Be Nice!
I can't believe how many people were in other threads this week saying that McD is a fraud, he's not genuine, the team doesn't support him. Gimme a break.
This team is motivated and pissed off, and is completely together. Y'all should get on board. It could be special.

So you would take Bill if he craps himself late in games and can’t win anything past the regular season? He’s like the anti McD as far as results.
Believe it or not, I can think you guys put way too much stock in the media and overreact AND agree McD has sucked late in games AND think that he's a hell of a lot more accomplished than 90 percent of NFL coaches and be willing to support him to work through our current situation.
The social media police can't even do anything about it.

I’ve spent my 20 year-career reading people. It isn’t necessarily the words that they say, it’s body language, tone, intent, cadence, confidence, etc… Authenticity is one of the most important qualities in a person. He lacks that.
McDermott always felt like a bit of a fraud to me. He seemed like that friend’s dad that you didn’t really like growing up. He felt like he’d be nice to your face but deep down didn’t want you around his kid. One of the least surprising things about this article was the part about him being annoyed that the WRs bought Chad Hall that truck. That feels “on brand.” This isn’t meant to be a comparison but do you think Mike McDaniel would care if his WRs bought their coach a truck? That guy feels REAL. That’s not meant to say “McDanel = good and McDermott = bad.” I think that we’d all agree that McDaniel feels more authentic than McDermott.
I do not think that McDermott was “admiring” the terrorists. He isn’t evil. He’s just fake. I think that he poorly chose his words. He has spent the last half-dozen years trying to keep things tight within OBD. I believe that he believes that’s what’s best for the team. I also believe that it’s because he doesn’t want all of “the truths” out there. It’s a little of that too.
I don’t want him gone because he said something stupid in 2019. I want him gone because isn’t the guy to take this team across the finish line IMO.
If you only judged bill belichick off his press conferences, you'd probably come to the conclusion that he was a insecure douche bag loser also. The idea that press conferences reflect the success of day to day operations of an NFL team is the problem. I get it, that's all fans have to cling to and dopa-hits from posting on social media and having your opinions validated feels good. But it still doesn't necessarily mean anything. It's media, it's embellished and twisted and slanted and manipulated, in both directions

That's likely true of 95% of the people who are having this teenager reaction to the story, including McDermott, who once again evaded responsibility for everything in the piece except for the dumb 9/11 story. That was the LEAST damning of everything in the story, but has attracted the most commentary. It was one of many weird anecdotes in the story and not really that important vs the other more important points, namely that McD freezes in big games and is a very shaky leader at many points. 13 seconds is the prime example. Is anyone screeching about that anecdote?
So, just to be clear on this point, people are upset because he didn't come out and line by line substantiate every negative thing that a slew of anonymous people said by a reporter that isn't credentialed to cover the team? Why do people think that we're all entitled to hear about every word and thing that happens behind closed doors, or every private thought that the team shares with each other, and if we don't hear about it then it didn't happen?
We didn't even hear about the 9/11 thing for four years, but by all accounts he took accountability then behind closed doors. Why are we so quick to assume that he doesn't do the same with other things and we just don't hear about it? There's absolutely nothing good that can come of engaging with the press on this stuff, especially in the world of social media where this sort of outrage happens daily. All it can do is cause distractions, misinterpretations, and drama.
It's three days before our biggest game of the season, and somehow because McD didn't come out and address a playoff game failure from two years ago, or he doesn't come to every press conference like a sad sack to talk about how much of a spineless loser he is, that means that he's a clueless tyrant behind closed doors and everyone hates him.-

Dont see it. That would mean:
HOU has TEN twice and and NYJ, CLE, IND. I think they get to 10 easy. Losses to IND and CLE help them get to 10.
IND has CIN, PIT, ATL. LVR, HOU. They need three and losses to HOU, CIN, PIT help those teams get to 10.
CLE has JAC (No T Lawrence), CHI, HOU, NYJ, CIN. Again they lose to CIN, HOU, JAC help those teams get to 10.
PIT has IND, CIN, SEA, BAL. They lose to IND, CIN they are helping those teams and win they are closer themselves.
CIN has IND, MIN, PIT, KC, CLE - same as PIT. They beat IND, PIT and CLE and they may get to 10 wins, lose and each of those teams adds another win.
JAC most losable games is CLE without T Lawrence. They will get 2 wins vs TB, CAR, TEN, BAL.
DEN and LAC are least likely to get to 10. But they play each other twice so one of them is at 7. If DEN sweeps they need 2 more vs LVR, DET, NE...its possible. If LAC sweeps they need 3 vs LVR, BUF, KC...unlikely.
Just too many teams at 7 wins already. For 3 to not get to 10 it would take a lot of splitting games and losing to some bad teams while beating good ones. Most likely JAC and HOU get to 10. If CLE wins this week they likely get to 10. Then between IND, PIT, CIN, DEN I think more than one of them gets there too. So BUF needs to get to 11.
Everyone is writing off tiebreakers, but we have five conference losses while most others have 3 or 4. If we go 4-0 in conference and they drop a couple AFC games, it's not unreasonable to think that we can still get a tiebreaker over the teams we haven't lost to directly

