 69 yarder in a driving rainstorm we are. are we beat the NFL's top 3 teams in consecutive order
so there. stick that in your debbie downer
Trust the Process. go Bills. just win. don't really care what the formula is. if the refs want to hand us the SB , so be it

The Bills only ran 55 offensive plays, due to the turnovers. They need to clean it up but they were clearly off.
Why Harty and Settle are even on the roster escapes me. Harty is just not effective. Settle is just not effective.
Put Hyde back there and have him fair catch everything. No more taking possessions away from Josh to gain a few yards on punt returns.
Put Poona in the rotation and take Settle out.
What is so hard about that?
Wow, this board has turned even me into a hardened critic. Yikes. go bills.

only on this board would you see just an OP.

Yeah, yeah, and the minute they lose a close game bc the refs are asleep at the wheel, etc. the irrational idiots who dominate this board will pull all their knives out looking for McD's head.
I'll say it again, with all the moves they've made this year (eg. swapping Edmunds for Bernard - great, patient development there in spite of fan idiocy, Douglas / Joseph in for Jones/White midseason, etc etc etc. , patiently solving the Milano replacement dilemma, today's payoff from the totally under-the-radar hiring of Joe Brady in 2022, etc etc ) and overcoming midseason injuries on and off the field McBeanes are killing it.
Sticking to the "Process" of constant roster improvement with quality people without chasing the cap busting shiny objects is the engine behind all this. With the young guns coming up, they'll be contenders for years.
and Ty Dunne, that ba-tard, I hope he got all the clicks he wanted for Christmas with his holiday hit job in McD. f him
Go Bills!

Trading for Douglas has turned the bills into a chippy hard hitting defense. The guy is a baller
and Rapp and Dodson, who are the anti-Hyde , Poyer, Rapp and Dodson; they are looking to hurt you, whereas Hyde / Milano avoid big hits.

NFL Bite. You guys need a millennial for these kind of problems. Fortunately, I have two of them. They don't pay for anything.

McD's defenses held the NFLs two best offenses to 10 (Dallas) and 20 points (Miami) with two different lineups.
He's not perfect and he has publicly admitted that fact.
The "fire McDermott " crowd needs to sit down, shut up, watch and appreciate it all. The defense was hyper aggressive, near the edge of assault a couple times and they were in the right place in the right time.
This team is a problem now for any opponent, what do you defend? Pass, run, Cook, Allen, who, what?

wow it took just 4 posts for the McBeane haters to come back out. such a sad bunch this board is in large part. just blasted the so called best team in the league on 100% coverage national TV and people just can't wait to trash something.
I'm with PTR, still just soaking this all in after 20 years of suck. McBeanes are killing it. Trust the Process. They will get you sad people your $15 SB tee shirt eventually.

Vivid Seats projecting more Bills fans at the game Sunday than Dolphins fans
in The Stadium Wall

I believe it. Most of these seats were bought long ago.
