What McD has done in such a short time boarders on miraculous. Accept that we’re not ready for prime time yet and that’s okay. It’s where we are right now. As long as Beane and McDermott keep building this team up, I am satisfied. Eventually we’ll be championship material. Because everybody jumped the gun and wanted us to be Super Bowl ready doesn’t mean we are. Amazing. A few weeks ago everyone here is talking about McD being COY consideration and bad mouthing Vrabel. Now its pitchforks and torches for McD and songs of praise and bouquets of flowers for Vrabel. The past few years have been an improvement and this team despite the bumps still has a promising future. Yes there is still work to be done, they are not finished yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dallas game was it. Sean is amazing as a motivational coach and teaching his so called PROCESS. But, as a game day technician he's absolutely awful. I'm not asking for a mad scientist like Belichick who can scheme any team thru it's weaknesses. But for God's sake Sean, have a plan. That Houston game gave us a great insight into his weakness. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hampton Josh fan Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Sean is not coaching well. You cannot allow rushing like that and allowing QBs to run for 1st downs on end of game drives. You want to chalk that up to personnel, fine. Beane misjudged the defensive talent and now we are suffering the consequences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aussie Joe Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just now, BillsEnthusiast said: Not really but we were 4-0 with outstanding wins over LA and LV so I think the majority of people think everything is hunky dory when they win, and blow up the place when they lose.... I try to be measured win or lose, but the D has been awful this whole year.. After last week's game I was confident that McDermott would turn it around, where as now I am drifting into hoping he turns it around otherwise I think we are heading to 8-8 territory even after the 4-0 start...

Honestly the rams and raiders wins were probably their best wins, just not prime time games. Pop the Dolphins in there now as they would be #1 in the east if we didn't win.

This is year 4. We’re losing games where we don’t show up (last week) and we’re losing games where we are beating ourselves (this week). It’s not good. We should be an upper echelon team, so far we’ve wilted. This is spot-on. Good teams in year 4 don't get B-slapped all over home turf by another team's second string patch work Oline. No discipline, no heart, no clue. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason this team made the playoffs in 2017 & 2019 was because of the schedule but for fans that paid attention this defense was terrible then too especially against the NFL's elite teams, they simply padded their numbers around a bunch of bottom feeders and mediorce teams for the most part. You don't get to top 5 by being secretly terrible. Edited October 20, 2020 by VW82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable. What’s unbelievable is losing a playoff game to Bill O’Brien up 16-0 with 21 minutes left in the game. That was the last big primetime game McD was in. Entering this season McD was 3-17 against playoff teams or in the post-season.

Peter Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 McCoach has been very, very fortunate with both the schedule and relatively few injuries in prior years. This year is a real test for him. We shall see how this year goes. Personally, I have had my reservations about him from the beginning. The good news for him is that he has a GM who supports him and is not trying to undermine him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stuvian Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 1 hour ago, McBean said: You can't name me one signature win in 4 years. He hasn't beaten the Pats, sucked on primetime, and only beat the Steelers because the QB was named "Duck." The Tennessee Titans have adopted their coaches attitude: Tough, resilient, aggressive, and don't back down from ANYBODY. Our Bills have adopted their HC attitude: Timid, soft, and conservative with no aggression. Sean McDermott was supposed to be a defensive guru yet, his defense is the worst I've seen in years. A couple of other things: 1. The fake snap count to draw opposing team Offside DOESN'T WORK. It's soft. It's conservative. It's stupid. We let them rest for 5 minutes to just completely blow up the next play then proceeded to punt. That cost us huge. 2. I want somebody to be responsible for using this much capital into the defensive side of the ball through draft picks and free agents yet, we still SUCK. It's not acceptable and somebody needs to take ownership. Make no mistake, this team is soft and can't compete with the big boys. We choked twice on primetime and will be lucky to win the East. The Patriots will shred this team. We as fans deserve to be pissed because we have suffered to damn long to support this crap.
