Sierra Foothills Posted 11 hours ago Posted 11 hours ago Sal getting heated and authoritative was a stupid look. On a major market radio station, he had the opportunity to appear wise, fair, and considered. Instead, being angrily dismissive of a fair and legitimate criticism of McDermott made him look like a shallow blowhard... a local hack trying to suck up to the Head Coach. 3 3 Quote

Calling in to complain about how the team wins ugly. Make me puke. We're 9-4 and headed to playoffs for the 7th season in a row. I was there for 17 years drought. I remember being excited to have a chance at 6-7 this late in the year. it was ten short years ago. these mcdermott haters can't wait to go back to being pats and steelers fans. are you going to tell your kids about how many wild card games you saw the most gifted qb in the history of the league win? and how impressive that is because Chan Hailey couldn’t even make the playoffs with fitz? It’s sad I’m apparently not allowed to have expectations now because the team was bad before. Edited 10 hours ago by NoSaint Quote

Like our city should lower it's expectations and doesn't deserve a world championship I grew up in cheektowaga and our family has been going to Bills games since 1993 every year It’s an inferiority complex I noticed when I lived in Buffalo: “We’re just a poor, declining rust belt town that is lucky to have any sort of pro sports franchise. We should be happy with the Bills and Sabres no matter how bad they are, and if we criticize them too much, they might leave.” There is actually some truth to it…if the 4 major sports leagues were starting over today, there’s no way Buffalo has a team in any of the four. But I can’t accept that attitude when the Bills are part of a league that’s built on parity, where small-market franchises are at zero disadvantage vs the NY, Chicago and LAs of the world… Edited 9 hours ago by mannc 2 Quote
billsfan714 Posted 7 hours ago Posted 7 hours ago (edited) 11 hours ago, Kelly to Allen said: The bills have the worst defense in NFL history over its past five elimination games under 1 hc ( 33.2 ppg allowed) They have forced 8 punts in those 5 games. Baltimore for example forced 7 punts in one AFC championship... This is under the context of a " defensive hc" Simultaneously, Allen at age 28 already has matched Bradshaw and Elway's entire playoff career in playoff tds, surpassed Kelly in playoff PASSING tds. Allen has the lowest turnover percentage and int percentage in NFL playoff history and the best td to int ratio in NFL playoff history In the playoffs vs KC, Allen has 9 tds and 1 int , 11 total tds and 1 turnover with a passer rating of 100... With just avg playoff defense we already would've been to a couple Superbowls It's embarrassing and completely ridiculous that anyone in any fanbase should accept this More importantly, the bills ascending has everything to do with an all time great QB, and not the HC. Who's defense in 2020 was 16th in pts, or 11th in pts in 2024, and currently 14th in points. The bills defense is 21st in dvoa this year, and has been in general regression over the past few years. Again with a defensive hc.... Just against Cincinnati, the bills forced 2 turnovers, Cincinnati still scored 34 pts, including a 50 second drive at the end of the game that is expected at this point with McDermott and his defense. 10/12 on 3rd down.... If you take away the Jets game this year where the Jets were were 0- 11 on 3rd down, the bills defense ranks near the bottom in the entire NFL on 3rd down.... All of this is pointing to a very basic problem The bills have a 1st ballot Hof QBs, who's putting up all time production in the playoffs that is being wasted by a defensive hc and defense that is the worst in NFL playoff history You and ppl like sal are then taking this data and saying we should be overwhelmed with gratitude for a coach that's not even as good as dick jaroun. I'm not joking either, Dick Jaroun was a better HC. He took a Jim Miller led bears team to a truly dominant defense and 13 wins. I personally was completely over all of this with McDermott after the AFC championship where mahomes had the most efficient game of his season lol I don't even need to bring up 13 seconds even though it's clouds the entire ridiculous nature of this hc and everything he symbolizes in this era with Allen.... When you have a QB like this, you should be going to multiple super bowls.... We are at the point where if Allen has a meh to bad game, there is zero hope we can win either this week or in the playoffs. And this very coach is now gaslighting the fanbase that the defense is not the problem, the actual problem is we need to play offense like Iowa, and purposely shorten the game to achieve our goals I'm completely over it... I trust our qb, and it gives me hope. I have zero faith in McDermott and his defense. Full stop Not because of an agenda, not because it's personal, not because I lack gratitude..... it's because of facts Now we have to deal with a real qb and hc in the division too. The previous 5 years we already should've cashed in on at least 1 super bowl. Probably 2. This AFC bracket, will most likely be without, mahomes, burrow & Lamar. I am expecting this hc to be a real defensive hc and play avg defense. I'm not asking the defense to be the 75 Steelers, I'm asking for avg playoff defense....With this QB we should be the AFC representative in the super bowl. I'm tired of the excuses for the hc. Damn that is one great post. You said everything Ive been thinking and backed it up with facts. To use a Bill Burr analogy, when does McD and his defense pickup their end of the couch?

Sal has that inferiority complex in his blood to a T. Not like Eastman Kodak is flying high in Rochester. You have a QB with better playoff numbers than Kelly and Elway and the best we can do with that is some playoffs? Quote

I will never take a Buffalo Bills game with Josh Allen for granted because it's finite The biggest lie is that people who talk about wanting a SB don't 'enjoy the season' 1 Quote

I suppose you removed the most advantageous game for all teams to make the stats fair, or did you just do it for the Bills to skew the stats to support your point? Quote
