It was a team loss. All units and players to blame. It's not all on McDermott and Frazier shouldn't be fired.
the defense was not only not elite against winning teams this year, it was only about average. Considering the amount of draft capital invested on the defense, average results vs good teams is not that spectacular.

Could the Buffalo Bills or the city of Buffalo, aka its fans, sue the NFL over the kickoff TD that wasn’t a TD? As pointed out it was clearly against the rules in the rule book to overturn the call and they did so anyways. They rewarded for something that was meant to be done rather than what was done. Any lawyers on this site?
A bitter and slow Sunday... obviously lol
My rage over that play has only grown since yesterday. I feel your pain.

Defense held Deshaun Watson and a stacked Texans offense to 19 points in regulation and we want to blame and fire the defensive coaches now?
the effort in the second half was a 38 point pace. the op was quite clear on distinguishing between the good half, and the complete debacle second half.

Passer Rating is largely regarded as a flawed stat (however it does correlate pretty well with winning) . Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen make such significant contributions as rushers, that there is a lot of discussion on how to evaluate the combined efforts for the QBs. One of the flaws in passer rating that I dislike, is that the wise decision to throw the ball away rather than take a sack, negatively impacts passer rating, while taking the sack has no impact. For the second and third year QBs, I took the stats that go into passer rating, Attempts, completions, Yards, INTs and TDs and combined them with each QBs rushing stats and sacks. Each rush and sack is added to attempts and completions both. The estimated negative sack yardage and positive rushing yardage are added. rushing TDs are add, and fumbles are added to INTs. It is interesting to note that L. Alexander and D.Watson are also fumbling machines, like Josh Allen. Might just because they run far more than anyone else. Anyway on the combined basis , Lamar edges out Mahomes among the young guns:

Yeah, I memorize all the links to stories pertaining to the Bills. In a profile of Sean, he said that between seasons he grades everything about his staff and team beginning with himself. And he seeks input from others on his performance. Believe what you want
so no public accountability. does blame others in public though. can we agree on that?

Who'd you rather be a fan of today? The Bills or:
The Patriots?
The Jets?
The Fish?
And that's just in our division. I'd rather be in OUR position than any of theirs.
OK, too small of a sample size for you? Well, how about we widen our search to the broader AFC as a whole:
Ravens?
Bengals?
Browns?
Steelers?
Texans?
Titans?
Colts?
Jaguars?
Chargers?
Raiders?
Broncos?
Chiefs?
Even on THAT list, I'd probably only want to swap places with the Chiefs, MAYBE the Ravens (based on coaching alone), and possibly the Titans. That's it. By my reckoning, the Bills' situation is better than TWELVE other AFC teams, which puts them in a really sweet spot at the moment. I know that spewing bile and raw emotion is all the rage these days and that logic and reason take a back seat more often than not. But if you look at the REALLY big picture, the Bills are in a pretty good place today with Beane and McDermott. Blowing all of it up would be a blunder of EPIC proportions.
The LAMP posting is strong with this one.

The problem is McD and Frazier don't attack enough on defense. They sit back, play zone, and sometimes soft zone/prevent, and expect that to win games; even with a poor offense. Odd philosophy to say the least.
If only someone would think "play fearlessly"

If I asked the average fan in 2017 where the Ravens and Chiefs would stack up in the AFC in two years.........they would have said those teams were getting old and they'd be rebuilding.
If you make good decisions you can turn around an entire team in a hurry.
Meanwhile we are hoping that year 4 of McDermott becomes year 1 of competent offensive football.
There is nothing disingenuous about not being accepting of that.
The basis of your sarcastic post to my OP....as evidenced by the excuses above.........was that you think it's understandable and OK that 3 years into the regime they continue to be one of the worst offensive teams in the NFL.
The existence of that kind of deeply engrained excuse making is why I made this thread.
Many of the fans on this board think of the Bills as akin to a mid-major college basketball team. They think the Bills can win on any given Sunday, but don't really think of the Bills as serious contenders to ever be champs. As a consequence these fans set low expectations, and are happy enough when the low expectations are exceeded. Their main measure of comparison is comparing the 2019 Bills to the 2016 Bills or some other bad version of the Bills. That is certainly their prerogative.
Some fans believe the Bills are on equal footing with the Salary Cap, drafting rules and equal share of TV money, and should be held to the same standard of success as the teams competing for the championship each year. These two views are in pretty strong conflict to each other.-

