Me. I told him to keep McDermott another year. Sorry guys.

We still talking about this?

3rd downs are big moments.

Because a few were big moments.

Some people are trying way to hard to blame someone on this play.

Dodson is what he is.

Stef would’ve ran his own route. He would’ve saw what Josh saw. Gabe ran the route as he’s coached.

They are all likely options. What people are failing to understand is the DB alignment. Slay is lined up inside on Diggs and stays inside to take Davis. Davis read that and broke outside. We all know either way Davis goes he wins because Slay is flat footed but Slay staying inside and picking up Davis is what caused the confusion.

Here you go. Gabe didn’t mess up.

That was our version of what the Eagles do. Ours sucked.

Most teams only dress 3-4 DTs. So you’d have to bring some OL on the field to match mass.

It’s probably worked before. I would rather just let him kick it. Im not a fan of icing the kicker.

McDermott is definitely part of the problem in critical situations. So are the players on defense. It’s definitely a group effort to all the losses at the end.

I’m telling you though they get beat in critical moments playing tight also. See Vikings game also. I mean all the time. Broncos game they were aggressive and lost as well. Yes they play off as well and lose in crunch time. It doesn’t matter. They just lose in these moments.

More than likely a combination of both McDermott and defensive players. They always come up small in big moments. The defensive players always get beat.

I’ve seen them do everything and get beat in these moments. Everyone always talks about how off the DBs were in the 13 seconds game. But before that they played press man with safety help and got beat for a long TD by Hill. It doesn’t matter because we lack clutch playmakers on defense. That’s why they gave Von $100 million but our luck he tears his ACL.

I don’t know. We ran a similar play for a TD vs Miami in the playoffs last year. Similar alignment from the Bills. Miami was a heavy cover 0 team but in that play they didn’t run cover 0. Gabe broke outside and Josh hit him for a TD. I don’t know if Gabe is supposed to adjust for cover 0. I mean this wasn’t even disguised. Everyone knew it was cover 0 pre snap. So you’d think Allen and Davis would have a signal pre snap so their on the same page. I feel like Davis would’ve accepted full responsibility if he was supposed to do something else. I think he ran it exactly how it’s coached. Allen ran it thinking Davis saw what he saw. A flat footed DB that he could run right by for a TD.

That’s just ridiculous.

The Bills run this all the time. Gabe/WR/TE always breaks outside vs inside leverage.

Better roster? I mean in every big loss we can point to our biggest players coming up short.

Slay was guessing Davis wouldn’t go deep and he guessed wrong. But his alignment told Davis break outside. Slay is not even lined up on Gabe at the snap. He’s inside on Diggs and 10 yards off. I can’t stand Gabe Davis but it was a miscommunication!!!!!!!! Its a problem that needs to be fixed in practice because it’s an ongoing problem.

McDermott and Beane built this team. McDermott is a powerful head coach.

With an owner like that you never know who’s calling the shots.
