Augie, none of this is personal.
I make the case that McDermott has too much power and that Beane is his hand selected puppet. I also think that McDermott has botched most of his drafts and even contract signings by being too defense oriented for today's passing, offense dominated NFL. When I post these things, some folks like it. Others choose the vomit icon and that's OK too.
Imo, McDermott is a decent game coach with WAY too much authority. I also am skeptical of him being able to be in charge of the entire organization and also run the defense. Would I like to see him replaced? I sure would, but this should not and hopefully does not put me at odds with other Bills Fans. It's simply jmo.
Anyway, I hope that all is well.
GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh it will put you on lots of Bills fans poop list. I've been advocating cutting ties with McD long before many have. It's just recently people are seeing what I already saw.
Not that I'm smarter than anyone. Sometimes the blind squirrel finds the nut.

OMG that is very witty. Thanks for the laugh.

It really is difficult to make any definitive judgements with such a small sample size. Eagles fans ran Reid out of town and he was unable to get over the hump with the Chiefs until he got Mahomes. Now he is considered one of the greatest coaches ever.
I hear a lot of people who are certain that McDermott can’t win the SB. Does this rationale also apply to Allen? I mean he has been unable to beat Mahomes in the playoffs so does that mean he cannot be a SB winning qb? There are a myriad of reasons this team has failed to get over the hump, but I don’t think our HC or QB are in anyway holding this team back.
How can you say that after 13 seconds? The Cinci thrashing where the team wasn't prepared, terrible game plan, and out coached? There are probably at least 10 significant reasons why would could reasonable conclude McD isn't the guy. I'm talking about post season and an eventually SB.
Besides optimism I don't know what McD supporters could point to for evidence to support their thinking?
I'm having trouble understanding your perspective.
3 hours ago, Ga boy said:I agree that our DL didn’t step up, but stopping run requires more than 4 guys. KC loaded the box to stop our run in 2nd half. Those 7 for KC, and the other 4, were healthy. You can call it an excuse but the D we put out there on game day would’ve lost us the games with Fish and Stillers.
Does it take more than 4 to rush the passer? Mahomes didn't even get a scratch on him.

McDermott has a .640 all time win percentage just behind Andy Reid .641. McDermott’s win percentage is better than Tomlin, John Harbaugh, Bill Cower, Sean McVay, Pete Carroll, Bill Walsh, Joe Gibbs, Bill Parcells just to name to a few. He took over a losing culture and we have been a consistent winner since. Lesser coaches have been on the Super Bowl so there is no reason to think that he could not win it.
Only 1 team wins in the end each year and it takes playing your best at the end of season, a few bounces to go your way and to be relatively healthy. It is not like he has been u able to win in the playoffs as he has essentially been beaten by Andy Reid and the Chiefs most years. So if the Chiefs want to swap Reid for McDermott, sure I’ll do it but that ain’t happening. The chances of actually getting an upgrade to McDermott are slim. The team is much more likely to take a step back rather than finding the coach that can actually outcoach Reid.
Sure McDermott can be rigid at times, but more often than not he is able to adapt and correct mistakes. I think he has some degree of self awareness and he has improved as a coach. He was aggressive during the Chiefs game and other than who actually carried the ball on the fake punt, I had no issues with his coaching performance. Essentially, our big time players like Diggs, Oliver and Cook failed to make enough plays and we lost by 3 points having a completely depleted defense on the back 7.
It is disappointing losing to the Chiefs again, but realistically most every other team in the league has done so too in the last 5-6 years. I thought the team rallied around McDermott this year and that showed me something. I understand the frustration but it really makes no sense to get rid of the bird in hand that has this team as a contender year in and year out.
That's a fair point of view. I disagree with it but it's fair.
There is ample evidence to think McD can't get us there. Of course, no one can predict what will happen. But one just can't ignore the facts.
Also, I'm not afraid of a coaching change. I think it's flawed to think another coach wouldn't be as successful.

