JaCrispy Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) When the bills kept blowing opportunities in the first half, I felt we were gonna lose…even texted my brother in law at halftime when we were up 17-7…as a bills fan I have just come to expect it as our fate… Edited November 27, 2023 by JaCrispy 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill from NYC Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 A few quick observations: 1) 10 penalties in the first half. 10 freaking penalties? That is an average of one every 3 minutes of playing time. This begs the question.....when will McDermott be held accountable for this? Who should we blame? Beane? The refs? Mr. Pegula will have to get sick of his act for a change to be made because McDermott obviously has more power than Beane. 2) Did you see Gabe Davis toss his helmet after what appeared to be a miscommunication between him and Josh on a pass? How many players tosed their helmets after his numerous drops this and last season? Imagine how good Josh would be with even an adequate #2 receiver, let alone a good one!!! 3) Diggs is great. He really is and not only that, he could be seen trying to calm down the pouting Diggs and encouraging other teammates. Isn't he supposed to be the "diva?" 4) The offensive line played well, giving Josh time to throw some freaking great passes, to include a deep out pattern in the pouring rain. VERY few qbs could have made that throw. I made it a point to watch Spencer Brown and imo he played rather well. Dawkins also played a fine game imo. In summary, I think that McDermott is the main problem with this team. Between the poor drafts and the last minute losses in important games, I think that it is time for a change, unless he by some miracle turns this team completely around. It might happen too but sadly, it does seem unlikely. As always, jmo. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Jones Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 10 hours ago, folz said: People already going off on the coaching staff. Unbelievable. This game was totally on the Bills players and the refs. If Cook doesn't drop a gimme TD, Gabe and Josh are on the same page in OT, and Tyler hits his FGs, the Bills win by 16 points. And don't even get me started on the refs. I am on the “get rid of McD because he can’t get over the hump” train, but this post is 100% spot on. The hard reality is that the Bills just don’t have the talent/skills to win these close games. And of course injuries contribute to this, as well as unbelievably one-sided officiating. Not sure how the league office can look at this game and say that it was officiated fairly. The bottom line is that until they get some better players (WHO CAN EXECUTE REGULARLY), Josh Allen’s Hero ball is not enough to take them to a championship.

I'm not on that train yet because he adds so much quality to this organization. The major (non-emotional response) issue I see is he has to figure out the close games. He at worst has us in every game till the last drive. It's the offense can't make one more throw or the defense can't make one more stop that is the downfall of the 6-6 team. BTW we would have been ecstatic to be .500 this late in the season before McDermott so he definitely has raised the bar. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I can't tell if the posts sticking up for the defense/McDermott saying the offense needs to be better and make more plays are trolling or it's actually what people believe It's been 6 years of the same conservative, play not to lose, allowing late fourth quarter comeback after late fourth quarter comeback Zach Wilson, Mac Jones, Russell Wilson and I should be including tyrod Taylor all had game winning and game tying drives against this defense (arguably the two worst starting QBs in the league, a walking meme and a back up that is average at best( if the eagles realized they could throw the ball down field and actually used swift outside in the first half they would have put up 60 points on this defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steptide Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I still just can't get over that after 6 seasons as our head coach, McDermott still hasent figured out how to manage the end of a close game. The time out, the kneeling with 20 seconds, I just can't get over it 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad fewer and fewer are spouting this nonsense, but it needs to be zero so Pegula sees a united fanbase demanding a change. McDermott has Allen. That is why we are .500 this late in the season and why previous Bills teams weren't. McDermott shouldn't be compared to previous Bills coaches. He should only be compared to his league-wide peers who have elite QBs. 5 minutes ago, Miyagi-Do Karate said: Couldn’t sleep well last night. That loss is going to be hard to get over.

Crazy thing is, we have 5 games left and very well could win them all if they keep playing like that. Its unlikely, but this feels very similar to 2021 when we were 7-6. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
