I will admit to being one of them. 7 minutes ago, Buffalo_Stampede said: Better roster? I mean in every big loss we can point to our biggest players coming up short. Sure. And so can every other team. But some teams have coaches that make the most of the plays where balls aren't dropped, routes are run correctly, blocking is perfect, etc., and McDermott is not one of those coaches. If the players are playing A- or B+ football, which is fine because I don't expect 11 guys to execute every play perfectly, McDermott's coaching is a C or a C-. He is the most easily identifiable problem. Edited November 27, 2023 by Offside Number 76 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 after he poop canned dorsey, mc clapper said "this is a results business". well, at this point we are hoping and praying for the same results we got after the 2019 season, which is a close playoff loss. where we are right now, we basically have to win out or possibly drop 1 and get a lot of help to make the post season. we built a quick lead that we held onto into half time, and then got torched by houston making improbable play after play while our d missed tackles. i remember watching that game and thinking our team needed a star wr more than anything, and we went out and got one. since then, we've had the same exact exit time and time again from the playoffs, we dumped money on retreat linemen who never quite performed for us, now we have some of the same retreads (shaq and phillip) that we had then, and big dollars invested (along with picks) in the d allowing us to lose the same freaking way we lost that one, ditching a lead and getting trucked on D. in our first playoff win in a million years, we barely beat indy at home, and our d got trucked in that game something fierce. we beat up baltimore in a wind tunnel game, and then got steam rolled by KC. after that, it was 13 seconds and what i (along w many others) thought was a gold brick road to a superbowl ship was destroyed by awful awful coaching. then we get the improbable 13 win season where cinci murked us after we barely beat miami at home with UPS's best driver at qb. this season we have been in true playoff form, with some nice leads in games being squandered and a horrible defensive meltdown in 6 games leading us to a 500 record. we have who could be the goat at qb and finally a solid offensive line, and mccorch fired the oc in a desperation move. well that paid off as our o is on fire, but in spite of some early game strong play by the D from time to time, we can still ***** a loss from the jaws of victory by calling the same d out of the same look that opposing players make pithy comments about as they relegate us to the 10th best team in the afc. well, if this is the results business, the only result mcd can really claim to have added to our team over the past 4 seasons is pissing away an offense that refs and super bowl defenses can't stop while he dumps our draft and cap into our late game lawn chair defense. he's gotta go. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 IMO McDermott is more like Marvin Lewis and Marty Schottenheimer. Good coaches that can only take their teams so far. He’s done a great job turning the franchise around but does anyone have any confidence in him to make the right decisions in a close game against a quality opponent? His list of ways to give away games compared to quality wins isn’t even close. The Baltimore playoff game is probably his best big game win and that was with a hurt Lamar during half the game. Does anyone see this team going 5-0 or 4-1 the rest of the season? They haven’t won more than two games in a row all season. They are just as likely to finish 8-9 as they are 10-7. Nice guy but his time has run its course. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

margolbe Posted November 27, 2023 Share Posted November 27, 2023 McDermott has to go because he doesn't have the judgment to know that the strength of the team is the offense and he should do whatever he can to maximize the scoring. The defense is terrible and the only way we will win is by running up the scoreboard and taking the risky, rather than safe play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems as if the McD apologists are struggling enough within themselves emotionally over this all, seriously, and the realization that they were off, but at the end of the day we're all Bills fans. But it's also not as if we had any control over any of it besides spectating. We show up at the stadium, even in siht weather, assuming we can get there, and do our part for sure. At games we're all the same, even watching them on TV. I have yet to see anyone sulking over watching the team live. We're the best fans, as a collective, that any team could have. We are now world renowned. Let's keep that image in mind. If people aren't beaten over the head when they're wrong, maybe next time they won't be as hard on skeptics and people with constructive criticism. I'm hardly defending it, and I was a frequent victim of it myself, but It should all be about discussion and sharing of ideas, not who's right and who's wrong. Who cares. We're all stuck in the same boat now as fans, one that has some holes in it. Let's see where she lands. While I know that there's a small subset of fans that simply want entertaining football regardless of the outcomes to the seasons, but at the end of the day most of us want a Lombardi. GO BILLS!!!

Governor Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) Most of us agreed before the season that McD would need to make it to the AFC championship game to survive another year. That obviously isn’t happening. Injuries aren’t an excuse. Isn’t that why he has 17 defensive linemen? He can’t blame it on a coordinator that HE hired. He has no DC to blame.

Dr.Sack Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Josh Allen > Cam Newton but sadly Newton made the Bowl in year 5. Allen is in year 6 and might not even get the chance to go dancing. I’ve been a McD defender, thought Beane held him back, but McD is making bad decisions in critical moments putting it all on line on defense but not letting Allen go for it in same situation. Like after the throw to Gabe, why not at least line up and draw them offside? Worse case take a TO dial up a banger and go get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 (edited) So listening to WGR and talking about the bills and one score games I was curious. They are 17-17 in one score games. The chiefs are 29-10. Yes that may have to do with luck and officiating but I figured I would take a look and see what this year looked like. This years one score games for the bills (8 games). OT Loss: NYJ 16-22 (punt returned for TD) Loss: Jaguars 20-25 (kick returned to mid field and 3 and out. Bills get the ball with 21 seconds left on their own 5) Win: NYG 14-9 (PI not called against Bills) Loss: Patriots 25-29 (unable to stop mac jones) Win: Bucs 24-18 (hail mary failure because Bucs WRs are blind) Loss: Bengal 18-24 (unable to stop the offense) Loss: Broncos 22-24 (12 men) OT Loss: Philly 34-37 (letting them march down the field for the game tying FG) The only time the defense was able to stop someone was in the Jags game when they were losing. Otherwise, while they were ahead, the defense went soft and allowed the other team to get down the field and put the points they needed on the board to win (including the 2 games that they probably should have lost that they won). And I don't believe they "stopped" philly before the 59 yard fg. Philly just got as far as they could before time was against them. Then they took 2 penalties and couldn't risk another play with only 23 seconds left and no TOs.

Yet, somehow we made the playoffs with him and an "incredibly mediocre team." Tyrod's horrendous, "I'm afraid to throw to anyone who isn't open by 5 yards mentality" lost that game for us vs the Jags more than anything.