OUCH! That really stings! 😂
Tell me, who do you replace McD with? Why are they a slam dunk to get better results than the guy with the best winning % in franchise history? Sell me. Please try. Without a solution it’s just more whining.
Do you realize that it’s the same few posters going round in circles here?
Augie, I think you can lead this Bills team to a playoff birth. Just ride Josh Allen and you will do just as well or better than McD.
See the point? A little bit of coaching competence is all it takes.

It means you’re in the playoffs, have a home game and have a chance. It beats sitting home, which is what we did prior to McD. History has proven that making a change at HC does not guarantee better results.
I’ll leave you all to your little pity party now. Notice that is it the same few people here going round and round. Most of the sane people are staying away.

Staying away because they have a losing argument. You finally conceded. Wise choice

A lot of fans have higher expectations than winning the AFC East. With Allen at QB the AFCE title should have been a gimme over the last few years. The pats and jest have been basement dwellers and Miami has only offered any real competition and that's only been over the last 2 years. So, I don't think winning the AFCE has been something to really hang a hat on over the last few years.
Prior to Josh, they backed into the playoffs that year on a fluke play and then blew a huge lead in a typical Billsy fashion.
But, hey, run it back if that's good enough for you. I don't see anything really changing (except maybe a step back) and a lot of fans have had enough of the same old, same old.
Well said!

We will have an AFCE banner raising ceremony at the home opener next year. Who needs a Super Bowl win when you can proudly display your 4-time AFCE championship banner.
Definitely a time for celebration.
Kind of like the Lakers winning the in season tournament championship. Why aren't the fans happy?

All we have done is win since he arrived. He took the Bills to the playoffs prior to Josh arriving while ending the drought. He’s won the AFCE for four straight years. He has the highest winning percentage of ANY coach in franchise history. I don’t like whiney people who constantly need instant gratification.
Instant gratification? We Bills fans have been more than patient under McD.
ESPN right now is talking about how they can't believe Poyer and Hyde don't have rings.
The Bills team has lost 3 straight divisional playoff round games.
McD is 5-6 in the playoffs and dismal past the wild card round.
All this with Josh Allen. Come on man
All the regular season wins and AFC East titles are secondary to playoff success. Sure it's a nice consolation prize if you will. Sure it makes regular season football fun to watch. Definitely a plus! If that's your goal then under McD Bills football is more enjoyable and successful.
If your goal is to see a super bowl and win one then that's a whole different story. I don't think it's unreasonable to question whether McD can led his team to this path. The evidence is getting stronger and stronger that he can't. Just look at his playoff history.
The Bengals and Burrow own the Bills
The Chiefs and Mahomes own the Bills.
McD and Beane have had no answers to beat either team come playoff time. News flash! Those teams aren't going anywhere.

If you play a team 3 times and only force 4 punts total in those playoff games played who is at fault?
I don't get why some McD supporters aren't seeing the big picture here. Reid and the KC Chiefs straight own the Bills in the playoffs. The Student (McD) will never take down the Master (Reid) here in this case.
Lets try again next year though for the 4th time and see if it changes.
100 % agree. Let's keep running it back.
Beane and McD built a team to beat the Chiefs. I guess it's a work in progress. Maybe a 5 year plan?

