I don't want to get into it, and I know that some of you are overjoyed, but firing McDermott was a mistake and will not make the team better.
Of course we'll have to wait to see who is right.
This kind of non-sourced "quotation" is the kind of thing that turns the internet and social media into a sump.
Not to defend Coleman, but piling on with innuendo is a bad look IMHO.
Punting in fourth and inches with 37 seconds left against KC. What a compeletly wussy move.
We may quesiton McDermott, but he would never give the ball back to KC i that situation. You have to score to beat KC.
So you're excoriating McDermott for choosing to kick a field goal which would have ended the game and had less than a one percent difference in the predicted outcome than a perfectly executed punt would have done.
Got it.
I think it's classic how twenty-four hours ago the obvious truth about the Bills (nationally, and among some of us Bills loyalists) was that they were a second-rate team with no shot at the Super Bowl.
And now they are back as one of the favorites.
I don't think the way the media (and some fans) react to games is rational. After a game like this you get three days of people shouting unequivocal opinions that they will reverse by next Monday in order to shout about something else.
It's funny, when it's not exhausting.
Mahommes was clearly in bounds, throwing a pass, not trying to get out of bounds, and Epanesa was already only a yard from him while the ball was still in Mahommes' hand, so I can't see why refs should even consider throwing a flag on that play.
Yes, the Bills could use a receiver who can go deep. But those who want them to switch to a heavy pass plan are living a fantasy. If the Bills come out in 5-wide and try to sling the ball all over the field, the Chiefs will run them out of the stadium.
The Chiefs defense is weakest against runs between the tackles and against play action. The Bills need to put Josh under center and run the ball—not exclusively, but primarily—and let the pass game work off of that.
This is beside the point, and pedantic, but it always bothers me when people use the term "bicep." "Biceps" is always plural. "Biceps brachii" is the medical term for the muscle in the upper arm.
You could look it up.
It's a completely natural and understandable mistake, but once you know it you know it.
