Everybody can say what they want, but the reality is, we will never win the championship with him as the head coach.

And who is the coach that will win us one?

I've been screaming this since before 13 seconds, but it's not going to happen.  Unfortunately, Josh may never be able to overcome the coaching and defense handicap to even get to a Super Bowl, much less win one. 

This success of the team once again falls entirely on Josh's shoulders.  McD and Beane would have been fired years ago if Josh wasn't carrying them and the rest of the team on his back.

And this is the stupid loss that costs you the #1 seed. What a stupid game plane on both sides of the ball.

Could you imagine Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady not scoring a TD on that last drive to ice the game.  Josh is fantatsic but the inability of Bills fans to not be able to say anything remotely critical of the guy is insane.

If Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady dance around for 8 seconds, you better believe Kelce or Gronk are open. Allen was still throwing to blanketed guys after buying a ton of time.

[Bray Wyatt]

I forgot how bad this place is after a loss

I have sadly come to that conclusion to.  Look the season is far from over and they could go on and win the Super Bowl.  But IMO this is the make or break year. Anything less then an appearance in the AFC Championship game and McD should be let go.

Losses happen but this was just an all around bad loss! 
 

Outcoached and outplayed. McDermott, Brady and Babich had zero answers and the entire team struggled executing, Babich continued to let Maye run to his natural right all freakin night. I believe the D had two sacks and again the pass rush goes missing far too often. Diggs lit them up underneath and they had no answers. Poor tackling continues and the entire secondary was piss poor. 
 

The continued lack of discipline by this team is ridiculous. 
 

Offensively, I have no clue what their strategy was! For almost the entire first qtr Brady refused to put the ball into the hands of his two playmakers. At WR, Samuel and Shavers go invisible far too often. In the first half, Brady continued to outsmart himself and it ultimately bit them!

 

Unfortunately, when the Bills settled for a FG, most us knew the D wouldn’t hold. They easily moved down the field for the game winning FG. 
 

Once again the Bills lose a regular season game they had no business losing which ultimately has cost them a #1 seed.

 

Atlanta won’t be any easier!

When we lost to LA Rams last year, that was palatable because Stafford could not be stopped that night. 
 

Tonight was just self-inflicted wounds constantly and poor play calling combined with unusually high amount of poor decision making by Josh. Lot harder to digest this loss

[Buffalo Ballin]

Me and JaCrispy warned ya well before this game tonight.

 

Patriots is a nice team this season. They will be in the playoffs. Their defense is extremely tough.

 

We will be in the playoffs, too.

 

We lost the battle tonight. Most of us know why. It's our defense. It's McDermott/Babich. Some stupid offense from Brady. It's time for our team to review all their crap from tonight and eat some humble pie.

 

Some of our fan base who keep defending McDermott, have your slice, brahs. There are plenty to feed all of ya.

Well, the doom-and-gloomers and the Fire McD crowd are certainly happy tonight.

Nope

no ones happy 

 

 

[offyourocker]

I feel we should have kept running at end of our last drive instead of trying for the end zone with 2+ minutes on the clock.  That our short yardage completions

What are the realists up to ?

 

The realists are up to saying that it’s a long season and every team has a game like this.  Most teams that turn the ball over 3 times and have penalties hurt them on almost every drive, offense and defense, lose this game by 30.

[GoBills808]

Outside turnovers and penalties this is the kind of game FO wants tbh

Ok, I get how ppl are pissed.  *****, um ready to knock someone out.  But its a division game, which to me is always a up in the air...ask NE when ***** Miami ruin their chance of going undefeated.  Then the Giants the next time.  Regardless, refs calls and stupid plays by know and Coleman on fumbles cost us.  Not to mention the PI on tre when diggs was already out of bounds.  Thinking any team will go undefeated nowadays is so unrealistic.

I doubt anyone expected undefeated season,  we did expect us to beat lesser teams at home.

Okay. When we get outcoached again, and the defense gags again and we lose to KC AGAIN, I’ll see you there. 

And it will happen we all know it

Maybe this team isn’t that good. Could easily be 2-3 instead of 4-1. 
 

vrabel and maye are going to be a problem for a long while in this division. 
 

bills just don’t have enough star power to get it done in the grand scheme. 

I think they will win a SB together before McDermott and Allen do. 

 

And that's not a knock on Allen. It's a knock on McDermott.

An appearance in the AFCCG? wtf.

There’s just no elite talent besides Allen and Cook. 

Haven’t we said this for the past two years though. It’s beyond ridiculous.

Truest statement made on this board, and most will refuse to acknowledge it

 

This Bills team is vastly superior to this Pats team, but Vrabel with a little help in the first half mucked it up enough to allow them to have a chance which we all know how that goes

You can’t do that anymore

I believe the rule is that if it lands in the end zone, the new touch back rules takes it to the 35, but if it lands in the landing zone, like where it did, and you let it go out the end zone, it goes to the 20.

Josh was falling back on old bad habits a lot of the night…stepping up to run when he had plenty of time to throw, missing free rushers, etc. when he did get a pass off it was a laser (outside of the INT) so he threw the ball great most of the night but he was still doing some silly stuff with the ball in his hands 

 

That's the biggest annoyance. I thought he'd got over that and it's suddenly reared it's ugly head. Why? Fingers crossed it's a one off.
