Livinginthepast Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 The frustrating thing about McD in his entire time here is that he is so inconsistent in these big games. He has gotten so many big games right . Yesterday the team look prepared and they executed almost flawlessly. Then other games where they look woefully unprepared in all areas (like Cincy playoff game etc). Yesterday might have been in McD's top 3 as coach. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since Brady has taken over it does seem to have lightened his load and given him a second wind, can't count the Jets game 1st game with Brady and also the Jets don't have an offense. He started to do it against the Eagles then it's like he had a relapse starting in the second half. But it does feel like they're building steam right now and it's a hell of a time to do it. 16 hours ago, Eastport bills said: Sean has to take a lot of credit for a defensive performance that rivals any in years. These players were prepared to be physically dominant and fundamentally sound. No stupid penalties, great tackling and pressure when needed was what we served up today. Dallas walked out of Buffalo a beaten and demoralized team. What an incredible game. That team came into Buffalo as a top Super Bowl contender and walked out questioning their existence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But can they play that focused week after week after week? That's always been the issue under McDermott. The lack of consistency. They'll play a great game, maybe two great games in a row. But then follow it up with a stinker where the team is out of synch, tight, unmotivated, unfocused, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we do know is this team almost never has games like Dallas did yesterday. Do you know what team has the least amount of double digit losses?

zow2 Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Other than the perfect game vs NE, I don't think I've seen Buffalo play with such determination, physicality and preparedness as they did yesterday vs what is considered a good team. Even the DB's...the coverage was STICKY. And the hitting was crazy...some of it seemed like it was borderline late but hey, it sends a message. Just a great game by McDermott. Props to him for getting the team to play like that. They defended every blade of grass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 I've been a huge critic, and while I still have concerns about what happens come January should this team makes the playoffs, McD has responded in a major way as the SB hype will be in full force right now in regards to the Bills and what they are capable of.

Or the Eagles, currently the #2 seed in the NFC standings, who nearly lost to the Bills and got destroyed by Dallas.

Big Turk Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 Look at what they have done against #1 receivers since the Bucs game: Evans 3 catches 39 yards Chase 4 catches 41 yards Sutton 8 catches 53 yards G. Wilson 2 catches 9 yards AJ Brown 5 catches 37 yards Kelce 6 catches 83 yards Lamb 7 catches 53 yards That's pretty damn good defense against the other teams best weapon. They are starting to put it all together now and peaking at the right time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Sean is focused on defensive preparation and coaching physicality with the entire squad and he’s stressing discipline and cutting out penalties. Brady is calling plays that enhance the talent on the team and especially the O-line because they are playing with aggression run blocking for good backs. Too bad it took 3/4 of the season to get there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
