I remember a certain passing play for Seattle in the Super Bowl a number of years back. Maybe not quite at the 1, but we know how it turned out. Allen is pretty much money on these sneak type plays. Just didn’t get in that time. I didn’t hate the strategy.
Crazy to think that a 42 point day on the road by any Bills team would be called a let down.
It’s not that they lose. It’s how they lose. A blow out loss hurts much less, than games we have a real chance to win. Any time a coach costs you a real chance to win it’s a major let down. How many times do we have to see it. Smh.

You disagreed with me, then walked through the logic and agreed with me?
They weren’t in comfortable FG range to begin with, they were likely going for it on 4th and 7 because taking that risk to go up 6 wasn’t going to make a difference. You back them up to 3rd and 17 and you’re playing the odds that that play results in a small gain, or possibly even no gain. Now they have to punt because going for it isn’t an option.
Sorry misread

That’s fair, and I totally agree. It was a mistake and one that essentially ended the game.
That being said, we also have to recognize that he was playing the odds when he accepted the holding penalty to force a 3rd and 17.
Respectively I have to disagree. Should have declined the penalty. 4th and 7 it would have been. Give them the fg. In a high scoring game like that Josh probably would have back doored them. With that being said mcveigh might have went for it anyway. But it may have compelled him to kick it. Who knows.

Sean McDermott is the head coach....
I'm not going to overreact and I don't see this happening in the playoffs but it was pretty atrocious on defense at every level including scheme.
I want McDermott here for a long time but he can't keep losing these classic Allen games. You can't lose games like this when your QB is transcendent
And that’s the problem. At some point Josh is going to lose faith in McDermott. If this happens it’s over. I feel bad for him. To watch him apologizing for his play during the press conference was infuriating to say the least.

Fans are already piling on McD for his end of game decisions (accepting the penalty with 5 minutes left and the TO after the sneak). I think there is fair criticism to both plays, however those two decisions are NOT why we lost the game.
Defense today:
11-15 on third down conversions (was 11-12 with about 5 minutes left in the game
1-1 on fourth down
0 sacks
38:30 time of possession for the Rams
457 total yards allowed
The game wasn't lost in the last 5 minutes, it was the poor playcalling by Babich and execution in the first 55 that really hurt us.
His clock management at the end of the game costed us the opportunity to at least have a better chance of winning. 7 percent chance of onside recovery or 15 percent chance our defense stops them. Should have played the odds. I’m not saying the d would have stopped them. But McDermott is the head coach and highly vaulted as a defensive guru. The buck starts and stops with him. No scapegoat needed.

This is the core fear that unlocked in every Bills fan today.
Problem is we have seen this movie so many times. Waiting for the customary playoff rerun.

I'd be more than happy to place a friendly wager that he defends that decision in any and all press conferences after the game.
Still waiting for his accountability from the 13 second coaching malfeasance.

Look.....here's the thing. I am really pissed off about how this game went down. I hate that McDermott and the defense literally blew up an all time career performance by their superhuman QB and that he can't enjoy it.
What does it mean in the long run? You can probably kiss the 1 seed goodbye, especially if the Chiefs beat the Chargers. Throw on top of that, we are about to go back on the road and play the hottest team in the league next week with a pretty comparable offense that has been way better all season than what we just played tonight. That doesn't breed a ton of excitement or confidence heading into next week and the playoffs.
Until this team finds a way to stop getting gashed in the run game, and finds the willingness to change up your defensive plan when what you're running isn't working, we aren't going to win anything. McDermott has 4 weeks to find a way to adapt and fix things. As much as he doesn't want to do it, or flat out refuses to do it, he has to explore fundamental changes to this defensive scheme. This light box, soft zone, crap will never shut down the good offenses in the post season. It never has and it never will. Allen is the best player on the planet, but even he, with 400+ yards and 6 freaking TDs can't bail out the ineptness of the coaching staff.
No truer words have ever been spoken.

it’s not a meaningless loss when you are trying to get the 1 aeed.
this is so a continuation of McD late game blunders.
the d was awful, but that does not excuse the HC continuing to make late game errors
So much for McDermotts “growth mindset mentality”. He better take that Sauron all seeing eye and beam it directly on himself.

I want, so bad, to be wrong about McDermott.
His culture is amazing and he’s a genuinely awesome person.
After Josh Allen, Sean McDermott would the best most emotional I get seeing win a Super Bowl…
But everyone knows that this is the fear in the playoffs.. and it’s a fear for a reason.
And how exactly does this happen when Josh has been at his very best time and time again and it’s still not enough to overcome McDermotts boneheaded decisions in high pressure situations.

A disaster. A league-altering decision. Will forever go in the history books as the worst coaching decision in history.
Oh wait.
It’s a a loss. It happens. Move on
Yeah. I mean McDermott will learn and we will never see this in the playoffs. McDermotts the best clock management coach I have ever seen.

Good learning experience but this game really doesn't matter. Starters are going down to injury, is it worth it for seeding?
Problem is McDermott just demonstrated he does not learn. Disturbing to see say the least. Very poor judgement when stressed. That use of a time out and qb sneak was the nail in the coffin. Almost as bad as fake punts at your 30 with damar Hamlin.

Accepting the penalty on the Rams drive.
Then, calling TIME OUT. Could have rushed to the line there & still been able to stop the clock. That ended the game. Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Said the exact same thing when both happened. It’s so infuriating. Expect the same ar some point in playoffs. Ridiculous.

No my view has not changed. Let’s use a time out and a qb keeper. So we have to do an onside kick. The stupidity is next level. Panicky McDermott strikes again. Waiting for it to come out again in playoffs.

I don't know how old folks typically are here, but I'm old enough to have followed the Bills through most of the team's existence. This regime is as good if not better than we've ever had. You can cling to your negatives if you want. We are in the Golden Age of Bills football. Appreciate it. It's not going to be this way forever. Look at New England.
This is yet to be determined. 4 afc championships in a row and 4 Super Bowl appearances has blown away anything this regime has done. With that being said one Super Bowl win outshines everything. Will they do it? That remains to be seen. But I will admit they have far surpassed my expectations this season.