Agreed. My only comment is that if we lose this one, then also Cowboys become a must win game too. I still find it very unlikely that we can get it with 10-7.
So win this one and save the opportunity to lose for Cowboys game
I think there's a lot of talk about our conference record being so bad (because it is currently), but it's common in recent history for teams to get in with 5 (or even 6) conference losses. I wouldn't write us off completely at 10-7 as long as we go 4-0 against the AFC from here on out. All the teams around us still play each other, and we haven't lost to Houston/Pitt/Cleveland/Indy so they don't have that tiebreaker.
Not that it'll feel any better if we don't take this game, but, just to dispel the notion that every game is a must win from here on out--I think the NFC games are the ones that we can afford to lose, if any-

It's actually quite an accomplishment that McDermott as HC and DC has built a defense that is somehow surviving the injuries and still making opponents work hard to get something.
First off, thank you Shaw for taking the time to post this. Been lurking around here and the BBMB since College in 2004/05 and have been a long time fan of your takes and writing.
While I can't argue with the above statement, I feel like the team has become way sloppier and less disciplined overall since McD took over the D. Especially on Special Teams, where outside of Bass we've been terrible. There's never been a doubt that McDermott can coach a defense--it always felt like he was able to step in and right the ship when we'd slump with Frazier. But I can't help but wonder if we'd be better off and have more wins overall if he had hired a D-Coordinator and continued to focus on overseeing all three phases. It feels like he empowered those guys to run with their respective units, and it's sort of blown up in his face.I'd be surprised if he was gone regardless of our final record, but if he does end up getting canned, I think that decision is his un-doing.

It sucks that we have already been knocked down as the Chiefs main rival. It’s now the Bengals. When next season starts the Bills will prob be lumped in with the Ravens, Chargers, Jags, etc. Maybe even picked by some to finish 2nd in the AFC East.
Possibly with lower expectations and fewer injuries the team will overperform in the playoffs should they get there.
Why do we as a fanbase care so much about this? Does it somehow help the performance of the team to be the heavily favored juggernaut of the league? If we start 4-0 next year, we'll once again be touted as a super bowl favorite. If anything, you'd rather be doubted--look at the Bengals, who use every scrap of doubt they can to get really ticked off before each game-

The dolphins lost like five straight when they started playing good teams. They're not the near-powerhouse everyone thinks they are and everyone will continue to adjust to what their coach likes to do. It's hard to score points and win consistently with no explosive plays and no running game.
The Pats are so far away on offense. You just can't win 11-12 games scoring 20ppg or less.
The Jets with a good vet QB, that defense, and the easier last place schedule will be frisky
Not sure why everyone thinks we're going to be so much worse without massive upgrades. There was one team that handled us this year and they may win the super bowl. Believe it or not, top five QBs usually win a lot of games.

I loved how Peter Shrager, in picking Cincy, pulled the “no one believes in them” card … meanwhile, it’s been a Cincinnati love-fest all week with random Josh Allen hit pieces on the daily.
The more I think about it, the more I think we come out and win this going away.
Our secondary is much better than it was a month ago and Cincy is now down 3 OL. If our Defense can’t put out a strong performance with all that, then Beane really needs to decide whether all this defensive investment is worth it.
Meanwhile, I’m very much ready for Josh Allen to shut some of these people up. It’s just comical right now, some of these hot takes.
Schrager has just become Bill Simmons' mouthpiece, he can't jeopardize his weekly spot on Bill's podcast where he gets to feel like the he's part of the cool kid gang with Solak and the Ringer crew. It's too bad, because he's well connected and
squanders it with constant made for tv hot takes backed up by nothing

Where is the bragging? A few quotes are put on twitter and some of you are crazy fragile. Here is wht the guys said in full context:
"At the end of the day, what people got to realize and understand, we the big dog of the AFC and that's just what it is," Mixon said after Saturday's practice. "For anything to happen, it goes through us."
"We know what our end goal is and in order to get to that end goal we got to get through Buffalo," Mixon said. "We got to keep one week at a time and everything else take care of itself."
Mixon praised Tremaine Edmunds and Matt Milano but added that "they're not the [Baltimore] Ravens."
"The best thing about is they're going to have to play us honest," Mixon said. "If you want to cheat, whatever you want to do, we're going to make you pay, whichever way you want to do it. That's on you, however y'all want to play it.
"But at the same time, we're going to play our game and we're not going to let nobody dictate what we wanna do. That's just what it's going to be."
"The Bills, what better team would you be able to go up and put your best against?" Mixon said. "It's a great opportunity for us, but at the same time I know our guys, we [are] ready."
https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35353953/big-dog-afcWe're fragile? Lol. We're fans defending our players on our message board after Mixon made some random, weird comparison to the Ravens that was obviously meant to be a slight. You've now traveled to an opposing team's message board and posted the same defense about 20 times tonight. Projection much? It's not life or death, sure, but you seem hell bent on making your point.

