RocCityRoller Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Oof, I get the long shot, but McDermott has barely been mentioned in the past after his draft (the one before Beane) and breaking the playoff drought. I suppose if the Bills go on a big roll early he could. I think Coach of the Year voting/ input is finalized before the Super Bowl. Is that right? It would make McDermott winning it even harder if true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just do a google search. The announced was 2/10/21. I honestly don’t remember when and how, but unless a news announcement is wrong and you’re right, it was 2/10/21. Does it really matter? The point is that the whole argument “needs to make the SB, deep in the playoffs is irrelevant as the votes are tabulated after week 18. It’s what happens in the regular season that the voters use as info for their selection. My thought of one area McD can do is commandingly winning against playoff opponents or speculated during the season like GB or CN or KC, and securing the #1 seed. Those are two areas he can control and could maybe influence voters. Most of the time the voters like the guy from nowhere like Stephanski over McD in 2020 where McD was Robbed (IMO) as McD was 13-3, beat some impressive opponent like the Rams and at the time of defeat the Hawks before they imploded. The problem is McD did it right. He and Beane as a tandem slowly and methodically built this team up from the ashes the right way purging crap contracts, taking lumps, really changing culture, developing players, making shrewd decisions in trades and FA acquisitions with few splashes, but solid pick ups. Thats how you build a team for long term success and until this year remaining fiscally disciplined to not pay the piper down the road. Even now though, they placed their metaphoric chips all in on 21 Red, and went for it on Miller and other decisions. What I love about it is they are structuring things to coincide with the explosion of salary cap over the next 7 years. It’s visionary and not short sighted like other teams. So voters get enamored with the Stephanski type guy even though he walked into a highly talented roster. McD had heavy lifting with Beane. He’s been COY in my book as I don’t analyze a body of work in 13 seconds. I look at the big picture. Too many not pickers. With that said, I doubt even if we beat as an example GB by 10 and others and have the #1 seed do I think he’ll get it. They’ll give it to a guy like McDaniel on Miami if they win 11 games, but Tua looks better (even though we’ll smoke them by 17 if they make it past the wildcard), because we are THE BILLS! GO BILLS!!

Alphadawg7 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 On the betting site I use it’s +2600 so I just threw down $25 on it. If Bills play well against top level opponents with some statement wins and lock up the #1 seed in the much tougher AFC he will win it.

Dr Divit Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Zero. Despite McDermott's years of being a defensive coach, he choked in the KC game. People forget, the 13 sec meltdown came after a timeout. Even Sean Payton said he choked. Poor Leslie F, he has to live with this stink as well. We have the best roster in the league, McDermott is a great players coach. But his game management is scary, especially in big games Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skibum Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 (edited) The only way he can win is if 1. (God forbid) the team is beset by major injuries and they still go deep or win it all. 2. It's total domination from wire to wire. 3. No other coach takes a team with low expectations to legit contender status. But as of now, the Bills are too loaded a team for their coach to even qualify for COY in most seasons.

Big Turk Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Honestly I don't see him winning it. Probably should have won it in 2020 when the Bills went 13-3. Now if they finish with a great record it will basically be expected because the roster is routinely thought of as the best in the NFL by lots of pundits. And if the struggle or finish 11-6 like last year it will be viewed as a disappointment. I think he would probably have to be head and shoulders above other teams record wise to get it, maybe like 15-2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless this team is truly dominant this year and wins 15 or 16 games, division is going to be brutal and I would expect both the Pats and Dolphins to be within striking distance of the division similar to how things played out the last few years.

What I'm saying is there are no guarantees that we would have won the division last year if not for the Patriots peaking in late Nov/early Dec and falling off. Obviously we hit our stride around that same time but there were a full two games ahead in the standings after the TB OT loss. Either way in hindsight I will say that I'm confident the Bills would have beat NE in the playoffs with a similar result even if that game was held in Foxboro and we didn't win the division. 4 hours ago, Stank_Nasty said: I’m sure those 50mph winds didn’t have anything to do with it.

Not disputing this but again, in 2020 despite being the best team record wise under JA17/McD there was a point in the season when Miami was only trailing by one game. Obviously they faltered down the stretch and Bills pulled away. Last year the Pats were a 2 full game up on the Bills at one point when we were 7-6 and they were 9-4, and I can find many receipts on this forum where even die hard homers thought the Pats were going to win the division at that point. I still believe this team is the prohibitive favorite to win a 3rd straight division title this year but the road is likely going to be more perilous again especially if this team doesn't show up every week and is inconsistent like like year.

To McDermott's credit, this team has played their best football down the stretch when it mattered most in recent years and I agree with that and definitlely not a fluke. But again, if other teams in the division ever catch up it's a perilous position to rely on turning the switch on so to speak because there are no guarantees in this league.
