Im going by the old saying "When someone shows you who they are, believe them" and this team has shown they cant win on the road. Even against horrible teams. So with that... @Pittsburgh- Loss vs Cincinnati- Win @ NE- Loss @ Cle- Loss (because that's who this season is going) vs Phil- Loss (we will get bullied up and down the field) vs NYJ- Win The only one I'm 50/50 on is Cleveland. So we're either 2-4 or at best 3-3 the rest of the way.

Yeah, Kromer is not an OC and he might be the first to tell you that. He got a taste of it before and now seems happy in his OL role.

I voted "Yes - If it means McDermott goes" but I'm fine with McD and Beane getting axed at this point too.

The confused/angry look on McD's face when they cut to him after that failure of a play said it all. He either has no clue what is happening, or doesnt understand it. He is NOT a Championship Caliber head coach.

Great write up, @Virgil. Unfortunately, at this point, there isnt much left to say. It's all the same *****. Losses to the Falcons, Dolphins, and Texans in this season where the #1 seed was just waiting for us to take it is completely unacceptable. 20 frickin points in the first half to Davis frickin Mills. A complete travesty by McD and crew. Unfortunately, I'm going full into college football until these jokes are canned. All of us Bills fans deserve better than this.

The buck stops at the HC. Any other HC with a lick of football acumen would be fixing this. McD isnt able. He looked just as lost and confused last night as the players.

Happy Birthday, NG!!

We're already 3 deep there. Need him to step up to DE at this point.

Tackling has definitely been a huge issue. That's no secret. Which is CRAZY to me since it is the basic foundation these guys would have learned since they were 10 years old. And I refuse to believe all these players made it from highly rated High School recruits through D1 College Programs and drafted to the NFL without knowing how to tackle previously. Something in the coaching or scheme has these guys twisted up. Whether they are being coached to be too aggressive and not break down, or the scheme is confusing and they are just out of place and therefore taking bad angles, or what... When an entire defense of players who made it to the pro ranks cant seem to tackle, I look up the ladder. But it's all of them. And we know that McD runs some of the lightest contact practices/camps. So I can't absolve the coaching of anything. If it was 1 or even 2 guys blowing all the tackles then maybe. But when it's seemingly everyone, everywhere...

They've been in so long (few years) they finally made it to the 60 year old millionaires and therefore are on their way out.

Good to see that no matter what happened between him and the Raiders he still goes to the barber with Mark Davis.

Yep, once the RB gets passed the line there is no one left to stop him. Lot of season left for them to get back there But for me, it seems more a "3rd and long" issue. Like 3rd and 3, we got this. But 3rd and 18... just start moving the chains.

That last Josh TD... Josh Allen and Spencer Brown is a lot of man-beef coming at ya. And laughing maniacally from the 3 yard line!

lol you said it before i could.

Unfortunately, yes.

I hear you. As a team leader I agree 99.99% of the time, so I get it. You "praise in public, punish in private" as the old leadership saying goes. And that is exactly what McD and some players have been doing for over a year. But it's possible for a team member to slack their way out of that. This Bills team in general are not the types to pop off out of turn. The fact Dion said anything should show exactly where Keon stands, not be an indictment on Dion's leadership. Go Bills!

But they havent sufficed. They've all been coaching him up in private for over a year, and he's still showing up late. You continue to ignore the support and continue to disrespect the entire team, then you lose the grace of keeping things private. Dion has earned the right to make mistakes. No one wants mistakes, but he shows up and works hard and plays hard. Beyond that, mistakes happen, and can be begrudgingly absorbed and accepted when the player is actually trying and working. Any mistakes in Dion's performance can be overlooked considering he did the work to make himself available to ACTUALLY PERFORM, and not get benched for bad decisions my 7 year old doesnt even make.

This is yards AFTER CONTACT. So even if we are making the fits, we arent getting it done. Babich needs to go, and McD needs to follow him. This is horrendous and costing us Championship opportunities as we waste Josh's career.

If this was a first offense, maybe. And Dion has stayed positive and supportive through 2 other incidents that we know of. Not to mention the loafing in games that is on tape for all to see. No telling what else this knuckle-head has missed or half-assed behind the scenes that we are unaware of. This has obviously been building with the staff and team for a while. At some point, the love and support method isnt working so time to turn to tough, honest love. Dion will be here and be Captain long after Coleman is cut and becomes a mere footnote.

Yeah guys, we're all set because we won on the road against... *checks notes"... the Jets and Panthers. Next stop, PLAYOFFS!

No trading to the Chiefs or Pats. Ship him to the NFC for Dairy Queen punch card.

Something Ive been thinking about, not exactly this but in the same vein... Coleman looked decent in the beginning of this year... And then we brought Po back in. Suddenly, the guy who ended his season with a "cheap" shot last year was in the locker room. And not only in the locker room, but revered and buddy-buddy with all the team leaders. Everyone would've been happy to have him back and joking with him, etc etc. I wonder if Keon had his feelings hurt on that, and it lead to further disconnecting/moping. Or he's just a goofball who cant show up on time. 🤷‍♂️

Pretty sure he just proposed a 3-way. Which is probably pretty normal for those Northern Atl burbs where you live.

Agreed in philosophy. The only problem is, with the way our run D performs, the fastest way for opponents to score is to run it outside and take it 45 yards to the house on a single play!

He better be in the starting lineup next week. One fumble on his first return to action is nothing, especially for an experienced vet. He'll get over it. McD should too.
