Hail Murray was not Leslie’s fault. Mario Addison failed to contain, Murray threw a perfect pass and Hopkins made a perfect catch. The Bills best 3 pass defenders were on Hopkins. Can’t ask for much more than that

It’s funny by the narratives on Brian Daboll to change. I remember when he was hired in Buffalo. People took a look at his past stints, as this author did above, and came to the conclusion that he wasn’t any good. The word on Daboll was that he was a coordinator who wanted to run the ball more than he wanted to pass. Yet true to his word Daboll said he believed in tailoring an offense to its players strengths which is what he did in Buffalo. And yes, having Josh as his QB definitely helped his cause, but Daboll was a huge part of Josh’s development from his pre-draft interview to today. No one know how he will be as a HC, but I think he deserves as much of a shot as most candidates today

Edmunds is easily the most devise player in some time. He rarely makes plays and often appears to play poorly in games. Yet the guys from Cover 1 will literally argue with fans on Twitter trying to show how great he is and why the problems on the field aren’t his fault. It’s bizarre. Personally I don’t think he’s good enough and a big reason why this defense is soft

infuriating….no clue what happened there

Remember how everyone was saying to fire McDermott after the loss to NE? And how the Bills would’ve luck to finish 8-9? No one overreacts like Bills fans. I agree with what @Bangarangsaid. McDermott will get hired in a second if the Bills moved on. The Pegulas have made some bad decisions but not that bad.

Many people said this about the team last year

There’s a difference between being a good coordinator and a good head coach. If the Bills were to fire Frazier today, he’d be a DC by the end next week. Given his age, I’m not surprised he can’t get a HC gig. There’s a lot of successful coordinators who can’t. As far as Leslie at DC. I think he’s been good. I also feel that outside of the safeties and Tre, there’s a lack of playmakers on the defense. There isn’t anyone who steps up and makes big time plays like Hyde and Poyer have shown they can do. Ed Oliver and Matt Milano have flashed. Tremaine Edmunds has not The question is, is that players or scheme? We don’t really know.

McDermott isn’t afraid of firing assistants either. Rather than keeping coaches out of loyalty like Chan Gailey or Doug Marrone would do he got rid of underperforming coaches like Rick Dennison, Danny Crossman, and Juan Castillo. Despite the last :13, Frazier has not underperformed. There’s not a doubt in mind that McDermott will move on from Frazier if he feels it’s necessary based on his track record

No but they are going to roll them by 2+ scores.

He is a terrible HC and not a very good defensive coordinator

Do you think the Bills prefer Chad Hall as OC? He seems to be a rising star on the staff

you’re lucky man…. I’m a wreck!

Holy crap…I am nervous as hell

I don’t think this happens in 2022. Only because Vrabel seems to love the way that the offense runs through Derrick Henry. When the running game is rolling Tannehill is actually very good baiting teams with play action. AJ Brown is also coming into his own as a WR. I think they write off the playoff loss and the season to injury and run in back with Tannehill for one more year at least

Does the fact that both underdogs won today reduce the chances that the Bills win tomorrow? Like what are the chances that all road teams win in the playoffs?

The funny thing is 3 of those games weren’t really that great. 2 were very good. Yet his stats are still excellent

Ravens were bad on defense but what can you expect with all of their injuries? The life of a coordinator is fascinating. Martindale went from being a top candidate for a HC job to the unemployment line in the span of 5 months. Every opportunity to interview for a HC spot is huge

Hiring David Culley was almost as bad of a move. But this hire seems to be legit

Daboll is a logical connection…but what if Schoen hires Brian Flores and tries to trade their #1 picks to bring DeShaun Watson to NY? WOW

McKenzie should play Tyreek Hill on the regular Bills offense! Not NE. If they spend significant money on a WR, it will for a WR1. McKenzie has untapped potential but I don’t think that’s his ceiling. Ironically his hometown team Miami was interested last season and offered him a deal close to what Buffalo did, which is why he re-signed. I can see them making him a big offer

It’s funny how so many Chiefs fans are trying to convince themselves that the Bills defense isn’t good. Seems to me that they are pretty concerned and looking for a reason to rationalize why the Bills aren’t as good as they really are: To his point…there’s an element of truth there. The Bills were fortunate to play some bad QB’s but they dominated them.

It’s a misdemeanor. I don’t think this will have any impact on the game Sunday. He’ll go from the jailhouse to the field house in a few short hours

This right here. I remember listening to the Go Long podcast and Jim Monos said after the Pegulas hired McDermott Belichick called them unsolicited to congratulate them on making a good choice. Also last year when Josh destroyed the Patriot defense in Foxboro, Belichick spent a few extra moments talking to Josh which he rarely does. As you can tell by his press conferences he’s not the more jovial coach who would spend time/energy blowing smoke up your arse, so I’m thinking this was legit admiration

Not going but I heard plan tickets are ridiculous

I agree. The only thing separating Josh from the absolute top top tiers of QB’s (#1-4) is that he needs to be elite on a consistent basis starting this week in the playoffs. While overall his lows are a lot higher in most cases, he’s often been a little inconsistent week-to-week. They said he couldn’t have a better game against Belichick the second time around and he did. Now let’s see him string together 3 more excellent games!
