zow2 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 The McDermott/Dorsey, high flying Bills who win games by 4 TDs are back to their old ways of not being able to win the close ones. That’s my main problem with McD. Win the close games, the team should be able to do that. KC wins so many one possession games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can a team look so good one week and then this happens. Somebody will be held accountable sooner or later. Made myself watch the presser, of McDermott crying, and saying he didn’t bring the energy. Looks like Doug Pederson brings more energy to a game then Sean does. We’re getting to see the impacts of a mundane stat padding Coach and an elite Super Bowl winning Coach. After thirteen seconds we stuck with stat padding and I think that’s the story of McDermott’s career. Fine for the season though with injuries becoming a strong “if” and largely unimpressive, unfocused, and uninspired in the post season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're far from dominant. Also, a five point loss isn't something to feel shame about ffs. The Bills were soundly beaten despite getting two huge turnovers. It was a pathetic performance by the offense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mannc Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 6 minutes ago, Gregg said: Jacksonville isn't a bad team. Many have them winning their division. They had a big advantage being in London for 2 weeks while the Bills only arrived a couple of days before the game. Buffalo was never going 16-1. They will lose some more games. The Jets built their team that matches up well with Buffalo. Look at the last 3 games vs them as they were all one score games. The injuries are a concern, but the Bills should win enough games to get into the playoffs. I agree with everything you said. This is a playoff team, that will exit relatively early in the playoffs when they have to play a really good defense or another elite QB. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boyst Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 10 hours ago, I am leaving for good said: I think the bigger problem is some of our defensive players are aging. At some point the Buffalo Bills are going to have to find replacements for Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer there both 32 years old. Von Miller looks like his better days in the NFL are behind him. This team reminds me of the Chuck Knox Buffalo Bills teams he had a lot of veterans with some success then when he left the wheels really came off. Terry Pegula bigger issue than the GM and head coach to potentially deal with is convincing Josh Allen to stick around for a Buffalo Bills rebuild. I don’t think Josh Allen is going to wait around for a rebuild so yes there is potential problems for this present Buffalo Bills roster down the road. If you’re Josh Allen you’re not sticking around on a 7-10 football team. Stefon Diggs will be long gone he looks like he wants out of Buffalo now. So it really doesn’t matter about the coach he will be fired at some point. Coaches get hired to be fired. We will see all these Sean McDermott Buffalo Bills supporters when they have some 7-10 records for the Buffalo Bills if they are so loyal to McDermott and GM Brandon Beane. Buffalo Super Fan are you saying to fire them? Yes if the Buffalo Bills begin to lose no head coach has a job forever that is ridiculous. Sean McDermott is winning because of Josh Allen just like Tom Brady in New England. Sean McDermott is a average coach at best. Put Sean McDermott in New England Patriots or the New York Jets and see how well he does. I doubt he wins in those places in my opinion. Go Bills! Let’s Go Buffalo all of this is compounded by our specifically schemed defense which is not an easy plug and play unit. it is niche and nuanced which needs specific type players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Largely it’s McDermott who cannot bring energy, excel, and keep his players excited. That somber presser of not being able to bring the energy. He’s a stat padding Coach who’s unbelievably mediocre when it matters most. It’s almost like he’s saying he’s quitting on players when it matters most and cannot elevate them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gregg Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 On the plus side our next 3 games are the Giants, at Pats, Bucs. The Bills SHOULD be 6-2 before heading to Cincinnati. The Bucs could give the Bills a good game but it's at home, so I expect the Bills to win. The Giants and Pats should be slam dunk wins even with our injuries on defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On top of that, McD is the HC/DC, that's alot to keep up with. He has to give Dorsey freedom with the offense just to keep up. If anything Dorsey is on the hot seat, which I wouldn't be in board with after one bad game. To be fair the coaching staff made the unconventional decision to wait until Friday to travel. They own some of the fatigue discussion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team that is unstoppable one week and mind boggling on others. My opinion is that McDermotts feet should be a little hot. Sorry. Sorry but there is a problem with your expectations. This team is actually the most consistent team in the league other than Chiefs. We have 2nd most wins since 2020, we are leading in point differential in that span by a large margin. These is one team in the league better than Bills in terms of quality and consistency. Teams you are dreaming about do not exist in real world.

BernieBill Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 You know which teams play the same every week, at the same elite level? The 49ers, the Chiefs, the Eagles ... if they happen to lose, they lose tough and they don't lose playing like utter garbage ... the Bills, by contrast, have wild fluctuations, games in which they are obviously outcoached and poorly prepared ... let's see how many McDermott acolytes will vomit or red X this post ... I'll say it again: Sean McDermott should have been fired 5 minutes after the 13 seconds game in Kansas City and should not be coaching a team with Josh Allen as the quarterback ... he'd be a fine defensive coordinator, not a head coach, not in today's NFL ... did you see the 49ers offensive execution last night against Dalls? That's a well-coached, well-oiled offense primed to win a championship ... the Bills? They blow teams out in the regular season, lose games they should win, and underperform in the playoffs against elite coaches and organizations.

At some point the roller coaster needs to stop. We have all seen how great this team can be. We only get so many chances with Allen at the helm. Beane has to be at least pondering the idea of coaching being the issue. Also is there an issue with this teams conditioning? Lots of injuries the past 2-3 years. Will these type of posts ever stop ? You ever here the saying any given sunday ? 1 bad freakin game & it's all on the HC when the players are the ones that have to execute then you don't even take in the fact that after Daquan, Millano, & Rouseau, went down they were also with out Tre 4 starters that have HUGE input on this team . Yah next man up but where you have 4 pro bowl caliber players out & 5 if you include Von plus i think Shaq went out too but it's all about the dam coach come on man !! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
