Buffalo / Philly Postgame thread

[KOKBILLS]

Anyone want to start a list of the close games they have lost late in almost impossible fashion under McD? 

[Best Williams Available]

Bills had 505 yards of offense against this D in this weather???? Sorry see ya McD. You’re trash.

[SageAgainstTheMachine]

Can't get lucky one damn time and have the opposing kicker miss a 59 yarder in the rain.  Can't have Brown take one more step before the ball gets popped out.  Gabe ***** Davis can't run the correct route to easily end the game.  The collective scenarios that have led to these tragic losses are absolutely mind boggling.

Ironic, before we got OT rules changed we'd have won w/ the FG. 

 

no. that was always the rule.  Need a TD on the first drive to win or the other team gets a chance.  Thats not what changed.

This is my last weekend watching NFL football till at least the playoffs. The officiating is dominating games, and definitely not just us, and I watch to see players make plays not to watch officials call ticky tack stuff while missing obvious things that have to be called. 

Ratbirds just nailed Herbert out of bounds, no flag....oops yeah its on the Chargers. WTF

I mean...I dunno what to say...all they had to do is make a single play out of these easy freebies and the game is over.

 

• James Cook dropping a TD
• Bass missing 2 FG's(1 was blocked)
• Hyde turning his head around and not allowing a "Hail Hurts" that for all intents and purposes looked exactly like the "Hail Murray".
• Gabe Davis not turning the wrong way against a blitz that would have led him to an easy TD

Another game where the Bills had to beat themselves via dumb plays and penalties(many of which the refs gave the Eagles as gifts as well as many no calls against them).  

 

Put up 505 yards against the Eagles...there is NO WAY they should have lost this game.

 

Yep...

[BuffaloBaumer]

I give, you beat me Bills. You finally beat me….see you next year but this year, nope, no more emotion here. I’ve already moved on to work schedule tomorrow so you have finished my training indeed. 
 

Good luck all, the pain is certainly far from over 🤣

WTF with Gabe not snapping his head around on 3rd and long where it was clearly a blitz down. 

 

 

It was an option route, either go to the corner or the middle depending on where the CB is playing you.  Corner is playing him to the outside so he should have went to the middle for an easy touchdown.  Hard to be hard on Gabe with the game he had, but, he clearly made the wrong route decision there.

Cursed, and they’re building a new stadium in the same place.

Nah it was sudden death until about 15 years ago

Yep. Got it, this is wrong. Thanks for correcting me that our change was only for the playoffs. This completes an awesome Bills day for me. Sorry, & carry on.

this is ALL on the Defense and McDermott.  Time to move on.

 

Get Frazier back as DC and get an Offensive minded HC

No - not Frazier. Are you nuts?

McDermotts refusal to stop playing squishy defense when the game is on the line has cost us numerous games. How can this still be happening after 13 seconds?

He is trying to make us forget 13 seconds.

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

There’s never once a time where a game like this goes our way. How is it even possible that we are on the wrong side 100% of the time? You just expect it and know it’s coming. None of us deserve this

Last 5 PHL drives: TD TD punt FG TD...this team does not know how to close out a game....

and the Bills have now lost 4 of their 6 losses on essentially the last play of the game.

 

Lack of intensity for 60 minutes is on the coaches period. 

[TheWeatherMan]

You know you suck as a GM/HC when it takes you 29 games to realize your QB coach is a better OC than your OC.  Brady called a nearly perfect game, at this point I’m good with him as the OC.

Throw someone under the bus you gutless puke Sean

[HurlyBurly51]

You gotta remember who the owner is - nothing gonna change.  I'll happily eat my hat to be wrong.

[ChrisWatson#21]

What happened to Kincaid in the second half?  He wasn’t even targeted once.

Defense was better under Frazier than McD.

We couldn't beat the Eagles and the Refs today.  End of story, and season almost certainly over.  But, overall the Bills looked more like what we expected today.  We should not have been in a position where we needed wins over the top teams in the NFL.

Weak take.  The Bills should have won anyway but kept kicking themselves in the balls.  Cook drops an easy TD, two missed FG’s, Gabe, defense can’t stop a nosebleed in crunch time.  The list goes on

It's such disrespect for the fans.

 

Pegula & Beane should have to watch Nick Wright's ridicule on a loop.  This simply has to stop.

 

[atlbillsfan1975]

We now have enough information to know you can’t win it all with McD. 6-6 with this roster is inexcusable. I hope they quit on him, only way for him to be fired.

You should try fishing.  At least you can quit while you are winning there though.

Agreed, HC made dumb OC choice for 18 months. 
 

HC made bad OC and then took too long to fix it. Now we are toast

[DapperCam]

Bills defense completely collapsed in the second half. 5 TDs and a FG in the second half and OT. In the pouring rain.

 

Pathetic! I don’t care how injured they are. That is a sorry display.

[Another Fan]

I can’t believe McDermott still doesn’t learn anything with these DUMB defensive timeouts at the end of the game.  
 

What exactly does he think too when he calls them?  All it does is let the other teams regroup and or let the kicker think more about how to make the FG.  Especially in rainy conditions

Corner had inside leverage from my view.  

[buffalobillswin]

That 3rd and 4 in overtime was the back breaker. After that it was game over.

 

 

[ngbills]

How many choke games has McD lost now? I am seriously losing count. We were really lucky to not have lost the nyg and Tampa games too both on the last plays. McD may lead coaches with walk off losses. 

[Seventeen]

You forgot Hyde getting beat in the end zone, 150 penalties (most due to a lack of discipline), defensive scheme in 2nd half when we were all over Hurts in the 1st and the list goes on.

[HurlyBurly51]

After the Denver game McD was humble bragging about his D, subtly throwing his O under the bus.  Can't wait to hear his comments after this one.

What a win by the Refs and Eagles*

[DD4Bills]

We are stuck in an abusive relationship. I’ve loved the Bills for almost 50 years…when the f—k are they gonna start loving me back??

[All_Pro_Bills]

This defense just never makes the big stop against the top teams in these one-score games.  How many times have we suffered through reruns of this outcome?

The offense left the field with the lead inside 2 minutes in the 4th and in OT.  But as usual the defense folds, not once but twice.  

I was yelling for them to go for the first down in OT rather than kick the FG knowing they'd blow the lead.  We all knew they wern't going to hold off the Eagles offense if they touched the ball so going for the TD was the only chance to win

What's wrong with Sean isn't that he's a bad coach.  It's that his trust in his defense is misplaced because they come up empty over and over.

Unfortunately he's yet to catch on they suck in the clutch. He's taken this team as far as he's going to, time to go.

 

 

 

[Heitz]

Curious if any of the miscommunications on O were on the switch to Brady?  Regardless the O STILL looks better, despite the drops, refs and outcome of the game...
