The Bills knew Diggs better than any one else in the league so WHY wasn't their best CB on him all game number 1 & 2 I saw Bills WR's open on many plays WAY down field and with Allens arm it would have been 7 just about every time but the scheme I feel has Josh looking short more than long .

 

I knew this game was going to be a tough one & Vrabel had his guys ready I feel the one thing the Bills were missing is fire, Diggs was up and down the side line yelling at his guys "I NEED MORE THEY AREN'T GONG TO GIVE THIS TO US" where was that guy on the Bills side line ?

 

Some body needs to be that guy in those games to put a boot in the A** of every one on the sideline especially when they are down . That game was winnable but the urgency was on the Pats sideline they were the ones that had something to prove and did !! 

Josh is now the Elder Statesman of the Bills. All of his receivers are 5+ years younger. They all look to him for guidance. I think the urgency was there. They just couldn’t get into any offensive flow because of the lack of running game and constant flags. This was as sloppy as a game I’ve ever seen. That was the only way the Pats were going to win. Even a Bills offense performing at 80% would’ve smoked New England.

As of today I don't know but I'm certain it would be an Offensive minded coach who will tell Josh to just put points on the board, not play complimentary football.

 

Before this season I would've taken Ben Johnson ... with Josh Allen as his QB, look out. Too late now.

 

McD is going nowhere unless this team totally collapses.

It’s a coaches job to scheme to his players strengths not the other way around as mcclappy has done….statistically speaking Allen is above Brady and superbowls and championships are a team accolade 

 

If Super Bowls are a team accolade, why is it that the best Quarterbacks win most of them?   Brady, Manning, Mahomes have won almost half of the Super Bowls over the last twenty years.  Belichick never one without Brady.    Can you even name the coach Manning won his second with?   Reid never won without Mahomes.    If you want to put Josh Allen in the same class as Tom Brady go ahead, but its absolutely inane.

groundhog day with starting threads like this - yup

This team and coach has nothing to say otherwise that they won't fail like every other year. At some point when the same result is the same result you throw your hands up and say enough. They are wasting the most talented QB they will ever have in my lifetime so it would be nice for someone to show a damn pulse in the org.

Beane has been a bigger problem than McDermott. 
 

And Brady has, overall, been pure ass this season. 
 

I don’t think McDermott is elite by any means and I’ve been critical of a lot of his decision making throughout his tenure. 
 

But take a look at this defensive backfield. 
 

When you’re forced to put Tredavious White on the field … AS YOUR BEST OPTION … 

 

Your GM has failed miserably.  
 

This list of that caliber players is far too long for this to be a Super Bowl contending team. 
 

That’s not McDermott’s fault. 

White is doing what McDermott is asking him to do in this defense, and it's been the downfall of the defense in so many games that I've lost count.

 

Not saying Tre is good at this point, but whoever you wanna plug in for him would yield similar results based off of what we know about how this defense plays

Brady is the GOAT, and you are correct in that Allen isn't on his level until he wins a Super Bowl and probably multiple Super Bowls to be on Brady's level. One thing I am sure of is Bill would build a strong defense. He is also a great DC as well as HC. While Allen isn't on Brady's level I would want to see Josh in the playoffs with a strong defense on his side. I bet the Bills would have a Lombardi if he had a strong defense helping him the playoffs. Bill would give him that.

I put the statistics in another thread and wont do it here but McDermotts defenses have given up 1 more point on average in the playoffs than Belichick's have all time.    Brady takes his team down the field and wins the AFC championship last year because he recognizes the blitz pre snap.   The same fricking blitz mind you Josh didnt recognize again last night.    The Patriots didnt win championships because Belichick is a genius, the Patriots won championships because they had the best at all time under center.

So basically if we didn't go 17-0 the one seed was gone. I understand the frustration because it just feels the same every year, but we're going to lose games no one is going undefeated. Now if the team comes out as sloppy as they did last night against Atlanta then that will say allot more at least to me then losing to the Patriots how they did yesterday.

Maybe the QB needs to start recognizing blitzes from the right side of the defense, and decide not to throw interceptions in the red zone?   Also, can we merge the three separate McDermott threads?

I like Sean McDermott's overall philosophy as a head coach, and the way he runs the locker room.  Players talk all the time about how superior the culture is in Buffalo versus other teams.  That's the main reason I'm reluctant to scream for a change.

 

But I've also come to the conclusion that we will NEVER take the next step, until McDermott is willing to totally concede control of the Defense to an elite coordinator.  That means scheme, personnel and playcalling.  His system and style has completely run it's course.

 

We have seen the same problems persist for 5-6 years in a row now.  

-  Lack of QB pressure in key moments

-  Poor tackling 

-  Undersized front getting steamrolled by bigger O-Lines

-  Key injuries, also due to undersized players 

-  Cornerbacks playing too soft in coverage

 

At what point do we realize that Matt Milano and Terrell Bernard are small for linebackers, and thus will always have problems with injuries?  At what point do we realize the same thing with Taron Johnson, since we are asking him to basically play like a third linebacker half the time?  At what point do we realize that a 4-man pass rush needs elite pass rushers, and not just a constant rotation to succeed?  At what point do we realize that good QBs can pick apart soft zone coverage, and we need to draft elite guys who can go man/man against top WRs?  

 

This is the only way I can accept another season with McDermott 

 

He needs to abandon his system and bring in a top tier defensive coach that wants to do it his way with total control

I agree with you, but shouldn't this be directed at Beane more so than McDermott. Beane is the GM, and he is the one responsible for putting the roster together. I am sure McDermott has a say, but Terry Pegula said that both men report to him, and they both have equal power. Beane has the final say on GM matters when it comes to the draft and FA. So, McDermott isn't the boss of Beane like some on this board think he is.

I am. We’re witnessing his last season as OC. He’ll either have McD’s team or some other team as HC. Why not us?

You'll get no arguments from me on Coleman.  Feel like he is a wide receiver #4 on a lot of teams.

Josh has never been better at QB since he became OC and that is with a WR corp that has been meh majority of the time. I would rather he run the ship and he have stability for the offense like KC then what we have now.

It is a conference loss and division loss. The team in KC wins these games especially at home none the less. Again since 2019 it has been the same story so why expect anything different because they will lose other games also. This was a needed win to buffer for the future which they pissed away again. 

[I'm Spartacus]

Not too down on the offense. They had a breakdown, every good team does. Hopefully the penalties were an aberration and won't happen again  (when will the ref's realize the game doesn't revolve around them!). As usual, McDermott's defense SUCKS. Something must change. Leave Thomson in at linebacker...Milano is always injured. Tre White got burned too.

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

Wasn’t a great game by Joe Brady by any means and Babich/McD has a lot to answer for as well, but let’s be real. Patriots never would’ve won without heavy assistance from the refs. Every time the Bills sniffed the red zone there was a holding call or phantom offensive PI. Patriots had 0 flags going into the 3rd quarter. Constantly going from 2nd and 2 to 2nd and 12 is hard to overcome. That’s why 1st down plays are so important to get those 4-5 yard runs that Cook has been excellent at.

First place in the NFL, who cares? We have the best QB in the game of course we're in 1st place. Can you really see this defense in the SB? If so can you imagine if we can't keep Drake Maye under wraps what that offense would do to us?

 

Also calling people spineless for voicing an opinion on a Buffalo Bills message board? Grow up dude.