All good points. Our D on game day was worse than those Fish. Considering the circumstances, our game plan was perfect. The coaches got it right. Even the GOAT coach would’ve done the same. Remember what he did in our first SB?
I failed to mention that the Bills D line was as healthy as it's been all year. They failed to take advantage of the weaker KC tackles. They produced zero sacks on Mahomes and very limited pressure.
In the second half, the Chiefs oline did a very good job with their run blocking schemes. Pacheco was quite successful running the ball vsca healthy Bills front.
In essence, the Chiefs Oline was mostly successful vs the Bills healthy Dline.
Everyone wants to talk about injuries which is true. However, the Bills Dline also failed to step up. This really hasn't been discussed much.
Who is in charge of the defense?
Just now, Augie said:You don’t like him. I’m pretty sure that is a solid start.
That's obvious but make your case for McD staying. I mean there is one to be made even if I disagree.
32 minutes ago, AmishRifle said:I think that McD’s defensive strength is the back end of the defenses and his ability to disguise coverages. McD’s propensity to stay in nickel defenses leads to the amount of injuries we continue to sustain. The system is causing the injuries. I think we need to change the style of defense that we play. As we go through multiple players we lose the ability to disguise coverages and the overall efficiency of the defense suffers.
I think most posters are correct in their assertions that our Divisional Playoff woes are laid at the feet of the defense. My point is that it’s the style of defense that we play that leads to the injuries and eventual attrition that results in Playoff collapses. We need a change on the defensive side of the ball.
my two cents!
Only one way that happens.

The bills barely beat Skylar Thompson because Josh Allen was a turnover machine in that game. It wasn't coaching.
Coaching had a lot to do with it. 1the Bills offense was unprepared for the multiple pressure looked the dolphins D gave them. They failed to adequately call plays that took advantage of their zero looks. Dorsey received lots of criticism for his play calling. You can rewrite history here.
The Bills were fortunate to win that game. The QB incompetence saved them more than anything.
Coaching certainly didn't win them the game.

The difference is the defense comparison. Let’s see, KCs defense has Jones, a premier secondary, and no injuries. Ours was hobbled. We knew Mahomey would score at least 30, and we limited them to 27. The game plan almost worked. I doubt that a track meet would’ve been better because we would’ve had to score 50 against that D. Unlikely.
You fail to mention a few things. The Bills were favorites to win the game. The Bills were playing at home. The Chiefs offense looked as beatable and less explosive as they ever have. The Bills came into the game red hot. The Bills players and fans had been waiting for this exact opportunity for years.
This was probably the best chance the Bills had to beat KC. They squandered another opportunity under McD.
No we didn't know Mahomes would score at least 30. They didn't score that the week prior vs a poor Miami D in their house.
The Bills offense was completely healthy and they have one of the best QBs in the league. Yes the KC D is very good. However, the Bills offense has to rise to the occasion. It didn't which seems to be a common occurrence in divisional round playoff games.
You can point to all the excuses you want. There will always be excuses available. "It's tough to win it all" is another you can use. At some point, the excuses just don't hold it's value. I believe after 3 straight playoff one and outs the excuse narrative gets old, diluted, and stale.
A coaching change at one Bills Drive is as clear as day for many Bills fans. Unfortunately, that's not happening and the likelihood for progress with this regime seems suspect at best.

I think McDermott is a very solid coach, and we had a lot of adversity w/ the injuries.
But this certainly seems like the ceiling w/ him. To win a SB, we'll need a lot of luck.
I don't think he deserves to be fired. But we may be at a point where we just need some new energy. This team has almost too much psychological baggage at this point, and a change at HC could be a catalyst for a whole new direction & attitude.
Absolutely in agreement. The team have never been able to recover from 13 seconds. May even be a subconscious thing.
20 hours ago, Augie said:People are upset and he’s the easiest figure to lash out at. They are quite certain that whoever replaces the coach (with the highest winning percentage in franchise history) will do better. I’m not so certain.
What's certain is that a Bills led McD team has lost 3 straight divisional round playoff games. Two of the them were at home.
You do realize the Bills team has one of the best QBs in the NFL.
A solid NFL coach can do at least what McD has accomplished. I see little optimism that McD can progress this team further. Why would you? Make your case as to why to keep him?

