No, I’d rather they be able to win one score games from time to time, it’s either blow out or nothing and that’s not going to cut it. If they can’t learn to win in these close games, they’re never going to go the distance. I’m not expecting an undefeated season or anything like that, but after losing the way they did to close out last season, I think a W in this particular spot would’ve gone along way in showing this team has in fact taken another step forward.

Common theme regardless of why in this particular instance, is McDermott doesn’t win close football games… even before Josh, how many points did the Jags score in that playoff game and couldn’t pull off the upset W? He’s still very above average to elite in other facets of coaching, but the fact remains the guy loses close games until he starts proving otherwise. I don’t think he’s on any kind of hot seat as nobody wants to go back to what was before, but you do have to think, what coach wouldn’t want a chance to hitch their ride to 17?

How does any of that matter? The fact remains, the W was there for the taking, on more than one occasion. Great teams overcome adversity and find a way to win close games.

Can’t remember the last time I saw a Bills running back just go up and over a pile on the goal line… for as great as this offense can be, they get away from the basics in short yardage situations a bit too much for my liking. This loss feels far to similar to the Tennessee game from last year. Can’t leave Ws on the field in such a competitive conference. Losing games like this that are there for the taking just like KC makes me think there is a good chance McDermott has plateaued.

2nd and goal on the 1… why are you lining your monster QB up in SHOTGUN!?!? Fall forward 3 times please, stop trying to think outside the box. Embarrassing loss for the coaching staff.

Bills can’t win close games… just gross. KC needed 13 seconds, we had a minute and a half…

Gotcha, was just going by the OP.

Why was he even on the field in the 4th qtr?

Few things certain in life- death, taxes, and Kurt Cousins being absolute trash in primetime games…

If there’s ever a value in the 3rd like a Malik Willis or Desmond Ridder, who would be a great fit behind Josh and the team has no holes, I wouldn’t be mad.

The reverse Jinx worked… atleast he got some targets… but now do Cook too

Game is over… and yet we’re still running Singletary and Kumerow still in the game rather than giving Shakir some valuable game experience? I’m nitpicking, I get… but my draftkings dammit!

This is my beef with Leslie Frazier and McDermott, they just don’t adapt… these are the SAME exact routes that they kill us with year after with with AJ Brown. If their plan was to replace Brown with Burks, do they think Tennessee is going to stop trying to kill us with those crossing routes?

Pretty gross to see Tannehill just put his head down and get a yard while we’re dicking around with Moss and shotgun snaps on 4th and less than a yard

Zach Moss needs to get off my football team…

Right, but he’s out there running routes and catching passes… just surprised they have him in that role over Shakir. My eyes don’t lie, Shakir clearly a better option as a pure pass catching option in those situations, but we’ve seen McDermotts stubbornness in the past with insisting on giving vets priority, like Frank Gore.

Surprised to see Kumerow getting the outside snaps over Shakir… apparently they must not think as highly of Shakir as we assumed bc Kumerow certainly is nothing special.

Hope Diggs isn’t hurt… he motioned to somebody after that last catch, and then wasn’t back out there after.

And still a playoff team in an ultra-competitive AFC West somehow… imagine if they hit on just half of those picks.

Atleast Beane got something worthwhile back for Ford, they couldn’t even get a 7th back for Leatherwood… likely due to that inflated 1st round pick salary Vegas is now on the hook for. No way he can’t have more natural talent than Bobby Hart, right? Let Kromer bring it out of him if the kid has any heart for the game. He was… he’s been going top 50 above Jk Dobbins and AJ Dillon on DK Bestball. Surprised Mack was cut, he actually looked good in his last preseason game, and behind Pierce is the ghost of Rex Burkhead…

1-Due process fails sexual assault victims on a regular basis, hence why so many are found not guilty in criminal court but then liable in a civil suit. 2- clearly you’re not staying as up to date on the details as you should be, ie pictures of the victim that have been released… 3- once again, see one, most rapists never serve a day in prison for their crime. 4- so which virtue do I hold true? Defending those who are almost always skewered as having “ulterior motives”, when that’s almost always not the case? I.e. Ben & Kobe off the top of my head. Any time a high profile case hits the wires, everybody starts screaming “cash grab”, people drag the victims through the mud only to find out these individuals settled out of court. As if this mentality in public has no effect on other women coming forward. Oh and why do I focus on women, bc 9/10 rape victims are women… is that good enough for you? The victims skew super heavily to the female population. 1/3 women is victim of some form of sexual assault in their lives, that number is just unacceptable and attitudes like yours do nothing to help drive that number the opposite direction. 5- once again, rape victims are women an overwhelming majority of the time. These are hard facts. Sick of hearing let the courts sort it out. So what happens if there is no criminal conviction but he’s found liable in a civil suit, as so often is the case with these matters, or he settles out of court? Then we just look the other way. I myself don’t want the Mike Vick, Adrian Peterson, Tyreek Hills of the world on my team, why would I want this piece of garbage representing Buffalo in any way shape or form? 6- The NFL is a privilege, not a right. Araiza knowingly withheld this information from the Bills in the pre draft process. That alone is grounds to cut him, as this is the last thing a team with it’s eye on the Super Bowl needs less than two weeks fro, the start of the regular season. I’m just applying what I know combined with statistics. He admitted he had sex with a minor, at a party with alcohol He contacted her to tell her she should get tested for STDs Her idiot lawyer released pictures showing her bruising/physical trauma He withheld this information in the pre draft process Only 2-10%, with the number being believed to be around 6-8% of accusations are false. That means over 90% of rape accusations are in fact true. Given the information we do know, combined with the numbers supporting accusers, and him withholding information, I don’t get how he deserves to keep his roster spot.

He wasn’t in the house but texted her that she should probably get tested for STDs because he’s what, just an all around nice guy?

Just because you post some diatribe of long winded nonsense doesn’t make you any more right… the way you’re going to bat for this dude is just weird. And these stats are 100% relevant https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/06/less-than-percent-rapes-lead-felony-convictions-least-percent-victims-face-emotional-physical-consequences/ Because? Everybody keeps saying why didn’t they file a criminal case? Why file a case that’s 99% likely to end in favor of the defendant? More of those mental gymnastics you like so much.

No it’s stances like yours that lead to victim shaming/blaming. You’re completely out of pocket here. https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2018/10/06/less-than-percent-rapes-lead-felony-convictions-least-percent-victims-face-emotional-physical-consequences/ LESS THAN ONE PERCENT get convicted…

I’m not even sure where you’re trying to go here. You said we have a “system of justice”, but the statistics show literally less than 1% of rapists are found guilty of their crime in criminal court, so how is that “justice”? I’m saying it’s not an accurate gauge of what did or didn’t transpire. Ben never found guilty in criminal court, he was still punished (slapped on the wrist) by the league. I’m advocating the Buffalo Bills don’t line this dbags pockets, period.