They've been here 3 seasons.... every season their offense is piss poor.
IMO Daboll shouldn't be here next season and someone other than McDermott should hire his OC for him. I'm convinced the guy is clueless offensively.
This team is all about the continuity train. You won't see an OC change, unless someone hires Daboll as HC.

Or Andy Reid?
Bud Grant?

Marv Levy?
George Allen?
Chuck Knox?
They never won the SB in their long careers.
McD just finished year 3 after he inherited a mess. We'll see what next year holds. He has shown he grades himself pretty severely as he grades others.
What I saw was a head coach he told his team to play fearlessly, then blamed the playoff loss on the qb "trying to do to much". Do you have a links to examples of where e publically held himself accountable?

Didn't see any crack back block on that call. Took us out of field goal range and a chance to win right there. Tic Tac b.s. call.
Frustrated....
Do you understand the actual rule? By the letter of the rule, the call was correct. Ford was blocking towards his own goal line.
A "common sense" interpretation of the play would make it clear it was not a blindside block. But the refs already used up their one "common sense" over ride of the actual rules, when they stole the TD from the Bills in the first half. -

Anybody on here happy with participation trophies, GTFO. The Bills just had an epic meltdown on national TV to a NOT GOOD Texans team. O, and we haven’t won a playoff game still since 1995.
McClappy and Daboll conservative tails cost us this game. This is what happens when you don’t go for the throat. Bill O’Brien was begging the Bills to beat his team, and they didn’t take advantage.
Running Frank Gore on 2nd down, punting at the Houston 38, and settling for FG’s cost this team. It’s a crying shame this team isn’t playing next week and it’s due to the conservative mindset from the top.
O, and don’t go to the airport and cheer on a team that totally collapsed. Raise the damn standard here and demand more. Ridiculous.
Wasted season, and next year the standard should be nothing less than AFC EAST CHAMPS. If not, heads need to roll.
I fear that in Sean McDermott , we have found our Marvin Lewis. Bigger fear is that we have found our Jason Garrett.

This ***** been going on all year and I've been roasted for calling it out.... what's so surprising?
That sequence and running the OT offense like it was a 2 minute drill were coaching malpractice. Someone should sue.

How does he see more targets than Brown and twice as many as Beasley today? All did about the same in yardage.
Better separation?

We will draft some players. Sign some free agents. And cut some current players. Every move will be made to improve the team. All 31 other NFL teams will also do this.

Our defense is elite.
Houston's isn't.
If we had Watson instead of Allen we win by more than 30.
if we had Deangre Hopkins we win by 20

Because he clearly gave himself up and that would have been the most horrendous call in the history of the sport, just my opinion though.
The ref knew he screwed up. Every Bills player knew he screwed up. Rules are rules. There was no reason to over turn that.

I say we offer Cleveland a second to take Daboll.
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - All Part of the Process
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Does "The Process" have milestones? Is one and done in the playoffs, considered success by most teams after three years of rebuilding in the modern NFL (and facing a historical easy schedule) ?
Is the year 4 milestone, win a wild card game? then lose in divisional round?
Then in year 5 win a divisional game and lose the champhionship game?
then in year 6 win the conference and lose the super bowl?
and finally in year 7 win the super bowl?
Because its seems like the process is more about bouncing around from 6-10 to 10-6 by beating bad teams and losing to good ones.