I commented the other night that in his post-game presser, it seemed like there were a lot of things he wasn't saying. I didn't want to read too much into it - but he HAS to be frustrated that he's still carrying this team, and by playing as well as he is & coming up short yet again.
And we can see why this week. In addition to it just being disappointing, half of the talk in the media is stuff like "is Allen overrated?", and dissecting his decision to go for an OPEN TD like he threw a pick into triple coverage.
I can't name another Bill who made an impact play on Sunday. The defense - McD's specialty - was an epic letdown for a 3rd year in a row.
Agree. I almost hold a little resentment towards McD because he's holding back Allen.
Allen at the least should have a SB appearance and all likelihood at least one ring.
I can't imagine what Josh really thinks about 13 seconds. That was the most dominate and spectacular QB playoff performance perhaps in the history of the NFL.
Coach McD ripped out Allen's heart before our very eyes. The narrative by many is Allen is owned by Allen. McD definitely contributed to that narrative.
I believe the team never fully recovered from that devastating day. Perhaps subconsciously the players can't get it done. The proof is in the next two years that followed.
Cinci thrashed the Bills at home. The team was unprepared and not ready to play. That's really not up for debate. I know there were extra ordinary circumstances in play. But, since when doesn't a coach receive criticism for that. Isn't it the very job of a coach? Yet, he got a free pass from the soft media and gullible fan base. Jerry Sullivan where were you?
The Bills finally got their dream scenario. A home playoff match up vs the Chiefs. Catching the Chiefs when they look more then beatable and less dangerous. What could go wrong?
Coach McD and the Bills players walked off the frat in defeat in front of their fans. An all too familiar scenario.

I wouldn't call it a killer season. I'd call it a turbulent regular season that ended in a killer fashion.
I call the playoff run very disappointing and underwhelming.

So who thinks Allen wants out after failing in the divisional round a few more times ?
I don't think he wants out. He probably is thinking about all the blown opportunities and maybe starting to question if this regime can take the step. He will never say that. Other players probably have seconds thoughts too. It's probably the elephant in the room. I'm surprised that McD hasn't lost some of the locker room.
McDermott - Excuses, Valid but concerning
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by newcam2012
That's fair. I do think the offensive game plan was solid. I'm not in agreement with the criticism I've heard with regards to Brady. Overall, the game plan was solid. The oline was great in the first half pushing around their Dline.
Adjustments were made by Spags. He added another guy on the box and did some run blitzing. It definitely hurt the Bills run game.
The Bills offense didn't punish the Chiefs enough for committing to stop the run. The Bills receivers couldn't separate enough on their talented secondary. Brady took some deep shots and the Bills WRs missed very catchable balls. Probably, the difference in the game.
Didn't finish out the final drive. I hated the first down run. I thought they should have rolled out Allen and used him as a duel threat. Either run it or pass it. I think Josh would have been unstoppable.
Wondering if the Bills thought they were in 4 down territory? Because the playing calling didn't seem to bare that out. I would have tried to at least get to a 4th and 2 or 3. Didn't seem like they were in 4 down mode. Maybe I'm wrong. Ideally, another first down was needed. Take the clock down to less than 13 seconds (just kidding). Burn it as much as possible and get that TD. A first down would have done that I believe. I know easier said then done.
The offensive game plan was fine. The combo of the Bills lack of WRs talent and the elite secondary of the Chiefs proved detrimental.
On defense, I'm not sure what McD was doing? They had a difficult time stopping the Chiefs. They didn't punt for an awful long time. To their credit they made a huge stop to get the Bills the ball.
All in all, the Bills coaching wasn't bad at all. However, it just felt like the Bills players and coaching were a dollar short sort of speak. Like it was unlikely the Bills could pull it out. Perhaps, it's me and my mindset. Just feels like this regime always falls short. Really sucks.
I think about the Kelly days in the 90s. I know different team, different era, and different players. But I remember when Kelly had that ball for the final drive it was money. Same with Brady, Burrow, and Mahomes. With Allen, I'm less confident. More hopeful than I should be. I ask myself why? It's not because of the lack of talent from Allen. It's because of the lack of talent around him with includes coaching. The belief isn't there for me. I think that's where McD falls woefully short. I'm not so sure he believes. His presser sure gives indications of doubt. He has fallen far too short too many times come playoff time. Absolutely, why I'm advocating change. Others, like yourself haven't seen enough I suppose.
