Zack Rosenblatt on X: "Garrett Wilson is tired of this feeling. “We have a losing problem, like a gene or some *****.” Last year, Wilson expressed privately that if things didn’t get better, he might not want to stick with the #Jets long-term. Well, things have gotten worse: https://t.co/OdD11px2Jk https://t.co/FiHFuzaJ5R" / X

It would also be a full rebuild on the defensive side of the ball if Ben Johnson takes over as he will want to bring in his own DC. Same thing on the offensive side of the ball as Johnson would want to run the system that he has built. I am not against hiring Johnson as he appears to be a hot commodity to becoming a head coach. Assuming the Bills did move on from McDermott there would changes to both sides of the ball no matter who the new coach is.

Fair point but does keeping McDermott make sense when his defense constantly disappoints in the playoffs against good teams. Sean has been here what 7, 8 years so it's not like he hasn't been given a fair chance. I give him all the credit in the world for changing the culture of the organization from a loser to a winner. He has been one of the best regular season coaches for a long time now. But shouldn't he be held accountable for the playoff failures which have been going on for years now.

It's more than Chris Jones. The Chiefs defense as a group is better than the Bills. Also, Spags is a really good DC.

One thing about Bill is he knows defense. He would also manage the game better than Sean does. Bill would build a strong defense and combine that with an Allen led offense I would like the Bills chances to win a Super Bowl. But it doesn't matter since I don't see McDermott getting fired anytime soon.

He is not that far behind Shula for the all-time wins record as HC. Plus, he probably wants to prove he can win a Super Bowl without Brady. I think he would be very motivated to coach the Bills, and I think he would love the chance to coach #17.

The Chiefs defense steps up in big moments. The Bills don't. One of the main reasons Mahomes has 3 rings and Allen has none.

Another coach with experience is Pete Carroll. Won a Super Bowl with the Seahawks and a National Championship with USC. Plus, he is not that far removed from coaching. With that said I expect McDermott isn't getting fired anytime soon.

Don't worry the Bills will never reach the Super Bowl with McDermott has the HC.

Speaking of the onside kick. If the Bills could have recovered that I have no doubt we would be talking about a 45-44 win today.

We did yesterday. I just think both the Bills and Lions will score a lot. My guess is the score will be similar to the Rams game.

Unfortunately, you are correct. The defense will let them down again in the playoffs.

Giants' fans had a plane fly over MetLife yesterday just like in the 70's when the team was also crap. It said. " MR MARA ENOUGH - PLZ FIX THIS DUMPSTER FIRE".

The Lions have a lot of injuries on defense. I don't think the Bills will win but I do expect it to be a high scoring game that is close.

Terry loves having McDermott has his HC. Same with Beane as his GM. Neither one is going anywhere anytime soon. IMHO.

I think next week will be like yesterday. The Lions will put 40 or more on the Bills. Can Allen and the offense keep up.

The Lions will be wearing black jersey's this week. The Bills will either be white over blue or all-white.

I mentioned this earlier, but I think the Bills finish 3-1 or 2-2. I see the Lions game as a loss. Depending on if they need the season finale against the Pats for seeding that may be a win or loss. Depends on if they rest starters and treat it as a preseason game or not. I do think they will win at home vs the Pats and Jets. I see 12-5 or 13-4. That probably gets them the #2 seed. We will see how it plays out.

On the flip side I wonder what the prices are for that "big important" Jets- Jags game this week

After 13 games. Passing - 3,033 yards with 23 TD's and 5 INT's Rushing - 80 carries 416 yards with 9 TD's

If its McDermott or Beane or both it needs to change. This smaller, finesse type of defense gets killed against the better teams/QB's. History over the years in the playoffs proves it.

Ravens and Steelers are also a concern. Jackson and Henry alone would be a nightmare for our defense. The Steelers are a very physical team on both sides of the ball which could dominate the LOS vs the Bills. I am not saying the Bills can't beat them, but they would be very tough games.

Defense is a big reason why Mahomes has 3 Super Bowl titles and Allen has none. When the media/fans talk about the Chiefs they start with Reid, Mahomes, and Kelce. Truth is Spags and his Chris Jones led defense always step up in big moments of the biggest games. That is one of the biggest reasons they win championships. Until the Bills defense can do that then Allen will never play in a Super Bowl much less win one.

I don't think it's the loss itself that fans are upset over. Nobody expects the Bills to win every single game as that is just not possible. What has fans concerned is the performance by the defense yesterday as it was a reminder of the playoff failures over the years. How can this team get to a Super Bowl much less win one if the defense constantly gets destroyed by good offenses/QB's with better HC's then McDermott. Over the years history has shown this to be a fact.

I wish Beane and McDermott would change their philosophy when it comes to defense. We need a bigger, more physical defense that is built to stop the run and get after the QB. Think Steelers defense. This smaller, finesse type of defense we have doesn't work against the better teams.
