Poor coaching by McDermott is becoming a theme

Recommended Posts

My goodness.  One loss, in freakish circumstances, and everyone wants to point fingers and throw all the bums out!  I would wager there are not many coaches who would not have gotten blown out in this game with the players we had to field in this game.

 

The one good thing about this loss is no one is talking about the Bills today.  They are talking about the Dolphins.  We are not favored on the road this week.  They do better as underdogs.  Get healthy and back to work.

McDermott is getting roasted in the media today. 
 

He needs a bounce back win Sunday in a big way. 
 

Not for his job security this year, but these voices will become LOUD if this team is sitting there at .500

But we are favored on the road, at least according to the betting odds.

About half way into the video Mike Florio begins to voice his concern that McDermott may not be the right person to get the Bills over the hump.


He compares the situation to John Fox in Denver. Fox was good in Denver. He went 38-10 in his last three seasons.

 

But it took Fox being fired (after a 12-4 season) and Kubiak being hired for the Broncos to land a Lombardi trophy with that loaded roster.

Question...Did John Fox open the season demolishing the defending champs and then the AFC number 1 seed in back to back weeks...so much so, we had start benching starters in the 3rd Quarter?

 

Did he follow that game up with having to go on the road on a short week missing half of his defensive starters and starting OC just to lose 5 more guys who started that game and several backups, including 5 OL?  While also playing in extreme heat with no relief and seeing not injuried starters have to keep coming out of the game for fluids and cramping?  

 

If not...then everyone needs to pipe down.  McD and Beane were the toast of the NFL a week ago, then in an extreme situation game some breaks didn't go our way.  Is it McD's fault Van Roten botched a snap at end of half costing us a FG attempt?  Is it McD's fault Bass shanked a gimme FG?  Is it McD's fault Milano dropped a pick 6?  Is it McD's fault McKenzie didn't run straight out of bounds giving us enough time for one more play for yards on the sideline at end of game?  Is it McD's fault the 2nd and 3rd string OL while having been on the field almost an entire quarter with no one to sub in, no shade, no breaks was gassed down the stretch?  

 

I mean we took NINETY THREE offensive plays compared to their 39 and dominated the time of possession.  And there is a thread today about whether or not our Defensive coach needs to be fired for someone who knows offense?  

 

How about we just need to get healthy and we have the best team and roster in the NFL?

To be fair, it’s a pattern of losing close games.

 

Not just 1 loss.


Reid hasn’t lost his last 7 one score games.

If Florio says than we know that McDermott is the exact right person.

I really don't understand the coaching getting called out for yesterday's loss. It was individual errors which led to our defeat. Yes, there were a couple of questionable calls but the bigger problem was execution.
