Whatever you do, don't block #11 on 4th down.

How may first downs by penalty now, 15, 20?

That point by Witherspoon is a penalty if it's Josh Allen, right.

Cover 0 with no safety help inside, is not subtle. It's exactly how Denver got their PI to beat the Bills, the chuck'n'duck to an area since everyone is singled up and no safety help. As soon as there is no safety inside WR needs to be looking for the ball.

not arguing, just saying my first instinct is that McDummy is a McDummy doing McDummy things

Depends which way the wind is blowing. Somehow the Bills coaches made sure the Eagles had their preferred wind for the 2nd & 4th quarter and overtime. Not as egregious as the 3-pass loss vs NE where they did the same, but The Process doesn’t take learning from that into account, I guess.

McDummy is fair AND accurate.

If it was his decision, now I have to wonder if it was correct.

I don’t wonder.

It was less clearly a fumble than the tackle of Sherfield was PI, the block-in-the-back on the punt return, the PHI RG not being set on the first TD, the horsecollar on Allen being a PF, etc etc etc.

If Allen is being tarred with "not being clutch" how many more times does he need to walk off the field where his last play gives his team the lead, only to have the team lose? The fact he doesn't play defense makes him non-clutch? GTFOH

It could have been: 1) Down by contact which helps the Eagles. But the replay where the ball was away before Josh being down by contact put the kibosh on that. Which left: 2) Fumble by Josh, recovered by Davis who was the receiver in the area. Plausible, but helps the Bills. 3) Incomplete by Josh, picked up by Davis who was the receiver in the area. Probably correct, but also helps the Bills. 4) Intentional grounding, despite being picked up by Davis who was a receiver in the area, and the throw being affected by being horsecollared to the ground. Laughable and totally wrong, but helps the Eagles. So I wasn't remotely surprised by #4, because you can't be a league that's above suspicion with betting app ads all over your stadiums and broadcasts.

There's that and the inexplicable need for a coach that is perhaps the worst game manager in the NFL bringing every possible game down to the final drive where his ineptitude is disproportionately magnified.

We don't even have to be down a LB if someone would realize Son Of Dod is a liability that opposing coaches that don't suck (i.e. Philly) will exploit when he's in.

q: How to win? a: Get away from losers

We were having a pretty fun MST3K of his convo with AJ Brown after the game "Can you believe the idiot coaches i got? I was telling you, now you believe me? Yeah, that's what all that offseason heat was about. You think you guys would be up for trading for me after the season? I'd love to have a chance at winning a Super Bowl without a bunch of ****ing idiot coaches that should be hitting a brunch in Branson MO keep ****ing me over"

Is that you deflecting blame again Sean?

I personally enjoyed the face mask on the Bills punt return called during the commercial break, that was funny. But just on it's own, it would not be as indicative of how "flags for thee but none for me" slanted it was without the flagrant block in the back by the Eagles springing their return guy.

Everyone in the comments thinks that's Shaq Lawson. I guess Philly fans are not just the worst in sports, but also the dumbest.

His team is 7-4. As Bill Parcells says, you are what your record says you are. Their roster is patchwork, their offense is an eminently resistable force, their defense gets pushed around. They finally outgained a hapless opponent in Week 12 for the FIRST time this year, but the refs love them and their record says they are 3 games over .500. McDermott has a top-of-the-league caliber roster with depth that can replace even the devastating injuries the defensive side of the ball sustained (mostly in an ill-advised trip to the land of boiled beef and rotting teeth to face a waiting foe like Falkirk). Sadly he is the sort of coach who can take a roster devoid of talent and challenge for a wildcard spot just as easily as taking an elite roster and challenging for a wildcard spot. He is entropy personified, his staff the claws of the crab bucket pulling the superior achievers from the crest back to the mediocre mass... everybody got to elevate to the norm.

Clappy carried a lot of water for the franchise. I'm not flipping out unreasonably for a botch or two. This is maybe a dozen games now where basically, all the gameday coach has to do is: not ***** everything up. But he keeps doing it, over and over, losing to bums, getting embarrassed by his opposing number. i could see a scenario where the Bills playing like they did today go 4-0 in the next month winning impressively every week, and get themselves to a win-and-in in Miami, beat their asses up and down the field, and somehow this dipstick will find a way to lose in the last minute to end the season. I sound like a broken record saying this for the past couple of years, but I think it's becoming obvious to EVERYONE now that McDermott is a coach that will do exactly what is required to lose the game: no more, and no less. I have no more slack to give him. This is who he is. If you need the Bills to win "one before you die" sooner than later, you need him gone sooner than later.

50. But 75 on the old and grouchy scale.
