Success Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 How many games like this do we have to lose. How many games where the defense FOLDS at the end. I don't care how well they play in the 1st quarter. We have to move on. We're likely missing the playoffs now. It makes no sense unless there is a change. 4 13 1 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice that you guys caught on 2 years too late. But at least you're there now. 5 1 7 5 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 He’s Dick Jauron with a talented roster. If you’re defending him at this point, I don’t know what to say. McDermott is HORRENDOUS. He’s a bottom 5 coach with an elite QB. He is a loser. He should be gone tomorrow but won’t be. He absolutely can’t be back in 2024. He can’t win. 8 17 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

damj Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 (edited) Let's not get hasty. Coach McDermott is a GREAT coach and it would be a major error to get rid of him.

Aussie Joe Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The team can’t win big or close games … Whilst that may not entirely be his fault, I think he plays a significant part … I don’t see this ending in a Championship .. Might be time this offseason to move in a different direction 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 Most people will not join where I've been for a couple of years. This was a classic big, close, exciting game...that the Bills lose. It's what McDermott does. Get rid of him THIS YEAR and get the rebuild going sooner than later. 6 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The o got much better when we fired the previous coach who actually had good stats over the entire course of his time here (he needed to be fired tho). We need to do the same again for the DC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Hutz Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I’ve been saying for years that the stats have always been misleading when it comes to the defense under McDermott. They play great when the Bills have a big lead and blow teams out, but if the game is close they almost always seem to fold like a house of cards when it matters most. 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaos Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 I would like to bring Leslie Frazier back as Head coach for the rest of the season as another way of seeing just how bad McDermott is. 2 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Jackson Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 The Bills have outscored opponents by 101 points. Only 1 AFC team, Baltimore, has a greater point differential. McDermott is THE biggest problem and it isn’t even close to what’s next. 8 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Success Posted November 27, 2023 Author Share Posted November 27, 2023 If you bring McDermott back next season - you're sending a signal that you do not care about having a top tier QB. It's over, man. I've never seen a coach lose so many winnable games. 3 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warcodered Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 A lot of things in this game kind of highlighted the problems with McDermott, and while it got even harder there's still a path for the Bills to make the playoffs. Because as much as this sucked one thing seemed somewhat clear Brady and the offense wasn't a complete fluke they could absolutely go on a run, especially if we're not having as ridiculous Reffed a game as that was. Focusing on McDermott, things that bugged me in this game his reaction to the refs, I get not wanting to make things worse, but when Allen got horse collared and they called a penalty on him and McDermott was talking to them politely, it was like "WTF am I watching here get in there face there being ***** ridiculous!" The defense in the first half was great they shut the Eagles down extremely well. The defense towards the end of the game was the same as always, it's like why do we change what works. I find myself thinking the same thing I think about burning clock it doesn't matter if it's passing or running you have to get first downs and keep the ball to burn clock and prevent D only works if you actually prevent them from moving the ball. If you're defense devolves into being so scared of the big play that it gets carved up inside and they just hurry up and hustle as they dink and dunk down into FG range what's even the point. Then once their down in the redzone and your defense is gassed from being worked down the field hopefully they don't break and give up a TD. 😒 The decision to kneel out the 20 seconds was aggravating, we have Josh Allen they have no timeouts be aggressive take some shots knowing you can't risk turning the ball over and maybe you give yourself a chance to win the game. McDermott was lucky we even won the coin toss and have some more missed calls and a bad route to be angry at, though we still got watch his standard soft prevent defense prevent nothing. It's frustrating because in a lot of ways he's been a very good coach he has made a great culture here and is overall a good defensive coach. But I don't know it's like he's trying too hard to make the right decision instead of just doing it, like he doesn't have that killer instinct for it maybe? Like he has it at times as a DC he can call some great defensive schemes but his feel for when to do things in the game just feels off, like when he'll have us switch to a clock burning offense when we're up by 14 at the start of the second half of a game when we should probably try and make sure to get up by more than 2 scores. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoscoeParrish Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 No. He’s the easy scapegoat. The next man up in the blame game. Our losses are by 6, 5, 4, 6, 2, 3. I don’t think a new HC gets you over that hump. Players are put in a position to win week in and week out. We shouldn’t take that for granted. 1 2 4 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