They are struggling to beat below average teams like the browns and lions missing tackles, do you think they will beat the top teams in the league playing sloppy? Dream on man.
We're in a mini slump, that's obvious, but we're WINNING.
The chiefs struggled to beat a few teams and lost to the colts.
The eagles have struggled to beat teams and lost to Washington by more than all of our losses combined.
Dallas, Baltimore, Miami, Minnesota.... Show me the team that never struggles, and then take the state of our defense into account.
Are you saying that last two games where we had one total practice and played twice in five days on the road are more representative of this team than our impressive wins?
You don't think Edmunds, Elam, Groot, von, Hyde, Tre would help with those tackling issues? Dream on man

It's unreasonable for your backup safety to be able to tackle? Listen to McD's post-game press conference. He said we have to tackle better and obviously didn't say "oh well we are playing backups so whiffing on a bunch of tackles is fine".
I didn't say it's fine, but I think it's fair to lower expectations slightly and allow some grace when you're playing replacement level talent against a good, productive offense. But hey, good on you for holding such high standards, it obviously helps you enjoy the wins so much

Does he have an explanation for why our D is suddenly missing SO MANY tackles? It's ridiculous really.
Perhaps missing 4-5 pro bowl caliber players has something to do with that? Regardless of that this message board thinks, it's unreasonable to expect us to have an entire starting lineup PLUS a backup at every position that can play at a pro bowl level every game

I'm thrilled with this win. This is exactly the way we need to win when the offense isn't humming. Today's unsexy offense is good enough for 25-30 points almost any game. Then our D chips in a turnover or two. If we had played this way in our losses we may be undefeated.

Every game we have times where Devin starts to cook and then is rested the very next drive. Motor is a better runner, receiver, and blocker and we need him out there. This idea that he needs to rest every other drive is so frustrating, let him get a feel for the game like we did at the end of last season when he was tearing it up

I wonder if Pats fans used to have meltdowns when we'd draft someone like CJ Spiller...I'm guessing not.

I think reducing the Bills perennial secondary success to scheme is an oversimplification. You still need good football players to have a good team. If it was as simple as playing a DB friendly scheme every team would have a good secondary.
But are they good football players, or true All-Pros? They were castoffs before they came here. Good football players can be replaced with younger, cheaper good football players in a good scheme. All Pros can't be replaced. The latter gets paid no matter what.
Tre went out, our secondary soldiered on. If Josh/Diggs/Von went out (KNOCK ON WOOD.), would it go on at nearly the same level?-

You will never see a team choose to kick ever unless it is an extreme weather game and direction is more important.
I'm having trouble following your logic. If you take the ball and score, you can then prevent the other team from scoring to win the game, or if they do score, you have the first try at a sudden death score to win the game.
If you kick the ball, your opponent can go score, and then the pressure is on you to match them. Even if you do match them, you then give them the first shot of a sudden death score to win. No team is ever, ever going to take that risk.
If the Chiefs got it first and scored a touchdown and kicked and XP, then we would have driven down, scored, and went for a 2PC to win.
If the Chiefs got it first and kicked a FG, we'd drive it down with the knowledge of what we needed to do in certain scenarios to either extend the game or win it.
If the Chiefs got it first and turned the ball over, we'd know we can go more conservative only needing to get into FG range to win it.
If you possess the ball first, what do you do when it's 4th and 8 from the 20 yard line? That's a lot harder to answer than it is for the team that's going second. -
Yeah geez I hope we don't have to cut Josh because of our cap issues next year, I'm sure Beane didn't think about that at all.

And I think this board is way underestimating how important a Center is to the QB. Josh doesn't want anyone else is my guess... and boom, Mitch gets a new deal.
Totally agree. He's solid NFL player and leader, and Josh loves him. We can't have all-pros at every position, so if a guy is solid enough to play but not a sure thing I'm sure Josh's desires weigh heavily on the equation-

But he hates McD? McD lost the team? Bease is a locker room cancer, but we replaced him with a guy that did a bad tweet? Fumbles are bad? I don't even know what to think anymore....!

I really want to crap all over the negative ninnies who gave been ruining this message board all season, but instead, shout out to all the real fans that have stuck by this team to this point. I hope you're enjoying the hell out of one of the great wins of the Josh era. I know my victory scotch is tasting amazing right now
