So run it back again with someone that we know cannot get us past the Mahomes and Burrows of this league? Definition of insanity

If you think they were pretty good lastnight, then I'll take whatever it is you are on

What makes you so confident that even if by some amazing luck we play Mahomes or Burrow with a healthy team, that we will win? McDermott routinely gets out coached and his defense gets trounced every playoffs against these guys You're talking hypotheticals with zero evidence that any McDermott defense can beat those teams in the playoffs. We now have four years of his defense getting absolutely worked

Insanity We have all the evidence we need on McDermott and his failures in the playoffs against legit QB's and coaches McDermott beats up on lesser teams and QB's until it comes playoff time...then he gets undressed I'm out on a McDermott led Bills team next season. Not doing it

I disagree He hasn't proven a damn thing against the top QB's in the playoffs...they have abused his defense...healthy or not. You will make excuses every year and say x person was out, they had injuries, etc This time they had the home game, and they had a KC offense that hadn't shown anything all season. This was their best shot, and they laid an egg again. Your evidence is regular season wins, but my evidence is postseason losses. We are talking postseason here, so my evidence is more compelling

They may be in "contention" meaning in the playoffs, but they aren't truly contenders...they are PRETENDERS

Playoffs, my guy Totally different story

Legendary is completing that pass to Shakir to put us up 4 with less than two minutes He was fantastic, but he needed to make that throw to Shakir

They need a coach that doesn't have his guys fold on defense every time. It would be great if Diggs actually caught the ball...same with Sherfield, Cook, and Davis when he's actually healthy. Problem is that if Mahomes or Burrow have the ball at the end, they will absolutely get whatever they want against our defense. That falls on the coach

Easy for the Chiefs offense to show up when McDermotts defense is a sieve every playoffs I did get a good laugh though at MVS having hall of fame hands against us He will probably never make a catch like that again

We can stop Lamar and the run game, so I would say yes. KC has no shot

McDermott is the definition of insanity If you think the result will be different in the playoffs next season, then you don't live in reality

Josh did things no other QB did to that KC defense in this game. Over 21 points, and a TD on Sneed. Josh worked miracles in this game, and McDermott couldn't get his team to muster anything besides one stop late. They will use the injuries as an excuse, but what about the last three playoff exits before this one? What happened with those? It was the same thing where the defense failed Josh...not the other way around. If you are the coach and the D coordinator and you pride yourself on that, and you continually fail when it matters most, then it's time you hand in your keys

He actually mentioned it in his post game, but said it wasn't an excuse. But by mentioning it, you are actually using it as an excuse. Don't even say anything about it...say no excuses and we didn't get it done. While you can point to injuries in this game as a reason as to why they couldn't get it done, we have factual evidence that anytime a McDermott led team faces a top contender, they get pushed around and they have their way with his defense. We also had maybe the worst fake punt decision ever in the playoffs that would have been the reason we lost if it wasn't for a miraculous play by Poyer. If you don't think that KC out coached us by a wide margain in the second half, then you aren't using your brain. Spags adjusted and dared Brady to beat them with the passing game, and it worked. McDermotts defense came out and gave up a TD with zero resistance. We finally had the advantage yesterday being at home and playing a KC offense that wasn't very dangerous, and we blow it again. When does it end? Where does it stop? The definition of insanity is repeating the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. There should be zero expectations for this team starting next season if we don't overhaul the coaching staff

It's called acceptance Accept what this team is and what it will be as long as McDermott is the coach Billieving in any other result besides playoff failure is completely delusional and just defies all logic and common sense at this point.

You need big play guys to have a big play offense. And our big play guys can't catch the ball consistently

Another poor decision made in this game was playing Rasul Douglas. Go watch all the replays and you'll see him numerous times being exposed as he was slow and unable to move like he could when healthy Elam should've played over him, and only play Rasul if needed

TBD didn't want Hopkins...it was stick with Gabe Davis LOL

McDermotts defenses have folded every playoffs...regardless of who was hurt or not If Poyer doesn't make a play, that fake punt call goes down as one of the worst calls ever in the playoffs that lost us the game. Josh had to play a perfect game just to have a chance cause McDermotts D couldn't even put up a fight But, sure...McDermott is obviously the guy who will get us over the hump. Just give him the perfect team

Lots of fans are going to be right there with you A McDermott led Bills team is a team destined to get smoked by a legit QB and coach in the playoffs Who is supposed to be excited for that?

Couldn't agree more, and one of the best posts I've read here tonight

This regime is toast Nobody believes they can get us over the hump, and with good reason. The data is there, and so is the history. The Bills are not a legitimate threat from next season on, and there's no argument otherwise. The tone of the fanbase will be much different next season if McDermott is back. Nobody will actually billieve that this team has what it takes, and that is a bad place to be in as an organization. Your move, Terry

Asking Josh to play a perfect game is an unfair expectation that he still comes close to achieving, and probably does if Dawkins holds up for another half second. Instead of criticizing Josh, McDermott needs to be held accountable for his defense folding like origami in the playoffs against these top tier teams with franchise quarterbacks every single playoffs

You don't cut a player of value, and Diggs has value I can see the argument that you take your medicine for a year and deal him and take the cap hit if it nets you something of real value back, but I'm not cutting our best WR by far for nothing except cap space the year after next. That's insanely stupid

This will always be debated, and both sides have an argument. I am on the side that you take the touchdown if it's there. He just got knocked off his spot enough to alter the throw that he missed Who knows what happens if he takes Diggs underneath. We will never know
