    Another case of our head coach's brain freezing up in a critical moment in a playoff game. It now takes two hands to count such moments.

     

    I have zero optimism about this franchise under McDermott. Really good guy, albeit wound very tight, but just not a championship coach.


    I thought he coached looser tonight tbh.  I can’t get too worked up about McD’s schemes and effort this past month.  They put themselves against the wall with zero margin for error and they still almost pulled it off.

     

    Where do they go?  They need to exit Phase One of McBeane Regime and move to Phase Two.  Phase One was to invest heavily in the d line, rely on aging safeties to make heady plays, and let Allen try to will the entire offense to victory with little help.

     

    Phase Two needs to pivot to heavy investment in playmakers on offense.  The Packers somehow have like seven good young receivers - the Bills have maybe one (Shakir).  If they don’t make that pivot and double down on trying to win with defense, they’re going to go down as the modern day Martyball Meatheads.  
     

    This was a legacy game for McBeane, and their legacy is now on fumes.  Need to change things up big time.  Hopefully Terry sees it - I’m not sure he does.

  2. Bass is a mental patient.  As a sympathetic human, I don’t “blame” him for looking shell shocked like he just came back from the front lines at Verdun.  But as a longtime fan of this team - Bass can go get f’d.

  3. Yeah as far as Brady goes, the grade is still incomplete.  Did not have a counterpunch in the second half when Spags started run blitzing on first down - Brady sent his rbs into the teeth of those blitzes like he was leading a charge in Galipoli.  But it’s hard to evaluate him fully when he was asked to design plays for the likes of Sherfield and Harty.  Just all around organizational negligence on offense starting in the offseason.

    There were a million reasons why we lost this game.  And Josh willed this team to get as close to victory as we did.  Diggs drop, Sherfield drop, bad 1st down playcalling, defensive struggles, missed kick, etc.

     

    But nothing will sit with me more from this game than the throw to Shakir in the end zone with a wide open Diggs streaking underneath.  Even if we hit that pass and take the lead, you give the chiefs 1:40 and two TOs against a defense that hasn’t really stopped them.  The Diggs pass runs the clock, shortens the kick if needed, but most importantly moves the chains.

     

    Totally heartbroken…


    Allen got greedy at the exact wrong time but the play was there to be made - Jones just got the best of his man and affected the throw.

     

    Special teams under McD have been a complete clown show.  Keeping Martin this week was ludicrous and I suspect it was done in large part to try not to disrupt Bass’s fragile psyche by switching out his holder.  Bass needs to go take Ayahuasca with Rodgers this offseason, his brain is scrambled up and he’s useless.  Which I just have no sympathy for given what I’ve been through as a fan of this team.

     

    Speaking of which - Diggs had zero interest in this game.  Bookended his garbage performance by fumbling on the very first play and then casually dropping a perfectly-thrown bomb on the penultimate drive.  Not sure what happened to him mentally but he seemed to have completely checked out and I suspect we will soon be subjected to his passive-aggressive tweets and such as he starts angling for his next adventure.

     

    Finally - this game was proof positive that investing more heavily on defense is a fool’s errand.  Beane gave his star QB zero playmakers this offseason.  Wasting the career of JA17 is a war crime and Beane should be on a short leash heading into 2024.

     

    Brutal way to end the season but they gave themselves no margin for error, all year and again today.  They had to be perfect for too many games in a row and today they came up short.

    I would take Allen over Lamar anyday of the week, he is the better QB for sure.  Allen at his best this season is better than Lamar at his best this season.....BUT...the thing that killed Allen's chances at winning MVP this year was having more bad games/moments as well.  Particularly the Jets game which was really a loss squarely on Josh's shoulders.  I mean Dorsey might have played a role in this problem too but the voters won't look at it like that.  I still think Allen wins an MVP or two before his career is over but this season just wasn't meant to be with some of the turnovers and poor performances mixed in with the brilliance.  


    Ironically, that makes Allen more deserving of the honor.  As he goes his team goes, usually.

    So yeah they played for 3 with all 3 TOs... Not a fan of that clock management at all, not with this squad of superstars.


    What a bad message he sent to his offense there.  Just a total lack of confidence.  I thought his clock management skills had rebounded from that epic Super Bowl meltdown but perhaps not.  Shanny might be a Tuesday coach.
