BruceVilanch Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 It's not as much that he can coach us to it, but I think Josh can will us to one and he will be the coach when that happens. 4 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
26TrapDraw Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 After that Bengals game I don’t think he can get the team there mentally. But that’s MHO. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreadlox Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I voted no. I mean, the team could win a super bowl with him as coach but it won’t be because of him. 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

3rdand12 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I think so. But not as the Team sits right now. McBeanes got an eye opening last few weeks. Miami was when it became glaring we are hardly a complete team Changes and growth need to come beginning shortly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LifeLongBillsFan Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 He is good enough - hiring a rookie OC is a questionable call - wish we could have Frank Reich come in as a consultant - it would help a lot! I think the defensive scheme does work well with key injuries 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirAndrew Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I voted no, and I didn’t want to. McD’s culture has turned around this franchise, and he seems like a great guy. I’m concerned that 2020 was the high point for this team. Elite QB’s like Allen don’t always win titles early in their career, but we’re seeing more flaws in this team as time passes. It seems that a different flaw is being uncovered each season. We’re not progressing slowly uphill, we’ve remained stagnant at best, and regressed at worse. I think of the Super Bowl era Bills teams. The 88 and 89 seasons were a slow climb to the Super Bowl. We seem trapped behind two better teams with anyone else potentially passing us. I’m not sure what the plan is to pull ahead, aside from hoping Josh does something incredible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transient Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Yes, but not with Frazier as the DC, and not with Dorsey calling games the way he did at the very end of the season. He needs a more aggressive DC, even if they run the same scheme fundamentally. I think they need to worry less about the defensive statistics and more about making opposing QBs uncomfortable and forcing TOs. If you #### up and it costs you a chunk play or a score, then ride Allen's arm to bail you out. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until it happens there will be a doubt ...no recent behavior to indicate YES *shrugs* But I voted Yes. Because in view of allll the circumstances and vital injuries I am not laying Sundays loss completely at his feet.

Nice guy, I could care less. Just don't want to waste a talent like Allen on a guy who doesn't have it. Yeah, that’s kind of where I am. No one took accountability for 13 seconds, but you let it go. This season had the potential to let those sins be forgiven. Somehow it seems like this season ended much the same way, albeit with a different type of loss. It ends with more questions of accountability. Who’s going to take accountability for the defensive meltdowns? Who takes accountability for a plethora of ineffective draft picks? I don’t know if anyone does, and then I’m left pondering how 2023 will be different. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsPride12 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hard to say. To be fair to McDermott this is NOT a Super Bowl roster in my opinion. Both lines need to be completely revamped, need to add at least one more playmaker on offense. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Maybe. And I'd probably say that about ANY coach out there right now. Yes, some active coaches have won SB's - but even Reid is about to go to his 5th AFCCG, and I'm gonna guess he loses that one. They got a SB, but Jimmy G. missed a long pass in that game that would have made KC just like the Bills - still trying to get it. There really haven't been THAT many great coaches. McD is average, imo - but most coaches are. It's hard to find a great one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I don’t think so. We have a mediocre coaching staff all around, especially on defense which is supposed to be McD’s specialty. I think we’re good enough to get to the playoffs though but that's only because Josh is a great QB, without him we would tank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s what a highly proficient offensive innovator can do with a scrub QB. Belichick can’t even make 1st RD QB Mac Jones look good and at least Belichick can actually field a really good defense, McD can’t.

Though I think he had a hand in a lot of the draft picks - especially on defense so he does bear some of that blame. Still I think as the year progressed and injuries to key players happened, the roster wasn’t as loaded as we thought pre-season. The areas which were neglected - offensive line, CB, and WR depth came back to bite us in the ass 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan3482 Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I voted No. I strongly believe if the staff stays the same with just some roster moves. We might as well pause these threads until Jan 2024. Because nothing will change, soft defense, hero ball, no creative offense, STILL no run game, and Nyheim Hines will still have a limited roll because he's learning the offense. Teams make trades and players play almost immediately. Our offense struggled and we couldn't find ways to use Hines or Cook who looked quick and decisive. Time to move on to new ideas and schemes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillMafia716ix Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 I’m a McDermott supporter but him and Frazier blew the 13 seconds vs. KC and this year they basically showed up unprepared and got blown out. Seems like in our biggest games vs. good teams, We always get out coached. Very curious to see how they bounce back from this. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
