Learned point blank Sean McDermott is not on the same intellectual level as Belicheat, Anthony Lynn, Andy Reid, Frank Reich, and or Mike Vrabel. The only real reason he got hired is because Lynn disagrees with affirmative action; where Kim agreed with it, and didn’t want a Coach being called an Uncle Tom. So, she pretty much bypasses all EOE mandates and hired McDermott because he’s a generation apart from Terry as a frat brother. This kind of idiocy should pull down an instant ban. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They went with the classic "make Josh Allen beat you with his passing" theory, stacked the box, stuffed the run, and shut down the Bills. Still, we would have had a fighting chance if a couple receivers could have made a couple plays on very catchable balls, or even if the Shady of 2014-15 had reemerged and broken a few tackles. But right now, outside of Allen (and Foster on fly routes only so far) we don't have any playmakers. The funny thing is that with a better supporting cast at WR & TE Allen would have beat them through the air. Watching the highlights I'm more convinced then I was when watching the game live (where I was throwing stuff at the TV) that this is the case. With almost any other WR/RB/TE group out there today Allen would have had a classic gunslinger type of game and the Bills probably pull off the upset. By this I mean that Allen did throw some very bad balls and 2 dumb INT's. But at the same time he threw some great balls that should have resulted in TD's. This could have been an amazing game if our skilled players had MADE SOME PLAYS! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beane and McDermott may not be the ones to make it happen. Do you think Kraft is winning games or did his team get extremely lucky with a 6th round flyer draft pick of a QB ?

You make it sound so terrible that you might just be better off going to a team that seemingly can do no wrong. Was it a good game? No. Was it anywhere near as dire as this post suggests?

par73 Posted December 23, 2018 Share Posted December 23, 2018 The most disturbing thing is the putrid performance of the defense. Granted, they are missing a couple important pieces, but to face a New England team where the game was there for the taking (Brady looks awful), the rush defense was pathetic-- and never adjusted to what the opponent was doing. On offense, the only sure starter next year is Allen (have to see if he can up his game, or not--not confident, though). They could clean out the whole OL and receiver corps (except Foster, I suppose), because, really, there's nothing there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TigerJ Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 Obviously, the Bills were terrible in run defense today, and particularly so when the Patriots used the WRs to run wide on the reverse. That's on the coaching to make adjustments. As far as Buffalo's running game is concerned, it is a continuation of what we've seen the whole season. Buffalo's offensive line stinks. Juan Castillo probably needs to bear some of the blame for that. The rest may be a personnel issue (the players aren't good enough. McDermott will be back next season. With plenty of cap room and ample draft picks, the Bills need to solve the personnel issues. We'll see if McDermott does something about Castillo. If the Bills are not significantly improved next season, then the Pegulas have some hard decisions to make. I sincerely hope it does not come to that.

Pretty sure there are several UDFA QBs that were HOF QBs, obviously it's not common but there are droves of good QBs and serviceable ones underneath that upper echelon and the success rate is higher than .10%.

Not positive about Moon. Either way, if the Bills drafted the next Matt Cassel or Ryan Fitzpatrick in the 6th round that's fantastic. Anything more than that and you are going to really set your team up in a big big way. Bills should draft one every year until we strike gold.

Xwnyer Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 The,major issue with the defense is that the LBs are too close to LOS they get caught int the gaps versus back enough to fill gaps.

It's true that Allen & the Bills did not seize the torch from Brady & the Patriots today. But that day is coming once we clear the deadwood out.

Buffalo Ballin Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 (edited) Josh Allen stunk it up. Still not accurate. 20/41 completions. Awful. Our run defense was bad, too.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 24, 2018 Share Posted December 24, 2018 I never wanted Mahomes. I won’t pretend I wanted the Bills to stay there and take him. I did however really want Watson. Watching these two guys and then watching whatever we are trying to do on offense....I mean, we aren’t even playing the same game. It’s one of those things where you can’t really go back and redo every draft pick. But when you are in the top 10, you can’t just always pick the wrong guy. It matters.
