DCofNC Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Most of you must be have grown up in an abusive home. You don’t change your tune about a guy bc he’s not currently slapping you around, you have to recall all the times he has and hold him accountable. if he can get his team close to the SB, I can forgive him, lose to the Steelers and I’m out. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Not to mention this isn’t the first time he’s coached the team from middling to hot streak to close out the division in style—2021 we were 7-6 and proceed to rip off the remaining games—that counts for something too.

PBF81 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Let's see how we do in the playoffs first. Beating a depleted Miami team, barely, while an impressive 2nd-Half, was only moderately impressive. Allen was a beast and without Harty's return TD ... Having said that, we're all happy until the next game. Pitt/Pickett should be somewhat of a breather, and hopefully Miami or KC can beat Baltimore at home, then hopefully we keep winning, host the AFCCG and then win the Super Bowl. Just let's not get outcoached. GO BILLS!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 He doesn't deserve the job until he hangs them up. But for me any thought of him deserving to be fired was contingent on missing the playoffs (not that he would have been anyway but there would have been a legitimate argument that he should). He deserves to coach the team next year. And every season is a new season. You have to earn the right all over again. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should be HC until he’s decides he wants to hang them up. He should be in consideration for coach of the year. I said it in the 2nd half thread I said it after Dallas that if he gets this team the division for me I will forgive 13 seconds. That’s over. I’m done with it. No use looking back. He could have lost this team he could have lost it tonight and he didn’t. I’m not sure all fans understand how big a deal this run has been. Now finish it. Go win the championship.

Nelius Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 He earned it. It was a long shot at one point, but he did absolutely everything correct to earn it. His defense has been incredible and has improved over last year, minus Milano nonetheless. Minus both of your previous LBs come to think of it. Brady move worked. Yes, McD had pretty much been lights out since he was rightfully on the warm seat. They also just played a clip of him genuinely screaming with joy on WGR and it’s hard not to root for him. 4 in a row is historic.

stuvian Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Clappy got us from 6-6 to 11-6 and the division title. We had no business beating the Dolphins tonight. McDermott coached that win out of us.

Buffalo03 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 1 hour ago, Process said: As a head coach, as a leader, I have been as down on him as anyone on these boards. I still believe that if this team doesn't at least make the AFCG we need to strongly consider moving on. But his defense has been absolutely lights out down the stretch, and is THE reason we are in the playoffs. All year are offense has struggled. With turnovers. With moving the ball. And that didn't change during our 5 game win streak. We consistently put the defense in bad positions. And they consistently got the stops needed to keep us in games. An absolute masterclass from Sean to end the season, and he deserves a lot of praise. Actually I still feel our offense did move the ball better every game under Brady. If we eliminate the self inflicted wounds. Our offense will be as dynamic as it was in 2020 and 2021 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s a very defensive coach and seems to be growing as a HC as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProcessImproverMan Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 McDermott is a huge reason for why our offense has been off at times this year. A disproportionate amount of resources have been invested into the defensive side of the ball compared to the offense. Besides trading a first for Diggs (which could have been used to grab the much better Jefferson), we have not spent a top 3 round pick on a receiver or grabbed a top receiver in free agency his time here. Another stud receiver fixes alot of the issues on this offense. And he stuck with Dorsey for way too long. His defense has played better but with the investments made, there's no excuse not to. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JÂy RÛßeÒ Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I think he took some of his own "growth mindset" medicine, did some self-scouting, and made some changes/improvements during the bye that have helped. His end-of-close-game mindset on both sides of the ball is WAY better - we're being way more aggressive. Defensively we're pressuring opposing QBs into mistakes rather than being passive and hoping they don't break a big play. Offensively we're not just trying to run out the clock. His time-out usage seems better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah fair, that year I was just happy to snap the drought and just being in the dance for once was enough but now that we have Allen and we've become a postseason fixture it's SB and that's the goal. McD has proven he can lead a team through rough seas into the postseason and he's proven that he can turn chicken ***** into chicken salad by somehow keeping the defense firing on all cylinders even in the face of many, many injuries. His last test imo is keeping it going for 4 more games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that this is probably McD's finest hour in terms of what he was able to accomplish this year given the aforementioned circumstances, but it still means absolutely nothing unless this team finally goes the distance this year and plays real playoff caliber football. Losing this week to the Steelers or a 3rd straight loss in the divisional round still warrants serious consideration of moving on from him sooner than later in my eyes. Some would probably argue that even another AFCCG appearance (and loss) that he should be replaced. It's now or never for this group that's going to look vastly different next year regardless of how far they go in the postseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted January 9 Share Posted January 9 I have been critical of Mcd this season but if he leads this team to the AfC Champhionship that will be 7 wins in a row into December and the Playoffs.
