McD isn't the best HC in the NFL, but he is one of the top 5 or 10.  

 

People calling for his head are like the people calling for Tony Dungy's head in Tampa.  In Tampa, they didn't believe Dungy could win a Super Bowl despite his success getting his team into the playoffs.   So, after Tampa canned him, Dungy won the Lombardi for Indy instead.  

 

I don't think McD is in danger at all. But he's going to have to step up and make some decisions that are going to be awfully tough...Otherwise he will be in trouble this time next year...

McDermott isn't dungy. He's worse

Came out with no passion or cohesion and was punched in the mouth and took it.

 

Back to back TD's and three and outs by the offense.

 

They were beaten at every facet of the game and the coaches had no answer.  

 

One of the worst playoff performances I've ever seen by a home team.

 

Emotionally and mentally spent. Just had nothing left to give.

Sadly being unprepared for some big games is something I have seen a few too many times in the McD era. Losing to the Colts, Saints and Bucs in losses where the team looked confused, unready or tired is hard to understand. McD isnt one of those old school "win one for the gipper" speech coaches. Its as if he relies on others to focus the team or just lets the players do it themselves. By contrast the Bengals looked prepared as if they had studied all of the Bills weaknesses and were completely unafraid.

No Payton did.

We had two.  Losing to Zach Wilson was also a bizarre clunker.

 

Yea but that was a tight game that we stupidly found a way to lose. I mean like the 2019 Eagles game or the 2020 Tennessee game or the 2021 Colts game. Games where we are just not competitive.

The worst game we have played since the Colts mid last season. It was a point of interest to me that in 2022 we had avoided that seemingly standard one clunker game per season of this regime. Sadly we just saved it for today. 

 

Bad coaching. Bad Quarterbacking. Bad execution. 

Josh didn't stand a chance and blame coaching for that.

 

 By the way did he forget to run too?

I don't blame him, I'd be pissed too.  Repeated failures.

You have to be there for your brothers through ups and downs. F**k his ego. You run out the locker room to go see Damar then do the same when you lose? Busch league. Jaw at your QB all you want dude. You’re a pro and should be able to see the OL let jailbreaks happen once every 4 down set.

Daboll was more creative, more unpredictable, more pragmatic... and he could force Josh to play within the structure of the offense.

 

Chuck n Duck Dorsey... jesus christ... does he even read the self-scouting reports from the Offensive Quality Control staff? 

We are easy to coach against.

Whatever it takes.  Is it Frazier or is our Dline been basically bust and wasted FA money?  Its a serious question 

Frazier’s D scheme cannot work without DL pressure. It’s not a chicken or egg question. Both have failed because they rely on each other.

I’m afraid you’re right. The fins are coming and let’s be honest should have beat us every game. They will come charging and will make improvements and we will do nothing and expect to win by just showing up. 

I’d kill for Mike mc💨aniels at coach for the next 4 years!!!

The Bills have had one every season. Earlier in the year I was worried it was coming in certain games, especially early on with the supposed tough start. I'd forgotten about that one game mess-the-bed pattern that the Bills have, until now. Unfortunately today was the day.

In your analysis both have failed.  Very disappointing but I can see your point

How is Diggs becoming a problem? Please explain …..

The last what 5 or 6 games he’s been yelling at Josh in the game and on the sidelines! He did it again today! It feels like the Vikings situation all over again.

For all those who said an ugly win is a win, well it came back to haunt us today!

 

Even felt like some of the players were using that mantra to avoid facing some hard questions about issues in their game that needed to be taken seriously.

 

Who knows, but I do know that the odds are against teams being able to wing their way into a championship.

 

They usually crash into a team that is just playing more consistently in all phases and lose.

Amazing, at the beginning of the season praise was being heaped by pundits for having the most complete roster, to this.

We had a lot of injuries on defense to be fair, and players on offense regressed.

Diggs is good! But I think he’s becoming a problem, I’d try to trade him this offseason. What could we get for him? 

 

The only way Diggs becomes a problem is if a ten second snipe on the sidelines results in a complete breakdown in his relationship with Josh, which I can't imagine happening.

We quit mid/late third and early fourth quarter.  Never thought I would see that at home in OP.   That’s what I hate the most.  I can deal with losing.  I can’t deal with these guys giving up.

Lol, I think you missed what happened in Tampa after they got rid of Dungy.

Yeah I think so. His D can work with pressure but it hasn’t materialized, which is Beane’s fault.


So you’re now forced to find a D scheme that can work with the players we have rather than getting the best DC and trying to force our pieces to work in their scheme. Forcing bad/good pieces into good/bad schemes was the recipe during the drought years.

Control the hero ball, third and two in your own end you don’t lob 30 yard passes in a snow storm. You get the first down. You all said no problem last week we scored over 30 points. Well this week exposed the flaw in your thinking. It’s a combination of play design and hero ball mixed with a pathetic o line. Recipe for play of disaster. 

It would have been a first down if Gabe held onto the ***** ball. Can’t blame the qb for that. The ball was there to make a play and it was dropped. Would it make you feel better if he threw it 3 yards and it was dropped?
