On another note, Lincoln Riley is leaving Oklahoma for USC.  He was my choice to replace McDermott.  I think there is almost zero chance McDermott would be fired but if the Bills miss the playoffs, I hope he leaves for a college job.  

 

Utter nonsense.

Why would McDermott leave an NFL HC job with a good young QB to take a college gig?

There is 0% chance of this happening. McDermott has never worked in college. Why is he leaving an NFL job with a superstar QB to go to college? It is utter nonsense. 

 

And wanting him to leave is even crazier.

Of course I have.  Bills have the better QB. Bills should win especially at home.  

Sorry but anytime this year Josh has had to do it all by himself he has come up small.

 

Bill will feast on us all he has to do is force Allen to go into hero turnover mode and that's it while he shields his QB from having to do anything with a running game.

Because he can control everything and some college jobs are better than NFL jobs.  He can have three good young QB's on his team at any time if he recruited well.  There are many college jobs that are better than almost any NFL job.  USC was one of them.  LSU is another open job.  

 

Like I said almost zero chance it happens.  But if the Bills miss out on the playoffs in a year they were supposed to contend for the SB and Allen is healthy, then his job should be in question.  

 

I'm the optimist.  I see 5-1 down the stretch with the Bills playing their best football going into the playoffs.

Agree. The way I see our season there are three all but certs on the schedule:

 

Jets

Falcons

Panthers

 

Then three toughies:

 

Patriots

Buccs

Patriots

 

10-7 probably gets us in as a wildcard. 11-6 (split with NE) definitely means a wildcard (they'd have the tiebreak on us via conference record so win the division). 

 

To get in as a division winner I suspect we either have to sweep New England OR split with them and beat Tampa.

How can you watch the Bills lose to the Jags and say any game is certain. This team is capable of losing to anyone.

You asked my if I watch the Patriots. Did you watch Bills-Saints?  Who won that game?  Allen did.  Allen is the key to everything just as Brady, Wilson, and Rodgers are.

LSU and SEC jobs are actually terrible college coaching jobs. They have to go against Saban and the rest and often don't get any kind of time.

 

Look at Ogeron. He won the national championship and few years later is fired.

If the Chargers win (probable) and Ravens lose (probably 50/50), then all playoff teams in the AFC will have 4 losses and the #1 seed will be fair game. Titans need to lose one more game than us the rest of the way because they have the head-to-head.

Ya we were playing poorly in the first half and their defense finally gave up in the second half. 

 

That is a Saints team down 13 starters. If they actually fielded an NFL offense that game is different.

You do realize Bucs lost to both Saints and WFT, two teams we beat.

 

With Tre I would give us a decent chance against Tampa. Without him.... I just don't see a way to stop their wideouts. New Orelans is a tough matchup for Tampa and particularly because they have good corners. You need corners to beat the Buccs.

But apparently you don’t need a QB.

It is a matchup league. The Bills can absolutely score on the Buccs secondary which is a weakness. But to do that we would have to pass protect against their excellent dline (we don't do that well). And to stop them you need good corners. We just our difference maker.

Not to an NFL guy. McDermott is an NFL guy. He preaches professionalism. He doesn't want to go work with kids. There is zero point zero percent chance he would be interested.

No it shouldn't. It is the offensive line that has helped sink this season (if indeed it is sunk). If I am asking anyone a question about that I am asking the general manager. But they both have enough credit in the bank that a winning season that misses the playoffs should not put anything in question except "how can we put better pieces around Josh?"

Not necessarily.  The way this season is going there could possibly be 3 or 4 Division winners all with the same record.

If none of those teams swept or lost to all the others it goes down to conference records and then the other tie-breakers.

Just kicking ourselves - we should be at least 8-3 (Jags) if not 9-2 (Steelers). Take the narrow Titans defeat into equation it'd be 10-1.

I love it. The suspense, the long road traveled to get here.  NE actually has a chance to take the #1 seed for this week. And the Bills have the opportunity to crush their hopes twice before the playoffs. Good stuff. And there are a bunch of AFC teams within striking distance. It's game on now.
