I want to add that I am not arguing with you. I am going against what the media, Philly people, and others have always said about Reid. I’m also not saying Reid was a bad coach before he won … he has always been a great coach even if he has usually always had good talent it does take 2 to tango … and smith and Mcnabb were no slouches either but he had an ability to coach them up and BB took a mediocre team with a rag armed rookie QB to the playoffs last year and was within 1 game this year… I wouldn’t knock his coaching prowess either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milano MaY be a fringe impact / difference maker. So you must think McDermott is an amazing coach because we went 13-3 with only 2 impact players during the season because one of them went on IR.

He is more even kilter and protects the ball better. As close as they are in many areas, that gives Mahomes the edge. With that said, I wouldn’t trade Josh for Mahomes…he fits in so well with the city and who cares he isn’t quite as good as a Mahomes overall, he still gives us a GREAT shot at what we’ve all been wanting! He had two fewer INTS than josh this year I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder how much is it Beane vs Mcd if the pass rush can’t get home . Todays game is about not being out coached by a younger head coach with a less experienced franchise QB. I really believe it comes down to Sean’s coordinators; they know what he expects and they have to come thru. This D has been victimized even when statistically it seems they should dominate. Frazier needs to prove today all his experience matters. Why is it he is not getting Hc interviews despite apparent top tier defenses over time? Ageism? Maybe. But maybe it’s because things l8e 13 seconds happened. It can’t happen again. Mcd has said he was sure Dorsey wanted some series back , like the two bomb throws on a quick 3 and out last week. Dorsey has every weapon available and even some from last year. It’s his first year in the playoffs, so each step is still a learning process. The o can score , we just need turnover free possessions. So imo, rests on Frazier , having had a glimpse what Cincy was going to do and attack. He got a reprieve; and even one of his players got a one in real life. Cincy has a worse O line than in the first game. It’s now a home game and you have Mafia noise to support you. Go after them Leslie! Hit the QB , make them be patient and try to run. How bout for once we don’t give up 7 immediately on the first drive ; don’t let them get cocky? Beane tried the best he could but luck ruined that plan. Today Sean needs competent , quality coaching around him. Take this and you’re one game away from a chance at a SB at a neutral site ; finally not in Kc , not where 13 seconds ruined things. You are set up to be good today, experience says you have an edge. Today had to be good! Good luck and Go Bills! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Eagles were favorites because they were supposed to win the game. They didn’t. You can make every excuse why it took him 20 years but it doesn’t change the fact it took 20 years. He wasn’t a good post season coach until he got Mahomes. He is currently 1-5 against the Bills and Bengals in the last 6 meetings. He was a below .500 coach in the playoffs before Mahomes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ll continue to be here for as long as the team is successful, but like I said, even with that success if they choke/blow playoffs games like we’ve seen it should be considered. Just my unpopular opinion.

Mat68 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Because he gives Allen freedom. 99% of defensive minded coaches make the offense go super conservative after the second quarter vs Miami. Look at Staley with LAC. Up big they went ball control and blew the game to Jacksonville. Mcdermott has instilled confidence in Allen to be his best. You cant get last years playoff Allen without riding out games like last week. Forcing the offense to run more on first down and using other coach speak from the 80’s and 90’s is why many defensive coaches fail today. In the analytic world Mcdermott has found the balance imo. He will be aggressive, he will also kick and punt. Keeping the opposing team guessing is still important in these games. Knowing what the other team will do is an advantage. Its tough to accurately determine what Mcdermott will do in each situation. Each situation requires an individual decision. Many are too aggressive or too conservative.

I want to start by saying I respect McD and believe he is the reason the Bills have gone from the trash heap of the NFL to being among the elite teams. BUT, today is going to be an assessment of just how far a defensive minded organization can take a team in the modern NFL. On paper the Bills should win this game. Our investment in the D, particularly the D line, should pay huge dividends against an offense missing 3 starters on the O line. The Bills have chosen to copy the Carolina Panther approach of relying on an elite QB to lift the offense while pushing the majority of resources to the defense. It kind of worked for the Panthers with a SB appearance but that was in an older NFL. Can this work today? I'm not sure. I hope it can but it remains to be seen.

They then selected a WR that they’ve barely used and followed up by spending 3 more draft picks on defense. mcduffie karlaftis Cook chenal williams all taken in the first 4 rounds. They replaced Tyreek by spending small money on juju and stupid money on MVS (and 2nd rd pick on Moore). Everything else was spent on D. Mahomes is a once in a generation QB too and they didn’t surround him with all the offensive resources available. They did the opposite this offseason. If the money invested in the D was healthy….. Josh wouldn’t have to be Superman. Injuries happen. It’s tough to replace von and Micah and still be a dominant d.

MANY forgot those times (or weren’t around then), but that was the biggest knock on Reid that he couldn’t win a SuperBowl. Now look at him, no one’s saying that anymore, but Reid has always been a good coach and that never changed. Beane/McDermott have us in position to chase a SuperBowl year over year and that should not be overlooked. It’s much easier to be bad in the NFL than it is to be good, moving on from McDermott doesn’t guarantee success, and many act like it would. Regardless of how this postseason plays out, there is no reason to consider moving on from McDermott or Beane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their defensive heavy philosophy will be tested today and next week(assuming they get there)…. Not sure how anyone can support more cap money and high round picks on defense with the offense secondary if the defense goes out there and gets pummeled in another playoff game. How many injuries have the chiefs had over the last 4 years on D? How many playoff games has Chris jones or Frank Clark miss? If Chris jones were to be out, so would the chiefs. It’s the same thing. Sucks for us that we lost 2 all pros. And we still went 13-3 and we’re in control of our own destiny. now daquan is out too. Our 3 biggest investment kn D this offseason; von, daquan and Phillips. 2 injured and the other is 50%. We saw them work over Mahomes in KC already. We know the investment was a good one as when they were healthy, they were awesome together. Injuries are a toll of the dice. We just happened to come up snake eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’ve highly invested everywhere upfront and while the loss of Miller and Jones hurt, they still have two 1st and two 2nd round picks there on top of the money they paid those guys. They had tredavious in the first meeting. They didn’t in the 2nd We had von Miller this year. We had daquan. We beat them. Now we don’t….. and it hurts. what if we had invested 15M in Brandon Scherf…. And he was hurt and didn’t play this game? the injuries have prevented us from seeing if we did what was needed to do to get over the hump. Injuries end teams’ season every year. It hasn’t ended ours yet, but I think von and daquan playing in this game, would’ve made a difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfanatic8989 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Getting beat by the Bengals is not embarassing. Getting beat like this, by anyone, in our own home is embarassing. McD still has time here to change things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we lost by a play or 2 maybe I could get on board. Cincy is literally pulling up and playing safe, and have been the whole 2nd half.

Mat68 Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 Im a Mcdermott fan. He change the whole culture in Buf. I defended him yesterday on this thread. Sean Payton is a better coach. His offense with Allen would be difference maker. I will take a 1 superbowl over 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
